What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?

Maybe the Nobel should have went to you.

No identifiers, so your social graph stays private.

Also has an independent security audit.

To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

You can change the color.

Its an alias, so no problem.

Chrome still uses WebKit.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.

However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

People who don’t understand what an OS is typically use linux mint fine because they just open chrome or Firefox.

Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.

Only matters if fine is at least 5% Facebook revenue probably.

Most statically typed languages can’t because they don’t implement Hindley-Milner type inference.

If some has to know to unplug the internet, try to sign up, and force an error to bypass sign up…

It is forcing.

Microsoft sucks for this, outlook, “open source vscode”, and many other reasons.

That said my current workaround is to use sourcegraph.
