apparently google has been putting their software in everything including the kitchen sink since 1798??
read for yourself if you don’t believe me - source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
the source is a little known but nifty website that desperately needs funding so if you go there you should give them like a dollar or whatever your local equivalent is, like one peso or a bitcoin or what have you

you think that’s bad? wait until you find out all the places where electron has been installed … :P
Jesus, the bar for humour is low these days…
The bar is low on what? Beer, spirits, olives to put in martinis?
Or is it just the moral that is low and would benefit from more humour?
I want Firefox instead of Chromium in my steel!
At least there’s no rust crap in there.
Dont worry, rust is way more common
This is what happens when we use Electron in everything ffs
chromium is a conductive metal, thus it conducts electrons
Resistent to rust.
makedepends=('python' 'gn' 'ninja' 'clang' 'lld' 'gperf' 'nodejs' 'pipewire' 'rust' 'rust-bindgen' 'qt6-base' 'java-runtime-headless' 'git' 'compiler-rt')If Chromium is so resistant to Rust, then why is it a build dependency?

Must be cheaper 406 stainless.
The proportions used in the alloy don’t matter. Rust is a build dependency of Chromium, which only makes sense if Chromium itself contains Rust, however little it may be. Thus, whenever an amount of Chromium is added to a substance or application, a small amount of Rust will also be added.
When Rust is introduced to software, it tends to grow in size and often in proportion too, compared to the rest of the codebase. For example, in the Case of Chromium, the amount varies depending on the age of the Chromium used. In samples of young, and even fairly mature Chromiums, no Rust is present, but resent samples show an ever-increasing amount, though I’m not sure how the Rust was initially introduced to the project.
Depending on the piece of software in question, it may start completely Rust-free, like Chromium and Linux, or it may be composed of almost pure Rust, like Servo and Redox OS. 100% pure Rust is, as of now, mostly theoretical, though tiny projects requiring manual invocation of
rustchave been observed. This is due to the small amount of configuration for a build system, for example, TOML, in the case of Cargo. This allows Rust to be developed easily & ergonomically, even in large amounts. Though recent efforts in Cargo script have sought to alleviate these problems and enable true, pure Rust to develop.In short, like life, software naturally evolves into the form of a crab. This process is called carcinisation.

lmao
LOL!
Well, at least the chromium link properly links to the article about the chemical element, not to Google’s web browser…
@over_clox @varden because the browser is called chrome and chromium is the upstream not well know project
How is chromium “not well known”? It’s a pretty well known fact that most popular browsers (except for safari and Firefox) use chromium
I dare you knock on your neighbor’s door and ask them what chromium is. If they come back to you within the week and answer “a browser”, you give them a cookie.
What if they reject all cookies?
Are they European?
Is it true that unless they’re European, it’s legal to shove cookies down their throat, even if the cookies you’re force-feeding are malicious or 3rd-party?
On a different note, do you happen know a good cookie blocker? A *cough* friend is trying to diet.
Instructions unclear, I ate the cookies
Can I choose the neighbor?
Among techy people.
Among ordinary users, I don’t think so.
I can make sure your bitcoin gets sent to them. Trust me, I’m also an American and we can’t lie.
Gotta have a smart knife to watch cooking videos on
We have been played for absolute fools 😔
In UI jargon, “chrome” means the non-content UI that frames what you actually care about, by analogy to the decorative chrome trim on old cars: shiny, attention-grabbing “window dressing” around the “real” thing. Mozilla documentation from 1999 talks about “window chrome” as the browser’s UI framing.
Google named their browser “Chrome” as an ironic nod to minimizing UI chrome. So the name literally comes from the use of the metal chromium on cars.
It’s so big knife can enshitify the knife market with unnecessary AI integration.
This isn’t what I meant when I told Samsung to cut it out with putting WiFi in everything.
Browser? No.
What you tried to say was a spying malware disguised as eeb browser that spread the way every other viruses do.
Chromium is the open source base without the google spyware on top, kinda like AOSP vs. “Stock Android”. Still sucks that Google has so much control over it, but it’s a solid web browser.
Ohh true. I made a hasty comment. Yet because of Google, I never got to like any single chromium based browser.
It was like hundreds of computers I cleaned from Chrome which installed itself through bootstrapped or sideloaded in other applications’ installers and setting itself automagically as default.
Well. It wasn’t automatical, but used human lazyness or non-awareness that made them rigorously spam the ok button.
Was it 2008, or 2009 or something like that.
Even now when people ask some Chrome related problem, I reject them and give the only solution, uninstall.
