this. It's 21st century people, we care about usability...
What simplifies in my life if I'm moving away from any ecosystem that tracks me to the OSS way, do I have to compile my own Chromium over the night? "oh, my Linux segfaulted, let's reinstall the OS"
time. Saving time on these operations is worth more than some X-company sniffing my network traffic. Yes, I care about privacy, I always decline the cookie pop-ups, always ask for GDPR contract before handing over my phone no./email to recruiters et. al. I'm doing my best without breaking usability & affecting time spent on these operations.
Fair enough. If you're fixed on that, we're not trying to change your mind (yet :p).
It's a different business model for browsers, we know, but we do think it will be best for the development of the product in the short-term and the long-term.
Hopefully eventually, you'll reconsider when it looks even more awesome :)
I can't read German, but my recollection is that this built around the time of German unification to serve as a sort of pantheon of great Germans, with statues of great German poets, scientists, leaders, etc in the hope that this would cement a common German identity. Is that right?
I could have sworn one of the Mediterranean fascist leaders did something similar in the 20th century, but i can't find a citation.
According to Wikipedia the unification was in the 1860.
This though was built by Ludwig I. which was shortly before that (1825-1848) and according to the link above in response to the (citation link: "embarrassing") "invasion" by Napoleon, in order to fortify/ensure the "germanic identity" of the people that lived there, so that it would not "washed out" by a influx of french identity, thus also the name Walhalla.
At least that's how I understand the (very short) explanation in the above link.
“It was conceived in 1807 by Crown Prince Ludwig in order to support the gathering momentum for the unification of the many German states. Following his accession to the throne of Bavaria, construction took place between 1830 and 1842 under the supervision of the architect Leo von Klenze”
