It’s not like getting Ublock Origin from the official website instead of the Chrome Web Store is some kind of a problem.

Ok, well “broken” sounded like, you know, that things don’t work.
They didn’t:
They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.
What’s broken about it? I use Kubuntu and everything is working fine.
Yeah, sounds about right. This isn’t a case of “Google maliciously takes down a Google Maps competitor” like people are saying.
Strategy? You are assuming there was any intent behind it. The reviewers in third world countries are probably spending 30 seconds per app and are bound to make mistakes. Which in this case was reverted.
I’m not saying what’s “the correct play” or not, I’m refuting the claim all Chromium-based browsers are immediately affected, because I know of at least one that will keep V2 support.
But I will keep using Vivaldi. It will take me the same time to migrate to Firefox regardless if I do it today or a year from now when Vivaldi drops V2 support. I have nothing to gain by migrating sooner, but potentially much to gain by waiting.
Vivaldi said they will keep V2 support. Not forever, but as long as they are able.
It really depends on which language you want to use.
No, the black line is EVE Online. There could have been an edit replacing it with Dwarf Fortress, but the original is definitely about EVE Online.
Yeah, but there is no separation between being able to do day to day administrative actions like installing software, and being able to do destructive actions no one should need to do unless in exceptional circumstances.
Yeah, I feel like Linux needs the equivalent of Administrator accounts on Windows. Root is the equivalent of the System account on Windows, something even power users might never encounter, because it’s a level of power you shouldn’t ever need.
We need users to have permission to install software and do other administrative tasks, without having permission to do very destructive actions like uninstalling core system packages. Aunt Flo should be able to install Mahjong from her distros package manager GUI, without needing dangerous root access.
Which is his fault, but also this would never happen on Windows. The power and lack of hand-holding of Linux is a great advantage for power users, but with great power comes great responsibility, and many people don’t need the responsibility.
I’d assume they want to be able to update it and that’s why it needs a store listing.
For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.
Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.
And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.
