It doesn't have as big of a modding ecosystem as Minecraft, simply because it doesn't have even a fraction of the community, but apart from size, I don't think I would agree on its modding ecosystem being less amazing. Minete

He's referring to including Google Fonts as font-face into your webpage, so that they are downloaded by each client from Google's server.

Yeah, but that's still plenty of webpages.

What he's saying is that this is not "humanity inventing something to make life better". It's a company inventing something to make money. And it's not a simple product like glasses where you pay with money and then

I also still don't understand why they never did anything more useful with it. For example, there's an XPosed module which let's you swipe to the right over the navigation keys to change them out for music controls. If you sw

> What qualifies as "new technology" by your high standards? Well, why don't we start at the standards that Google is advertising with? It's them who are acting like this is the best thing since sliced bread, while it

That wasn't really released last week. It's been in Firefox and default-enabled in Private Browsing for probably a year already. This just enables it in normal browsing as well, and they've only published it via Test Pilot fo

They do, yes. What you've linked is a browser with ad-blocking capabilities, which is treated a bit differently. What they remove are ad-blockers which block ads in other apps. And you can still get them on Android, but not via the Pla

He's saying preinstalled as the default browser. Not installed and set as default after the fact by the user. Let manufacturers freely decide what software they want to bundle.

Right. Do you really need someone to tell you that millions of people use and update Ubuntu regularly without typing in a cryptic 100 character long command or can you figure out yourself that it has to be you who's wrong here?

You're saying that, as if things would be alright, as long as the number of people who have no problem outweigh the number of people who have a problem.

Well, Google, Microsoft and Apple pull in several billion per year... And in 2014, Mozilla had expenses of 212 million for software development, so they definitely do invest most of their budget there. https://static.mozilla.com&

ChromeOS isn't on phones, is it? Ubuntu also doesn't really require terminal usage either way...

Because why should it be? People are willing to pay for it. This is especially also the case, as Google could abuse some sentence in the YouTube API ToS, which prohibits the separation of audio and video, to get rid of third-party YouTube a

I've also found the offline use in Google Maps to be horribly unreliable. I had Google Maps set up with an offline map and, two times in a row, when I wanted to actually use it, the offline map had disappeared from my phone for whateve

I've heard a few times already that Google isn't actually making a revenue off of YouTube and rather just paying to keep it alive. No idea, if that's true, though. There's also the consideration that having a YouTube-acc

I personally use an RSS Reader to handle my "subscriptions". The YouTube-webpage also has an option to export your subscriptions to an OPML-file (which can then be imported into an RSS Reader): Log into your YouTube-account, then

They already have close to world domination. No need to reconsider anything at this point...

Right, but your comment made it sound like they would be experimenting with an Electron-based browser as a replacement for Firefox and that they were using WebKit on iOS voluntarily, which is both not true. You might not have meant it like

I don't think that's a fair thing to say. To me, being able to trust that my distribution is giving me reasonable help by pre-selecting good applications, is a vital help for me using my computer. I don't have the time to go

How does it look bad for you? Or rather to say how does it look worse than Chrome, as both browsers do differ completely from the native toolkit... Well, unless you're using something like QupZilla or Konqueror, but then this blog post

No one ever held a press meeting and officially said that Chromium is supported by Chromecast (Chromium doesn't even officially exist as a product), but you could use Chromium with the Google Cast extension and it worked, anyways. So,

by Sylos 10y ago
Yeah, you could cast with the Google Cast extension over Chromium. And it's generally believed that Google moved the Chromecast-functionality into Chrome and away from an extension to not necessarily lock out Chromium, but rather to lo

Someone already managed to break it. If I understood it correctly by somehow overwriting the ROM. That's not the point, though, as others have already said.

That's simply not true. They collect a ton of data which they wouldn't have to collect, if they wouldn't run advertisements or could even just delete this data much earlier. There's even crap like Android not allowing yo
