Because it is still Chromium... With crypto BS

If Google pay the best search price that funds browser development, why not? Firefox aren't in the search market. They could easily go bing or yahoo like they used previously, but more income means more money away for building modern web browsers which are millions of lines of code.

Brave don't need to do that because Google codes their browser for them.

It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.

I've saved your comment and will give it another try when I get chance. Thanks.

I couldn't get OBS working. X11 works for it, so I keep using it. Hopefully eventually, I won't need to, but I don't have the time to spend hours researching and troubleshooting. I tried, failed, but x11 Just Works TM. I'm part of the problem, I guess.

I don't agree, it is perfectly normal to spy on people and make sure they're not committing a crime. I'm sure execs of these companies and those politicians would be fine with that if we were watching from their windows just to make sure they aren't using illegal content... /s

So they abandoned what built them up. They sold out?

Yes. Jitsi was one of the best for a while. Secure and just works. I think Element wasn't e2e encrypted while debugging but I'm guessing is close to usable. I mentioned it more as a FOSS alternative.

Exploding heads was slow. Hexbear was instantaneous.

Read the Hexbear defederation post if you want to see how subjective it actually was.

Don't get me wrong, commies are badly misguided, but they can hold a good faith rational debate.

Or... he's just a dick. I don't hate him. Hate is an unnecessary negative emotion.

However, his track record is pretty damning, and if you think people dislike him only because the media tell them, then I'm afraid your ability to see and appraise information is pretty compromised.

They're quick when it comes to defederating lefties. Not so much with toxic right wingers.

In all seriousness though, some apps copy subbed communities. Having a backup lemmy is useful.

Maybe. Mint came first, and I wonder what purposes those other ones were trying to serve. I don't know or care enough about the others. Do they differentiate enough to bother with?

I use Plasma and like it. I wouldn't have stuck around or really got started if it wasn't for Mint.

Only Manjaro. Every distro has something different. Unfortunately, regular breakages isn't a differentiation people are after.

Yes, but Ubuntu has snaps. Cinnamon is preferred by many to Gnome. It has clear differences.

The most literal shitpost.

Just turn off studies, pocket and change default search.

Not using Chromium is about preventing the WEI rollout.

Yeah, definitely would avoid. I've had to reinstall twice on desktop, twice on mobile due to update breakage. Mint is a great starting point. Kubuntu if you don't mind snaps and like KDE.

Brave shill/chrome shill or both?

Compared to windows, not LFS or Arch. Considering it works well on 10 year old devices, either people concerned are using 20 year old hardware, or are a little too paranoid of "bloatware".
