Well LoL has no official Linux support, so a low current number of users is no indication of the size of the potential Linux player base.

It’s basically like a copy of the original repository. But you can pull in and merge changes from the original, make a pull request for the original to pull your changes. Fork+pull request enables you to contribute to someone else’s repository. Things like Chromium are in part forks of Safari, just that they diverged over time.

Buying previous generation products. I got something like a Braun series 5 instead of the newest series 9, as there isn’t that much difference.

Ich bin entzückt, dass ihnen unsere MaiMais zusagen.

Looking at Twitter/X, this won’t be the final nail. People stick to the platforms they’re on as long as it doesn’t directly Negative impacts them too much.

Not only is telemetry easy to disable. In about:telemetry, you can see what’s being send and many of these things are important to improve the user experience, make Firefox faster and also monitor privacy/security problems.

Without telemetry (use counter), how to decide whether a deprecated feature can be removed? Removing them is necessary to decrease maintenance work, be able to innovate and remove features that are less secure.

Maybe they’re greedy, maybe more are using adblockers, maybe companies aren’t willing to spend as much per ad due to the economy, maybe they are profitable but the margin is too low to be worth the effort and risk associated with running a platform. We probably won’t know.

I don’t think filling Google repositories with complaints and well-intentioned, but garbage issues/pull requests. At best they’ll just delete them occasionally and at worst work less in the open, changing permissions on repositories, doing discussions more in internal tools.

What you can do is support alternative browsers, get other people to use them too and notify news as well as your local politicians about such problems. Maybe join organizations on protecting privacy or computer clubs (in Germany, support e.g. Netzpolitik.org and CCC).

Maybe acknowledge what the in-principle good things about WEI would be and support alternative means of achieving them. This proposal uses good things like less reliance on captchas and tracking, a simple to use API to enable a huge potential for abuse and power grab. Alternatives might be a privacy pass, as mentioned by WebKit https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/234

When I was there I found those busses really cool. But to my knowledge, they’re being phased out. They essentially combine the worst of bus and tram:

• relies on special infrastructure and thus cannot go anywhere, is more expensive than bus
• often shares the street with other cars being more vulnerable to traffic, uses tires (leading to fine particles)
