I don't understand what you mean. They entered a contractual agreement that prevented them from applying tracking protections to microsoft properties in some situations. How is that not picking favorites?

So many words to minimize what happened, makes the conclusion of "I understand why people are upset with us on this" seem a little insincere. To me, this is really simple. You entered a contract that allowed a company to circumven

doesn't matter, IMO. Playing favorites is a bad look for a privacy focused company, and it lowers trust in your products across the board.

yeah, I've kind of felt since DDG first showed up, it's weird that people just take it at face value. IMO, privacy first === open source, everything else is smoke and mirrors.

I think that's letting them off easy. Even if you don't care about their browser, their conduct in regards to the browser is a canary for their potential conduct regarding search and other products in the future. I think people ar

I got so fed up with phpmyadmin, I wrote my own version of this kind of thing. It's not one file though, and only satisfies my specific use cases (although it can browse/search tables, create, edit and delete databases, tables and

I never really understood the crypto stuff. BAT isn't mined on the computers of people who use brave, right? so why is it even a cryptocurrency at all, couldn't they just essentially use a non-coin solution? aka a bunch of integer

i've had an ubuntu employee fix a kernel bug that rendered my machine unbootable on newer kernels. it was a newer thinkpad so there were quite a few affected users, it'd probably be lesser priority with more obscure hardware. Stil

linux phones can't be ready soon enough

by asddubs 4y ago
I never fully understood that. Kernel drivers have to be open source, right? Maybe not mainlined, but the source should be available. So what prevents someone from taking that and then getting it into a shape to be upstreamable? Why exactly

sure, if "this guy" does "git add '*'" and neither reviews the commit, nor even does git status to see a file list of it and just pushes it straight to remote. if that's happening i think your repo might h

gitea seems pretty promising. of course there isn't one canonical instance that is "official", which puts it in a bit of a different category (but maybe that's also a good thing for its continuing openness)

I got one, and I love it! But it's not really a phone at that point

my dream would be a small linux phone (probably a couple years down the line once the software is a bit more stable), but I would settle for a small android phone as a primary device, to stay a bit more realistic in terms of market share. w

I bought a pinephone and I've been kind of thinking about the economics of it lately. It's a niche product, you're never going to sell a lot of units, but the customer base is kind of a sweet ride. technical people who will f
