Nice, that’s like the meme:

Look at how quickly AI put up a webpage for me: http://127.0.0.1/index.html

until some random AI agent

Wait, do they now have spam bots going around on random PRs to post advertisements?

Servo company? It’s an open-source project underneath the Linux Foundation. The Servo Shell source code seems to be here: https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/main/ports/servoshell
It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to compile it yourself, if you really want it.

However, you have to mind that it’s damn near impossible to build a browser from scratch that supports the majority of web standards at this point. Servo does not do so. Most webpages will not be usable on it.
That’s the reason why they don’t care to provide a general-purpose browser interface. Because Servo is only useful at this point when only a specific webpage or specific set of webpages needs to be displayed.
So, generally when it’s embedded into hardware or into a software application, where the user does not have a URL bar to type arbitrary addresses into, and where the webpage to display can be specifically crafted for Servo.

Your way of working is kind of baked into the EWMH standard (which is used e.g. for programmatically sending a window to a specific virtual desktop), in that it assumes there to only be one set of virtual desktops.
I imagine, that’s a big part of the reason why this implementation got delayed for so long. And it’s why I don’t think your way of working is going anywhere…

(Honestly, I think most of the people clamoring for this new feature simply don’t know how to use the ‘show on all desktops’ feature that already exists.)

Well, much like it would be a pain for you to switch each screen individually, it’s a pain for me to enable “show on all desktops” for each window that I drag to the secondary screen. And of course, that still does not allow actually using multiple different desktops on the secondary screen, which is also a legitimate use.

Personally, I have usually 1 screen, sometimes 2 or 3 screens, and 20+ virtual desktops, so yeah, it really is a pain…

I’m not much of a fan of Debian, but in your position would still recommend it. You’ll have enough to learn about from just using it as a server. You can learn about potential advantages of other distros later…

Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it’s highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he’s slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

I’m violently in favor of Big Light™. Really wakes you up, especially the flashbang when you turn it on. 🙃

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There’s for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won’t drink the still water in a bowl.

Can certainly also see why it got named that… 🙃

I’ve been wondering, if you could combine LLMs with a logic programming language like Prolog. The latter is actually able to reason through things, you “just” have to express them in Prolog facts and rules.

Well, from doing a quick online search, I’m most certainly not the first person to think of this, which does not surprise me at all…

Hmm, is the last staff thing just the death message from Sif Muna? I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴

Yeah, in particular, anything close to 100 million users presumes that non-gamedevs will use this. For anything beyond simple variations of existing games, like e.g. “Skyrim with spears”, you need to have an actual understanding of game design. It is not enough to have cool ideas.

So, I really don’t see many non-gamedevs using this. Especially when they can pay less to play a properly designed game.

Yeah, I can understand the frustration when an external decision forces you to disappoint some of your users, but ultimately you have to pick your battles. When neither the Python nor Rust ecosystem thinks those platforms are worth supporting, it’s probably not either worth it for you to worry…

Well, if he just got his tenure at 40, that means he presumably did something else in his life before tackling this path. Him saying the students can just call him Jeff is also maybe linked to him having still been a student until recently. I assume, it’s a case of this being funny, if you actually study history and know a professor like that. 🫠

I think, it’s just used as in “late bloomer”, so someone who needed a bit longer, but now found their true potential. “Bloom” as in the thing flowers do.
