Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead?

Probably. The point is that google can't have any direct control of the browser as there's a conflict of interest between google's ad and other business and how web is developing. Take manifest v3 for example. Blocking content blockers directly benefits google's ad-business. Also removing support for third party cookies etc benefits google's ad-business while hampering others.

Default Tumbleweed one: Linux 6.14.4-1-default

Just checked. At least the windows installer on their website is for v138. And their rpm repo is at 138 as well. I'm using an unofficial build due to it not being available in Tumbleweed repos and that version is at 137.

The feature is in FF 138 and LibreWolf is at 137.

I would quit youtube immediately but there are some good content creators that don't post their videos elsewhere and I do want to watch them. Gladly there's FreeTube for that.

Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.

One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.

The correct way for Finnish is: Osta eurooppalaista. Though if you want to say "you should buy European" (that's how I'd interpret the original intent) then you'd say: Ostathan eurooppalaista. The first one is more of a demand then a recommendation.

at least existing features and data remain free.

For now.

Quite true. Linux and all modules loaded into it are GPL licensed. The userland and tooling on the other hand can be licensed however. They are free to close source on anything except kernel code.

This is the first step in moving to fully closed source. I guess degooled versions are getting too popular thus a threat to google's business.

The file system was not unmounted cleanly so the dirty bit is 1 -> windows tells you to check the drive. This clears the dirty bit even if nothing was wrong.
