    Last year I was reading a bit about Mozilla, all that google money, their spendings, their CEO and got really really angry looking on how shit the Firefox is I use daily.

    The reason Firefox still exists is that Google can prove it’s not a Chrome monopoly. Now this is just me forming conspiracy theories, but I do believe that Google would stop these payments the day Firefox would really out-innovate Chrome and get more market share.

    I do believe all that Google money is not keeping Firefox alive, it’s keeping it dead.

    At that moment I rage-donated money to Servo. Monthly. Didn’t regret it, yet. Found their transparency records what they use it for. Up to now they use their money very responsibly.

    I’m not a Playstation fan, I just want to play on the sofa, so I bought it just for that. It was a PS1, PS3, PS4, PS5… ooh wait, in fact I did have nearly all of them

    PS6? No way. For me the PS always was a good offer for couch gaming.

    Unless Sony changes course, a future PS6 looks mighty unattractive, price and usage-wise.

    My next “console” will be something with Steamos or Bazzite or any wine/proton install. Maybe something that I can also use for running LLMs when I work.

    If memory wasn’t so expensive, I’d already have ordered a 128G Strix Halo box (good enough for most games, good enough for a lot of local models)

    Amazing. I did the same on my 2012 macbook air, and a friend’s Asus notebook. My 2019 Lenovo is still going strong, I expect to get 10y of lifetime out of it. Oh, and Lenovo spare parts are dime a dozen. I have rebuilt old Lenovos multiple times in my life, typically by buying a broken donor machine.

    So exactly what is the business case for buying a Framework Notebook?

    (Yes, they are really beautiful, cool and I’d WANT one. But there always was a better option to buy, for one reason - price: used Lenovo, portability: MacBook Air)
