Yeah, the fish analogy makes sense.

I have a Wacom tablet myself and I do think it is nice to draw on, but I wonder if the surface can be improved. Would love to try possible alternatives.

I want to challenge the idea that drawing/writing on what feels like paper is subpar compared to a surface that have the pencil glide a bit more.

I always thought writing on paper is something we have to deal with because paper is.. well, the physical medium we always used because it is cheap to manufacture.

And not only for Instruction Set Architectures. I feel this might be the case for software too.

1. Want a simpler application

2. Write it

3. Realize adding complex code that's weird can really boost performance

4. Repeat 3 until someone thinks your application is overcomplicated and makes a new one

I guess the moral here is that computers are complicated and trying to avoid complexity is hard or infeasible.

Recent events really have affected how I look at the Ladybird browser.

A year ago (or some) before Andreas Kling announced the large sponsorships this all felt like a hobby project with Andreas himself even admitting that he would not expect too much of it. However, now they are actually trying to build a web-browser that will handle modern websites and web-apps.

I am truly impressed by the community and also very stoked to see how this will develop going into the next two years.

I assume this is for GNOME.

When speaking of Fedora Workstation or Fedora as a whole, then GNOME is the implied desktop environment.

Any other desktop environment is delivered via what they call "spin". I guess since you are using the Cinnamon spin, you probably already knew that, though. :)

I think you are refering to the [0] "rubberband effect". I also played this game a lot. Great memories.

Sorry, I don't know.

> ..there's enough that's different about the permissions structure between OS's that just a straight port wouldn't make sense.

Does this mean that the feature set of sudo for Windows can't be similar to the feature set found on sudo for *nix e.g. for BSD, MacOS, Linux..?

I just made a wrapper script that calls the script in the serenity repo (which I cloned into my home directory) and put the script in PATH e.g. in /usr/bin/ladybird. The content my script.

> #!/usr/bin/env bash

> cd ${HOME}/serenity && ./Meta/serenity.sh run lagom ladybird

I guess you could create a .desktop file that invokes the script, or just the "serenity.sh" script directly.

What really impressed me is how fast it changes the theme colours.

Locate the little arrow in the top right, click it and then select "Theme".

Now use your arrow keys to change the theme and see for yourself. :)

I see that you disagree with the parent comment. I would like to know why. Could you provide some details as well?

Coding experience? Wordpress is PHP based. When I did many small PHP projects, I came across CraftCMS.

> Straw man much?

An interesting way to start a comment.

> No one would buy tables from those carpenters...

There are companies owning large portions of markets where they can do exactly what you describe. Through market manipulation, political manipulation and probably other tactics I don`t know. This is a moral issue.

> If you create something and I take that and I end up earning money off your work..

While I agree with that statement, this is not the moral issue we are discussing. We are discussing the morals of rent seeking behavior, which you shrug of as "your 1 million users will quickly become 0 users" as if that will always be the case.

Not related to Git + git-email. I just want to say that I love the way this website is structured. Also, it renders fast.
