Ad injection will continue till public morale improves
I prefer the VS Code approach. The entire codebase is open but owned by Microsoft. But because of the MIT licence, the community has made VSCodium. Microsoft does not interfere with VSCodium (AFAIK). This I think is a good model.
Linus pays me $100 a month for spamming Linux. You also get payed, right?

Whenever I face an issue in our company portal and I ask the IT team, their response is “Can you please try on Google Chrome?”
🤦🏽🤦🏽
You can fork it, fix it, do whatever you want with the code, but on the main chromium repo they rarely accept PRs from random contributors
This needs to be discussed more by the community.
I can kind of understand what’s happening. They want to have complete control over what goes in an out of Chromium. Some PM is probably overseeing the PRs, and if some PR hinders their ability to collect data, that PR gets rejected. Mighty fine project this is. Other forks probably don’t have the resources to go through all the commits issued by Google and just accept them as it is. They just makes the changes to suit their own agenda. All the more reason for people to switch to Firefox
I wonder how Ungoogled Chromium is affected by all this.
We need a dedicated Green Light with Dev guidelines for Android games. Or at least a separate store section for them. I really don’t want to get flooded by low-effort mobile games.
The code doesn’t do anything on non-Google domains.
A Google engineer adds a piece of code, does not document what exactly it does, and it was approved without question. Something is seriously wrong with this or I don’t know how the Chromium project works.
True. We can also not run code at all and be perfectly safe.
I wish there was a comparison. Number of 0days in open source and 0days in closed source for comparible projects and a measure for time to mitigate the 0days.
I am no expert on code-auditing. But I’m slightly at peace that there are 100s of experts looking at the code because it’s open-source. But i also understand mistakes can still happen. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s the best solution so far.
Remember this thumb rule -> if it’s not open-source, you are allowing the software to do whatever it wants to do.
No regulation, law, support group is going to help you. You are digging your own grave.
While I welcome Android games on Steam, a part of me is repulsed by how Android game devs treat their customers; in-game ads, horrendous amount of mtx, p2w. Not saying that Steam games don’t suffer mtx but it’s way lesser.
Anyway, let’s see how it goes.
Not a priority for Microsoft anymore.

The primary issues that I faced with Windows (Win10 nearly a decade ago) are
If I had never used Linux, these wouldn’t even seem like problem; just normal Windows shenanigans. But after using Linux, I can never go back. I don’t know how much worse/better Win11 is now but can’t be bothered to try.
