A few thousand people paying $5 per year is not enough to replace hundreds of millions.

…people or dollars? ‘Cos i don’t think “hundreds of millions” of people are chippin’ in, it’s Google that’s financing “hundreds of millions” of dollars…

But yeah, that target audience is a bubble, normies don’t care.

used chromium as the page rendering engine.

I believe WebKit is Chromium’s rendering engine, as is Gecko for Firefox.

Opera used to have their own but now they’re just rebranded Chromium.

There was a poll a while back on mastodon and the majority answered they’d be ok with 5$/year to support Firefox.

lynx ftw

From a recent search i made, with similar purpose, these may support x86 and are based on either Debian or Ubuntu: antiX, Q4OS, Slax; Zorin Lite, LXLE.

(I haven’t combed through the results yet so YMMV and there may be cadavers.)

Serial numbers are hardly covert though… but yeah.

Unsung heroes.

Yes MS intentionally implements it inconsistently and yes that’s why i meant whichever format is open.

Missing /s there…

I get the usefulness of technical telemetry such as kernel version, RAM, disk space, processor type, etc… but NIC MAC? HDD serial? WTF?

Focus instead on enforcing standards’ compliance so i can open a .docx with any program and be usable anywhere.

Then focus on enforcing FOSS software in public services but don’t bother with a “european linux distro”, that’s just a waste of resources. There are already a great deal of distros around. Considering geopolitics i’d go with SuSe or some other EU-based distro.

Meanwhile Dave from Accounting has password123 written on a post-it on the monitor.

Whonix or Qubes OS?

Oh, tariffs… i thought they were stating the obvious: christmas.

So does mIRC.

Unless you have a locked-down router and your ISP doesn’t allow bridge-mode.

Gentoo!

XFCE doesn’t support multiple monitors with different refresh rates.

I have an LG TV and an old Asus monitor, i’d wager their refresh rates differ but i can’t confirm atm.

Technically speaking: nothing really, provided you have time and skills.

Except maybe not having access to NDA-ed binary blobs or something…

But the status… /s
