I tried to get myself a custom "Brave Origin" some time ago, but just like upstream Chromium, some related code are just poorly guarded, it's not really trivial to do it and keep it up with upstream.

No you don't, otherwise we wouldn't have banking apps on it.

New comment by _imnothere in "Volkswagen started blocking GrapheneOS users"

This is one of the most ignorant comment I ever read on Hacker News. Are you from VW?

Obviously VW broke the app for GrapheneOS (or any other custom ROM) on purpose, and ironically, things usually works fine for custom ROMs than some Chinese OEM customized ROMs, and when it works, it means the developer went extra miles to implement workaround to cater the flawed OS.[1]

Is social media bad for children? yes (heck it's even bad for adults)

Did the UK do this for good cause? absolutely not, they're doing this for the same purpose of all that age-verification bs.

A saying being old doesn’t make it invalid anyway. What’s your point?

I can't think of any valid reason for a person with sane mind to do this. Yes, macOS is somewhat closed, but it's definitely more open than ChromeOS.

They sure do earn enough money to afford whatever number that is on your mind.

So many years and they can't(or refuse to?) ship to Asia, ridiculous.

I heard and read negative things about them, do they actually ship?

This is plain stupidity over some SJWs pointless whining, sad to see people being such braindead to support bullshit like this.

It's easy, just by bundling stuff and "luring" users to sync data to their probably-insecure(!) server.

New comment by _imnothere in "Nearly 90% of Windows Games Now Run on Linux"

_imnothere — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 00:44:15 +0000

Dual-boot user here, while this is definitely good to hear, but I think it's even more important that how many players could ditch Windows and switch to Linux for their games.

Suppose I play one of the 10% games that wouldn't work on Linux, I'd still need to keep my Windows installation around, right?

And I wonder when can we stop lying to ourselves pretending "web"-apps are real (native) apps?

Heh, I wonder if it's just like how 4chan anons j?rking off to themselves for the fact that Ofcom sends out pointless fines and sh?t.
