How is it wasted? So much of their revenue comes from search deals, which are floundering in the courts and being displaced in the wild (by LLM-powered search).

Yeah they can host one webpage that links back to Mozilla.org. Nice!

Scams, likely!

Many past Pixel devices, which are still in support, cannot seem to run a mainline kernel.

1. You are assuming the goal is to spend as little money on art as possible. Which isn't the case for a lot of us.

2. Not everything is on Spotify. E.g. the song Golden Girl by Frank Ocean. Or most Neil Young songs.

Maybe you are confused because the old client name, Riot, was sunset in favor of Element?

AIUI the protocol was and is called Matrix. There seems to be no intention to depart from that name.

NAT64 and DNS64 can help your v6-only hosts cope with the ubiquity of v4-only hosts.

I wish I could get the lower specced CPU with the bigger battery :/

I also find it interesting, because I'd be surprised if many of those people who live in small, southern towns are not low-income. Trying to live beyond one's means is the best way to stay broke.
