What if you are just delaying dinner? I often have dinner after 22:00

Relatable

Because a browser doesn’t just needs to keep working, it needs to evolve to adapt to the evolving web. New technologies get developed (webgpu, csp, cors, http3, etc…, some would add AI to the list but I wouldn’t) and browsers need to implement them, and old technologies get improved (faster more secure JavaScript engines, faster document renderers).

These are all things an actively developed browser engine will have to do, and things that a 2009 fork of Firefox receiving less than 10 commits per month by a single developer won’t achieve without getting them from upstream Firefox. But if you need to rely on upstream Firefox then once again you won’t survive meaningfully without Firefox.

Or you can just do the hipster and keep on using a 15 year old browser. Maybe use lynx or w3m to cut on the bloat. Or switch to gopher. You do you, it’s not my job to convince you.

I’m pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren’t any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made

No, cook him

Nah, you just want feet pics

Yes, but you can think for yourself and you and Amy product manager know how much they would benefit (just as much as Google and Apple, other for profit companies of the same caliber) and you know they would have the means to produce such software (just like Apple and Google). So, knowing that they still decided it’s not worth the investment, you can infer that the cost would be immense.

Also, all the other points still stand.

Right, let me rephrase “no Firefox fork worth using has any chance to maintain meaningful existence without upstream Firefox”

I’m sure many forks will go on surviving from scraps if Firefox disappeared tomorrow. But they wouldn’t get anything useful done.

Let me put this into perspective, Microsoft (a trillion dollar company that would benefit enormously from rolling their own browser engine) didn’t have the resources for maintaining a browser engine.

Stupid argument. None of the various Firefox forks has any chance to keep existing without Firefox. You should still cheer for Firefox

Well, mixed with coffee It will lower the alcohol. Also it doesn’t matter the percentage if you are only drinking a little amount. In some regions of Italy in the past many people used to drink coffee with grappa, which has 37% alcohol.

What’s that?

The one in the picture is pandoro

A third display server would probably be either useless (as in it would not be adopted or development would not takeoff) or just Wayland but without the committee. As such it would only cause more fragmentation. Plus, not anyone has the skills and availability required to make a good display server, and as of now, most of the ones that do are working on Wayland.

P.s. if instead of Wayland like it were x11 like it would stop being “de-facto useless” and become “useless by definition”

I remember Bart Simpson doing that

Is that the eurion constellation with a belt on it?

UV is a lot more than pipx. It installs applications from pypi, without dependency hell, but it also uses hard links when possible to avoid wasting space. But it’s also a dev tool. It manages python installations, workspaces, you can use it to edit the pyproject, it can also publish to pypi, even from a GitHub action if set up from pypi. It just does a lot more.

Correction, uv isn’t in any way less an option. pypi is only the registry. If you are using pip you will end up in dependency hell, you might use something like poetry to avoid that, but uv is just better.

But… wait a minute… uv is inspired by cargo, and it’s also written in rust. That’s quite the coincidence, huh?

Also, cargo is fast, it’s rustc that’s slow, and that’s because rustc is doing advanced code analysis. Compiling rust is actually NP-hard, but in exchange for that, the compiler will catch bugs in place of the developer. Which is a good tradeoff considering that you only compile once and run many times.

“countless projects that use it that way” isn’t proof of anything. Countless projects tell you to curl a 2000 lines script into sudo bash that will fill your os with bullshit.
