  • You’re right, or at least mostly right. About 5% of Vivaldi’s code is closed. Yes, I understand that people don’t like that, but the point of Vivaldi is to be Opera if it had continued to follow the original vision of what Opera was. If they’re gonna stay on that course and be able to earn a living doing it, then I understand if they feel the need to keep some of it secret. I support open source, but among the vast amount of browsers I’ve tried, Vivaldi was the only one that truly sang to me after Firefox decided to go evil corpo. If people want to get their pitchforks and downvote me to oblivion for that, that’s fine.






  • Not personally a fan of Pewds, but this is a good thing. Dude’s still got 110M subscribers, he can reach an enormous viewer base. Not only that, but he’s got a magical ability to reach younger people in a way that grumpy old farts like me can’t (I’m five years older than him, which makes me a fossil). If Linux has had one problem through all its years on the good, green Earth, it’s marketing. Pewds might be just what it needs for this to finally be the Year of the Linux Desktop.
