And if it succesful, or at least passenger doesn't boycott them over it, it is just a question of time until other airlines adds it as well

Counting in lines of code is the most stupid metric.

That is still source code, obfuscated but still source code.

It works quite fine, use it daily. Well, XMMS2 to be pedantic.

Just some shellscripts bound to windows-keys to pause/play and load new files.

The question is whether x86 is even relevant anymore

Also RISC-V, though that is probably a few years away at least.

It is still just a "trust us" deal. They say they have deleted it, and all you can do is trust them. They could possibly get into legal troubles if it was shown they were lying, but that could be easily avoided as well.

GDPR is ok, but much of it is based on good actors doing what they should.

...and when they don't pay Discord under the table. Discord wouldn't be unique if this was the case either.

now it is mostly written for web browsers (between which there are no longer any significant differences in terms of standards compatibility).

At this point I think it is just a matter of time until Google (most likely due to their near monopoly with Chrome), will push for some new standard that they own and control and must be used everywhere. For some handwaving combination of security and protect the kids, etc. And google are in a great position to make it happen, don't support it? Oh noes, your site is no longer listed in google searches.

And that will be the end of the open web, you can only use one browser that totally controls what you can and cannot do. Ad blocking is just the start, saving websites or images? Nah. We don't allow that. Copy the url? No, you need to use this share button that has embedded tracking links in it, etc.

I don't know where you are getting those numbers from. Most put chrome in around 78%, edge at 10% and then everything else. And all chrome re-skins are just that, google still controls it. There is a reason one of the biggest software companies in the world just gave up their own browser engine and runs a competitor's with some face paint.

Google are in a far better position to push something like this through than Microsoft ever where, due to their near monopoly on searches. Any site not using it would be more or less dead. Just going from number 1 to 2 on a google search can mean a huge drop in traffic, and then imagine not even being on it at all.

It also means that they can freeze separately

Pretty good summary of Microsoft's "innovations" the last decade or so

The original idea was to take back control of our money from greedy and corrupt banks and politicians. Very very very few people use it as that now though. Most just see it as a get rich quick scheme.

As we are in the privacy sublemmy: All of the privacy issues have already been solved, those that keep saying that it is a log of everyone you ever paid kept forever have no idea what they are talking about. Just simple thing like that you should (almost) never use an address twice removes a lot of the privacy concerns. There are also other ways to obfuscate and stay anonymous.

Just the ads, and you can't turn them off. Ever.

Also bluetooth fucking sucks for lack of a better phrase.

9/10 times it connects fine, but then every now and then it just refuses. "What? No I don't exist" and then you have to either restart bluetooth and/or the device, and then it magically works again.

Also, I quite often get stuttering with it. Not sure if it is my phone or headphones or both at fault, but I would like having an audio jack when I am sitting at the desk

There is a reason clickbait images and titles are used, they work. If they didn't work, no one would use them.
