I think that it never happened because folks find the power in bash scripts instead and different desktops can’t be automated the same anyway.

I have just been doing some ghost recon on this today actually. I see they are hoping to make it more embeddable like webkit is. I can’t wait for that api because I’m building an app that has need of that. In fact I ran my reveal.js presentation I use for my church in it tonight. It can’t do video yet, but most of the presentation was fine. I think animations were a bit wonky.

That said, I think they both are great. Servo doesn’t want to be the browser itself while ladybird is looking to be both. I’d love to build my own qutebrowser like browser around servo once it’s more ready.

This is why millenials, despite all else wrong with us, are the best generation. I asked a kid the other day if they knew what a directory was… Crickets.

So it doesn’t download for later use? It just becomes a proxy system to stream from the debrid service?

But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn’t. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

Emacs can do that obviously. And everything else.

Correct. Always provide wrong answer. No one can withstand someone being wrong on the internet.

Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I’m sure it’s still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I’m on calyx.

Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can’t screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

While that’s true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn’t take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you’d need another device to do all the processing.

No lisp?

I’ll be honest, I’ve used scribus some and have not liked it. I hope that this makes it better. I much prefer a local Foss program to being forced to run a VM for publisher or make stuff in canva.

Yea that’s basically sonarr with a downloader like transmission. Which are separate from jellyfin. Go here to learn for to set it all up. servarr

No bar I see. I too like to love dangerously.

Hmmm nah. I’m not editing. I’ll stand by it.

Absolutely! I can’t believe when I stumbled across it in 2020 that it was as old as it is. And folks think it’s too old and decrepit to use, it’s inanely powerful.

While I suppose you’re right, the fella up there shares some of the other real reasons. Airtags too. They can recognize me with my android because I’m around enough Apple users and their devices flag mine. Apple’s mesh network for find my iPhone is the single greatest example that they don’t truly want you to be private, at least not from them. From others yes I will agree, but not from themselves.

I’d highly encourage everyone to use more FOSS stuff. Think of it this way, you believe all information should be free and open, what if every technological advancement was too. How far could we go?

Right now Apple got big and bad because they made the best stuff and worked real hard to isolate themselves from everyone else so they could build a walled garden. What if your first introduction to a computer was one that started open and free? What if the brilliant minds that integrated the Apple ecosystem did it openly so everyone could enjoy it going further? Also, what if every harmful technology had been done in the open so watchdogs could tell you if some software was harmful to you?

I think the world would be far better off. You could prove things are good and bad, you wouldn’t have so much driven by greed but by the good intentions of good people.

FOSS, sometimes has all the features if you know where to look. There is an awesome Linux app called KDE connect that almost bridges the gap between phone and Linux. It can’t do calls, but that’s because unlike apple it can’t reroute them. It can do texts, send links and files back and forth, control media, run arbitrary command from your phone, and it does all that not just between phone and computer, but also computer and computer, all devices you connect to it. It’s amazing what good people with brilliant minds can do with so little. They didn’t even need millions of dollars to do it, just some creativity.

I love the philosophy and have so believed in it because there are small places where you can get a glimpse of what incredible things we’d have if we just stopped being entitled and greedy.

Right but this all completely neglects my first point, you don’t know if they are telling the truth.
