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.

> ..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.

> I have way too many tabs, in the middle of the day I often have 40+ per window.

You can definitely use a browser that accommodates for this.

If I may ask, could another option be to try and find the root cause of why you have 40 tabs open?

Maybe the vanilla browsers out there can be sufficient for you if you solved the problem of having to many tabs open; keeping tabs to a minimum?

https://thebrowser.company/ > - We love the internet, but it can be overwhelming - What if a browser could help us make sense of it all

My response to this.

Everyone uses the internet and thus by making such statements, this company can engage a lot of people.

I think this is an example of a problem that is far less "problematic" than what this company is trying to claim

At least, I was hoping for something more "revolutionary". I have seen tabs on the left side, colours representing the workspace you find yourself in, themes and similar ways of organizing all the different websites you visit.

In the end of the day, here is my take (I would love to be proven wrong, though). This is another attempt at trying to organize all the tabs you have open. It is and not a solution to the problem they describe.

TL;DR Another fancy browser to consider.

And here I was thinking the design of the phone made total sense to me. Not overdone in any way shape or form.

Why does it need to be the best in one single metric when it can be great in many?

It is an order of magnitude faster than Python. So it is well suited for performance in many cases.

It is a lot easier to pick up than C/C++. So it is well suited for smaller programs.

I can see Go as a very good middle-ground.

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