Do you do that for Android?

It's likely just a codename for now.

Just think about how few Android devices have an open bootloader right now, there's no reason to think it'd be any different on larger hardware.

On the flip side, every Chromebook and Chromebox has a unlockable and open-spurce coreboot bootloader.

I love their mechanism where one opens the device and removes a screw to unlock it. Very novel and honestly kind of fun.

A big part of it is chipmakers deprecating S3 sleep in favour of Modern Standby.

More like FOSS religion, because those get the capabilities via NDAs or binary drivers.

Surely it's IP religion that keeps this information locked away.

IP religion supports the housing and family, FOSS one unfortunately mostly not, hence the usual licensing changes news every other week.

> Unfortunately it seems supporting Linux natively is pretty quickly moving target

With the container-based approach of the Steam Linux Runtime this should no longer be a problem. Games can just target a particular version and Steam will be able to run it forevermore.

And this is due to Valve's big investments in Proton, Steam Deck and the new Steam hardware to get game compatibility working from both the Linux/Wine side as well as making game developers aim for compatibility.

One part of it. The other (and arguably bigger in some way) part are drivers (Nvidia, amd, Intel) that improved a great deal over the years.

Kind of helps that most AI work happens on Linux too. ;)

They've been supporting KDE as well for years now.

The anti-cheat creators other than Valve aren't bothered to invest into making a Linux kernel anti-cheat, and most Linux users would be unwilling to allow one to be installed either.

> the pervasive myth that conservative voices are somehow being censored or silenced, despite lots of evidence that conservative rage-bait gets disproprotionately more distribution on recommendation algorithms

It can be true that both conservative content gets more widely shared AND that they're still being censored.

There were countless high-profile conservatives banned from pre-Musk Twitter, YouTube and other social media. Likewise there's clear and obvious cases of conservative content being silenced like Donald Trump's interview on Joe Rogan kept off the YouTube trending page as the most recent example.

But these are specific cases, you claim there's lots of evidence that conservatives on the whole get more distribution. I'm not sure I believe that without seeing your purported evidence, but even if studies proved that were the case it doesn't negate the fact that simultaneously there's a large amount of conservatives being censored on top of that, preventing their distribution from going even further.

>likewise there's clear and obvious cases of conservative content being silenced like Donald Trump's interview on Joe Rogan kept off the YouTube trending page as the most recent example.

This is news to me. I learned about both the Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan interviews from my Youtube front page.

For several days it wasn't viewable to many people, even if you specifically searched for it[1], YouTube later addressed the outrage and resolved this[2].

Or just don't fork Chromium at all and Google can make the upstream their recommended browser.

A huge amount of their products require browser access, having a good UX to access them off in their best interest.
