Where else should Chromium have synced to? To fedora's sync servers? Why would fedora run those? Your outrage seems a bit misplaced to me. Chromium synching to google's servers is entirely what I expected, and it was always clear

Well this is no accident. The whole of HN has been Signal jerking for weeks now to the point where it is really obscene, with no consideration for the inherent flaws of Signal. If a community of supposedly technological savvy people care so

Another Signal jerking thread, spare me. At this point I am so sick of hearing about Signal that I will also insist people keep using WhatsApp. I'm not moving to something which is basically WhatsApp but this time with someone you can

Title was changed, it was: "How long should we cling to a word's original meaning? (2011)" - clearly containing the word "we", thus implying a "we".

Pretty sure Opera, Vivaldi and Brave does not sync to google servers. The syncing to their servers will still work fine AFAIU.
