Servo had so much potential as the flagship Rust project, a fast and memory safe browser engine. Such a loss to see it jettisoned and abandoned. Myopic decisions like these are filling the cloud of pessimism that now shrouds Mozilla.

Connotations aside, using a well worn slogan 8 years later is uninspired. This makes it very ironic.

Yeah I thought someone had taken the 3D render that's made the rounds of the classic Winamp 3x player and made it into hardware. Not as impressive as that would be.

Someone had abandoned a vacuum cleaner identical to my own (10+ year old) model from a not so common make in the ground floor lobby of my apartment block. It was surreal walking past it for months, just sitting there alone in the corner. My

The Anti cheat stuff along with some graphical glitches on some games (namely the original Deus Ex, ancient I know but I love it) meant I couldn't fully commit to Steam on Linux. But booting up the Master Chief Collection and signing i

I agree. Certain DEs and WMs are fun to play with, Void Linux is a fun minimal system to tinker with, Debian is perfect for a fire up and forget server but ultimately commercial software always has the polish and edge I need to get things d

The only thing I can praise is the .NET Core ecosystem. C#, ASP.NET and EF is very comfy for web dev compared to my experiences with Java and its thousand moving parts. That said, I still fear what may come. The decrees from on high concoct

Modern macOS design is reasonably consistent but with fewer visual cues - still a step above Windows post-7. And yes, I meant the bezels and skeuomorphism of earlier design - exemplified by Windows 9x-2k and System 8/9, while NeXT and

The penguin kernel is indeed very nifty and boots nearly everywhere. Most importantly it is replete with battle-tested drivers. Maybe the bold solution would be to port the Serenity userland + UI stack across to Linux and be very staunch ab

I fully respect these reasons, they are logical and well said. But hopefully interest in SerenityOS doesn't taper off due to this. Kling was great at garnering interest with his YouTube videos where he'd go deep into bug fixing an

Sounds like Apple would've had something like Visual Basic but 5 years before Microsoft if it had a drag and drop interface for creating GUIs. But Jobs went on to do that on the NeXT.

Happens all the time: I need the wretched app to go to a QR code-only concert. Would love to take up a stallman-esque stand against this, but the bands I love aren't getting any younger and neither am I. Need to show my digital ticket

My favourite local eatery has a website that looks like it was made in Frontpage 2003. It has a big long row of those coloured and textured bezel-effect buttons that were all the rage back then. Most bizarrely of all, the restaurant was onl

Seems a strange rule though, there are countless other websites hosting screenshots of copyrighted software. Surely it is well covered under fair use, if there needs be any legal basis.

I wish I'd knew of Krita sooner. Genuinely one of the main drivers of my switch to Mac OS was Affinity Photo (which is excellent btw), because I was driven half insane by GIMP's frustrating keyboard controls. Need it be that dif

Kudos for finding a screenshot on Wiki that hasn't been downsized to a postage stamp. For some reason they aggressively enforced a new policy a couple of years ago, and now many of the screenshots are tiny. Case in point: https:/

Using MySQL for private infrastructure and using Postgres for our production app. No strong reasons for it, but I wanted to try psql after decades of toying with MySQL. I like it despite its weird insistence on snake case for everything.

The days of running /index.php for your own forum or script are indeed in the rear view. But it's still very big for small to medium enterprise, where Java + Spring would be excessive. Most of my local web consultancies who produc
