Wonderful to hear this is fixed in Nightly on Linux; thanks for the heads up. I reported this several months ago.

Hate that they recently implemented PWAs, but didn't bother making sure the icon for the site worked, so all PWAs have the genetic Firefox icon. The most valuable feature of PWAs is to identify a tab as a standalone app and there'

Fair, but the only other major player here, Google, has not done much better; RCS is still locked up with no API in sight.

Yep. I think Microsoft is planning to make all their money from AI; because all their other stuff is becoming wildly enshitified and I take every opportunity that I can to look for a replacement.

I love how they list refueling only taking 5 minutes from anywhere, but they leave out that you can't refuel at home. The EV side should be updated to say refueling time is zero because every time I leave my home I'm already compl

I hate CarPlay; yet another dumbed down interface that's inextricably linked to a phone.

You said it yourself, they're fundamentally suitable for most use cases. Yes, for the near future, there will be many use cases where gas is superior.

I don't see the big deal. If it was 100 years ago, then the name, perhaps, is effectively new.

lobste.rs, quite literally, allows you to filter the entire site by tags, so you only see what you want to see. I wish more sites did this.

> energy efficiency matters more with EVs This is correct, but I really don't see why Ferrari would care.

It's a new frontier and people have not targeted it yet?

Neat stuff, but this is not going to easily run the vast majority of open source software out there.

> OpenBSD focuses on auditing. This is partially true; there are numerous other things that are done for mitigation outside of this.

Agree. It's obvious some people are still having fun making operating systems!

Agreed. I also like that code doesn't get committed without a quality man page.

I really like OpenSMTPD; no nonsense and configuration feels rather modern compared to the legacy stuff that's out there.

Yeah, but the words gross negligence is legal for you're going to be sued for a whole lot of money.
