apparently google has been putting their software in everything including the kitchen sink since 1798??
read for yourself if you don’t believe me - source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
the source is a little known but nifty website that desperately needs funding so if you go there you should give them like a dollar or whatever your local equivalent is, like one peso or a bitcoin or what have you

Unrelated, but anyone else think it’s really weird that we just casually accept our food utensils containing chromium? Like, I know it’s an alloy and not just free chromium, but would we accept a lead alloy spoon? Probably not, especially with most food being acidic. Honestly I’m just waiting for the paper that says we’ve been slowly poisoning ourselves with stainless steel every time we eat.
Chromium is only dangerous (in reasonable quantities) when its Hexavalent (meaning it has 6 missing electrons). Trivalent chromium (3 missing electrons) is actually essential in trace amounts. Stainless steel has trivalent chromium. Exposure to high temperatures (welding, plasma cutting, maybe grinding) can oxidize it from trivalent to hexavalent but your kitchen utensils aren’t going to be exposed to that. I’m not an expert though to be clear.
Well did you die?
Also an alloy can be sth completely different
Browser? No.
What you tried to say was a spying malware disguised as eeb browser that spread the way every other viruses do.
Chromium is the open source base without the google spyware on top, kinda like AOSP vs. “Stock Android”. Still sucks that Google has so much control over it, but it’s a solid web browser.

In UI jargon, “chrome” means the non-content UI that frames what you actually care about, by analogy to the decorative chrome trim on old cars: shiny, attention-grabbing “window dressing” around the “real” thing. Mozilla documentation from 1999 talks about “window chrome” as the browser’s UI framing.
Google named their browser “Chrome” as an ironic nod to minimizing UI chrome. So the name literally comes from the use of the metal chromium on cars.
It’s so big knife can enshitify the knife market with unnecessary AI integration.
This isn’t what I meant when I told Samsung to cut it out with putting WiFi in everything.
This is what happens when we use Electron in everything ffs
chromium is a conductive metal, thus it conducts electrons
Resistent to rust.
makedepends=('python' 'gn' 'ninja' 'clang' 'lld' 'gperf' 'nodejs' 'pipewire' 'rust' 'rust-bindgen' 'qt6-base' 'java-runtime-headless' 'git' 'compiler-rt')If Chromium is so resistant to Rust, then why is it a build dependency?

Must be cheaper 406 stainless.
The proportions used in the alloy don’t matter. Rust is a build dependency of Chromium, which only makes sense if Chromium itself contains Rust, however little it may be. Thus, whenever an amount of Chromium is added to a substance or application, a small amount of Rust will also be added.
When Rust is introduced to software, it tends to grow in size and often in proportion too, compared to the rest of the codebase. For example, in the Case of Chromium, the amount varies depending on the age of the Chromium used. In samples of young, and even fairly mature Chromiums, no Rust is present, but resent samples show an ever-increasing amount, though I’m not sure how the Rust was initially introduced to the project.
Depending on the piece of software in question, it may start completely Rust-free, like Chromium and Linux, or it may be composed of almost pure Rust, like Servo and Redox OS. 100% pure Rust is, as of now, mostly theoretical, though tiny projects requiring manual invocation of
rustchave been observed. This is due to the small amount of configuration for a build system, for example, TOML, in the case of Cargo. This allows Rust to be developed easily & ergonomically, even in large amounts. Though recent efforts in Cargo script have sought to alleviate these problems and enable true, pure Rust to develop.In short, like life, software naturally evolves into the form of a crab. This process is called carcinisation.
LOL!
Well, at least the chromium link properly links to the article about the chemical element, not to Google’s web browser…
@over_clox @varden because the browser is called chrome and chromium is the upstream not well know project
How is chromium “not well known”? It’s a pretty well known fact that most popular browsers (except for safari and Firefox) use chromium
Among techy people.
Among ordinary users, I don’t think so.
I dare you knock on your neighbor’s door and ask them what chromium is. If they come back to you within the week and answer “a browser”, you give them a cookie.
Can I choose the neighbor?
What if they reject all cookies?
Are they European?
Is it true that unless they’re European, it’s legal to shove cookies down their throat, even if the cookies you’re force-feeding are malicious or 3rd-party?
On a different note, do you happen know a good cookie blocker? A *cough* friend is trying to diet.
Instructions unclear, I ate the cookies
I can make sure your bitcoin gets sent to them. Trust me, I’m also an American and we can’t lie.
Gotta have a smart knife to watch cooking videos on
We have been played for absolute fools 😔
