In general, why would one take this approach of embedding a browser, compiling to WASM, etc. over a native UI? I'm genuinely curious why/when this is a better solution.

Gatsby's a static site generator, isn't it? That's different from SSR.

Whataboutism. Mass-surveillance (including bulk collection of metadata) is an authoritarian move, which more and more western countries are guilty of. I'm not making a comparison – I'm simply arguing against something.

Here's hoping for a Butlerian Jihad... or, you know, just introducing privacy legislation that make specific outcomes, not methods, illegal – in the same way that murder is illegal, regardless of method, tools, etc. While Tethics and A

How is "cognition != consciousness" surprising, especially given the (now old) fMRI studies complicating (our experience of) free will? Why would one assume awareness and processing abilities to be related, if there is no evidence

Currently, switching contexts means quitting unneeded applications, though I'd certainly be interested in exploring alternative needs, and I'm planning on implementing whitelisting of apps on a context- and/or global basis. I

I just meant that there are technical approaches that don't necessarily involve centralized storage of everyone's movements and contacts, but achieve the same goals. Singapore (and others, for that matter) has allegedly solved som

From a technical perspective, you don't need to trust the government in these cases - provided that they implement the solutions with built-in privacy.

I think this is another example of wanting to ban a concrete outcome of problematic behavior. It's the tracking and targeting that should be illegal, in my opinion. I've always found it weird that we don't explicitly recogniz

Thanks! There will likely be a one-time license fee (per major version). I'm implementing a trial period, but it will not be unlimited.

Thanks! I've got a couple of thoughts and strategies for trying to implement the same functionality on other platforms, but I honestly haven't had the time to prototype or even look more into it yet...

Point is, though, someone being hypocritical doesn't make their argument wrong - claiming that it does is a fallacy [0]. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

Thanks, but what value does your appeal to people's hypocracy bring to this discussion?

Separate user accounts is kind of the naive (and not quite complete) solution to the same problem. Not really a smooth experience in my opinion, doesn't map quite as well to the concept of "working context" as I think of it.

Thanks! The basic idea, on and off for close to five years. Started out experimenting with shell session persistence (solved[0], but not quite), then prototyping a browser-concept and playing with browser-extensions, then settling on the OS

I can't believe that this stuff is acceptible, or even legal. The fact that you're tracked off-Facebook (for instance), even if you're not logged in or on Facebook is not just creepy, but borderline abusive.
