@dazo even if I would buy into your position:
Which browser would be the freedom haven that people form a community around and enjoy the freedom.
Firefox isn't a community project in any serious fashion, nor is chrome.
If you look for that type of dynamic, servo is the best bet we currently have. And it's just not there yet, to be usable as your daily driver.
@dazo Linux got adoption due to its features, not because of politics.
Some people might work on it out of idealism, but wide adoption and financing come from Linux actually being a useful project.
@dazo it's just naive to believe that individual decisions could solve regulation issues.
And asking people to make major sacrifices to their workflows just for political reasons is an incredibly privileged position.
@dazo all true.
But not everyone bases their choice of the browser solely on engine politics.
The feature set of Firefox and Chrome is similarly enough that one could argue for that, but Vivaldi is different.
Any other browser means I would need to give up on my mail client, calendar and so on in my browser. Also I use the sync between desktop and mobile, meaning any browser that's not available for both is out of the picture for me instantly.
If there will be a servo based browser that can do what ever Vivaldi does and that also exists for Android in a usable form, I would be happy to switch.
@hotsoup @dazo look at the browser usage graphs.
Statistically nobody moved to Firefox from Chrome.
People moved from Netscape and Internet Explorer to Firefox. Against Chrome Firefox was mostly on a slow decline for the past decade.
Firefox never had convincing arguments that would have made a significant amount of people switch from chrome.

@EdCates @dazo @graves501 @theorangetheme not everyone has ensuring a balance in html-engines as one of their top priorities when choosing their browser.
Not sure why this is giving you headaches.
Especially in today's world where there only are 2 usable browser engines and both are connected and depending on companies that are not exactly trustworthy.
Firefox and chromium might be open source, but let's be honest, there isn't a community that could maintain them independent from Mozilla and Google.
Would I prefer if there was a Opera 12/Vivaldi like browser with a third engine? Sure! For all the issues it caused for me I loved presto and I hope one day someone builds something of that type around servo.
But also keep in mind: Mozilla killed Gecko as a standalone product, there is a reason why we only have lightly patched Firefox variants and not a single truly different web browser using Gecko nowadays.
@xanathar I love Gothic 2 and still play it occasionally (modded), but honestly I never understood how people still could tolerate the control scheme of Gothic 1
And the third one is pure cheap thrills.
Forza Horizon always follows the same formula. Mindless, well made open world racing in nice landscape. The last part was pretty boring in terms of the actual landscape, but Japan really looks promising!

The second game is the remake of the first Gothic game.
A legend of German videogame design, but now actually with a sensible control scheme and pretty nice looking graphics. Only fear is that it might be buggy as it's by far the most ambitious project for a relatively small studio.

I have always been playing video games, sometimes more, sometimes less but this year there are 3 releases coming up, that I am really looking forward to.
3 different genres, all very different games.
The first is playable as a Demo as part of the Steam Next Fest right now and is called Wanderburg.
A castle on wheels (or legs) rougelike in low poly graphics.
Eat sheep, dodge bullets and cast fire tornados until you can't make out anything on your screen anymore. Very chaotic but very fun.

@zauberlaus @geheimorga Linux für Menschen die nicht zu viel Zeit haben.
@charlotte yeah. I was more confused by having the provision for 22110 in the first place.
@charlotte @whitequark there also is a break-off part holding your SSD depending on which length format you use 🫣
@fluepke ah, ich bin nicht der einzige, der an Attribution ala threadbutt denken musste?
