I cannot speak for other countries but here in Germany childhood ends at 14 years old with a transitional phase of a “youth minor” (cannot think of a better word, sorry) until the age of 18.

That said, this is a completely different thing from advocating that “parents should marry off their children at a fairly early age” which Putin does. That is treating minors as tradable property which is truly despicable.

Or they keep the prices up because consumers got used to them.

A few weeks ago journalists said that complete systems will not be affected short term because OEMs order RAM and SSDs a year in advance.

So what is it?

I’m not defending Microsoft but to say that Stardock is sketchy has no base in reality.

Costs money but works with only minor quirks when switching between iGPU and dGPU.

Less diversity isn’t good

Less proprietary crap is good. Free software is always preferable to fake diversity through proprietary Microsoft products.

What about WebKit? That makes 3 browser engines although it’s primarily used on Apple devices.

WebKit-GTK is fine, Ladybird and Servo also exist.

The vehement defense of a shitty, proprietary Microsoft browser here is astonishing.

I mean the choice between only two browser engines isn’t what I would call “free” though, especially since Firefox is also pulling more and more bullshit.

Gecko and Chromium are both fully free software. Old Edge isn’t.

He made a good overall point.

No. It was a very weak defense of proprietary software.

Just saying he is wrong doesn’t actually make him wrong.

Just saying that doesn’t make it wrong but the “argument” is wrong.

Doing so reduced the amount of diversity in rendering engines

It killed the last proprietary engine. It made the web more free.

That’s a loss for the Web as a whole.

You’re wrong.

OCR and making this an accessible text post would have been easier.

Moving from a shitty proprietary web renderer to participate in Chromium development was an improvement.

What’s a phone bo?

More importantly: Why is there aa jizz stain at the o?

Thoughts and prayers.

Oh no

And the US are a base of Iran ally Russia.

even ahead of Max Verstappen when driving identical car parts

Too bad you destroyed your car then.

They left Red Bull because they didn’t want to fund a works engine program. Then their actions forced Red Bull to set up RBPT and because Honda wasn’t interested in shared development, they went away and took Stoll’s money instead.

Honda wanted full control over the design and development of the engine so a deal was not reached.

And how was my comment unfair to Honda when they were the ones who declined the RB deal?

That was basically a branding deal after the idiots at Honda acted only as fully paid contractor. That’s why the 2022 engine was called Red Bull RBPTH001 and the only reference to Honda is the H in the model number.
