Andreas Kling led the development of a brand-new operating system SerenityOS for several years. A month ago he announced making its web browser Ladybird a standalone project and focusing solely on it.

Today they are creating a non-profit Ladybird Browser Initiative funding its development through donations: https://ladybird.org/announcement.html

The @owa campaign worked!

"We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU."

"$41bn per year was spent by OECD countries’ export credit agencies to support coal, oil and gas projects between 2018 and 2020, according to OCI, nearly five times their support for clean energy.
Other than Mozambique, the biggest recipients of support during this time operated in developed countries including Canada, the UAE and Russia.
… #fossilFuel #subsidies in the #EU had “surged” … in 2022 to reach €122bn, after … €56bn the previous year."

Interesting session on technical details of "Chrome as an independent app on #ChromeOS" aka #LaCrOS. Separating #Chrome browser from ChromeOS binary to improve maintainability and security.
Theoretically, it will also allow to run different browsers (Chrome Beta/Dev/Canary or Edge, maybe Firefox) on top of ChromeOS, even alongside each other...

#LG #OLED #TV firmware upgrade release notes:

"...

- user privilege level escalation
- forced firmware downgrade

Glad they are "improving vulnerabilities" even on 5+ years old TVs.
Plus the #ads in the home menu seem to be gone, that's 👍.

And yes, the release notes are in #Czech despite having everything set to English. Because of course people and TVs never move around and everybody in one country speaks the same single language...

One way to #contribute to #Mastodon is by translating it into your language(s).

https://crowdin.com/project/mastodon

Just checked and I've translated 10590 words into the #Czech language. That's 78% out of the current 13631 words.
I hope the #translation helped all the Czech users currently joining the new servers which are popping up and I'm really glad to see @michal , @staticnoisexyz and others now taking over... The release of 4.0 is imminent and I haven't been able to find time to do it myself lately.

I was invited to participate in the beta of the new #ChromeOS admin certification in August to give feedback on the questions etc.

Today it is publicly (re)launching:

So after almost 3 years of being #ChromeOSCertified "ChromeOS IT Administrator" I'm now (also) a "Professional ChromeOS Administrator". 😉

More than 60% of time on a PC worldwide is spent in a #web browser

And that's not even counting all the "native" web applications which are just a web app bundled with its own web browser.

Without any judicial decision. Just because the government and security agencies asked. That's a slippery slope and not the right way to fight #disinformation, sorry.

Former #CloudReady is becoming #ChromeOSFlex. Basically an official #Google desktop #Linux distribution for #PC and #Mac.

As someone using #ChromeOS as a primary operating system for more than a decade, I was really looking forward to this.
I won't be limited by the high-end #Chromebook hardware selection anymore and it will be supported basically as long as the Linux kernel supports it.
