Sometime after 2000, we forgot the dangers of overengineering.

The password thing is because Evolution is made for Gnome and needs gnome-keyring plus some Workarounds on anything not-Gnome.

Btw, can we please have a universal keyring with alternative frontends already, just like portals?

That said, it’s pretty hard to build a responsive web app without at least a little bit of JavaScript.

Not really. You just need to learn the difference between width and max-width.
I do UserCSS now and then and 2 of 3 sites use them wrong. That and position: fixed overuse. Also, use @media (min-width) only for layout changes, not for sizing.

And also, functionality/layouting first, design after.

"But CSS sucks”

I believe a lot of the negativity towards CSS stems from not really knowing how to use it. Many developers kind of just skip learning the CSS fundamentals in favor of the more interesting Java- and TypeScript, and then go on to complain about a styling language they don’t understand.

True. I did a HTML+CSS-only gallery when CSS3 just came out. And was positively surprised a few days ago, that a online gallery viewer had a shareable URL per picture (GET request).

While JS forms should just die. They always lose the content on reload or failed send (because of brittle client-side JS send, instead of using age-old browser-features).

On the plus side, it’s much easier to understand from a security model perspective

Lol, no. Way more code in Systemd. Also more CVE per year than in some bad (now dead) init/svc’ lifetime.

Openrc, Runit, s6, dinit…

Poettering’s new startup:

Btw, i’m stealing your summary of browser monoculture, alright?

There are now multiple alternatives that do a better job at what Systemd does.

What is it always with Systemd-is-the-only-alternative (vs. SysV scripts)? That’s 15 years out of date.

Also, you don’t need sockets.

Systemd usually can’t be in the same repo with other init systems/service managers (or with shims and hacks) *, while they themselves happily coexist. This is the Reason that there are non-systemd distros, not some unreasonable hate for new thing or anything.

* Yes, except Openrc, which was made as a drop-in for Systemd.

The day i had to debug DNS issues was the day i ditched systemd.

The face he makes here…

It’s a blog.

Windows upbringing.

But why has my perfectly fine painting program now less menu options and more bugs? At least there’s still pinta-gtk3 in the AUR for now.

Meanwhile, i look for community fixes and hacks the moment i get a game shared. More of a here-for-the-story player.

There is a use for Electron.

Not sure i agree. They take a engine made to render a Document Object Model and shoehorn GUI widgets on it, no? At least, every Electron tool i’ve used was laggy, heavy and reserved GBs of RAM.

And what, you count the major webbrowsers not as heavy and bloated?

But also Rust can’t replace skill. A ruin in Rust is still a ruin. But it can help make the ruin more secure.
