I was shocked at how minimal the impact was on Garmin, given that their customers are consumers who are trusting them with very personal data.

Ok, great, so now there is one more option that addresses your preference) but it still isn't really innovation. (I don't really follow how your comment related to the issue.)

They might use Fuschia to replace the Linux kernel in Android, but Android would remain the same from an end user or app developer perspective. They aren't just going to turf Android.

This could be good for competition, but it's hard to see it as being about innovation. Same as Microsoft copying Chrome and calling it Edge, users have another browser, now with MS telemetry etc. instead of Google. Good for user choic

But they are not using it in a gendered way, and doesn't that actually help us recover a term that has legitimate uses?

They are now moving to scoring sites based on their speed, but any big change they make to their search algorithm is done very slowly and with tons of advance warning - AMP was something of a quick stop gap. They are a for profit corporatio

You are kinda' making my point in highlighting AMP: one of the most hated Google 'contributions' to the web. Why did they do it? Because news website were heavy, slow, bad experiences compared to Facebook Instant news and A

I don't agree. Remarkable is based in Norway and I have more confidence in a Norwegian companies handling of my data.

Google's investments in the web has been massive. Your whole framing can be flipped on its head be pointing out that Google, unlike Amazon has been willing to make such huge investments in the one public platform we've got. Obvio

As you probably know, other browsers are just shells around Safari - so there has never even been a pretense of competition in iOS browsers.

I would go further and say that none of the addiction is related to psychedelics - AFAIK you can't get addicted to then. As with alcohol etc you can do stupid and dangerous things while on then, and you can have a very unpleasant exper

Great to see a company try to truly innovate in this space! For too long we see too many just copy Chrome, swap in their own telemetry, add some adblocking and then hawk it so aggressively. The one bright light remains Firefox and it is sad

All new extensions are manually vetted now, and there is manifest v3, but there has been a lot of concern about the effect of this on adblockers so progress has been slow.

But for some online content - substack, clubhouse, snapchat - that is there idea. Just sayin that not all online content should be linked in together.

Good questions, and I don't know the answers, but it is kind of odd (particularly given the pace of change in other areas of computer tech) that the world's most popular operating system was designed so long ago, and it seems like

Wow, what a horrible site. Is it available elsewhere?

The Windows and Mac apps are just electron - not much advantage over just using it on the browser which has its own advantages. So, yes, since they are using electron they might as well provide a Linux one too, but I don't see why the

Supporting that theory, I find that Chromebooks can get by with less RAM than their Windows equivalent (even when the Windows machine will only be used for the web, which is pretty common these days in my experience).

Only a couple of years to quit something that blackened your soul? A couple of years is a pretty common amount of time to remain in a job these days. If I sound judgy there, note that you are condemning a lot of people. Not me, actually,

AMP was about keeping news content on the web competitive with Facebook instant articles. When Google was forced to cut a deal with News Corp last month (the Australian debacle) that would bring News content from the open web into their New

It is partisan because Oracle told us so. They have bragged that they ran a decade long well financed effort to make all these actions against Google happen, and what we see now is the culmination of that. I don't doubt they "won&

I'm a big fan of RSS too, and I appreciate what you are doing. Thanks. On the other hand, it sounds like you are staking a position that the web is for docs not apps. Not sure why we are often presented with apps vs. docs - why can&#x

But it's quite possible that the Roku devices won't be capable of supporting those higher resolutions using the older codecs. Not saying that is the case - I don't know, but I don't think you do either.

I think some minor measures - mainly just being more considerate when you think you might have the flu - could make a big difference. Before this year people would still go to work when sick, parents would still let their kids blow out the

The full sentence is about them being able to take advantage of Wayland automatically. It appears to me that you've clipped the quote to change the meaning.

I wonder if the motivation for this is really to give Linux machine learning apps access to the GPU in WSL?

For one thing, I suggest following and disseminating Micheal Geist, who is a prof at u of Ottawa and had a long history as a voice of reason and resistance on such topics, including this specific one. https://g.co/kgs/5
