Also good context for why the launch of Chrome was such a big deal.

Can someone chime in with the credibility of this Twitter account? I can't find anything to cross collaborate it other than low quality hype induced news articles about the tweet itself.

Yes, but the people with the RAM nowadays are the data centers, not the end users.

GrapheneOS allows you to deny network access per app pretty trivially. Google Play services make it a bit more difficult because the app might marshall the network request through that; I'm not sure how to verify that behavior when it happens.

A Linux Distro that comes with Wine and Application shortcuts could probably achieve this. Sounds really cool actually. Retro LAN Party Distro.

Bluetooth autoconnect configuration is a Wayland issue? I honestly would have never guessed. I always figured it was the responsibility of the DE or bluez service.

I think the endgame is you go to Google or your favorite subscription based LLM for knowledge instead of visiting websites. Ads can continue living within LLM search results and it can even become a marketplace where you order within the LLM environment.

I've been using my 2012 Paperwhite Kindle with Calibre and the experience is honestly great. The only thing I miss from the Amazon shut down is Wikipedia lookup and highlight/note syncing. Otherwise, I've steered clear of Amazon DRM for a long time so I didn't really care because I was already sideloading books with Calibre.

I reject your definition of welfare. You're thinking far too narrowly about the benefit to society by taking care of your citizens' needs.

Who is "the author" these days? Is it Slime? I wonder what Rude and Bartbes and vrld are up to these days. Are releases still done on holidays? Are all libraries still named after sex themes? I was active for versions 0.4 - 0.6.
