Re: the Chromium bad one - I'll be honest, the Firefox fanboyism was strong on Reddit too, and stronger actually because of how many people used Reddit back then. It's just that because Lemmy is mainly populated by tech nerds that you'll see them much more on the meme communities.
There's a small but notable trend of AI covers. I went down a rabbit hole of them myself, and found myself at Sonic the Hedgehog singing Shape of You by Ed Sheeran.
No prob! I did use Tree Style Tabs and that helped a bit but Vivaldi's extra features and how streamlined it is just edge it out as better than Firefox + addons for me. There's also tab workspaces for grouping tabs into screens, typically on what type of browsing you're doing, and tab tiling which Firefox was able to do back in its XUL days but can't do in Quantum. I think Firefox would be pretty neat with a power-user oriented fork to bring back some missing features.
My only issue with Vivaldi is, if a site is still providing insecure HTTP for whatever reason (7digital for some reason still provides purchase downloads this way) then Vivaldi silently fails. Firefox clearly warns the user, so that's my reason for having Firefox on hand - for those stragglers.
Because I need tab organisation to stop my arse from overflowing with tabs and getting overwhelmed, which Vivaldi does nicely with workspaces and Firefox can't really do at all.
Sounds to me like they messed up the communication between them and the devs. If they directed the PR submitter to Fedora, I think there wouldn't be as much fuel to the fire.
Granted, all the chaos surrounding RHEL does make me a little worried for Fedora. Fedora is not a bad distro by any means, and I don't want to have to not recommend it because of the drama.
This is great lol. When my friend tried Linux Mint he had to go into the terminal to install Brave, as they don't just provide a .DEB like other browsers do. Maybe I should recommend Fedora to him as well.
The publisher is Outright Games, who also published My Friend Peppa Pig and the Paw Patrol games (still weird seeing those on Steam ngl). It's probably going to be something along the lines of those. With the right writers, and Bluey is well-known for how well written it is, this could be good for families.
He lied about the plans for third party apps, he lied about Apollo, he called mods "landed gentry". Why should we trust him on this? The mods really need to really let go and turn their backs.
GOG is good if the game you want is on there. I got the ultimate edition of Fallout New Vegas for like £5. It was like £10-15 on Steam at the time. Great deal. The main issue is they're strictly anti-DRM for offline games so the bigger developers are less inclined to put their games on there, but whatever.
The way Epic handled competition was by strong-handing exclusives constantly without actually providing a better service. Last time I bought a game from Epic, it didn't even have a cart system to buy games in bulk. Couple that with the tolerance of cryptocurrency/blockchain and acquisitions of sites like Artstation and Bandcamp, and yeah - people have reasons to not like Epic. I've heard stories of people getting locked out of their banks because of the lack of a cart and they were buying a lot of games in a short amount of time. I've also heard stories about people's Epic accounts getting breached because of Fortnite BS.
And I'm saying this as someone who uses multiple launchers. I hated Steam back in the mid-2010s (skipped the middleman and bought GTAV from Rockstar directly) and they were in quite a bad rut with Steam Greenlight and the paid mods fiasco. People were rightfully loudly critical of Steam and at a time, Valve really did not deserve taking a 30% cut. They've done a lot since then to recoup that lost trust and deserve the 30% cut, Proton and the Steam Deck being a massive part of that for many people.

I'll just enjoy the fun from the comfort of whoever reposts it on Lemmy.
