Yeah, I'm not sure if "partnerships" is what my project would be looking for either. I'm honestly curious on the purely conceptual level of how you think the corporate world might approach the concept of "very state

Well, GNU/Linux, as such might not, but the various desktops that run atop it most certainly should care. Re: ACK! THBBFT!: Just my personal ode to Bloom County which I feel must certainly be regarded as the greatest comic strip ever.

As long as web applications are necessarily embedded inside of SCRIPT elements, which are themselves necessarily embedded inside of HTML elements, then documents will always have priority over applications.

I don't see the "binaryification" of the web platform happening any time soon (if ever). The web is (and should remain) fundamentally about the transmission of documents. Javascript+DOM allows for the dynamic updating of said

I'd love to start working with anyone who wants to turn the web into a solid platform for application development with Linux on the Web . It has been over a decade in the making, and is starting to become quite stable. It is almost e

Well, although I certainly can get enjoyment through never-ending hours of coding, I am mainly doing this project to get something to actually work. I would tend to look at this project as an implementation rather than an emulation. The cur

Wouldn't launching a browser within a bare-bones X11 session in some kind of kiosk mode during system initialization be a proper solution?

Well, there is technically no such thing as an "actual Linux system." There are mainly GNU/Linux systems. If one is using the word "Linux" from a high-level systems theoretical perspective, the they are speaking abo

Everything is mainly just my own handcrafted Javascript. There is only one wasm module included so far (binjgb) to allow for the playing of gameboy games. I've previously tried to implement all of those sorts of POSIX-isms, but I'

Ahh... my two favorite tech-related subject matters: Linux distros and the politics of browser choice. I'm currently trying to invert this entire discussion by putting a well-oiled Linux distro inside of the browser [1]. [1] For whoe

Ardour is epic. I'd love to start building something as solid as it for web-based audio tooling purposes on https://linuxontheweb.github.io/ .

It is in the nature of the atomic elements in the class of noble gases to not do much mixing with other elements. We too are made up of atomic elements. In our case, it would be the precise combinations of these elements that would tend to

Okay, I think I've finally figured out why Linux on the Web [1] exists! I'll be able to help with a startup that enables freedom fighters to control the drones that will shoot down the drones that are being flown by the cops :-D !

You really need a coherent model of physical reality in order to make much of a comment on the notion of freedom. Any such model will include laws as well as degrees of freedom . So with Sapolsky, we find a biologist who's never had

I have a prominent place on google under the term "the peace guy." I went out to LA in 2011, and just started holding my peace sign fingers in the air on Bruin Walk. You should see me in an image right next to the Bruin bear by go

We might need to wait another generation or two before Nietzsche's stuff starts making proper sense. I've been feeling that there's going to need to be some sort of a global reckoning between communist and capitalist ways of

I wanted to make Linux on the Web precisely because I knew that Unix Philosophy on the Web would never catch on. "Linux" is merely the current pronunciation for the ideas that were coming out of Bell Labs in the 1970s.

I think Nietzsche was on to something with his concept of the noble classes, according to whom morality becomes fully life affirming, i.e. beyond good and evil. Everything else being based on the herd instincts of the "slave classes.&

Only global revolution can begin the process of changing the hideous path we are all currently on. My current thinking is that Marx's ideas needed a fully internet covered planet before they could have a prayer of being realized. One m

"Why you should care" There is no should with caring. You either care or you don't. Everything else is a lame act. People should start working on things that they happen to care about. Everything else will fall into place

On a somewhat related note, who wants to help me start a hippie commune in a very well-known Florida college town with an astronomical number of beautiful women of every nationality? They actually know who I am because I'm the one guy

I want to do what Miller Puckette did, but on the web. It's because of previous creativity such as his that I continue to work on a new kind of platform [1]. I can only assume that creatives (especially musically inclined ones) will ta

When I talk to people about my love for the movie Office Space (and Mike Judge), they always tell me about Idiocracy . I still haven't seen it, but I feel like this kind of thing would have a place in that movie (or perhaps even Be

Thanks for that (and no thanks for this )! You won't find too many this's (or deeply nested properties of any kind) in my own decade+ long adventure with JavaScript. Will bookmark for future reference.

No. But fears of Hacker News with nothing but paywalled links definitely is!
