nah, that one can die in fire.
Session Messenger is far too tightly linked to crypto because the app runs on blockchain‑based network. Also the node operators are rewarded with their cryptocurrency.
Put another way, the network is powered by a crypto‑based incentive system in the background. We need less crypto not more things pumping it up. This was clearly some crypto bro fantasy that has not worked out.

And while checking how long it had been I used timeanddate.com and saw this 😭
Well, at least they do not call them "partners" I guess. 🤷

Ok, they have slowed down the rate they gain partners it seems. They only have 934. So it took them 9 months and 4 days to add 64 more partners.

It is a representation of time. When that was posted it was 59.3% of the way through the day at 0° Longitude (a.k.a. the IERS Reference Meridian).

I have been using Kagi for a long time on a personal level, so we are familiar with them and have spoken with them in the past but thus far have nor come to an agreement. Maybe one day. 🤷

Vivaldi snapshot users, who use Google or Bing for search. Have anyone seen the following prompt on startup in the last couple of snapshot snapshots?

Ok, I woke up again and had a look on our forums, where it seems this was being discussed and at least one user has now confirmed that this is working for them after my change.
I was pretty certain this was fixed but as I did this late at night and made local changes to my setup that could influence the outcome it was helpful to hear from someone else to confirm it is now working.

So I just discovered that proprietary media (H.264, AAC, etc.) was not working with the Snap version of @npub19rt…adh9 on Linux—I mean .snap packages, not Snapshots.
I found this out as I attempted to use the Snap version to play a video and it failed. I am on vacation at the moment and not really monitoring our forums or bug tracker right now. I addition I do not usually use the Snap at home personally, so this was just by chance. 😱
On investigating, it seems that on 2024-12-17T13:39:10.926512+00:00 (last Tuesday) the "chromium-ffmpeg" snap package that we use to provide support for proprietary media was updated by Canonical and version 115541 (which we were still using) was removed entirely.
Since I can update things myself and most of my colleagues are likely asleep I have now switched the Vivaldi 7.0 Snap to use "chromium-ffmpeg-118887" (which Canonical offer now) and released this live as of 2024-12-23T00:03:01.156148+00:00. That seems to have resolved it for me. If anyone is using the Snap version of Vivaldi, could you also confirm (after a Snap refresh and a restart of the browser) that it works for you also.
There is a test video (with sound) here for you to check against:

Ok, the test build completed and I updated the main repo
https://github.com/flathub/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi
I would guess Flathub itself will update within another 3 hours or less.

2024-12-12 16:53:49 CET

For you Vivaldi users using Flathub who are wondering where the 7.0.3495.26 update is. I made the changes on a branch 3 hours back but I cannot make things live without a test build created by Flathub and there is quite a backlog on Flathub's buildbot instance right now. It looks like there was a massive rebuild of KDE packages.
So again, the lack of update is not a reflection on how much I care about Flatpak, it is just delays inherent in the system used to roll out.

LOL, it has been 6 days since I started this thread and I clicked on another of these links. Now it is 870 partners. They are gaining new partners at almost 1 new one per day. 😂

I only share my economy with one person and my highest level of trust is with that same person. It's my wife. She is the one person in this world I would give the label "partner".
Apparently I am holding myself back. I need to go out and find another 800+ people or companies that I trust at this level. 😆

In the real world still, if a person says to you, "This is my partner", that basically means something like, "If you trust me, you can trust them" and/or "this person can speak on my behalf because they know me really well".
But online "partner" apparently now just means "a collection of companies whose names I could not even recount without looking them up in a database or spreadsheet I have somewhere".

What is a "partner" these days?
Historically, when I heard the word "partner" I would think of a person's close confident. Someone who knows you well and could potentially represent you to the outside world in your absence. That could be a boyfriend, girlfriend, the person you married, etc. In the business world, perhaps someone you trusted enough to start a company with, tying your economy to their own financial well being in some sense. In all cases a person you implicitly trust.
Given the level of trust a partner historically implied, how many simultaneous partners are realistic? I would think a very low number.
Are these 865 "partners" like that? Or when they write this do they actually mean, these are 865 companies with whom we are sharing all the data we can collect on you, for a tiny financial kickback or other minor benefit to run our website.
I feel like they should be forced to write,
"We and the 865 companies we are selling you out to…"
Don't lie and call them "partners" to make it sound like the person using your website should trust all these companies. Companies who you likely know very little about and have not vetted. Your "partners"… really? Fuck you!

Before someone says, "What about flatpak?"
I have personally been maintaining a flatpak for Vivaldi for quite some time.
https://flathub.org/apps/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi
The actual reason why is not yet official is that there are still some outstanding discussions about how secure the interprocess sandboxing of Chromium is when run underneath flatpak.
https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium/issues/337#issuecomment-2308800825
TL;DR Both sandboxes (Chromium and Flatpak) are designed to work via "namespaces" but that does not work so well hen nested. Thus it is not agreed how well Chromium processes (and hence websites) are seperate from each other, even if the browser is nicely seperated from other apps.
To be clear, that is not an issue on snap because its sandboxing uses different technologies and it is not a problem for Firefox on flatpak (because again their sandboxing works differently).
So out of caution (for now) the Vivaldi flatpak remains and unofficial, experiment. This is also probably why you do not find officially supported Edge, Opera, etc. on flathub but you do in the snapcraft store… despite the fact that in my personal opinion flatpak has the momentum.
Anyway, I just want to make clear. This is not some statement that Vivaldi loves snap and hates flatpak. If that were true I would not have been encouraged to look into flatpak packaging first. 😉

2024-09-19 14:14:07 CEST

So we have a snap package now for Vivaldi
https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-embraces-snap/

2024-08-30 13:16:07 CEST

While there is not yet any official Vivaldi Browser flatpak, we are looking at it and that is why I maintain one on flathub as an experiment.
We (by we I mean Vivaldi now) did make changes for 6.9 so that we could remove the zypak dependency, hence you will now see this if you look at the sandbox page
