What do you mean by moist?

They're just poking fun at a typo in your post title

I'm not sure who told you that an installation on a USB thumb drive should boot "almost instantly" - that's a much slower device than a proper HDD or SSD, and it's normal for booting off of those to at least take a bit of time. The slow boot and the slow performance when running are probably both the same thing - slow disk I/O. A fast CPU helps run computations quickly, but installing and launching programs involves a lot of writing and reading files, which doesn't have much to do with CPU speed.

It can be done, but then whoever forks that will need to stay on top of keeping that fork up to date with other changes in the original chromium, and that gets harder and harder to do as time goes on and more changes are made to the same or related parts of the codebase.

Your title mentioned GPT as in the partition table. The other user thought about ChatGPT.

I'm honestly surprised they made 10,000 sales.

I know I'm not the only one but I'll say it anyway:

Beehaw defederated from a lot of other major instances.

They did. That's why Beeper Mini exists.

"Just" fork it. Right.

It's a massive undertaking to maintain a fork of something that large and continue pulling in patches of later developments.

Not to say that Brave doesn't have the resources to do so - I really don't know their scale - but this notion of "just fork" gets thrown around a lot with these kinds of scenarios. It's an idealistic view and the noble goal of open source software, but in practical and pragmatic terms it doesn't always win, because it takes time and effort and resources that may not just be available.

Twitter clone by Facebook. The worst part is they're implementing ActivityPub and will federate with Lemmy and Mastodon instances.
