  • It’s not so much that they’re blocking it, as it is that they’re not implementing it. In GNOME, as I understand it, the Emoji picker is implemented by the toolkit (GTK). That means that apps that don’t (fully) use that toolkit, such as Chrome and Firefox, will need to add the implementation themselves. That is now done for Firefox.






  • What would it mean for you to call it yourself? This change is just so that if you press Ctrl+. in Firefox, the native emoji picker shows up, so at least in that sense you’re invoking it yourself? (Before this change, Ctrl+. would do nothing in Firefox, even though it would show the emoji picker in normal GTK applications.)

    I downvote every comment that’s accusing something of being AI. Either it’s true, in which case the comment doesn’t change anything, or it’s false, in which case it’s hurtful. The upside is not worth the downside.

    I want it to become a norm that accusing something of being AI is considered rude.



  • Well, if this happens:

    The plan is however to open source when Orion is self-sufficient (business model of Orion is you are the customer and can pay for it - like we used to pay for browsers 20 years ago before advertisers started paying for our browsing), meaning it can sustain its own development independent of Kagi Search.

    I guess the main question is: will they open source it if they feel the need to cancel it? Either way, given that it doesn’t seem to have any particularly distinguishing features yet, that there are plenty of quality open source browsers, I’ll wait until they’ve reached that point.











  • Wat Odido niet goed heeft gedaan, is data langer bewaren dan nodig. (En ook langer dan ze in de voorwaarden aangeven.)

    Tegelijkertijd: je ziet wel dat dit soort gebeurtenissen soms leidt tot een soort institutioneel trauma, waardoor ze in de toekomst misschien juist voorzichtiger met je data omgaan. Zie ook: de medewerker die bang is ontslagen te worden nadat ie net per ongeluk z’n baas €1 miljoen heeft gekost door een foutje te maken. Zijn baas: “Je ontslaan? Nadat ik net €1 miljoen heb geïnvesteerd in je ontwikkeling?”

    Ik ben helaas sceptisch dat de concurrenten van Odido het op dit vlak beter doen.

    (Of nou ja, freedom.nl, van voormalige XS4All-mensen, vertrouw ik wel.)
