I was just talking about this today. There was a political comedy TV show here in Oz 'Shaun Micallefs : Mad as Hell'. I cannot remember the details exactly but the general idea was something like this. There was a dinner party wit

Exactly. My (mild) fear it that we ignore those kinds of issues and they blow back on us to start doing real harm to the overall system. To ignore the externalities like running up a credit card. As to the second point, this is what empires

Also, odds of 'the hug of death' is very low on some so nimble.

When you put it in that context, the rovers look like an absolute bargain!

There is a lot to be said for luck. Bill Gate said it himself, there where other folks that had much better technology but the luck just worked in Microsoft's favor. That and a lot of anti-competitive behavior. A bit the same with Appl

At least by the time it came to the G4 Cube, they had at least adjusted the clock speeds to stop a repeat of this. I used to have a Dual G5 PowerMac and when you have that thing going at full speed, it was LOUD! I suspect that absolutely bu

My favorite shrooms story is from reddit. Someone when taking schrooms would always "talk to God" and would get answers but they could never remember them the next day. So one day they ensured they had a notepad around to write do

I have never had an issue with them. That said I typically go mid range on cards so they are usually hardened architecture due to a year or two of being in the high end.

Thanks for the additional context. Generally, the opposite of one bad idea is usually another bad idea. Too much is bad, too little is bad - the middle ground is ideal. For example - Too much water is drowning, doesn't mean we should a

Also the Chinese saying that goes "Wealth does not last beyond three generations". There are exceptions to this rule but it is fairly robust. Part of it is wealth becoming diluted with offspring and secondly being raised in wealth

They are probably re-engineered by different companies so they have a monopoly on that product for the lifetime of the patent. Could also have a different chemical profile in terms of application and taste. I guess it is like car tires. One

Alas as many have said elsewhere, it is a side effect of the economics systems around us that have caused this to occur.

As an aside, I have seen some folks get incredible boot times simply by eliminating all devices wait times or loading things concurrently. Looking at game consoles is a good example of cold booting speeds but even they are much slower than

There are many factors that feed into the software complexity. Added abstraction for ease of development, added demands of some software functions that are not so immediately apparent and the endless needs for ever higher security on softwa

So far the core idea is a sort of constitutional foundation to try and ensure it doesn't get absorbed into that think. Mind you, that was Mozilla 20 years ago. Short term, deshittify Firefox. Mid term move to some like Lady bird. Long

This is where ideals meet ugly reality. Most people cherish convenience over everything else up until the externalities cannot be ignored. Still a long way to go if that is to happen on the web.

That plus a few of the team have been deeply involved in other browsers. This is nothing new for them. Doesn't make it certain, but it is a good foundation to be working from.

Because of the whole culture of GNU/FSF/Stallman, it can be a little funky at times. It has been a while but I think it still comes bundled with LibreJS, an addon that checks every Java script for Libre licensing. And yes it can b

That would be wild to see. Mozilla drops servo to save costs, only to then later pick it up.

I already do this a lot on my desktop. Running on of the FSF approved distros, I have three layers of browsers. 1. Links/Elinks for most stuff. 2. If that doesn't work, Trisquel Abrowser which is a privacy focused fork of Firefox.

All good! That said I do like the genuine recommendation. Will look at that.

Elinks via Termux? /jk For those that don't know, Elinks is a text only terminal browser.

Thats just it, that they are doing this in a somewhat quiet manner is a sign that they know how this would go down.

I mean for a long while even the GNU project provided Windows builds for Icecat browser. Probably to much Stallman grumbling. EDIT : Actually they still update it. Last version is 115.

It will be something like WEI or sites will just be a giant blob served via WebASM.

So where can I donate to Ladybird browser development? Before anyone tries to respond with it. It is https://donorbox.org/ladybird

I love it! These are the awesome kind of projects I like seeing. No hype about "what could be" but a case of "Here it is! Go for it!"

Just a quick note. That you have pricing up front is such a big thing. Places like Imgur and photobucket before it were out to be exploited merely for their free bandwidth. There is a clear means of funding this and that instills confidence

When you see projects like this from start to finish you get to appreciate both how they used to squeeze so much out of the hardware, but also just how efficient our modern computers are in terms of materials. I mean a Raspberry Pi Zero wou
