  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don’t see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.








  • It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

    Using “he” insted of “they” is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It’s like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

    There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.


  • These people started it and are doing it for fun.

    Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

    It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that’s a huge win whatever happens with browser itself


  • It is still young and underdeveloped.

    It is advertised to be simpler, but I don’t understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don’t care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

    Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

    Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing “I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works” I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).

    It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

    I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don’t understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don’t manage.

    In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

    Android is complete shit show.

    It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn’t care about security.


  • If you need CUDA for certain applications in example, its better to use Nvidia.

    Depends on budget. PyTorch works nicely on ROCm and, for me, bigger constraint is available VRAM than GPU speed and looks like AMD has cheaper RAM, comparing their cheapest 16GB cards AMD is 33% cheaper than Nvidia where I live, and there was some card 45% cheaper few months ago. Huge savings if on limited budget.



  • If someone is being finaned by ads, they are doing something wrong. That is not sustainable nor secure, especially if one wants to reamin truthful.

    Ads are used to control media, and are a bad thing. Also ads are not problem, bit random JavaScript executed on my computer is.

    Put paywall (just don’t push it into my search without marking it as paywall), Patreon, sell hats and t-shirts… there are better ways.





  • I am in the linux world 20+ years. Used SUSE for short amout of time back than and never really cared much about it, just glad it still exist.

    This is the first time I am hearing openSUSE is not part od SUSE.

    Having different name should be good for all. I think openSUSE people should have done it long time ago. But sounds like name is not the only problem.

    I don’t have solution for videos, but I am moving back to podcasts and rss as much as possible. I want to be ready when they finally forbbid watching without ads.

    But I must admit content creators are not helping, content for most of them become just job to be done with. I am aware it is not their fault and that yt is pushing them, but content is geting worse.

    It is hard to compete with platform that is loosing so much money. They will also buy anyone who tries. Maybe if we start being satisfied with one resolution and quality, but that will never happen.
