chromedev··on Safari adopts the Chrome/Firefox extension model
It is still open for discussion within Chromium, and unlike Safari Chromium is open source so it can be forked to implement whatever features you want.
chromedev··on Zoom still don't understand GDPR
Google Meet features seem so much better suited for government and education, especially if using G Suite on top of it. It is like the same price of Zoom but includes a lot of other great features, including unlimited storage using Google Drive.
chromedev··on Palantir S-1
The stock market numbers have been pumped up for years now, and how convenient they are planning on the crash right after elections
chromedev··on Palantir S-1
With all these companies going public it is obvious they are planning for a crash after the election
chromedev··on Low-dose Hydroxychloroquine Therapy and Mortality in Hospitalized Patients
Joe Rogan isn't the best example to base your political opinions. There are also serious safety issues:

chromedev··on Low-dose Hydroxychloroquine Therapy and Mortality in Hospitalized Patients
What makes you think that is the case? You're politicizing it right now.
chromedev··on Jeffrey Epstein’s Harvard connections show how money can distort research
Are you referring to Bill Gates?
chromedev··on JFrog S-1
There is a plugin for Helm to interface with Maven.
chromedev··on JFrog S-1
I mentioned Verdaccio which is for JavaScript. Helm can also do Maven, Harbor, Docker Registry, scalable Linux package management, etc.
chromedev··on JFrog S-1
Those tools aren't built on Kubernetes, just easier to deploy in a production manner using the official Helm charts.
chromedev··on JFrog S-1
With Helm, there is no need for Artifactory. You get Harbor, Verdaccio, etc. It is silly to pay a company 100k+ when all this stuff is easily managed using official or far more powerful tools.
chromedev··on Automotive Grade Linux
Why not Real Time Linux?

chromedev··on Building resilient services at Prime Video with chaos engineering
Just remember anything you purchase on Amazon Prime, you don't technically own it.
chromedev··on PHP Built-In Web Server
> It is still nice for quickly running something and get rid of it. For instance an ad-hoc script mocking an API endpoint that you can run on an arbitrary port in seconds.

That is one of the many things Docker and Docker Compose are good at. If you have a docker-compose.yml file you can do just that with any web server backend.

chromedev··on Apple apologizes to WordPress, won’t force the free app to add purchases
Like what apps? If I need something that depends on Google, there is always this:

chromedev··on Future of DeepSpeech / STT after recent changes at Mozilla
> Killed the semantic web and semantic markup? Check.

Based on what evidence?

> Disabled APIs for blocking ads? Check

They didn't. uBlock Origin and adblocker extensions never stopped working.

> Use Google.com as the default search? Yep.

What do you think Edge does here? Easily changed via policies.

> Auto log into your Google session or nag until users permit it? Absolutely

Doesn't nag you and easily disabled in settings or via policy.

> Trying to destroy the notion of a URL? I thought those were cool.

I only get a little frustrated on Android, but just have to remember to hit the edit icon if I want to change it.

chromedev··on Apple apologizes to WordPress, won’t force the free app to add purchases
I use F-Droid everyday to install and manage apps outside the Play Store and it works out fine for me. Android is also open source. If I don't like the way something is done then I'm free to change it, and there are multiple ROMs that I can choose from as well.
chromedev··on Apple apologizes to WordPress, won’t force the free app to add purchases
So people don't need to be freed from Google then, they need to be freed from Apple.
chromedev··on Searx instances
No, it is a metasearch engine but not a crawler.
chromedev··on Future of DeepSpeech / STT after recent changes at Mozilla
Chromium is open source and you can apply policies to do the things you mention. Based on your logic Mozilla should also be forced to get rid of Firefox Sync.
chromedev··on Apple apologizes to WordPress, won’t force the free app to add purchases
Google allows you to install apps outside the app store and Android is open source
chromedev··on Apple apologizes to WordPress, won’t force the free app to add purchases
Google already allows apps outside the Play Store, and third party app stores as well
chromedev··on Rosatom releases previously classified documentary video of Tsar Bomba nuke test
Yes, but they aren't scared of bombs but instead hidden tapes.
chromedev··on Matrix – An open network for secure, decentralized communication
Based on what was said by Arathorn, it would be easy for anyone to perceive it that way
chromedev··on Show HN: Tiny CLI to save AWS costs in dev environments when you're sleeping
That is what Kind is for.
chromedev··on Matrix – An open network for secure, decentralized communication
That's how I perceived it.
chromedev··on Matrix – An open network for secure, decentralized communication
You called him malicious/dangerous and said he is involved in an ongoing campaign of exploiting security vulnerabilities in Matrix.
chromedev··on Telegram messaging app proves crucial to Belarus protests
Matrix doesn't compare at all and Element is their client to promote their SaaS solution.
chromedev··on WireGuard support in Mikrotik RouterOS v7.1beta2
They provided a greatly improved package manager and package interface. Fedora and most other distros don't even come close in terms of the amount of high quality modern packages available from the official repos and AUR, but Alpine has also been growing substantially.
