Yea but they won't actually let go of Chromium/Blink. It will get rolled into some Mozilla-like shit org that will be all ex-Googlers getting paid Mozilla-level money and moving ahead with removing all the parts of the API that allow for request (advert) blocking.

Microsoft is still one of the top 10 tech companies a decade plus from its anti-trust case. (while Intel is crashing and burning). CIA-backed Google will somehow find a way to use this to get multiple powerful entities.

If you read about most people who make it past 100 (centennials) you'll fine people who just eat fish and chips or who don't exercise other than walking or short bike rides or who smoke. Meanwhile most marathon runners don't make it to 80 (heavy intake and burn of energy reduces your lifespan a bit).

Living to 100 is probably pure genetic lottery. There's nothing you can do to get you there, and there probably aren't a lot of them because there's zero evolutionary pressure that benefits humans for living that long.

Yea ... that's not how a lot of the big open source software is made today. There is money behind everything from Gnome to KDE. Intel/IBM piratically own the Linux kernel at this point. The Linux Foundation's staff have been caught using Macs and Microsoft Office for most things and a fraction of their money goes to development. Gnome recently had to let go of staff. Elastic and Redis have broken their commitments to FOSS and closed their licenses .. and the OpenSearch alternative to Elastic is funded entirely by Amazon as a massive fuck-you fork to them. Mozilla is a fucking advertising company.

We're a long way from the 90s and the days of FreshMeat/SourceForge/Slashdot.

Open source is not an example of "beating back capitalism" .. it might never have been really.
