It's not. Trump has always wanted to revert back to a predominantly white America if he could achieve it. The government is racist and hides their racism behind shitty interpretations of our founding articles.
So, these will just be dumped into schools and the already deteriorating education system will just collapse because kids won't know anything and Gemini will just be doing everything for them.
I bet they were already in talks for being acquired and not open sourcing Arc was one of the conditions.
Who knows what Atlassian will do with it, but I did find it a bit frustrating that in the Atlassian blog announcing the acquisition, they showcase images of Arc when they're specifically talking about Dia. The two browsers do not have UI parity, and much of what I loved about Arc would need to be recreated in Dia.
Ugh. Can't someone please just let us customize how we want to experience the Internet? It seems like a right to repair law. But right to remove. If I know how to take out ads and I want them gone, I should be free to do so.
I think that we'll need to adopt network-level filtering if we want to outsmart the browsers. I haven't looked back since adopting NextDNS and configuring my router to filter all traffic through it. It does a great job of stripping ads out of all my devices connected to it, and that's something I don't mind paying a few bucks for a year (I think it's like $19/year).
Apple's monopoly via an app store and its market share is the only reason why PWAs aren't already ubiquitous. It makes no sense why I can't download a web app to my phone directly from any browser other than "well, that would cut into our monetization through IAPs and the app store." Genuinely, fuck Apple for holding the web back.
