Glad to be grandfathered in, but now it's time to take a serious look at alternatives. Do people still like FreeNAS? I currently rely on the use of mixed drive sizes (5x 4TB + 2x16TB) so it would be really annoying to switch to a RAID5 solution, but I should probably have enough time to let these smaller drives die/be replaced before switching.

It is better to switch to Firefox. But chromium forks can generally do whatever they want, it's just a matter of maintenance burden. e.g. nothing is stopping a Chromium fork like Brave from running a manifest v2 compatible appstore, but it'll cost money to make, maintain, and operate, plus you have less discoverability as an app developer when using a smaller app store.

No, it's not, because it's irrevocable

The previous code exists under an irrevocable open source license, so they are entitled to it. Also, fuck off.

Decentralized SSO on the other hand has the potential to be both convenient and privacy respecting.

There's a floaty window that appears (on the other monitor in a random place for me) which is minimized when Teams is. Not very nice.

Just go write your own Android then?

They’re not taken for granted, they are compensated by the corporations I’m purchasing the device from.

You're taking for granted the requirements that need to be met in order for the device you're purchasing to be technically and commercially viable. It needs to work, it needs to be safe, it needs to comply with privacy regulations and so on.

Again, these problems have already been solved on desktop for decades. They’re not breaking new ground here.

Managing complexity with containerization and sandboxing is occurring on desktops too. It's more mainstream in the mobile ecosystem because of essential differences in the ways users interact with phones versus desktops.

The people who build the device and software ecosystem you take for granted.

All of that interest is from people making computers,

like the people who make phones for other people to use
