One of them is definitely a Swede. Esbjörn doesn't get his cut of the $6 million.

In this thread lots of uninformed people misunderstanding how the open source Chromium project works (or the difference between Chrome and Chromium). Vivaldi is a Chromium-based browser who frequently disable the parts of Chromium they don't agree with.

This argument not to use anything Chromium is the same as if someone was fanatically opposed to using Linux Mint or Elementary OS because they're based on Ubuntu, and Canonical bad.

I love Firefox as much as the next person, and probably do a 75% Vivaldi 25% Firefox split, but let's not act like Google isn't bankrolling Mozilla, because they account for 85+% of Mozilla's revenue, and if Google does implement this Web DRM and if it is widely adopted, Mozilla either submits and enables it to make sure daddy Google stays happy, or they die.

That's a completely unrelated issue with Logitech. Firefox is "blocked" because it doesn't support WebUSB (nor does Safari). I understand this web DRM is bad tech and we want to be morally outraged, but spreading misinformation makes the Lemmy crowd look less like activists/enthusiasts and more like chicken little.

Hey, fellow Vivaldi user👋 . Yep, one of the Vivaldi devs already said if it was added upstream, they'd strip it out of the Chromium code, but they acknowledge that this would cause problems if WEI became standard. Websites would start to expect it, and not having that functionality would be a death-sentence for any browser (Chromium or otherwise).

We had a bus driver who'd drive away if he had already closed the doors, regardless of if he could see you running for the bus or if other students would tell him someone was coming.

Smug little prick used to whistle like a fucking 1950s Disney character while he did it, too.

I have been to Kyoto maybe 6 or 7 times, but it wasn't until the most recent that I went to the Imperial Palace. Very disappointed, cause it's such a beautiful place and I missed out on it for years thinking it'd be boring.
