No, it is not based on Gnome. It is a full DE environment written in rust.
So the story here is: A Russian asset tells a Russian narrative?

From their documentation
Unlike classic terminals, Warp requires you to sign up and log in to get started with the app.
So, yeah, it might be that people are not very impressed by a terminal that requires a cloud account.
But, if you don't type anything sensitive on to your terminal, like passwords and such, then you should be fine....
Also, it was easier to support X11, since there is no security. You wanted to read other applications key events, no problem. Want to read the screen, without without anyone knowing? No, problem, just read it. With Wayland you must use APIs for stuff, and you are not allowed to do everything.
They explain a bit more about what that means here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave/75
TL;DR They use multiple sources for search results besides their own indexer, the most obvious one is Google. To lessen dependence on one single search provider they have been adding other sources, one of them is now Brave. That is the whole thing.
On Dec 26, Kagi started including search results from Brave search index, after we previously added Mojeek and Yandex earlier in the year. Brave has a public search api and we currently implemented it for about 10% of queries as a first test (same as any other API we use, there is no mutual development or anything of the sorts). This was announced in our Dec 28 public changelog. Approximately a week later on Jan 5 after several posts on social media about ‘Brave partnership’ the situation escalated.]
So, if you do not like to use Google in the first place, I don't really understand why lessening the dependence on google would be a bad thing?
No, what you describe is called "Rent" or "Lease". People who press a "Buy" button and buy something, expect to own it. Words have a meaning, and trying to wiggle around this with fine print should be considered fraudulent.
Saudi Arabia felt Twitter was a problem, so they paid Elon to take it down in a way it wouldn't come back.
I guess this answeres my previous question about the lack of updates to the Intellij Rust plugin.
I'm happy to see that the maintainer listened to the users, so we got the best possible outcome.
The pricing is a bit much, especially compared to other services like Tutanota that actually runs servers and provides a service in addition to developing the applications. $20-$30 for the onetime purchase option would be more sane.
I know I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, but I know that was nowhere close to these prices.
EDIT: Found the Remove Ads option, and that is more reasonable priced.
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ this is a great starting point. Then when you got the basics, and fiddled around a bit, then you can start looking for more specialized books (like Rust Atomics and Locks https://marabos.nl/atomics/ )
