Honesty? Sounds like investor hype to me.

Yeah. Try comparing texts written in Old English and Old Norse. It's basically the same language. (I'm not surprised at all that Beowulf takes place in Scandinavia.)

But I think they would both be easier to decipher for someone speaking Swedish than English.

There are strong indications that Half Life 3 (or at least a Half Life game) is coming soon. Of course, Valve might decide to pan the project, but I wouldn't be surprised seeing an announcement for 2026.

I have good news for you: if you prefer running a PWA in your browser of choice, you can. Nothing forces you to install the PWA.

How? Do I need to configure something in uBlock Origin? If I go to, e.g., Reddit I still see the annoying "Open app" button.

I am very much interested in local-first/only (backend-less) PWAs, and have built a couple of them myself.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have any use for a time-boxing app. Nice work though.

Is there a reason you went with localStorage rather than indexedDB?

One useful thing is supporting 3rd party sync services. One of the apps I built allowed syncing data across devices via Dropbox. I never got Google Drive working, though, their API was horrible to work with in comparison. Is sync support something you've considered?

Nifty.

I've long wanted a scrollable/zoomable desktop, with a minimap that shows the overall layout. Think the UI of an RTS game, where instead of units you move around and resize windows. This seems like something in that direction, at least.

How does Karousel work with full screen applications, e.g., games?

> Russia has attacked Ukraine. Not Europe.

Ukraine is most definitely a part of Europe.

If a child is, e.g., two standard deviations below the norm, it is cruel to expect it to keep up with the pace of other students.

Education can be better adapted to the child's needs.

I see. Thank you for the explanation!

Interesting. What are the use cases for being able to do this?

In what way is Flatpak being forced on you?

> seeing as Earth alone has billions of years left where such life could arise,

In case you didn't know, Earth has about one billion years of water left.

> We essentially have only two lineages of macroscopic organisms that are actually fundamentally different: Plants and animals.

That's not true, we also have fungi as a macroscopic lineage.

Or maybe you put them in the plant group? If so, that's a mistake, as they are more closely related to animals than they are to plants.
