I’ve been on Firefox since manifest v3 was announced. Firefox has its own shortcomings but no dealbreakers.

Similar situation. Arduino made microcontrollers accessible to the masses like raspberry made low cost computing accessible.
You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.
I want a dumb phone that acts as a hotspot for my tablet and other devices.
Yeah, people are just going to keep using it, they just won’t get updates. That means they will be vulnerable to any exploits that come along afterward but most people don’t care. M$ shot everyone in the foot when they decided to limit windows 11 compatibility.
When windows 7 came out I knew people who stuck with windows xp until they bought a new computer with 10 or 11 on it. The market will get a slight bump from EoL but it isn’t going to force everyone with windows 10 to run out and buy a new computer immediately.
Profits now are all that matter. The future is a problem for after dividends and bonuses get paid out.
That is a niche. its a large niche, but its still a niche.
But it is a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios. Most scenarios. The only time it isn’t is in niche specialty situations.
I have Pinta, it’s ok but lacks a lot of the plugins I used and hasn’t been too stable. The graphics editing thing is something that will,just take time for me to rework my workflows. Gimp is great, I’m just not used to it.
I’m also looking forward to when game companies try to add kernel level anti cheat to Linux/s
I watched a video on methods for detecting AI generation in images. One of the methods was comparing the noise on different color channels. Cameras have different noise in different channels while AI doesn’t. There is also stuff like JPG compression artifacts in other image formats.
So there are technical solutions to it but I wouldn’t know how to automate them.
