I mean, that’s great, no? You don’t have to use an account and on top of that you don’t get that ai bs.

It sort of looks like if Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were going to pop out from that thing

What is stopping someone; say the FSF or some other group championing libre software from coming up with their own web engine completely different from the incumbent engines?

Seems you’re not aware of stuff like Servo, which some said was supposed to be the replacement of Gecko, and it’s being written in Rust. But Mozilla ditched it and gave it to the Linux Foundation where its development is reeeaaally sloooooooow.

Afaik The Linux Foundation gives next-to-nothing, if not nothing, to its development. But despite of all of that it seems it has increased its pace (compared to the time it was just given to TLF) and has got donations and stuff.

But a browser engine is an absurdly huge piece of software and it will be a miracle if projects like Rust (or Ladybird, which I just learned it’s targeting its first alpha for… 2026!) get backed by big corporations and their pace gets quicker.

Call me stupid or whatever (seeing the Reddit toxicity that has got into Lemmy I’d be surprised if this has no downvotes!) but I do think Servo has the potential to be a serious contender to the hegemony of Chrome/Chromium in the long haul. The Linux Foundation seems to have enough resources to propel its development and reach that goal, but they just choose not to nor seem to care at all. So yes, unless a miracle happens we normies can only choose between Chrome/Chromium, Firefox or something Webkit. Maybe even going absolutely radical and using Konqueror with its KHTML engine, if you can.

I mean, that you couldn’t get past drive partitioning doesn’t make it difficult to install for everyone.

Not knowing how anything works

I mean, that’s how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works

Being scared by errors that you don’t know how to get around or deal with

Isn’t that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don’t know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever

Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly

See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can’t imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´

Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

Wasn’t that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that’s nothing short of incredible

A meme is never late, @nilaus@lemmy.world, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

For what it’s worth, r/Bogota has never had those - and if it had, it would be just incels living with their mommy who barely know their own neighborhood. It’s ridiculous how they’re so detached from the reality of our city and country.

Studied electronic engineering for two years - the group I went in was like 111 dudes and 7 girls. Some dudes enrolled in electives from faculties like nursery or dentistry because the boys/girls ratio there was inversely proportional as in our faculty.

It’s been great to be honest.

I just wish there was a couple features for when creating a submission or a comment:

1. Picture drag and drop - when adding a picture to a submission, you could add it by dragging it and dropping it to the dialog that shows up to pick a picture (also maybe adding a picture by its URL address would be great);
2. When replying to a comment, you could create quoted text directly by selecting the text from the comment you’re replying to, so said selected text will show up as quoted in your text input area when you hit the reply button - Reddit does this and it’s a nice feature to have versus copying, pasting and editing it so it turns to a quoted text

Bootstrap is highly opinionated imho, i.e. it’s great if you want to do something that lies within its style or else you’ll have a hard time. If that’s your case, and of course if this is a possibility, you can consider moving to another framework - say, Tailwind.
