This is why when I read about “new browsers” being developed, I kind of shrug a little. Yes, browser standards are dominated by Google and it’s shit, but instead of just playing in Google’s stump of a playground, why not try and do something new and innovative like what Alan Kay is describing? Pipe a program or a script or web assembly or something else to another computer and let it render it. Or hell, come up with something different.
If everybody just tries to play Google’s game where Google makes the rules, they’re going to lose. The game is rigged. Create a new one.
You believing Serbia is part of “the East” is hilarious. They’re the S in BRICS, right? 😂
AMD side-channel attack coming soon 🎉
What’s the project here? 50% by 2200? That’s a very slow rise.
Mate, “the West” isn’t limited to Western Europe, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Australia is the same longitude as China. Are you going to say it’s not the West because of that?
Yeah, but not that hard.
You can even put effort into it and look for translations in other languages, combine them, use a colloquialism not found in the standard dictionary, or so many other things.
How is it possible to create many bot accounts? Does steam allow random email hosts with no verification?
The West was laughing and pointing at China. “Look at them surveilling their citizens! So cringe.” Meanwhile, people massively bought into surveillance capitalism, gobbled up all the bullshit about “if you have nothing to hide”, and look where it’s taking us. Yet people continue to buy Google products, swear that Malus won’t ever be evil and store their lives on iPhones and Macs, they vote for right-wing candidates who talk about building walls, surveilling the poor, foreign, and different, and don’t somehow fail to see how their countries are slowly becoming more China-like.
I hadn’t seen that, thanks! That gives me a little hope.
I will never understand why people name stuff just by opening an English dictionary and simply picking a word.
Also why start a browser with C++? Google and Mozilla don’t employ nincompoops to work on their browsers and still say 70% of their CVEs are due to memory management errors from C++. Instead of learning from that, they start yet another browser in C++.
In theory it great that this org wants to make an alternative, and probably being funded by a millionaire (billionaire?) can’t hurt, but C++ man? Come on…
IPA(key): /ni.ke/
Kinda feels like that’s quite fitting for our current timeline.
I’m not the maker of the video 😄 And probably AI isn’t necessary. I wouldn’t use an OS interface that has AI at its core either. Hell no.
On June 6, 2024, this signal handler race condition was fixed by commit 81c1099 (“Add a facility to sshd(8) to penalise particular problematic client behaviours”), which moved the async-signal-unsafe code from sshd’s SIGALRM handler to sshd’s listener process, where it can be handled synchronously:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/81c1099d22b81ebfd20a334ce986c4f753b0db29
Because this fix is part of a large commit (81c1099), on top of an even larger defense-in-depth commit (03e3de4, “Start the process of splitting sshd into separate binaries”), it might prove difficult to backport.
Oh shit, now squash on merge folks can claim “defense-in-depth”.
Always makes me think of this comic by geek and poke
There are valid criticisms, but I do think it’s good thought experiment. COSMIC desktop came out, but it’s not doing anything radically new besides writing it in Rust. I haven’t seen a completely new approach for OS interfaces yet but hopefully videos like this can get a conversation started on alternatives.
First hot take of the day and it’s so damn early. wow.
With all the work you put in, I hope you’ll be able to find sponsors for the project. It is an admirable goal 👍
What’s up with Owncloud? Why did devs leave for Nextcloud? And what happened to prevent that from happening again?
I too dislike that Nextcloud is in PHP, but if Owncloud went closed-source, then opened it up again (not saying that’s the story here), who’s to say it won’t happen again? Putting my eggs in that basket might seem quite dangerous as I don’t want my server to suddenly stop working and sit behind a paywall or something because management decided they want to make a quick euro.
Every post, I see you commenting progress. Respectable! Do you work on kellnr fulltime?
The “what do we even pay you for?” is just like with projects:
“why isn’t this finished yet?”
We have to add tests and make sure we’ve tried to cover our bases.
“that’s not necessary, if it works now, just release it”
That’s not-
“I don’t care, I pay the bills”
Sure thing boss.
*a few weeks later*
“This thing doesn’t work”
Yeah, it’s what we wanted to test.
“Well why didn’t you?”
😐
It’s a keyboard shortcut, that calls a script which pastes the contents of a file into the clipboard and sends keystrokes to the OS to paste (Ctrl+P). I’d prefer if lemmy frontends gave the option of adding a signature, but alas… in the interim, this has to do. There’s no time for me to learn whichever framework they’re using to whip together a PR and have it rejected.
