Why can’t they just fork the last usable version of chromium and go from there as an independent fork? Is it just that no one wants to?

Creating or even just maintaining a web browser is an insurmountable amount of work. With constantly changing and new specs coming out all the time, it's an unwinnable amount of work. Not to mention, browsers and the Internet in general is so complex it's like web browsers are an operating system themselves.

A web browser is likely the most complex software on your PC outside of the operating system itself.

My last two companies have been mostly fully remote, we've done all hands meetings, we've done regular scheduled meetings, and everything in between all remotely. It works well, employees are happier and we produce better work as a result.

Did the students boo him? I hope so.

Hopefully it will break badly enough to move people past their inertia so then there can be a more serious competitor to Chrome, or maybe even multiple competitors to Chrome.

If you think it has no possibility of success, sit back and relax as AI goes away.

Yep. This is exactly it, and this is what people don't seem to understand. AI is not going away, because it is actually useful, it has actual uses and people are actively using it. It's not entirely fluff based pointless technology like blockchain etc, it is actually useful and real-world people use AI/LLMs.

Ooh, then your mouse can stop working when you run out of meters and then you have to buy more to top it up! Excellent.

FWIW, I've found that the -v flag often doesn't say why it's not using your key, just that it isn't using your key and it has fallen back to password authentication.

It's usually not terribly helpful for figuring out why it's not using your key, just that it's not using your key, which you kind of already know if it's prompting you for a password. lol

Denouncing violence is very different than supporting or inciting violence, fwiw.

Ah yes, but you see, the US government only cares about faceless corporations, business owners and other rich people, and not about the average citizen, sorry. In fact, I would argue most governments are like this.

They aren't that unreliable FWIW. Obviously, it should not be your only copy of media, but I have microSD cards that are still readable with data intact even 10, 11, or more years later.

If you buy quality microSD cards, expect them to last a long time.

Yay, another BIOS update!

I am getting so sick of all these BIOS updates because of all these security vulnerabilities all the time. It is so tiring having to set up my settings all over again all of the time. Earlier this year, or maybe it was last year, it felt like every month or two there was a new BIOS update for a new security vulnerability.
