Not in my knowledge. It would be hard to have the same amount of funding as they have now from Google.

If only we could pay for Firefox so they could get rid of that Google funding…

The housing market is a bit broken: either expensive private housing or affordable publicly managed one, but very hard to get. People often cannot relocate. Big debt. Security, with addicted errands in some districts.
Soon we will lack letters for funding rounds!
Same. Maybe it's the open source ecosystem that forced him to be overly self confident, to fly above the cognitive noise.

Basically an alternative to Google sheet with JS macros in it. Gsheet is no good for us because we have data protection requirements.

Re:Iron as an inexpensive storage medium for hydrogen on Saturday August 31, 2024 @04:30AM (#41407360)

[OP] Oops, error in copy paste, sorry for that.
For private medical communication, one should not use Google services. Those are just incompatible.

I'd say the same for communication in general, if possible, but using Android without Google is difficult for the average user.

Raspotify uses librespot and should keep working https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify
One thread for JS main loop, one for the DOM, others for network requests… Browsers on regular web pages are already quite multithreaded.
