Is Framework actually "good" for the industry?

Framework as in the laptop company, just for clarity. https://frame.work/. For those unaware, the idea is that these are laptops built with a high degree of modularity so that you can replace far more than a single stick of SODIMM with the goal of even upgrading your CPU and mainboard a few years down the line....

The whole post is so dumb (especially this one) I cringed while reading it.

He's talking about a feature, admits its good, and then says most people won't use it much. How is other people using a feature a considering when buying a product?

driveway OP ,

RFP probably ensures you give out a predetermined set of fonts as installed.

Give me some of that closed source browser goodness, yes. Vivaldi and Chrome are the same thing from a privacy perspective precisely because you cannot verify that they're not.

driveway ,

You wiuldn't believe the amount of people who don't use adblockers even now.

driveway ,

Although you could take into account what the makers are telling you.

Google claims Chrome is private too.

all over the news, Vivaldi has not

Becauae not many gives a fuck about Vivaldi enough to reverse engineer it

not like I can validate the Firefox source either

You don't have to. Thousand of people who know what they're doing does.

just trusting the website I download it from, or more likely my distro packaging

This is a separate security, not privacy, issue resolved by trust chain model of distro packaging.

Why would you target a browser with 5% market share instead 65? How do you even manage to make an application that's performing vastly different on different UIs but the same engine? Sounds like you need to go looking for real engineers to build your thing.

driveway ,

Putting Brave and Vivaldi in the same bucket is just Mozilla shilling.

driveway ,

that works better for me.
sure, I could not care less what browsers others use.

Trusting a company to do right by you (for unknown reasons) vs. trusting thousands of independent researchers who have no incentive to wrong you. Though pick, I guess.

driveway ,

Vivaldi doesn't have to use v3, Brave won't. If Vivaldi does upgrade to v3, that should tell you something.

driveway ,

It's not even something to love. It should in the definition of a mobile OS/phone. It would be weird to say "I love that Android can output display".

driveway ,

Huh, old.reddit.com is so much worse tham reddit.com

driveway ,

Billion dollar business idea: ISP but its not run by scum.

    What's the point of using a proxy on top of a VPN?

    driveway OP ,

    Interesting. It's weird that a kernel level program can upgrade UEFI. We run a lot of closed source kernel level stuff already. Do you have any links for further reading?

    driveway OP ,

    Ah yes, the trouble of installing a game on my already existing dual boot system. Primary indication of addiction.

    driveway OP ,

    Lol

    driveway OP ,

    I know about ring 0, I just assumed UEFI would be off the disk and inaccessible to any software.

    driveway ,

    I use Voyager. It's pretty good.

    There is no politics involved in whether or not genocide is okay.
