if you say apple allows only one language, it may be true. you don't have alternatives. but you can change platforms. there is no alternative to the web and within the web there are no alternative languages. for embedded, you have opti

opera had a different business model. I don't think they had millions upon miliona that Mozilla gets from Google for antitrust reasons. opera had to earn their money. this aside, Mozilla just now implemented tab grouping. does that mea

if you ever come into a position that you could try or would like to try gnome, I would encourage you to do it. maybe you could eliminate that bad opinion of Wayland (or confirm it)... yes gnome has a vision of how the desktop should look l

isn't HN more like professional news/discussion place? is it considered social media?

Most users have no idea what is behind. They don't want X or anything X related, they want things to work. Most of the things worked before 2020, including legacy things through xwayland. Now all things work, except maybe remote apps t

What features? Voice control? If it is about chat, do we actually need Firefox adapted when you can go to gemini.google.com or some other one and write what you want there? Optionality is ensured since you actively have to go there.

If it was ordered by Microsoft and paid by Microsoft to be developed, fine. But, wouldn't it make more sense for amd to go into risc-v at this point of time?
