     Why is the @linuxfoundation show a *Mac* in the video rather than Linux?

     and also: why do they need to show a browser frame in that video at all?

     @zack @liw and what does the "deepest development community" mean when many of the example apps/projects are non-free & non-transparent?

     @tmarble: and even letting transparency aside for a moment, I don't get what "deepest" is supposed to measure in that sentence…

     That's confusing... it really isn't at all hard to get a screenshot of a browser running on a free software desktop.

     anyway... free software might lack a lot of things, but not browsers? Extremely... perplexing.

     @cwebber @liw @zack -- perhaps, the person behind the video is an "open source" type -- not too conscious about using free software.

     Probably, but it's a "Linux" Foundation video. Shouldn't there be a GNU/Linux or Android/Linux OS being shown if that's what's celebrated?

     @zack I think we see the browser chrome because the full screen on Mac isn't as good as on Linux. :-D

     @cwebber careful, the Ubuntu dictator for life will accuse you of doing a McCarthy-like witch hunt - not that anyone should care...

     Everything I run is FOSS, don't run Skype or proprietary gfx drivers, except my browser which is Opera. :)

     @hub We don't need private corporations and Amazon ads in GNU Linux, the Ubuntu dictator can go away.
