Man, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, much less its title, but when I heard “Throne and Liberty” for the first time, it immediately sounded like something lazily slapped together. I guess, it makes sense that specifically the localization is lazily slapped together.
The thing is, people willing to maintain a fork could contribute to Firefox today, and reduce the development cost, reduce the need for income.
Sure, some people will be more willing to contribute, if it’s a pure grassroots effort, or if they’re left without a browser otherwise, but to just assume that a fork will fix it, that’s wishful thinking.
Chromium is developed by Google. It’s not some grassroots fork with user interests in mind…
It’s probably at least a factor, yeah. They’ve been trying to reduce dependence on Google for a long time, which was always a smash hit with the community (not), but if there’s a very concrete scenario where will stop paying, then the urgency ramps up quickly.
I don’t know, if there’s any hosted instances of it, or how mature it is, but one of the Lemmy devs has experimented with using the frontend of phpBB (basically the software for old-school forums) with a Lemmy backend: !lemmybb@lemmy.ml
To my knowledge, they had some pretty quick successes with it and one might be able to just slap this onto a server right now…
Some e-mail clients, like for example Thunderbird, do also support RSS.
German dogs say “Wuff”. No idea what “Wöf” is.
I mean, that is more obvious and more readable.
But what I really don’t like about it, is that it’s less clear to what it applies. For example:
not list.isEmpty() and x > 3
Is that not (a and b) or (not a) and b?
Obviously, you can define precedence rules, like there also is for !, but that’s again just additional things to learn.
I’m definitely not generally opposed to special characters. I do also hate significant whitespace, because I find that less readable than braces.
Yeah, I’d prefer, if the law said that it needs to be sold only to adults. Making it completely unavailable, because no one has decided at what age kids can play it, is really non-sensical.
For me, it’s pretty much the opposite. With the exclamation mark, I’ll see the inversion, then I’ll read the actual condition and try to make sense of it, and then I’ll remember that this thing was supposed to be inverted. Or I won’t remember, that’s unfortunately also a possibility.
Might just be what we’re used to, though. I have been working in a codebase with mostly .not() for the past year.
Oh, I know where it came from. That’s also why we have all kinds of maths operators in the syntax of virtually any programming language. Because back when we didn’t yet know where this programming thing was going, we just threw in the conventions of maths and theoretical logic.
What I’m saying is that we have our own conventions now, i.e. objects and methods, so I think, it’s worth reconsidering whether we still want to have these old conventions that are special cases in the syntax.
Alright, spicy opinion time: I think, the ! operator is dumb.
It’s yet another symbol with a meaning, which people have to learn.
And it’s easy to overlook, especially in languages with parentheses in their if-conditions:
if (!list.isEmpty()) { ... }
I think that just a .not() method on Booleans is cooler:
if (list.isEmpty().not()) { ... }
You can do this in Rust, which is where I have that idea from: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=dedb71bd84243c78ee0afad0f30b80c3
What the hell, how have I never opened that? 😅
I’ve been using webpages for this, but this is so much quicker.
I feel like there’s just too many different programming workflows, to try to pre-install them.
Here on openSUSE, there’s ‘patterns’ you can install, which are basically just groups of packages, and they’ve got some pre-defined patterns for programming:
I feel like that kind of goes in a more useful direction, although it’s still partially questionable what those contain. For example, the Java development pattern comes with Ant as the build system, when Maven and Gradle are more popular, I believe.
I also have to say that I often prefer installing programming tooling in distro-independent ways, and ideally automated in the project repo, to avoid works-on-my-machine situations.
Of course, something like Git, Docker, VMs etc. tend to be stable across versions, and I might not care for having the newest versions, but even with those, I think it’s good to install them on demand, rather than having them pre-installed. If the distro simply makes it a breeze to install them, that’s ideal IMHO.
A VLAN is very different from a VPN.
With VLANs, you can separate traffic that goes over the same physical wire.
With a VPN, on the other hand, you can connect devices from anywhere on the planet, as if they were in the same LAN, which bypasses firewalls, NAT and all that crap. Presumably, you want a VPN.
I don’t think, there’s a special trick to making them. You can look at existing kaomoji lists and pick out individual symbols to create the shape that you want.
Or you can combine kamojis. For example, maybe you want a cat handing over a flower, but you want it to look sad, like an apology.
Then you find a sad cat kaomoji:
/ᐠ • ˕ •マ
And combine it with the kaomoji you posted:
⠀/\__/\
(• ˕ •)
/ >🌷< \
Well, could be better, but just as an example. Combining different faces and arm shapes and such is relatively easy.
As for managing them, I usually see tags assigned to them. On the webpage that you posted, it’s the little text boxes below the kaomoji.
But in its simplest form, you could have a text document and just write a few words above each kaomoji, like e.g. “sad cat flower”. Then if you search the text document with Ctrl+F for “cat”, this will be one of the results.

There is the concept of a “slowrun”.
Cool, that seems like the best way to handle this.
Yeah, Cargo itself doesn’t deal with any of the bundling after the executable is built.
For that stuff, the efforts are certainly still ongoing. There’s no grand unified tool yet.
If you just want e.g. a DEB file, then you probably want this: https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb
But if you want to do more in CI, then there’s kind of three popular options that I’m aware of.
just: More or less a shell script runner, and kind of likemake.cargo-make: A lot of effort has been put into this, it’s certainly got a good amount of features, but personally not a fan, since it makes you write a custom TOML format and then ideally you should be writing a custom script language, DuckScript. You can also use Rust scripts with it, which we tried, but there was just no way of passing parameters between tasks.cargo-xtask: This is not a tool, it’s a pattern, basically just build your own build tool. It does have its downfalls, you’re not going to build good caching into your own build tool, for example. But in principle I find this quite workable, as you get to write your CI code in Rust. There’s also more and more community-made libraries to aid with that.
