Is there a pointer to the exploit or would that be illegal to post?

Have a meta quest 3 but want to replace the chrome browser on and generally meta as well.

Or amazon that can undercut any merchant on their platform by cross financing the losses by selling more aws servers.

That’s the other side of diversification: undercutting your competition until they go out of business. Then prices are raised again.

I wonder what is stopping apple from cloning the top ten apps in each category using AI and then booting the original developers off the app store.

There was once the idea of expiring money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demurrage_currency

GNU Taler seems more like an expiring invoice that requires paying in a specific timeframe.

Google might end up paying some minimal fine and everyone else will continue to drink their tea.

Google probably even factored in the expected fine versus having the data centre done X months/years earlier compared to completing all the red tape in due course.

That’s how corps make profit: by weighing up costs versus time versus risks versus legality. Won’t be surprised that they even considered making ~~bribes~~ political donations to get it done faster.

Didn’t Stalin say that the death of one person is tragic. On the other hand, the death of a million people is just a statistic.

Perhaps the same applies to trees.

I once envisioned a matter call "Doesn't Matter" as a possible extension to "Dark Matter" and "Antimatter". I have the feeling that "Doesn't Matter" is far more wide spread than matter, dark matter and antimatter but it seems to be even more elusive, not interacting at all with anything else.

When I read the title of this post, I thought "Doesn't Matter" had suddenly been discovered and given the property of non-determinism. Which would actually fit quite well to its core physical manifestation.

Hubs Mozilla never died, it just became a foundation.

Anyone here have experience setting this up locally, completely offline on a local host or is that not possible?

Seems to require k8s or a remote server.

Or anything can be said about everything and everything can be said about anything.

In the end, nothing can be said about many things and many things say nothing. Those things are then left to interpretation.
