Since this entry was flagged without justification, which shows me that censorship is taking place, I will not use HN in the future or support it in any other way. I will discuss with my lawyer how I can enforce the deletion of my account according to European guidelines.
Some time ago I published four small articles[1] about templeOS. Unfortunately I had less time to deal with this OS. I can only guess that you should have a look at this OS. If you ignore all the religious information you can experiment a lot. Even though Terry was very ill, I have an incredible respect for what he did. There are not many people who have put their own OS on its feet and even implemented very unusual ideas of their own. All this running on ring 0 is pretty exciting.
Do you actually do everything that websites tell you on the Internet without thinking for yourself? You can read the article without attaching an e-mail. Gosh!

I've given up RSS. Until the end of the year 2019 I still had a RSS.xml file which I updated by hand, but eventually I got too much work. The main reason was not that RSS is "dead" but the old and cumbersome syntax. I cannot get used to XML. Another reason is that browsers have started not to support RSS anymore. I have never used a reader, but rather read RSS in the browser than some kind of minimalist blog. It is difficult to say if RSS is dead, but I have the "subjective" feeling that less and less people implement RSS in their projects. In my opinion, RSS should be completely revised, not only in concept but also in syntax.
I've seen this many times in the last few weeks. Can people please stop copying and pasting individual sentences of an article out of the actual context of the article and posting them in the comments. Even without a comment of their own. This way the article cannot be viewed objectively and that is also the reason why misinformation is spread. We are not in other "social communities" here. Thank you.
For me as a Linux only user, Proton is an incredible relief. I have all my games on Steam and can turn on Proton with a checkbox. I often use it to play old classics like The Eldar Scrolls Morrowind or Oblivion. For me Proton is a gamechanger, because a few years ago I had a second laptop running Windows and I played my games on it. I haven't had that for three years.
I used the Zkn3[1] software for a while, but unfortunately it is not updated anymore. Also the software quickly reaches its performance limits with many entries. Nevertheless it is worth a look, if you want to see the concept as software.

That's one of the reasons I'm not buying a device with Android 10. I find it intolerable that I can't uninstall most pre-installed apps. PlayMusic, PlayBooks, News, Drive. Hangouts, Assistant, GMail etc. are all apps I don't use. Nevertheless, they are still on my smartphone and take away important space. I understand that Google/Alphabet also wants to earn money but it's really annoying. I'm using the Firefox browser but still can't uninstall Google Chrome.
[Dev] I'm not a fan of syncthing, but that's up to everyone. Why I used email is because I often have to send links from websites to other contacts. I click the right mouse button and send the link. I like to combine several applications to save time. At first it sounds like a marginal time difference, but it's the total time of a year. The browser has evolved as it turned out to be best for my very special way of working. I can't please all people and I don't want to.
I am not satisfied with the previous Javascript solution. Yes, an ad blocker can help, but this is at the expense of loading time. I hate to wait until a website is loaded. Since most videos are implemented as Javascript application, they are blocked by default in the alligator. I don't want to missionize you here either, because there are enough web browsers on the market. My main goal is to get to know other points of view so that I can develop a better product.
[Dev] So far I had not included webassembly in my planning. I will read myself into the topic. At the moment I can't make any promises if WA will be implemented at some point.
[Dev] I understand your arguments well and accept your criticism. The problem with the bookmarks has been solved so that the user can send them by email. The links are stored centrally and I can access them directly from my computer, laptop or smartphone. A text file on my OS is cumbersome and I can access it very badly with other services.
Yes, it is really difficult to surf the Internet without Javascript. But I deliberately decided against it, because Javascript is not necessary for my information retrieval. I need information and I need it fast. I don't have time to load hundreds of single JS scripts, only to display advertisements, blink features and unnecessary menus. The web has evolved into a massive blob of additional features in recent years. That's ok if you want to be entertained. The browsers have adapted to it. But, so now I have to ask a question, why does news.ycombinator.com allow me to login and comment without javascript? Because the focus is on a good and fast service. And this is what the Alligator Browser is designed for.
