I think the core problem is that they all use different toolkits. The design teams come up with these great widget designs and then they all have to be implemented on a per-toolkit or even per-app basis. Just looking at Explorer: - The wind

> With GPU terminal emulators It seems like something like inline postscript rendering makes sense for things in a terminal - it's text, vector based, versatile. Then Markdown or man/mdoc are easily rendered.

I found the macOS desktop much more responsive than GNOME which feels like a beast. Now I use MATE which is nice and simple but it’s no where near as nice as macOS.

That might be the case for many people^, bit it's a different thing to say than "these are, to a large extent, the same people who..." which imo is a flame if it goes without figures to back it up. ^) Although not for me, man

Or international if you're in a small country ;). My wife and I take several multiday trips to places in Europe by train instead of flying to a faraway place once (or twice). Better for the environment and it's not like there&#x27

Thanks! Note that I don’t have much experience writing Win32 apps so the code might not be top quality. The universal lib is interesting for future work (the compiler inlined the few things I needed). For Win32s support generating a positio

That’s cool! Windows’ backwards compatibility is amazing. It also allows for feature detection so a program can work on 3.11 but also look and feel native on 10. I played around with that here: https://github.com/sjmulder&#x

I do agree that employing arrests as a tactic is exclusive (although here people aren't left to themselves to cover legal fees), but it must also be said that this that XR has a wide range of roles and types actions to participate in t

Efficient, but unfortunately not sustainable at this scale and intensity. E.g. our soils are in a bad state, see the recent report from Planbureau voor de leefomgeving.

Personal observation, but also the app is #12 for news on the App Store and NOS themselves stated in 2017 that the service is popular: https://www.spreekbuis.nl/npo-en-nos-over-de-toekomst-van-te... (I’m not going to argue

It's still hugely popular in the Netherlands, but somewhat ironically mostly viewed through the web or apps. I wrote a simple command line reader scraping the web version: https://github.com/sjmulder/nostt

Yeah, it's not text/plain. The list has also strayed a bit from what I originally intended, which wasn't so much about loading quickly but more about primarily sticking with marked up, hyperlinked text. I do intend to reorgan

This is right. The list started with a handful of sites that were (almost) text-only, such as the NOS, CNN and NPR news sites, but as submissions came in it expanded with not quite text-only sites that still espoused many of the same values

I agree minor CSS changes make sense, and you'll see I've applied some styling for dark mode, use of serif font, maximum page width and minor other things on specific pages. But I've chosen not to mess with things line text s
