What do you want me to do, Microsoft? Install Linux twice?
Ad injection will continue till public morale improves
I prefer the VS Code approach. The entire codebase is open but owned by Microsoft. But because of the MIT licence, the community has made VSCodium. Microsoft does not interfere with VSCodium (AFAIK). This I think is a good model.
Thanks for the explanation!
They can take their own parts (they didn’t sign an exclusive release of their code).
From this I understand that their attitude is "you can look at our entire code but don't try making something out of it. But you are welcome to help us :)"
Linus pays me $100 a month for spamming Linux. You also get payed, right?
This is a person who has been isekai'ed into work
without actually giving back any code to the commons
Can you explain how this works?
Say a contributer downloads v1.1 of floorp, checks the code and makes a PR. Floop sees this and accepts the change and publishes v1.2. If a new contributer downloads floorp, they get v1.2 where they can see the previous merged PR.
How is it that they are not giving back? I can understand that not being on a repository makes it difficult but it's technically possible.
TAs can earn money?

Whenever I face an issue in our company portal and I ask the IT team, their response is "Can you please try on Google Chrome?"
🤦🏽🤦🏽
You can fork it, fix it, do whatever you want with the code, but on the main chromium repo they rarely accept PRs from random contributors
This needs to be discussed more by the community.
I can kind of understand what's happening. They want to have complete control over what goes in an out of Chromium. Some PM is probably overseeing the PRs, and if some PR hinders their ability to collect data, that PR gets rejected. Mighty fine project this is. Other forks probably don't have the resources to go through all the commits issued by Google and just accept them as it is. They just makes the changes to suit their own agenda. All the more reason for people to switch to Firefox
I wonder how Ungoogled Chromium is affected by all this.
