…and independently maintained by one developer for the entire world…
This makes me uneasy. Hats off to them and best of luck to their endeavours, but I would still rather choose Void simply due to the fact that there’s a team behind the project as opposed to one individual. Something happens to them and then what?
More Chromium. Yay.
Actually, there’s still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.
What this basically is is signees asking Google to fix the problem that Google itself caused. I hope for other people’s sake that this goes through, but since we’re talking about Google, I am all but convinced that Google will pull something like this again in the future.
Well, for this meme specifically, because it’s a waste of water and electricity to “create” a meme that already exists.
You’re right, it doesn’t mean that. But they do all suck.
Thanks for this. The message is really disheartening to read. But points #2 and #3 in particular just piss me off. Just shitty moves all around and of course AI is somehow involved in this. We can’t ever have nice things, man.
Ugh, a dagger in my heart. That sucks, I really like Myrient. Anyone know what their Discord and/or Telegram channels have to say about this? I don’t have an account for either (nor do I want one).
Much obliged for the link. Personally, I can’t stand the guy. Not only does he lean into sensationalism too much for my liking, but at least one of his videos - the one with Waymo - is just flat out advertising.
I can’t get over just how wonderful it is to have AI in our lives.
I do have issues with YouTube, but downtime isn’t one of them.
Thanks for explaining. But unless I’m missing something, Conduit doesn’t seem to be quite dead just yet. I got upgrade notifications throughout 2025, the latest two being in December; one for v0.10.10 and the other for v0.10.11.
Wait a sec, I run Conduit on my test machine and seems fine so far. What drama did I miss?
Why not Synapse?
It’s not just you, I agree. People should switch to Linux because they like it, not because they were told Microsoft sucks.
Maybe. I’m leaning more towards the typical “letting developer toxicity run rampant” situation:
Yeah, the whole situation with OGC and Bazzite is rather messy. From my understanding, you have conflicting accounts from two parties: one is from Bazzite and OGC, i.e. Kyle Gospodnetich and the other from Antheas Kapenekakis, the developer of the Handheld Daemon, a tool for configuring handheld devices that Bazzite uses (for now). Antheas’ account can be read here.
From what I understand, there was an internal conflict between Antheas and another Bazzite developer (not Kyle), which caused a rift in the team. At the time Antheas was the one in talks with GPD to port HHD to one of their devices. The team was not aware of this and during this time, Antheas was removed from the team. Then, not being aware of the situation at Bazzite, GDP announced the collab and the Bazzite team, was of course unaware of the talks between Antheas and GDP, which is why they denied the whole thing.
Personally, I’m going to stop updating Bazzite for a while and see how this shakes out, because if Antheas’ account is to be believed, the other Bazzite developer mentioned above, Derek J. Clark, is ripping stuff out of Bazzite, including HHD in favor of his own implementation Inputplumber, which is allegedly already causing weird stuff to happen like wifi no longer working on some devices.
On the other hand, I’m hesitant to believe everything Antheas said in his blog, because I simply don’t know the guy and also, there’s also some sketchy stuff in there like mentioning Derek’s Inputplumber implementation being “fundamentally flawed” and not even attempting to explain why. If you’re going to label someone’s work as such, then I feel at least a cursory explanation why is in order. The other is “apologising on behalf of Kyle” and apologising in someone else’s name never sat well with me.
Allow me to ease your pain, friend.
And we should listen to this snake oil salesman why?
