sudo apt install chromium (or chromium-browser in the past)

Chromium has been pre-packaged for ARM in Ubuntu for more than a decade now. Did they throw it away with Snaps?

m.youtube.com works fine in both Epiphany and Firefox on my Librem 5 with PureOS.

Turns out you’re right. I just uninstalled the CDM and YouTube indeed works! I’m still absolutely, positively sure that m.youtube.com started gating it for me last August without a doubt. [0]

Maybe they pulled some temporary A/B experiment on me? I’ll probably never know. Thanks for the correction.

It's just about their branded closed build, not even about V8 JIT which was there already.

Bring the mobile UI there and it will be a news. Chromium has worked on ARM64 Linux since forever.

Since the inception of Raspberry Pi at least?

Longer than that. Raspberry Pi isn't that old, it only launched in 2012.

And first arm64 device was released in 2013

Ha, touche! But it worked on ARM long before that :)

It looked old when it was fresh already.

When it comes to iPhones, iPhone 4 and iOS 7 were the first ones that looked modern and pleasant (don't confuse aesthetics with UX though).


Most of those Stallmanesque nicknames feel kinda childish, but this one is so spot on that it always takes a moment for me to realize that it's not how it was originally named when I see it being used.

The "honest" historical record of when I decided to use "git commit" while working on something is 100% useless for anyone but me (for me it's 90% useless).

git tracks revisions, not history of file changes.


Exactly, that's why a good project will use comments sparingly and have them only where they matter to actually meaningfully augment the code. The rest is noise.

To be more specific, RGB is a color model, and sRGB is one of the color spaces that uses this model, alongside device-specific color spaces.
