      Is this a response to the fact that they may not get paid for having Google as their default search engine? If so, I worry about a bunch of Linux distributions. It’s ironic that a company’s toxic virtual monopoly was paying for so much open software.

      Eh, they’ve been speedrunning this for years, this is just the most efficient way to get to the end goal of complete ruin.

      I have a few alternative ideas, but I honestly don’t think they’re interested in hearing them.
