As an American, Americans are strangled by Microsoft.

Microsoft doesn't actually care because most of their revenue is from corporate environments tied to the OS and their cloud offerings. Everyday users are nothing to them, which is why they don't try harder to keep you from using unactivated copies of windows. You are nothing

Forking Linux and continuing to do that instead of up streaming is a massive task, especially as time goes by and code similarities drift. It's much better to upstream. This is why fortune 500 companies contribute to the Linux kernel.

The old guard in the Linux kernel have a real stick up their ass against anything not C, despite Linus himself advocating that rust drivers should at least be looked at. It's turned off a lot of new blood doing projects like Asahi because they don't have upstream support so the burden of the project is much too great for a hobbyist endeavor for something that should otherwise be fun and mentally engaging.

Flatpaks are good, especially compared to snap.

The future is atomic OS's like silverblue, which will make heavy use of things like flatpak.

If anyone is wondering the connection:

This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.

Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.

These talking points about identity originated from kiwi farms.

It's this kind of weird unhealthy speculation that gets people to step down.

I'd not perpetuate it.

This is not the first time Malibal made an appearance.

Last time I heard about them, they shafted the CoreBoot people then also banned the several countries from doing business with them.

Malibal is legitimately insane.

The name has already made this nonviable for the average person

The 'block element' picker is the big one that can not be implemented in the lite version.

Also included block lists can't update unless the extension itself updates.

If you're not stuck on chrome due to workplace policy or something, now is the time to switch to Firefox
