The article explains some of the background to chromium which I hadn’t known.

Google’s Chrome is a freeware release with deeper ties to Google’s ecosystem, while Chromium, released at the same time as Chrome in 2008, is open source. Google has slowly loosened its de facto control of the project, particularly since 2020, allowing outside developers into its leadership, softening its stance on non-Google-derived features and opening up its “Goma” development scheme for Chromium, as detailed by CNET in 2020.

I recently started donating to Mozilla. They have been delivering a good product for a very long time, the least I can do is pay for it.

Yeah these are tricky social and technical problems that will be solved one way or another. Corporations can solve it behind closed doors, but I’m glad that governments are also trying to solve it.

If we have the opportunity to criticize the government’s solutions then than means there is transparency, which is more than we would get from many corporations.

Yeah, Wikipedia is such a stable and positive force in the internet and directly reaches so many people. It’s easy to take it for granted but the internet would be so much incredibly worse without it.

I happily donate.

I want any organization that has shown that much commitment to making the world better to be well supported.

After stitcher died I just stopped listening to podcasts for awhile. I recently found Antenna Pod on fdroid and it’s great!

Thank you. That raises new questions. I have heard of Power-over-Ethernet but never water over power.

Does it prevent curious pets from biting the wires?

What’s the wall tube for?

That’s clever and simple.

What do the clothes pins do?

Well fuck.

That’s interesting, thank you. I didn’t know anything about Gujarati, this is a cool opportunity to learn!

Google translated it as “Nine days and seven days are tight”.

Does that sound like a good translation to you?

So when someone changes a light bulb, which direction to turn is just a feeling in their bones?

That’s fair.

Thanks I had no idea what it was.

Well if it doesn’t happen again, that means Linux isn’t doing well.

‘it’ being a handoff of ownership

Motorola still has them

Does anyone else think the thumbnail looks like a llama with laser eyes?

Wow, organic maps is really nice, seems like a much cleaner user interface than OsmAnd, whereas OsmAnd has more options.

Huh, works fine for me for nearly a year now. The only thing I still use google calendar for are some shared calendars.

After proton adds Standard Notes. I’m hoping google maps will be the last product I’m tied to.
