5a is EoL so no headphone jack for you. This is a nonstarter for portable devices to me.
It’s always a series of extensions nonstandardized but said to all be under the same umbrella. It would be better if these things called a spade a spade & say Markdown-like or Markdown-inspired instead of giving a false sense of compatibility.
SSB was killed after it sat behind an about:config flag, then their telemetry (that most power users disable) reported folks weren’t using. But what average users would be using a setting they would need to poke around to find. It’s a real shame too since I want to say it was PeppermintOS that was largely built around PWAs.
More appealing? Linux runs basically all server infrastructure where even Microsoft bent the knee for Azure & Windows Subsystem for Linux. If we are talking about Desktop Linux, it will remain popular with those building software for easier/better dev tooling & wanting to better understand the systems their production code is run on. As software becomes more intergral to our lives & knowing how to write/debug it rises, folks will slowly keep trickling in as the have for decades where more & more software is treating Linux (& the web, & since BSDs, et al. are running similar software such as GTK they are also included) as a primary target. The other desktop OSs continue to shoot themselves in the foot injecting ads into the OS or denying system-level access to the machine you own.
A would say a better focus is mobile Linux… as casual users have migrated away from desktop OSs, where Android & iOS’s walls are holding them captive.
We would have that freedom with Android too if those stupid banking apps stopped trying to dictate what you can run on your hardware & Google giving them more features to do so.
Nice. A lot of Linux laptops seem sold locked to the inferior ISO keyboard instead of ANSI.
This isn’t a “myth” they detect both root & custom ROMs so even if you wanted to use an unrooted custom ROM you can’t. Rooting your phone just to skirt around them should be the opposite of what they want as there is some security implications to rooting your phone. And the current solutions are all temporary workarounds til the banking apps find a new way to partner with Google to prevent modifications of any kind.
In my country, at least one bank has shutdown & discontinued their website which is often just the first domino before others start doing it too. My bank is slow to adopt tech, but their site was created to detect IE and Netscape Navigator. I would assume they would kill that website before upgrading it to actually work on the modern web where a fixed CRT isn’t the only screen size.
Conversly a lot of static websites break new tab by incorrectly slapping target="_blank" on anchors. Luckily Lemmy doesn’t mess this up.
Eve, we made Cincinnati-style chilidogs. Homemade chili was great, but store-bought buns weren’t great, and neither were the dogs, but it’s rough to get proper ingredients on a different continent. I may try it again this week but with cornbread (I have extra maize flour around, but no spaghetti).
If true, that would be awesome if a new SteamOS became a Linux on-ramp (Debian base didn’t quite pan out).

Many of these will handle the TLS for you, but that supposes you need a specific service. Then & even now you can still host your own website / services at home without any specialized gear (I do). If IPv6 were more common, it would be even easier.
