They did not miss anything. They just used commas where periods should be.

You can run a command using run0. It’s only elevating that command. Sometimes it's needed to login as root. It’s life.

The way it is written, semi-colons may be more appropriate but that would be a lot of them.

The reason videos are so inefficient for him is because he has to take so much time on each one to complain about it being a video.

This is an interesting post. I know the YouTuber you are talking about. I do not really like him but I would have considered him harmless. It is interesting to get your take.

Mint is great and quite popular. So, if you are going to make a YouTube video saying otherwise, I guess you have to go out of your way to come up with reasons why. I am sure that makes it sound worse than it is. Something to think about.

I have distro preferences too but most of the differences really only make a difference to those already using Linux. It is a bit like arguing about Ford vs Chevy in front of people that have never seen a car ( or truck ). In the grand scheme, they are both amazing and mostly the same thing. To listen to a fan though, one is God’s gift and the other is trash. Same with Linux distros.

Well, you clearly did not read mine. At least, not the part where I addressed exactly that. I do love these opportunities to brush with genius.

“I do not think you can say Servo is backed by Google”. How did you get your question from that?

I wish it was not C++ but their implementation is quite interesting. Not only is it modern but they wrote their own standard library including error handling right down to the main function. It is quite nice for C++.

All that came from SerenityOS. I hope they do not lose too much of it with the split. I mean, the Ladybird Project Leader authored most of it ( their C++ framework ) so it will probably stick. Harder to do when you start using other libraries though.

Well, it could be genuine altruism. But I doubt a web totally controlled by Google sounds good to a company that relies on the semi-open web for its business.

This is a bit like Valve liking Linux I imagine.

I am still trying to decide what I think about the Ladybird / SerenityOS split.

Short-term, this is going to make it a lot easier for Ladybird to make progress. So good.

Long-term, I feel like a lot of the values that Andreas used to express about SerenityOS have been compromised.

I very much liked the, everything from scratch and complete harmony within and complete control over our whole stack idea that came with the mono-repo.

I also thought that the energy from Ladybird was greatly contributing to SerenityOS. That is lost now, as is their chief architect, technical steward, and community organizer.

Much of the low-level performance work that went into Ladybird benefited the whole OS. Did SerenityOS even post a monthly update on YouTube this month? The community engagement has already been dampened.

SerenityOS was certainly benefiting from the networking, codec, and image format work. The biggest impact will obviously be the loss of what was emerging as an amazing native web browser. They cannot even use Ladybird now due to the reliance on so many third-party components. I guess it forks from where it was?

How is error handling done in Ladybird now? It was beautifully consistent before. What now?

Though I am a big Rust fan, I think Ladybird is evolving fast enough that my money is on Ladybird to become a true daily driver first. The biggest obstacle to that is JavaScript as Ladybird still uses its homegrown engine ( very slow ) and Servo is integrating SpiderMonkey.

Ladybird just got a million dollar shot in the arm. We will see what becomes of that.

Despite the Mozilla origins, I do not think you can say Servo is backed by Google. The claim from Ladybird is that it is the only browser not financially supported by Google.

I would say that Servo is corporate backed at this point and Ladybird still is not ( backed by donations only ) but with large donations by a single donor, we will see if Ladybird is able to stay completely independent over time.

I actually do not like Discord and wish they did not use it. That said “absolutely no reason not to use Matrix” is clearly an objectively untrue statement.

Andreas has always been very pragmatic. He will choose the tools he likes best.

Wait what? Telnet? I am guessing cybersecurity is not one of the classes available at your school.
