For the curious, there's a very good Mastodon thread by North Carolina farmer @sarahtaber@mastodon.online about modern family farm economics and farmers who still support Trump:

My Ashley O. doll is starting to glitch out a little. Should I be worried?

Corel bought Paint Shop Pro and destroyed it, not Adobe, though it was an Adobe-style move to be sure.

It's the most popular web browser in the world. Direct access to the browser windows and browsing data of the majority of Internet users would be the point.

And the world supports many free and open source OSes, many of which have no present ties to or support by the people or organizations who started the things they were forked from.

I see no reason why the next big browser thing couldn't be a Firefox fork.

Firefox started as a fork of the Mozilla browser that was really good in its own right, got rid of bundled stuff people didn't want from the previous project, gathered user and developer support, and caught on. Why shouldn't a good fork of Firefox be able to do the same?
