This blog entry makes me feel heard. I've chosen Firefox through Debian, but the browser is one of those problems that may kick me off the web entirely. People complain that Firefox is dependent on Google, but the forks are also dependent on Google, through Firefox. Chromium is dependent on Chrome. Moving to Apple explicitly attaches you to a company that wants to monopolize your purchases.
This is pushing me to deal with the internet only through single-purpose things that are not browsers, which can be even worse. Losing the browser seems similar to losing general-purpose computing (losing general-purpose social computing, maybe?)
edit: will Apple eventually buy Ladybird? Seems like that's what's going to happen.
- lioeters 2y ago> Will Apple eventually buy Ladybird? This is the first time I've heard of the idea. Considering how the project has decided to replace C++ with Swift, a language with strong ties to Apple, it seems like a possible scenario. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1822236888188498031.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1822236888188498031.html
