  • CEOs are weird. DDG might be a privacy champion but it is still a for profit company. Meaning Weinberg wants to make bucks too. If Chrome is worth $50bn what does that make ddg worth? If Google get slapped with an anti-trust and forced to break up, who might benefit from the big bucks that might be floating around? And ever noticed how CEOs tend to fail up? Fluffing google is a nice advert for the next head of google search here.

    Show me monetisation strategies, and hence value per user for the installed base if you want to claim that kinda figures imo

  • And if you start fucking with them then they will all go to Google's new browser. Just like the old one. Not all, but you get the picture. Chrome isn't worth $50bn to anyone but Google

  • Given the core of the product is open source (see chromium) I find it really hard to believe that the brand is worth that. Google could sell it for an amount and release Android Internet and it will do almost exactly the same thing. And users I suspect won't care. Google needs broken up for sure, but the browser brand makes little sense to me being separate

  • Great read. Hard to see how people could fall for these myself but some must or they wouldn't still be operating. I'm more surprised they aren't asking for bitcoin

  • Jerboa, very Reddit is Fun like, on f-droid too!

  • That isn't it's primary reason for existence, and it is essentially a volunteer driven org. And so if no-one was going to adopt the package, we have to wait for the maintainer to find some time. https://archlinux.org/packages/?packager=freswa - here's some of the 167 packages maintained by the last toucher of the Redis package

    Thank you Frederik!

  • To get back on topic: I bet you pull your phone out at the urinal

  • Old habits die hard. But the most teenager comment I have seen on lemmy needed a rebuttal

  • Sure, loads of sewage. But it also had smaller settlements, less people, and human waste was recycled more in times gone by too. Far more water was far more drinkable even 150 years ago

  • Lol, we definitely have had clean drinking water for far longer than we have had dirty drinking water, thank the industrial revolution for that. And try skipping a shower for a day - you'll be fine. Soap also has a long history https://www.soaphistory.net/soap-history/ over 4000 years

    So literally wrong on all three points. Perhaps you need to read more instead of doom scrolling and swapping nudes on your smartphone

  • Meanwhile, in the real world...

  • Except of course that http has a myriad of response codes that are more useful than a 200 with an error body. This was a serious mistake of GraphQL imo

  • Would watch the hell out of that

  • WSL2 with VSCode is really common. Windows Terminal is actually good. I use Ubuntu at work, and run Docker community edition and Vim. Firefox in the windows instance. Biggest issue is always the corporate firewall, good luck!

  • I'm gonna come out in favour of this, despite the comments. One last outing, why not? A guest star spot I think is overdue for any remaining TOSers in SNW. Even if it isn't the greatest episode, I can't see any harm, and Shatner reprising the role would drive engagement pretty high (meaning more episodes!)

  • Only getting rid of them next year I'm pretty sure. And initial problems of reliability but not these days. With phenomenal thermal efficiency from tiny engines

  • I've got a bell, spring, and pull handle. It's genuinely amazing

  • Because SystemD

  • I prefer jerboa

  • And is there even 1 statue of me on Bajor?
