The thing is it’s never been more expensive and time consuming to write a browser, it’s bigger scope than a kernel in many ways. Stuff like Epiphany isn’t even close, despite relying on Apple’s webkit. Most distros just push people to Firefox now, despite a history of KHTML and all that. We would need something like the Linux Foundation to pick it up (which runs on corporate sponsorship for a shared resource)

Yeah but in the short term the company will literally go out of business

And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…

Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue

I just got a new laptop and was genuinely gonna try windows 11 and wsl for my coding needs. But in first boot, it demands internet to do updates. Ok, I connect to coffee shop wifi. Nope, won’t do it because it can’t handle the click through screen to accept wifi ToS. Fine. I take it home, where my Internet is great but has a glitch where it drops out for a few seconds now and then. Turns out that windows will literally cancel updating and demand I reconnect and restart for the kind of drop that I barely notice day to day. So I gave up, plugged in my ArchLinux thumb drive, and mkfs.ext4 before rsyncing my entire old computer to it

Back to Vine we go

Nice ramble, seems about right, though there’s always a new investing trend & VCs only slowed down a little, which happens in cycles

We have yet to see AI really transform too much of the economy, largely because of factors like price & being too primitive. I am expecting we will get the price down and various models like video and audio perfected, hospital tools, various analysis devices based on pattern recognition. So we can expect steady gdp gains as people become more efficient at their jobs using faster tools. However this doesn’t necessarily mean jobs lost, as productive efficiency is gained every year regardless. Companies can sell more product for lower prices, to new customers enabled by that price point, for example

Those are for messing up image generators and they have already been defeated via de-glazing tools

I live rural and driving a big ol electric brick is my dream XD

Rust grows once it’s punctured down, everyone knows this, no? I guess they only test cars in Texas and California. Still like the trukk

clearly never lived in a rural setting

My opinion is that it’s super legit, basically the only lasting icon of creativity and freedom of speech. Feels like what the whole internet used to be like, during the golden age before everything was captured by corps that fear brand damage and legal repercussions. People still repost 4chan content to all other media obsessively. Anyway 4chan is where it belongs, in the background. If it was more popular it would get totaled

I’m a digital ~anarchist. All this regulation doesn’t help, it just makes the Internet more ridiculous, and raises the barriers to entry - fuck em. Rather than regulating some sane browser features, we left it to every site to implement a cookies popup, and they are unique enough that they aren’t easily filtered. So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!! Really solved that shit. I don’t trust these assholes, it’s all gonna get lobbied weird and big money pretty much always wins

Real open source is the answer. Common goods for common people, not led by capitalism, but led by shared infrastructure needs that benefit all. Protect the rights to anonymity/privacy online, instead of helping big tech deanonymize everyone. Uphold the values of the constitution of the USA, but in the digital space. And otherwise fuck off, govt

I’m pretty sure that you could use one of those departments to fully automate management. Just go full data-driven and tie salaries to revenue. The engineers can take it from there, they’re plenty smart

Tldr pandemic and not AI

I manage like 200 servers in Google cloud k8s but I don’t think I’d do that for home use. The core purpose is to manage multiple servers and assign processes between them, auto scaling, cluster internal network - running docker containers for single instance apps for personal use doesn’t require this kind of complexity

My NAS software has a docker thing just built into it. I can upload or specify a package and it just runs it on the local hardware. If you have a Linux shell, I guess all you really have to do is run dockerd to start the daemon, make sure your network config allows connections, and upload your docker containers to it for running
