Microsoft is using Discord and not Teams?

So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a fork of Chromium?

Hard to believe it’s real, hopefully Motorola is committed to the long term.

It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I’m admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.

It’s Chromium based, doesn’t that mean uBlock isn’t going to work as well?

Oh I see thank you for the explanation. I missed that the university network was called a VPN.

I’m pretty sure “Block” is derived from “Blockchain”

This may sound dumb, but wouldn’t it appear to anyone listening between the client and VPN as though all traffic is coming from the VPN and not the website? Isn’t that the point of a VPN?

The highly abridged version is that Red Hat pays for and helps with developing Fedora and makes their money from providing support to companies that use it.

If they stopped supporting Fedora (would kind of kill their business model but let’s pretend) anyone could “fork” it and continue working on their own version just like other distros.

I think 404 Media publishes on Ghost which uses activitypub.

They pretty much just remove you from all those different people finder websites. Not the data brokers that Meta (etc) sell to/from.

It’s still beneficial if you can afford it, but more likely to protect you from targeted scams or stalkers etc. than anything Big Tech.

They were called that for most of their history until Jack Dorsey wanted to change the name to hype some crypto.

Yes, Square is a product that Block sells. Block was actually called “Square” until relatively recently and Jack Dorsey became obsessed with Blockchain.

Immutability just means the system files can’t be edited easily. Basically every time you update you’re updating the entire OS all at once. Which is a good way to keep things stable while also modern!

Unless there’s an application not available via Appimage or Flatpak (“app store”), most users will never even come up against the immutability aspect.

They own Square which is a card processing service typically used by small vendors. If you’ve ever gone to a festival or concert merch table or farmers market and they accepted credit card, it was probably Square.

That’s only a small part, they own Square.

They own Square which you’ve almost certainly used if you ever paid a small vendor via a payment card (as opposed to cash).

idk ask Nancy Rademaker

Are you kidding? It’s excellent as an everyday desktop! It is basically Fedora Kinoite with a bunch of quality of life stuff for gaming.

Very cool!
