Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of ChromeEnglish8·2 months agoIt’s the most popular web browser in the world. Direct access to the browser windows and browsing data of the majority of Internet users would be the point.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A look at Firefox forks [LWN.net]English14·2 months agoAnd the world supports many free and open source OSes, many of which have no present ties to or support by the people or organizations who started the things they were forked from.

Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless MockeryEnglish4·3 months agoThe modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There’s tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.
