Venture capitalism is what it’s called, I think

That’s really interesting! Keeping this in mind for future games I want to mod.

Yes, something where FOSS shines. Linus’ law and Kerckhoff’s principle.

Too bad this doesn’t really mention the Fediverse or open-source software. Seems a next logical step

I… Don’t understand what you said here 🫤

Ugh.

I mean… For real, I’ve never heard of Linux systems being hacked this way. I’m sure it’s possible, but it certainly seems rarer.

Slipping shit in upstream also certainly doesn’t happen "that* often. It takes effort to become recognised enough as a developer to be allowed access to the upstream code, meaning you can’t automate those kinds of attacks. (I imagine. Correct me if I’m wrong.)

Don’t forget the raging alcoholism

Isn’t Lineage reliant upon AOSP existing, though? I imagine it’ll be tough surviving for them once all the restrictions Google’s been announcing are put in place…

I imagine that’s because that would be against the interests of the owners of those companies. Which presumably have some power in the world, being practically internationally successful banks.

Tldr; money.

Bless you.

I would never buy this, but it’s nice that it exists

Bazzite, really? I had never really heard of it before now! Very interesting.

I mean… There’s good laptop brands. Stuff like https://shop.mntre.com/ or https://frame.work/

I like champagne.pages.dev/

SLAMMED

Oh… That’s… Disappointing. Firefox it is, then, for now.

It’s weird… It makes “business” sense, too. If you want people to use your stuff and you can choose to appeal to more people, why wouldn’t you? I think we’ve reached the stage of normalcy now where using “they” and “them” are not in itself something that would necessarily scare away right-wing users (given you want to keep appealing to that attractive market, too.)

Good to know, thanks for passing this on!

Ah… Proprietary hardware and software. Ugh.

Hadn’t heard of this, but I’m going to switch now!
