Yeah, I mean Google caring about Linux isn’t exactly breaking news. We knew that already. Android and ChromeOS both exist and as web company they kinda have to care about the OS that by and large runs the web. But this is Phoronix and they’ll make articles about anything as long as they think as it’ll get engagement. “Chromium” and “Wayland” are pretty good buzzwords as far as that goes, thus this article. My point is more so that maybe it isn’t productive to have every acknowledgment of Chromium’s continued existence be overwhelmingly negative regardless of context.

This isn’t something to complain about, IMO. Chromium is a popular app and it is a good thing to see work on supporting FDO protocols and improving Wayland support. I prefer Firefox myself, but it’s nice that Linux support isn’t just an afterthought for Google either and more importantly it trickles down to the countless apps on Linux that depend on Chromium in some form (usually through Electron). I personally use several, including but not limited to Slack, Discord, r2modman and VSCodium.

Esperanto has grammatical gender.

Uh, Cinnamon does not need a compatibility app to run Qt apps. No desktop environment does. You mostly just need to be X11 or Wayland compliant. The same is true with GTK.

MV3 doesn’t make adblockers impossible, only less effective. It’s important to note that MV3 has changed a fair bit since the initial controversy and isn’t quite as limiting as it used to be. The fact that adblockers will lose some functionality at all is still a dealbreaker for me and many others which I thankfully won’t have to deal with as a Firefox user, but it isn’t going to kill adblockers on Chrome and most users will probably just install an MV3-compatible adblocker and move on with their day.

uBlock Origin’s developers don’t seem to want to make a proper MV3 port, which is fair because they’d probably have to rewrite most of the extension, but they did create the far more minimal uBlock Orgin Lite, which a lot of people have taken to be an attempt at porting uBlock Origin to MV3. It isn’t that. On top of MV3’s limitations, it also makes the decision to work within these self-imposed restrictions:

• No broad host permissions at install time – extended permissions are granted explicitly by the user on a per-site basis.

• Entirely declarative for reliability and CPU/memory efficiency.

These aren’t MV3 limitations, just a thing Gorhill decided to do. See the FAQ. You can get much closer to uBlock Origin within MV3’s constraints than uBlock Origin Lite does. Right now, the best option appears to be AdGuard, which has been making a true best-effort attempt at porting their adblocker to MV3 pretty much since the announcement.

The map only includes land borders. St Pierre and Miquelon are islands, so they have none. France has several small islands scattered around the world as legacy of the French Empire which are also absent from OP’s map for the same reason. Saint Martin on the center left is a notable exception, since it’s divided in two between France and the Netherlands.

itch.io also has a Linux app

So… why are people upset about this? I’d say it’s about damn time. Having two settings apps is pretty ridiculous and it’s honestly crazy it’s taken them this long to ditch the control panel. I still remember people making fun of Microsoft’s inability to drop control panel in the Windows 10 era. Is there anything special about the control panel or uniquely terrible about the settings app that would warrant this kind of negative reaction? Is it because of the settings that aren’t available in settings? If they’re preparing to drop control panel that probably means they’re going to add whatever settings are still stranded on it to the new settings app, unless there’s evidence that they won’t do that.

Er, yes. It’s one of the main features being introduced in 3.0. I don’t know why you would just assume they’re not adding it without looking it up. It made quite a bit of noise when it started being in the works.

Basically everywhere I go on Lemmy you’re there spouting ignorant bullshit, garbage takes, rage-bait and misinformation. You’re inescapable. This is the perfect example. You know what you’re saying is wrong. You know you’re being dishonest. Do you wanna know how I know? Because I literally told you as much less than two weeks ago when you tried spreading the same lies. But you didn’t care back then and you still don’t care now. The only thing you seem to care about going by the other things I’ve seen you post is pushing your favorite projects, and you will use all of the arguments available to do so, including the ones that you just entirely made up. You think LadyBird is the better project and are trying to spread the belief that Servo is dead to make others buy into the LadyBird hype further. But, of course, Servo verifiably isn’t dead and in fact the Servo team writes up monthly blog posts detailing their progress, which show the project developing at a healthy pace. And to top it all off, when these facts are pointed out to you, your only comeback is “means nothing”. Clearly you’re not the kind of person to let facts tie you down.

LadyBird is an unusable pre-alpha-quality web browser. The fact that they haven’t bothered porting to Windows yet is both thoroughly unsurprising and entirely meaningless. In its current state, it wouldn’t become popular either way. But I guess Linux users have this weird inferiority complex where everything must instantly be dropped to port to Windows even when it makes little sense to do so.

WebKit/Blink are mostly LGPL.

WebKit isn’t dead and is being used by GNOME Web.

Because it doesn’t matter for most apps. XWayland works fine.

Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

What are you trying to say? Of course it does. Pretty much every Linux app still supports X11, because a lot of people are still using X11. Only exception I’m aware of is Waydroid.

OS is also identified by user agent, so it’s no less vulnerable to fake agents. In any case, I’d wager the vast majority of users even on Linux use unaltered agents, though this isn’t something that can be backed up one way or another because there are no numbers for fake agents.

Yuzu wasn’t. Suyu was.

B was based on BCPL, which I assume is where the name came from.

But the actual A language would be APL, which stands for A Programming Language. It’s a few years older than B and was pretty popular, so it could’ve influenced the name.

It would probably make more sense for “ADVANCE” to be “ADVANCED”

Yes you can. UI color is in Settings -> Window Color Scheme. Editor color is in Settings -> Editor Color Scheme. Both are editable separately.

If it is a royal we, then you are excluded from the conversation and the amount of Microsoft in your household is irrelevant.
