What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.

• Firefox ✅
• SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
• WhatsApp ❌
• stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
• OpenCamera ✅

3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

It’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.

Again, how do you define “social media”?

I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.

OK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?

I tend to be unsympathetic in general to ideas that anyone (including young people) needs to be “protected” from their own decisions.

So teens who don’t fit in well in the IRL spaces that are available to them should have 0 ways to have social interactions?

If teen me hadn’t had the internet, I would have 0 joyful memories whatsoever of my teen years. Anyone sympathizing with the ideas in the OP is in my mind purely evil and oppressive, I have no other words to describe this.

A gnome obviously

Do we have “circlejerk” or “shitposting” communities here on Lemmy already?

These settings don’t do what you want?

There’s a helpful timeline on the right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_(video_game_series)#Development

Shouldn’t be very hard to figure out from looking at a list of Pokémon games. RGBY = Red, Green, Blue, Yellow; GSC = Gold, Silver, Crystal; RSE = Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald; DPPt = Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, etc. etc.

TIL that you can declare return types this way in C++.

auto main() -> int

What programming language is this even?!

It’s somewhat more comparable to DMCA takedowns I think.

maybe, but there are also things it arguably does better than Linux, e.g. user access control

(If you can still find this story, I’d be very interested in it, please do link to it here.)

yeah I know, far from production-ready though

That is the literal opposite of what the world needs.

Windows isn’t a bad OS from a purely technical perspective. If Windows were released as FOSS, I would switch to Windows without hesitation.

people put things like THAT behind paywalls?

KDE Plasma and it’s configured to have everything in the same places as Windows as much as possible. I have to use Windows for work and gaming and like it when I don’t have to think much about which computer I’m using right now.
