That’s better in all cases. But the original comment sounded like “look how I can go to this authoritarian county, encounter police who would ask me for my phone, and remain free and safe afterwards”. That would not be a good idea.

So you are okay with not getting your phone back from authorities…

That’s not an expectation. The experience is that this became a reality thanks to google, and that it will only get worse in the future. More competition within browsers is the expectation. Better chance for better frameworks to emerge. Eventually it may cause google code to shift into a better overall state too.

When trying to render a relatively simple page consisting few thousands of text lines in a table, any current browser will cause mouse cursor to lag for some time, then you’ll discover it consumes at least 2 GB ~ 4 GB of RAM. YouTube lags like I have 2 cores instead of 16. Any electron app is either clunky or too clunky, also either hungry or too hungry.

I’m sorry but I don’t have time to look up other cases.

I can’t understand how people can continue relying on chrome and derivatives like electron, CEF etc. and not see it as a problem.

The folks who only know JavaScript and refuse to learn more deserve to be blamed for electron’s (and similar) continued existence, and therefore for excessive resource usage.

it’s the most elegant and cohesive system. My favorite example of this is when you send an email with Mail.app. Pressing send plays a whoosh sound effect and it’s in stereo! Discovering these details over the years has been a delight

Omg an app is able to play a sound!

I wonder if it means something for handheld devices like Steam Deck.

It’s cool while it works. But these options are not going to be provided forever in newer hardware. Recent example I saw is the absense of AHCI option in new laptops (you now need additional drivers just to reinstall Windows manually). We need to keep developing software solutions to software problems.

This case is not about pirating yourself but about a tool for creating more pirate copies, which will make it more convenient for end users, whether they will pay for it or not.

The issue you mentioned will likely not hit pirates negatively. As someone mentioned it’s not unique to this Nintendo console, so it’s the result of them not learning.

Wow you are biased. Piracy is a service problem. Therefore platforms with more service issues become targets for more advanced and rampant piracy. Nintendo basically deserved it. Not an honest people’s problem that it takes going that far to make the platform act as user friendly as they expected it to by default in the first place.

We need a community to showcase various UI hacks for Firefox.

No such effect for me. Some cheap Samsung AMOLED here.

What?

Did someone think about backing up the commit history? I believe it can be useful for future devs.

Installs are nothing. Fork it. Improve it. Even better if original devs would still contribute.

through business savvy predictions.

More like through shoving its solutions onto everyone around.

And nope, “earn” is a wrong word.

Yes the availability will remain an issue but at least I imagine that solving other issues could make it less serious.

More specifically, the issue (a feature too but still) with torrents is how spread they are. It’s difficult to know what is available and in what condition. There are dozens if not hundreds private trackers etc. This all makes it more likely for new torrents for the same content to be created multiple times, and overall seeding resources to be spread out across multiple versions of the same things. Some centralized public index might have helped everyone find things faster and prolong those things’ availability as the result. What such an index might need to stay damage-proof and useful is unrelated to this discussion, but I imagine it might work as some blockchain and thus may not require much in terms of resources.

I didn’t mean syncthing itself but some theoretical derivative that would have relevant features.

It would help to involve a kind of software infrastructure where users would choose how much resources (mostly disk space) they are willing to give in order to contribute to the overall availability of stuff.

A different, better protocol for sharing. Torrent is cool but files on it tend to die off, and also can’t be updated. I’m thinking something like syncthing might be the future.

The performance is really bad though, can’t see it improving any time soon. Maybe it has to do with how it relies on wasm.
