I have had a huge amount of issues trying to use both Ruby and Rust on Windows for server / client use cases. It's not just that it "works" on Windows, but that it works easily out of the box for common use cases. Meanwh

You should add "upload / sync with decentralized storage" to the future goals. Seems like a logical next step to have it sync to an IPFS or Dat drive. Not sure how it would be implemented though.

Twitter gets free bandwidth but still gets to profit off of the centralized social index? We call that the "bitchute effect".

It also ruins your social life and relationships :) To each their own, though. I did OMAD (one meal a day) and found that it was just not tenable from the relationship standpoint.

The new greeter experience looks cool, but who the heck has multiple users on their machine anymore? This is a completely useless component to the OS.

Based on my own experience, I think Chrome hits the nail on the head because usually the only helpful thing in terms of finding the right tab is (1) the favicon and (2) the general position of the tab among the other tabs. General position

There should really just be a "Chrome" config template for Firefox for people that prefer Chrome UX and styling. But in general, it's very upsetting that Firefox doesn't actively support editing these user setting fields

Idk what Fitt's law is but I assume it's something like "don't make things disappear when the user expects them to be there". In that case, I think Firefox violates this. Your tabs are just gone when you could have

I tried it for a while, but honestly, the UI for tree-style was ugly. If I'm going to look at and interact with something for hours on end, I can't have it be ugly.

Sadly, LBRY isn't able to track view counts. Which makes organic, network effects really difficult. Maybe they could implement a naive "view tracking" by having the client do small proof of work when they interact with conten

Oh I was reading return-oriented as "object-oriented" the entire time. My mistake.

Is the idea that this would only be possible in object-oriented programming? And it wouldn't be possible in something like Haskell/Rust?
