I still to this day is baffled by all the idiot geniuses who thought it was OK to have "Please enable javascript" when opening a website without JS enabled. A good chunk in many pages are just static content. You should be able to render HTML. Ashte!

Here you can see Arch users in their natural environment

I don't like MacOS. Everytime I talk about setting up a custom PC, people say - buy Mac Mini. No. I don't want MacOS. It's soooo slow workflow wise. I was literally behind my manager for 2 whole years to get him to move me from Macbook Air 11 inch to a linux laptop. He was ready to give me Macbook Pro 2016. But not a Linux laptop, in an org which had them. And I went over his head to get a Linux laptop there. The slow workflow MacOS had. My goodness.

But people always argued that I used a subpar Mac device as slow as Macbook Air 11. So you didn't have the full experience. blah blah blah. Guess what? I use a M3 Macbook Air with 24GB now. It is still is as bad as it was back then. And after the glass update, I has become abysmal. So no. I'll just get another Linux computer. Not a Mac. The only time I will voluntarily choose MacOs is if I had to choose between Windows and Mac. Then I will choose Mac 100% of the time. Or if I had to ever develop for Apple ecosystem as well.


Sorry for ignorance, but what workflows do you have that an M3 24gb mac feels slow? I got the basic M1 air and it still works fine


It's not the hardware's fault. It's the software that I don't like. This was the case before and after Apple silicon.From the window management to how I need to setup my computer, everything is slow in MacOS. The UI interactions, how the apps needs to be managed. Everything. I am trying to make it faster. It's not customisable the way Linux is. Maybe I need to be a bit more clear, it is slow FOR ME. Not to mention, after the glass update, I find it very hard to use with respect to UI.


I've been waiting for their Polaris edition for a while now. It looks like it is still not released. But am gonna learn Emberjs one of these days. It will be my secondary framework for projects.

We need more LTS versions of dev tools like emberjs, django, node etc. And am a fan of their RFC process as well. It looks like this is the framework you use if you want to incrementally improve stuff without having to go through radical shifts between versions.


Exactly. The below reply to you also says the banks were bailed out. "So people were right".

How so? Big corps got home safe. Not the people. People committed suicides and lost their livelyhoods.


the worst she could say is no


> If it's such a superior product that people want despite the tradeoffs, why don't they just fund a company to create such a phone? Why doesn't anyone?

That wont solve the problem of carbon footprint this is trying to solve? There is still going to be iPhones and samsung phones of the world in EU. And people will buy it. Unless you want EU to go full autocratic and enforce people to use just 1 phone manufacturer!

Last 4 phones I had, 3 was replaced cos of old battery and 1 was due to broken display.

Imagine you not being able to replace the SMPS (Power) in your custom PC even though your ~$2000 worth of hardware which includes GPU, CPU and motherboard is working perfectly fine.


Also, hilarious that you cannot talk unix to it cos there are a lot of kills and executions. :D


If you have XFCE4, try this:

    xfce4-terminal -e NonExistentCommand
The first time I saw the error message, I laughed out loud.


You made me switch on my lap 4in the morning. But worth it! :D

Also, when my Arch installation went down, it said:

ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device. Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.

And I thought - Thats everyday as an adult! :D


I just used the site on Firefox Mobile. And it works BTW.


30+ second load on Safari and Firefox Focus and neither load. The initial loading animation shows up, followed by a blank page.


It works on Firefox Focus as well. No lag or 30secs wait. Maybe it's the internet? Wait, am using Android. You said safari - 30+ secs. Do you use iPhone as well? Then it could be safari browser engine's issue.


I check by curl the JS, It looks like this tries to load a massive amount of GPU code, badly ("WARNING: Multiple instances of Three.js being imported.") to provide background animations after downloading 3MB of scripts.

I test in Chrome on Mac; Sometimes when I reload there are Three.js conflicts, like if one loads before another and clobbers it, sometimes it works but rarely.


Same for me on mobile Safari. Loading animation then blank screen. How does one screw this up?


Come on, cant you tell? LLMs will crawl your website over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN!
