Microsoft was always big on Embrace Extend Extinguish. And nothing really changed.

The best way for all those things would be to not rely on Microsoft in the first place.

So the wall to the south was never about keeping Mexicans out but to keep Americans in? Sounds familiar.

It was kinda rhetorical; I really don’t like to have tencent any say/proposals by them in our kernel.

Isn’t that the company behind TikTok?

The old and the new UI still auto hides controls and the seekbar and timestamp. I hate that it hides those! Besides remember when the seekbar showed where the Ads were in marking those sections in yellow? Good times.

Arch isn’t european though, it’s canadian.
