I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.
Looks like it is! I was under the apparently false impression that it was only partly.

Well, because FOSS apps are usually the best/most user friendly option even if they're not always the most popular. If you woke up after a 30 year coma and had no prior commitments to using any particular software, there would be absolutely zero question that Linux is the best OS today.
An OS is a complicated thing, yet the FOSS option is the safest, most user friendly, and most versatile. I'm just a little surprised there isn't a browser that checks those boxes too, since the browser is a widely used thing. But I'm guessing because Firefox exists the number of devs willing to give the time investment just isn't as many.
I'm not under the impression that a web browser is a simple thing to build but with Linux advancing the way it has in recent years it continues to surprise me that the "best" browser out there isn't FOSS.
Hopefully that is about to change!
+1 for this recommendation. Gnome is going to feel more familiar to a MacOS user and Silverblue is very resilient.
That alt text is just TOO real
Ohhh I totally misread your comment. Whew!

If it's not then it's not living up to the Star Trek name IMO!
Dang the musical episode was a major highlight for me 🤷♂️
Pixel doesn't have eink screen though which is kind of the whole point
I am glad I had the advanced wisdom and intellect to recognize and correct for the error.
The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:
And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.
I have to disagree somewhat, it's a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don't like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.
If they had gone with my plan of 24 seasons of 24 episodes each then there would have been plenty of room for both!
It's an objectively better plan I don't understand why they didn't listen to me
