Sure, but with China everyone more less knew this. The US has used up the last benefit of the doubt that they had in the past 5 months.

It makes sense for Chinese smartphone OEMs to move away from the Google version of Android. In the medium to long term you are setting up yourself for failure if you are reliant on an American company.

Unfortunately, the United States cannot be trusted.

F-Droid has the potential to make a much a bigger impact on a relative basis. Most people with still use default app stores, but I think F-Droid still has a long way even among semi-technical audiences.

It was require a different set of incentives, as wall as massive (global) reforms in judicial system, criminal approaches and rehabilitation policies for organized crime.

Seems fine.

Sounds about right for crypto scheme participants.

Vapid American techology industry insiders are incapable of making a truly good, user-focused product.

P.S. Let’s not forget that Rose’ last project was a NFT scam and some other blockchain bullshit. He clearly can’t think outside the box.

Spam about a once in a lifetime opportunity for generational wealth via an investment into PooPooCoin?

You can post to Mastodon and tag Lemmy community and the Mastodon post will appear as a Lemmy post.

There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn’t work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it’s only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

Love the “programmer politics” concept.

I think your description of “bootleg CPUs” is spot on. I was even younger (pre-teen) than you in those days. Some of my first computing experiences were on a 486 running Windows 3.1 in 95 or so. I was waiting for my mother to finish work and I was allowed to mess around on the receptionist’s computer.

I am just thinking it would be crazy to have say a bootleg Ryzen (or even Snapdragon) in our time.

Crazy to think that the concept of “bootleg quality” was even possible for a CPU.

Ah I see. So all 486 CPUs and early 586 clones with original Pentiums still being supported.

The patch series today though would end support for original i486 processors as well as early i586 processors. The kernel patches would remove support for CPUs lacking TSC and CX8/CMPXCHG8B capabilities. Basically this would put the minimum upstream Linux kernel support for 32-bit processors at the original Pentium CPU with CMPXCHG8B and Time Stamp Counter (TSC) support.

There were 586 CPUs that were not Pentiums? Article implies the original Pentium would be the new baseline, but then what 586 CPUs would lose support?

Or better yet, it adds LEDs to your web browsing experience (in-page and inside PWAs) and the colours scheme is synchronized with your computer’s LED.

Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves “influencers” and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don’t even accept sponsorships).

It downloads RAM for you, sells your browsing data to major gaming companies, helps you stay on top of your Twitch subs by disabling the ability to block web notifications.

You know, a gaming browser.

I agree with you, I may be even more cynical than you with respect to senior executives’ public statements and corporate PR.

I just don’t see a clear motive for the DDG CEO to inflate the valuation of Chrome. The examples you cite seem a bit far fetched (to me), I could be wrong of course.

That is a possibility.

However, I think in this particular case, the DDG CEO is better qualified than me or you to evaluate the value of Chrome. I can’t think of any reason for Weinberg to promote an inflated valuation for Chrome.
