Closed source (or proprietary software) means computer programs whose source code is not published.

It’s not closed source, since the source is publicly published. It’s source available.

He can’t pretend to save the world if the world isn’t ending.

I said Vivaldi is not open source a 2 comments ago. I said I recommend Firefox and derivatives, including Librewolf, I said Brave may be more secure, but shouldn’t be used for reason that have nothing to do with it. Since you are not reading my comments anyway, I won’t spend the time.

None, because it’s not a real department, and has as much legal meaning as any made up department you and me can think of. But if course if Trump acts as if it’s real and listens to it’s opinions (which have the same legal weight as any private person’s opinions), then it doesn’t matter it’s not real.

I don’t dispute Brave may be private in the current version, but with all the things they did they are not trustworthy, with many write ups online, some going as far as to call it malware. You are of course free to disagree, if you don’t think your browser adding extra tracking to your links is a deal breaker.

I don’t know where you are reading that Vivaldi is closed source. The source code is right here: https://vivaldi.com/source/

It does have fingerprinting protection, it has blocking trackers and ads built-in, and you can enable site isolation and turn off third party cookies if you choose to.

I’ve never heard of Cromite so don’t have an opinion, but Brave is super shady, with crypto-shilling, ad-injecting, adding tracking codes to clicked URLs that didn’t have them, something so privacy ruining you’d be better of using Chrome. They can’t be trusted, and I’m not even getting to the CEO being a questionable figure. Nobody should use it, let alone anyone caring about privacy. People prioritizing privacy should be using Firefox or Vivaldi, both privacy focused browsers.

Vivaldi is not closed source. It’s not open source either (they don’t accept PRs), but the source is available.

I use it for a few years now, it’s very customizable. In my opinion the best Chromium-based browser. I recommend either Vivaldi or Firefox depending on your needs.

A drone is an unmanned vehicle, e.g. SpaceX drone boats serving as mobile landing pads, Ukrainian drone boats carrying explosives, drone research submarines, ground drones for mine defusal, etc.

This is definitely not a drone. It’s a quadcopter.

Apparently I was the only one to read the title that way, but I thought your brothers died (late) in their 40s.

I imagine if such a candidate won, the would forfeit their win by not attending the inauguration and not getting sworn in.

And how does that handle a candidate who is in prison, and how is it different?

Remember, remember, the 5th of November

Yeah, that’s what I said.

That’s 100 free miles a week. Sure, most people will need to charge it anyway, but that’s still 100 free miles a week.

But I don’t think it’s a good idea. It would be more efficient to just put the same solar panels in your roof, where they don’t contribute to the car’s weight, don’t force your to park in sunlight instead of indoor parking or garage, and whose output can be used for charging the car OR for anything else as needed.

No, not nice at all. I’m answering your question on why he doesn’t ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.

You can’t be pardoned from a lawsuit. This is not a criminal case, just Musk getting sued, which you can’t get out of with a pardon.

His lawyers were there, and so the defense party was there. He wasn’t required to be there, contrary to what the post tries to imply.

No, because he wasn’t required to show up. The defense was required to show up, and it did, as Musk’s lawyers were present. The post is just clickbait trying to make you think he was required to show up.

And it’s a lawsuit, not a criminal charge, so no jail time is in the cards, sadly, no matter how hard he loses.

His lawyers showed up, which fulfills “all parties must be present”, as the defense was present.

It’s clickbait, Musk wasn’t required to show up personally.

He was asked what they are working on now that they released Windows 10. He said they are still working on Windows 10 as it’s the last (latest) release of Windows and still being developed. Yes he could have worded it better.
