So basically, Google realized they fucked up by tightly integrating their browser with their OS, and now they’re doing what they should’ve done in the first place by uncoupling them.

It’d be badass if someone used this opportunity to make a ChromeOS fork based around Firefox.

I’ve heard of this before. Stupid question, but what’s the risk of being banned from Discord for using it?

2020 was such a shit year in computing. So many things got killed off. CentOS, Windows 7, Flash, and Python 2.x, off the top of my head, and probably some other things as well.

I mean yeah, most of these things were getting long in the tooth, but they were widely used and it would’ve been nice if they were all supported longer.

I’d love it if the KDE devs made Baloo and Akonadi optional. Their insistence on including them reminds me of Micro$oft’s insistence on bundling Internet Explorer and integrating it into the OS shell in Windows 98.

So, is kbin.social not defederating from Threads then? I’ll be really disappointed if that’s the case.

I’m a Linux user, but I like having control over my own hardware, and I don’t want my next PC to be an underpowered thin client designed only to work with a commercial cloud OS. I hope this doesn’t take off any time soon.

I actually had no idea EVGA made motherboards at all until I saw this. Last thing I bought from them was a power supply many years ago. Whatever the case, it sounds like this has been debunked.
