That's exactly how it works. Find the fault lines and apply pressure. If you do it right, it doesn't even cost much.
I will be honest. I didn't read that article because it's too click-baity. Using https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/ I see that Firefox is about 3% of 5b users. Not insignificant.
That 3% is about 150mil users. IMO, less than it should be. Google has great security, but terrible privacy. I switched middle of last year, from brave to FF for reasons I won't get into here. Suffice it to say, they are numerous.
It truly is troubling that they don't have independent funding. I, for one would pay $10/y for this service. Maybe I could donate?
Anyway, it's a superior product in many ways.
Samhain was co-opted (into all hallows eve) by Christians to convince more celts to convert, wasn't it?
Edit: I just realized I "well actually'd"... Sorry about that. LOL
Maybe because it's a totally unserved population. Even if you can afford mental health care, which many/most can't, it's very difficult to find a doc. There's a shortage and an inability to pay.

The article mentions neither of these issues. Perhaps his irresponsible for not doing so.
China accused the US of infiltrating Huawei Technologies Co. servers beginning in 2009, part of a broad-based effort to steal data that culminated in tens of thousands of cyber-attacks against Chinese targets last year.
The Tailored Access Operations unit of the National Security Agency carried out the attacks in 2009, which then continuously monitored the servers, China’s Ministry of State Security said in a post on its official WeChat account on Wednesday. It didn’t provide details of attacks since 2009.
Cyberattacks are a point of tension between Washington and Beijing, which has accused its political rival of orchestrating attacks against Chinese targets ever since Edward Snowden made explosive allegations about US spying. Washington and cybersecurity researchers have said the Asian country has sponsored attacks against the West.
The ministry’s accusations emerged as the two countries battle for technological supremacy. Huawei in particular has spurred alarm in Washington since the telecom leader unveiled a smartphone powered by an advanced chip it designed, which was made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. That’s in spite of years-long US sanctions intended to cut Huawei off from the American technology it needs to design sophisticated chips and phones.

The US has been “over-stretching” the concept of national security with its clampdown on Chinese enterprises, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
“What we want to tell the US is that suppression and containing of China will not stop China’s development. It will only make us more resolved in our development,” Mao said.
On Tuesday, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she was “upset” when Huawei released the Mate 60 Pro during her visit to China last month, but noted the US has no evidence the Asian nation can make the advanced semiconductors powering the handset “at scale.”
The brevity of life teaches us to cherish it. My condolences.
Given the author's political affiliation and the apparent lack of coverage of this anywhere else I find it difficult to make any conclusions other than those that would indicate the author's politically makes.
"AI won't take your job. People who know how to use it will."
I've seen this quote floating about, and I get the feeling that the author of this article doesn't understand how to use this new tool yet. I feel like they are missing the point.
The Google search engine, when it was new, would never take someone's job either, but those that knew how to Google properly definitely had an advantage.
Of course not. They aren't technologists, they're capitalists. Their primary concern is capital.
It's funny because if you look at the numbers it looks like traffic started to go down before chat GPT was actually released to the public, indicating that maybe people thought that the site was too much of a pain in the ass to deal with before that and GPT is just the nail in the coffin.
Personally, of all the attempts I've had it positive interactions on that site I've had only one and at this point I treat it as a read-only site because it's not worth my time arguing pedants just to get a question answered.
If I went to the library and all the librarians were assholes I probably wouldn't go to that library anymore either.
So, if you want access to the games you paid for, you need to pirate them?
100% I hate the fact that we're funneling money I'm anti-war but the alternative is definitely much worse. If we don't support Ukraine, Russia gains power and a free pass to invade whoever the hell they want. If we don't support Israel we leave a power vacuum and The power influence of the US gets replaced by either Russia or China. No good options anyehere.
Obviously, supporting Israel is also supporting genocide. It's a classic catch-22.
I'm so glad I'm not the president! He gets to choose between eating a shit sandwich, and eating shit gumbo.
At least Ukraine has a pretty righteous cause. So there's that...
