Not as scary as a look as the one from the angry burrowing owl you met before.. but up there! Haha

Probably when you installed the second linux you overwrote the boot loader instead of adding a new UEFI entry point.

But I've never had a Mac, so take this with a pinch of salt, and honestly considering things can change based on what, in which order, and how you installed things.. it could be something else.

Unfortunately, in general, people tend to just read, vote, and then forget about it without checking back: that's why I always try to add some source or ways to verify what I post.

And - in this specific case - probably some people just like LTT, I assume.

On the contrary, in my opinion if they are clearly labelled as a joke, they are a great way for people who don't understand them to ask why and, in the process, being a little more informed on what not to do and what it's dangerous.

Especially because there's really no risk of emulation in this case.

That's a signature look of superiority if I ever saw one! Love it!

Linus is an investor in the framework company: Source on the framework forums that links to the video on youtube

spoilerWhy not directly link to the video? Because I don't want to! :P

Currently they have direct shipping for some EU's members (Germany, France, Ireland, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium) Source

And I think the shipment costs are currently already in the price for the laptop Source

But I've not bought one so I don't have direct experience

Could you consider using ISO 8601 style dates (YYYY-MM-DD) ? Or words for the months?

Aside from that: great job!

Probably, but I want to point out that the - arguably - most important, intelligent and charismatic character in all of Star Trek lore is an Irish too.

Spoiler

O'Brien is the only major Star Trek character described as both ethnically Irish and born in Ireland; Colm Meaney, the actor who portrays him, is Irish.

Per chi non lo sapesse, l'app è anche presente su F-Droid, dove è sempre gratuita: link

Il codice sorgente dovrebbe esser su codeberg (link) per chi volesse compilarla da solo o avere maggiori informazioni.

Credo non vi siano differenze fra le due versioni, eccetto il fatto che per partecipare alle Beta bisogna avere la versione Google Play. Ma potrei sbagliare.

EDIT: Al momento di questo post la versione F-Droid sembra esser indietro qualche patch (2.13.0 invece di 2.13.3), che è abbastanza tipico per la piattaforma. Changelog

Because, as pointed in the page, Servo is being developed as a(n embeddable) Rendering Engine, not as a full blown end user Browser.
Its alternatives are not Chrome, Safari or Firefox, but Webkit, Blink and Gecko

There's an example GUI called Servoshell, but it is more of a testing ground and example on how to embed the engine in an app than a serious alternative to anything currently in the market.

Already this kind of work is difficult and daunting. Adding to it a full GUI would make it completely impossible for the current size and financial backing Servo has.

Big words aside it just means that Servo wants to be only one of the parts that compose a real browser: the one that takes HTML, Javascript, WASM and translates them into the things you see on your monitor. All the user facing functionality are left to the devs of the app that embed it.
