It's vibe coded. The entire project is only 10 commits, a few of them are giant with a bunch of markdown files full of emojis in the docs/ folder.

Having access to the source is just one part of open source. The state of webkitgtk is a bit rough, as I’m sure you and your engineers have noticed. The other part of what open source means to people is that you contribute back to the open

I can’t speak to whatever konqueror uses these days but webkitgtk is notoriously behind and difficult to work with. You can read posts from the Tauri devs questioning their entire approach on Linux due to it. I really hope Kagi contributes

Especially because WebKit’s lineage goes all the way back to KHTML. It’s nice to see KHTML come home to Linux but it does need to be open source.

It’s still annoying to move. The only way it’s practical is if you can store a regex to match container ids or whatever, and quickly fetch it

Neither of those companies are producing astronomical telescopes as far as I can tell.

You generally don’t need any QT apps. Whereas using KDE without any GTK apps is tough. Even Firefox uses gtk.

Lots of weird marketing speak on here for an astronomical observatory. “Modular design that leverages economies of scale” what? These are telescopes, not telephones. There’s a very small amount of scientific grade ones in existence and they

Ben you still have code running here.

I recently made the same switch. Tailscale plus jellyfin is great. Threw in Immich too for good measure. I wanted a nice native client for Linux instead of using the web app so I wrote one in Rust. Shameless plug: https://github.

Zed doesn’t need to run a web browser so I kinda doubt it will ever have “as much to do”

That’s what I’m currently doing - it’s barely functional. I’m sure it’ll get there eventually but it misses a ton of stuff the desktop version blocks.

Good. The sooner I can run Firefox with the legit uBlock origin the better.

There’s a link to submit a DROP request at the bottom of the page. Is this live? I want to sign up. Unfortunately following the link results in an infinite redirect.

This is from codecrafters.io which is a platform that facilitates working on projects like these while essentially providing integration tests to keep you honest, as well some community. You work through well defined requirements to reach

Is it anger? The agent thing maybe. The other two points seem to boil down to: 1. Kotlin is a hack and 2. Rust is more fun. Pretty understandable why one would simply want to move on to greener pastures.

That's what I'm saying. Benevolent dictator is the rule, not the exception, in FOSS. Which is why GP's argument that private companies good, FOSS bad, makes no sense.

I don't know what you think "typical Foss projects" are but in my experience they are exactly like your systemd example: one person that does what they want and share it with the world. The rest of your argument doesn't

So some AI company instructed their state of the art, world changing tech to “do some good” this holiday season and the best it could do was spam a bunch of famous CS people with the first paragraph of their respective Wikipedia articles? T

I’d much rather get nothing. An AI letter isn’t worth the notification bubble it triggers.

He literally apologized for any part he had in it. This just makes me realize you didn’t actually read the post and I shouldn’t engage with the first part of your argument.

This is a purity test that cannot be passed. Give me your career history and I’ll tell you why you aren’t allowed to make any moral judgments on anything as well.

Ad tech is a scourge as well. You think Rob Pike was super happy about it? He’s not even at google anymore. The amount of “he’s not allowed to have an opinion because” in this thread is exhausting. Nothing stands up to the purity test.

I’d much rather read a letter from you full of errors than some smooth average-of-all-writers prose. To be human is to struggle. I see no reason to read anything from anyone if they didn’t actually write it.

I’ve been more into Rust recently but after reading this I have a sudden urge to write some Go.

Your metaphor doesn’t make sense. What to LLMs run on? It’s still steam and belt based systems all the way down.

This is what ruffles my jimmies about this whole thing: > I’m ashamed to say sometimes their documentation is better than the internal stuff. The reverse engineering is a monumental effort, this Sisyphean task of trying to keep up with n
