Uh, that was in 2024.

Investigation closed in 2025 via the new administration.

Google could offer 8 years support on Chromebooks because they generally ran on a restricted subset of x86 hardware that they enforced on device makers.

Android runs on anything ARM64 but Google leaves it up to device makers to follow a set of "Project Mainline" guidelines.

Two conflicting models...

I can understand that patriotic Americans pledge allegiance to uphold the flag and constitution and all that.

It just isn't in common usage in Australian English.

If any political candidate here "pledged" anything as a mission statement, we'd be very cynical they were any different from the previous generations of dodgy corrupt bastards that represent us in parliament. Talk is cheap.

It's a Linux distro that runs a browser with sandboxes for Android apps and a Debian environment akin to a WSL2-like runtime. They ported the container stuff to Android as AVF.

So essentially they've had 2 teams maintaining two separate Linux distributions under the hood and they're now sunsetting the Chrome OS dev team.

One of my favourite moments of the Reeve films was when 'bad' Clark fixed the leaning tower of Pisa.

Difficult problems require pragmatic solutions. Too much Kryptonite could kill him, smaller doses might regulate his messiah complex.

Ah, the old Orwellian communist trope,

"two wheels good, one wheel better."

No need to 're-invent' a Superman origin story for modern audiences.

The daily Superman comic strip was in publication from 1939 to 1966. Just pick your favourite arc(s) from the back catalogue and hire some decent writers to flesh out a 90 minute script. Bonus points, set it in the timeframe the original comics were in, a noir period drama.

c.f. Batman for me was always the hammy 60s TV show - setting him in contemporary times never cut it for me, an Austin Powers style remake is in order.

Absolutely, you can pry Firefox from my cold dead hands. I have no interest in a Chromium monoculture.

The one to watch is Ladybird, if and when it reaches a 1.0 milestone.

Though I'm still hopeful a reborn Servo will be the browser of choice on Redox OS (Rust all the way down).

Yes, they became extinct due to 'overhunting'... the Maori found them delicious.

Lawn care as a 1960s Jewish folk tradition is explored in the Coen Bro's 2009 satire, A Serious Man.

The protagonist ponders the futility of spending his weekend mowing, an activity whose only saving grace is a widow who likes to promiscuously sunbathe.

As per the summary, Wayland isn't on OpenBSD (yet).

From the release notes, the main obvious Linuxisms seemed to be Pipewire and Polkit, which seem to have been ported to underlying native BSD subsystems.

So I hear they're discontinuing Windows 10. The spec bump obsoleting old CPUs, hardware DRM, signing into a Microsoft account, - every Windows 11 machine is gaming capable when you flood the system with ads for XBox.

58 million consoles vs hundreds of millions of new PC sales. Dedicated console vs buying a wireless controller for the hardware you already own?

"I positively enjoy working with you - when you're not being a dick, but you can be genuinely impossible sometimes."

- Overstreet replying to Linus threatening not to merge any of his future code.

If that's what young people call an apology, no wonder Torvalds is sick of dealing with him. Yet the media will twist this as 'evil Linus'.

Alligators.

Originally mastered by narco-gangs to smuggle illicit substances up and down the estuary delta, zoologists from Amazon have found our new reptilian overlords can also be used as mules for consumer electronics such as smartphones with a IP68 rating. A teething problem was exploding batteries but with a lot of alligators out there complaining about working conditions, absorption of lithium into their bloodstream provided a boost in antidepressant vibes. /s

Meanwhile.
