for those who dont know, crostini is a feature available for chromeos that lets you install a debian container and has a cute terminal and lets you install linux software (can be from flathub, github, etc!!! woa!!). i love it so much and use it daily for programming python on my chromebook and crostini is what i mean when i say that google loves open source and linux, they know debian is the greatest and they use gentoo to make chromeos

    Google has been trying to clamp down on people daring to run software they don’t approve on their devices.

    “Google” isn’t. ChromeOS is actually providing more and more flexibility then ever. Android however is the exact opposite. One must keep in mind that google isn’t some monolithic company, it’s very fractured and has many independent teams, the best showcase of this is JXL. 3/4 top contributors to libjxl are google employees, and yet chromium decided to remove JXL support citing bogus reasons generated by obviously flawed testing and analysis.

      Nobody is hosting JXL images because we don’t support JXL so we removed JXL before we launched it since no one was using it. #chromelogic
