Fair enough. Yeah, I never thought of open and closed source as two exclusive options, but two of many.

I myself publish an application which isn’t open source, but I publish the source code, as I believe my users have the right to know what runs on their computer, and have the freedom to audit, modify, and compile their own builds if they so wish. But I don’t want someone to take and resell my application. I have yet to encounter someone calling my app closed source, but I can see how someone could.

I am not aware of any definition of closed source published by OSI.

Closed source (or proprietary software) means computer programs whose source code is not published.

It’s not closed source, since the source is publicly published. It’s source available.

I said Vivaldi is not open source a 2 comments ago. I said I recommend Firefox and derivatives, including Librewolf, I said Brave may be more secure, but shouldn’t be used for reason that have nothing to do with it. Since you are not reading my comments anyway, I won’t spend the time.

I don’t dispute Brave may be private in the current version, but with all the things they did they are not trustworthy, with many write ups online, some going as far as to call it malware. You are of course free to disagree, if you don’t think your browser adding extra tracking to your links is a deal breaker.

I don’t know where you are reading that Vivaldi is closed source. The source code is right here: https://vivaldi.com/source/

It does have fingerprinting protection, it has blocking trackers and ads built-in, and you can enable site isolation and turn off third party cookies if you choose to.

I’ve never heard of Cromite so don’t have an opinion, but Brave is super shady, with crypto-shilling, ad-injecting, adding tracking codes to clicked URLs that didn’t have them, something so privacy ruining you’d be better of using Chrome. They can’t be trusted, and I’m not even getting to the CEO being a questionable figure. Nobody should use it, let alone anyone caring about privacy. People prioritizing privacy should be using Firefox or Vivaldi, both privacy focused browsers.

Vivaldi is not closed source. It’s not open source either (they don’t accept PRs), but the source is available.

I use it for a few years now, it’s very customizable. In my opinion the best Chromium-based browser. I recommend either Vivaldi or Firefox depending on your needs.

There are many things I didn’t like about the character drama in the beginning, but I loved the second season, where the Stargate feel was back. It’s a shame it didn’t continue.

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.

Why is it insane? Is it surprising that people make joke offers? Joke offers exist on any online auction site.

The sellers are players. Of course people are going to troll by creating such offers. Doesn’t mean anything.

I agree, but that has nothing to do with the release cadence.

All in all, the film makers had many things they could choose to make the effect look plausible, but they didn’t.

You could make an argument that there was some kind of huge spinning gyroscope reaction wheel system on that axis which projected the explosion that way.

But we all know there wasn’t.

@RemindMe @RemindMe@programming.dev 15 years, tell this guy he’s wrong

It was fine in Mr Robot.

So you are advocating for slowing down the work on Android, or for keeping the pace the same but witholding the updates for longer before a release? Or something else?

Wikipedia has rules that a topic has to have some level of relevance to be added. While a major video game character can have enough relevance, an article for a random piece of scenery or for a “rusty dagger” item from some game would never be allowed.

Game wikis also often have unique features, for example for showing item stats or have a look and feel that fits the game.

His major product is SpaceX. His major customer is the government for the launches and contracts he sells, and his major detriment is government regulation of these launches.

Being on the good side of the government benefits both.

There is no translation, it’s just a hard to pronounce Polish surname.
