Can I just say it’s hilarious you marked this NSFW, it is quite literally NSFW

I wonder if they’ve fixed their IPv6 stack, last I tried Haiku I couldn’t get it connected to the internet because it was so broken. I should try again since they seem to have done some networking fixes.

In contrast to most people here who talk about solutions to this problem with tooling often used for batch deployment what I’ll say is just my opinion on the matter. Outside of OEM or fleet deployments the advantages of nix just aren’t that apparent. You feel like your system was a house of cards but I’ve personally never felt that way and I suspect neither have most other users. Every OS to ever exist more or less behaves in a similar way, i.e. it’s mutable, so most users have only ever known this behavior. Installing software and then having to configure it in a software specific way is the norm across all existing computer platforms for all of time and for most situations it’s worked well enough. It isn’t nearly broken or painful enough for most people to care. Honestly if nix was the norm for Linux it might even scare away windows or Mac users looking to move. Linux is already a learning curve and completely changing the software installation and management paradigm(beyond using a package manager which can conveniently be explained like an app store) would not help the situation.

The problem with that thought is the lower level bits are very *nix but all the higher level bits like the GUI and other surrounding APIs are all heavily Objective-C/NextStep based and aren’t really all that unixy. We do have GNUStep as a base to use for that to an extent but I really don’t think the unix parts of Mac, are that helpful to porting complex user facing GUI programs.

Tbh I’m not an apple person either. The comment about macOS being on 26 caught my eye and I went and did some research.

Darling is a cool project but I think the reason it hasn’t taken off is because there isn’t a lot of software people both want to use on Linux and software that isn’t already covered by wine. You need an overlap between those 2 and that’s a small market

Looks like they’re jumping from 15 to 26, in fact they’re doing the same thing for iOS, jumping from 18 to 26 for the next release. Looks like they’re synchronizing all their OS version numbers using the year they’ll be primarily used(i.e. 2026) from what I can find.

That makes so much more sense lol

What do you mean when you say it spits out real windows code?

It’s slightly amusing that with X.Org slowly becoming totally unmaintained that every WM is gonna end up in this category as Wayland compositors displace them.

My assumption has always been that Google pays Mozilla for 2 things.

1. to have them use Google as the default search engine, with this Mozilla doesn’t even have to send them your data because you as the user are effectively giving it straight to Google
2. to keep Mozilla afloat so the US DOJ doesn’t claim they’re a monopoly because Firefox exists. Ofc that’s now happened anyway so we’ll see what happens.

I don’t believe Mozilla ever sold user information to Google but I of course could be wrong about that. I don’t have a definitive answer.

When you searched using Firefox what search engine did you use?

Why write a server in rust? Java is already memory safe 🤔

I refuse to go to sites that do this, I also refuse to go to sites that block adblock…and specially the sites that detect and block private browsing, that one shouldn’t even be a thing
