That's their public core argument.
Their real argument (to shareholders etc) is that they want that 30% rake on everything you buy, so they want you to have 900 apps on your phone instead of a web browser than visits 900 websites.
"AI behavior guardrails" is a weird way to spell "AI censorship"
Cops can absolutely do that. Cops posing as prostitutes can arrest you for attempting to purchase sex from them as well.
There's only Safari on iOS. EVERY browser on iOS is just a skin on top of Safari's WebKit.

Link appears to just lead to the Manjaro home page. Is there something new / exciting that HN needs to know?
There are many file explorer apps ( MiXplorer is my favorite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.... ) on Google Play that have optional root access as well. You can use it w/o root, but if you have root it prompts for elevation and then lets you use it.
We're one killer global war / pandemic / etc away from extinction
Being on multiple planets (and eventually multiple solar systems) prevents a species from going extinct if something catastrophic happens to their home world
No company should give up it's user data without a fight
It's not even clear that who they were looking for had broken any laws
In case anyone was wondering how, it's pretty straight forward:
Hamburger Menu > Settings
Privacy & Security tab on the left
Scroll down to the Firefox Data Collection and Use section (2nd section from bottom)
Uncheck all of the boxes in this section
it's not syncing between devices
Signal is cooler
Clearly you haven't tried using Signal on multiple devices. It's terrible currently. Telegram / WhatsApp / etc work great on multiple devices.
NPR was, quite-literally created by an act of the United States congress.
It receives DIRECT funding from the United States government.
Twitter was generous in changing the label from "State-affiliated" media (given that it was literally created by the US Government) to "Government-funded media".
There is no possible argument against the "Government-funded media" label that makes sense. They're government funded. NPR's parent company, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is also government funded. Neither of these funding points are debatable (aka Full stop).
Firefox has no path, literally none, in getting a significant marketing share.
Wait until Chrome bans Manifest V2 extensions (like ublock origin). That will be a good time for Firefox to shine.
In the default lists, under privacy, just subscribe to "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" and it'll do the same thing for you
If you left iMessage on when you upgraded from iOS to an Android device, everyone who had an iPhone would still be attempting to send you iMessages and you'd never get them on your Android phone.
Apple isn't actually doing anything for privacy, they just say they are. Testing proves otherwise time and time again https://gizmodo.com/apple-iphone-analytics-privacy-4th-lawsu...
lol imagine being a "journalist" in the current year and writing "Rather than match iOS's tracking limits, Google built an additional tracking system." as if you think iOS tracking does anything close to what it says it's going to do ( ex https://gizmodo.com/apple-iphone-analytics-privacy-4th-lawsu... ).
This is a hit peace written by an iZealot who doesn't even address Apple's system shortcomings.
.NET developers look on .NET Framework with disdain now. Good luck hiring if you're still on Framework.
lol, you can't tell iPhone zealots that their antiquated mocks are out of date. They're still using the same old stuff because they can't handle the fact that iPhone hasn't added a new feature that wasn't present on Android first in 5+ years.
You don't. It's widely discredited for comparing platforms. They also cherry picked JUST single core performance here (which has 0 bearing in any real life usage scenario).
Don't take it from me, take it from Linus Torvalds (you know, the guy who created Linux) - https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=136526&curpost...
Do they really hate labor or do they hate lazy millennial labor?
I'm sure this will be downloaded to hell, but you have to ask yourself that.
I guess by "in bed" here you mean "they're already buying office 365 to get legit Word, Excel, Outlook licenses"?
Is it as politically biased as ChatGPT?
Wow, their pricing is super high. I can't imagine who the target demographic for this is when google maps / etc are free.
https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64 can do it a little lighter than a full qemu VM
Whenever you consider going self-host, consider what REDUNDANCY and DOWNTIME are worth to you.
Sure you can use an old computer and host at home much cheaper than AWS / Azure / etc. But on AWS / Azure / etc if the physical machine your VM is running on dies, your VM moves to another physical box within seconds without you having to do anything, within seconds, and without data loss. What is that WORTH to you?
That said, you can get a Synology NAS (easy) or build your own NAS (harder) and run Nextcloud in Docker. In the event of hardware failure (it will happen, it's just a matter of when), you'd just have to bring that Docker container + backing storage back up on the replacement gear.
They're intentionally making Safari a bad experience so that you have to use apps for everything. Apps where they can rake 30% on your purchases, of course.
Chrome and Safari have nothing like Firefox containers. I can't imagine switching to Chrome or Safari.
BitWarden - The least shitty password manager!
I've talked with several of my friends about this. EVERYONE was universally willing to pay Netflix their monthly sub when all the studios just sold their content to Netflix.
NO ONE has subscribed to all of Disney+, Apple+, Paramount+, Peacock, etc. in the new everyone-built-their-own-netflix era.
They're all either making do with less content or sailing the high seas mateys yo ho. In many cases they've even DROPPED Netflix.
I don't see how the current over a dozen streaming media provider status quo stands for much longer. Some (many?) are going to have to fail before everyone gets pissed off and goes elsewhere for their entertainment.
This is why HN post subject of just the project name are confusing. Is there something new here we should be excited about in the project?
