Ethereum Foundation is not Ethereum in the same way how Mozilla Foundation is not Firefox.

Ethereum disclosed the incident in a blog post

Ethereum is a blockchain, it cannot write posts. But well, at least they don’t write it as “Etherium”.

Net-zero in 2030 is a lie. Google, Microsoft, whoever, - doesn’t matter. It’s only five years left. I don’t even think that bigcop can go from increasing carbon emissions to decreasing before 2030.

And to build independent browser not sponsored by google is a soft of an ideological motivation. If only it is not a pure marketing lie. There are no technical reasons for being sponsored by Shopify but not by Google. I would say there is no much of an ideology either.

And other things about the project are also concerning me:

• It uses Qt for UI, while modern browsers can draw UI with their own engines. A redundant dependency which also will harm modularity and embeddablity.
• Modern browsers have complexity of operating systems. It’s just a waste of resources to build an independent browser from scratch, but not to make the engine reusable.

This is a poor choice.

The other things: It’s so independent (from google), but already got sponsorship and changed the landing page to a typical landing of a startup. This independence is populism. Just enough one for feeding their adepts with promises. I won’t be surprised of possible advertisement integrations made “for maintaining independence”.

NGMI.

They live in the C++ age.

Oh, but so many people in the world identify themselves as religious. Why they do not want to see an artificial God?

I wish to live in a world where the media doesn’t consist of articles about how some rich or famous person says or thinks something.

Probably, because of the background image.

I saw something like this among Junji Ito’s manga.

Animal sexual behavior is under-reported in general, I think. Do not forget to report!

Hopefully, never.

Distros are unnecessary entities and don’t improve anything here. What is needed it’s separation of the system and the apps, where apps are provided in sandboxed bundles with permissions. It will solve a lot of issues, not only one you have mentioned. And try to imagine amount of years needed for understanding or explaining importance of this to the GNU/Linux community. A viable desktop OS, huh?

Society will suffer anyway. It doesn’t make solutions magically appear. You only said why you want it, but not how to do it. To transform GNU/Linux distros into a viable desktop OS is not an easy task, especially when people don’t have a consensus about what it should be.

“Desktop” Linux exists in this state for decades. Who cares? Maybe we won’t have consumer desktops as a niche soon. Existing users are fine with that. Don’t say you are waiting that Linux will become “a viable desktop OS alternative” in next few years.

It’s also not about “desktop and sever variants”. Desktop Linux is either conservative or underresourced. Conservatives will told you that you are wrong and there is no issue. And they are major Linux zealots. For the other side someone need to write code and do system design, and there are not many of people for that. So, it’s better not to expect a solution anytime soon, if you are not planning to work on it by yourself.

Linux defaults are optimized for performance and not for desktop usability.

IMO it is a combination of two bad ideas.

Disto packages had issues with unofficial repos like forever.

ChromeOS doesn’t get much attention and resources from Google currently. No major things has happened since Crostini, and the planned separation of the browser from the system hasn’t happened yet. So I don’t expect to see results of these news anytime soon. It’s a matter of a decade.

To be 100 percent sure is a hallucination. Probably he tried to say that he is less than 80 percent sure.
