So do you stop eating high oxilate and high vitamin C food for a year after the MRI? Are there foods or drinks that help flush gadolinium?
This is because of the lack of Widevine CDM, and the majority of people wanting to stream stuff using services like Tidal, Netflix and Spotify.
They will also want to use a single browser for everything, which in practice means Edge, Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
Ladybird will very likely not have access to Widevine, because of the cost, requirements, and Google as gatekeeper. Some developers of small opensource Chromium/Electron based browsers also earlier tried and Google simply said no.
And even if they have reverse engineered the CDM extension (which will make Widevine work, not unlike a small hack/workaround with regard to Chromium and Chromium forks) it will not work because all browsers using Widevine on those two platforms require something called VMP (Verified Media Path) which is, as far as I understand, a certificate and verification library supplied by Widevine embedded within the browser.
Without VMP embedded in the browser streaming from popular commercial providers such as Netflix will not work on Windows and MacOS, even when the Widevine extension is in fact active.
Believe me, I checked.
IMO all of this is not only set in motion to (try to) protect from piracy, but also to kill any serious competition from small parties like LadyBird, and to keep the browser market firmly in the hands of the likes of Microsoft, Apple and Google. Because who will use a browser in 2025 unable to stream content, or without hacks at 720p maximum? (looking at you, Brave and Netflix)
This also means that browsers like Brave, Vivaldi and Firefox are in fact not true opensource browsers because their respective public repositories do not contain the assets needed for VMP signing.
On another note, at this moment the majority of people should be glad that browsers with corporate backing and enough income like Brave (whatever you might think of Brendan Eich's ideas), Vivaldi and Firefox exist because without them you would have no serious choice on Windows or MacOS at all.
If so, why would Google allow this but not for other OSS browsers?
The very first step I believe needs to be taken is to pass strict laws to allow devices to be reflashed with whatever we want. Until we do not have that in place we will always be stucked like this. Once people can truly install from scratch whatever they want then the game should change completely.
So many good working devices go to waste because no longer supported by Google and the hardware manufacturers. They have good cameras, good wifi etc... we should be able to reflash them and install whatever OS we want on them.
It's becoming more and more difficult to install even Lineage on a lot of 6 or 7 year old hardware.
There's a lot of hungry people in the US. I grew up going to elementary school with a lot of kids who didn't eat much at home (free breakfast and lunch at school), and the results aren't pretty.
Once we can reliably feed our poorest as a society, then maybe I'll donate to something else.
On the one hand we have lots of people on here who are building full-featured web apps, not websites, on teams of 30+. These people look at frameworkless options and immediately have a dozen different questions about how your frameworkless design handles a dozen different features that their use case absolutely requires, and the answer is that it doesn't handle those features because it doesn't require them because it's a blog.
Meanwhile there are also a lot of people on here who have never worked on a large-scale web app and wonder why frameworks even exist when it's so obviously easy to build a blog without them.
It would be nice if we could just agree that the web hosts an enormous spectrum of different kinds of software and make it clear what kind of software we're talking about when we were opining about frameworks—whether for or against.
In this case: this is a WordPress blog.
The amount of Canadians that think they have a first amendment right to free speech is growing. The only way to avoid this is going to be actually doing a good job of lowering income equality and lowering living costs (as % of income).
(Take your pick as what counts as the 1st Canadian amendment but it's not free speech [1])

I believe Slack is an electron app so it might be easy to implement.
