You're doubting someone's ability to create a web browser knowing that they specialize in browser development since the early 2000s?

If this isn't enough to have confidence in them then nothing will.

The dev has 30 years of experience with c++ and a lot of it was on browsers.

He tried to incorporate rust with the help of "JT", one of the original rust designers/devs and according to Andreas it didn't work that well due to the web being too objet oriented or something like that. They both worked together (well, mostly "JT") to create a new safe programming language called "yakt" that transpile to c++, but the project is currently pretty much dead because nobody is really working on it anymore.

If only.

I know about servo. It was pretty much a dead project until they joined the Linux fondation last year and started getting some sponsorship. Since then, they being doing pretty good on there own with personal donations rising by around 20% each month, reaching more than 2000$ monthly. Wish them all the best!

We also have a fork of money, it's called crypto and it's used to sell and buy hookers and drugs. Every fork of something end up used to buy hookers and drugs. Truly marvelous!

I share the disappointment.

1. (BSD vs GPL) Andreas stated on twitter that he wanted to give devs total freedom to use his work because when he worked at Apple he felt frustrated he couldn't incorporate some code/software into his work because of GPL.
2. (Why?) The aim is not to create a chrome competitor, but to make a good enough, truly free browser that isn't either chrome or funded by chrome. A browser made for and by its user's.
3. (Discord) Because of gen-z.

Their rendering engine is already pretty solide (see penultimate video in their channel). Now that their "no third party code" restriction is lifted, they can actually focus on building a browser engine instead of recreating 30 years worth of technologies from scratch.

Lemmy security and moderation features aren't the best. It's better to keep this info personal or it may lead to being on some creep list of potential victims. ( Not referring to OP)

I don't know if you knew this but the banana tree isn't a tree, but actually some kind of giant grass. So a field of bananas trees is technically a field of grass.

Banana is Grass.

Eat grass.

Thanks for the TLDR

As I said, I briefly used gnome in the far past and just remember being weirded out by the design choices that felt very "Apple like" . So them pulling an "Apple" and doing the "we know better than the user" doesn't feel out of place.

I was gonna say that it was a third party extension, but then I thought that gnomes users would infer that pretty easily.

Yeah, Cosmic looks really nice. Their app store interface needs a bit of modernization work, but otherwise, it looks well polished.

2 other responses I got confirmed that such thing happens and you say otherwise. Doesn't Gnome breaks third party extensions that provides users basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place but the devs don't want to implement? Is the meme wrong?

Gnome devs : we broke the toilet extension. Your pokemons have nowhere to shit and piss.

Pokemon trainers : why the fuck is the toilet an extension. Shouldn't it be part of the DE?

Gnome devs : we believe the toilet feature is unnecessary, so it wasn't and will never be implemented.

Note : I've barely used gnome in my life so it's based on memes I've seen about gnome.

Thanks.

Uhhh....wtf is wrong with internet?!? Anyway, thanks for the info.
