schestowitz[TR2]"is this RealPhanes guy a bit funny in the head?  He thinks hardcore encryption is a necessity for all users when it's impractical and would make things harder for family or ones inheriting something.  Our main security is we're 10 miles out in countryside where things smell like horseshit and everyone has guns, and like my PC is on second floor behind heavy equipment--and heavy itself--and boots Jan 10 04:40

schestowitz[TR2]                            <blockquote>Jan 10 13:35
schestowitz[TR2]                                <p>The idea behind loss32 is to build an open-source operating system that feels like a classic Windows desktop, but powered by the Linux kernel. To achieve this, instead of GTK or Qt applications, the desktop itself is composed of Win32 programs such as explorer.exe, Paint, and other familiar components, all running through WINE. At the same time, Linux applications remain technically available, butJan 10 13:35
schestowitz[TR2] they are not the primary focus of the environment. </p>Jan 10 13:35
schestowitz[TR2]                                <p> The project positions itself as a conceptual alternative to ReactOS. However, while ReactOS aims to reimplement the Windows NT kernel, loss32 deliberately avoids that approach. Its author argues that kernel reimplementation has been the main limiting factor for ReactOS’s hardware compatibility and long-term stability. </p>Jan 10 13:35

schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p>Brave Browser, which recently reached more than 100 million users worldwide, has rolled out a major overhaul of its built-in adblocking engine, cutting memory consumption by 75 percent and delivering a measurable performance boost across desktop and mobile platforms. The changes are live starting with Brave v1.85, with further optimizations scheduled for v1.86. </p>Jan 10 13:39
