I don’t find inclusion repulsive… I find it repulsive that many projects are now more about identity politics and virtue signaling than about, well, the project.

I don’t think that the maintainers are less inclusive… they just don’t want virtue signaling and flagwaving.

Remember this times?

Let’s wait and see

I simply don’t like Wayland and the “old” X11 had not gotten the attention it needed. So, the fork was the right way for me

I recently switched over and i am quiet happy with it… so, i hope not

Well, I personally have a soft spot for the gopher protocol and the community that formed around it… it’s in a way the better internet

Honestly? It is.

Getting a understanding of what you do is something that is moving towards “lost arts” territory regarding everything computer related. Yeah, you will not get the solution to your problem THAT FAST, but if you find out why the thing you want to do did not work and understand how to make it work you will benefit in the long run.

Do “the stuff” on the server, only serve HTML. In my first job we build a whole webshop with very complex product configurators that would today even run perfectly fine in dillo.

JavaScript is needed to actually build anything useful

Tell this to the people who build things you would call today a “Webapp” with CGI written in C.

Well, if you want some really interesting experience i would recommend trying out Edbrowse, but for a really good day to day experience i personally really like Lynx: Most (for me) relevant pages work very well with it, it has a seamless gopher Integration and the UI hasn’t changed (much) since i first used it in the mid 90s.

Why use Lynx? Well, it keeps away all the crap that makes the web unbearable since people started plastering their pages with blinking ad-banners, and today it is an absolutely great way to get around paywalls and read pages and articles undisturbed.

If you only use software that is created by people you like… well… i guess your only choice will be an abacus…

I am no jew, i am a German christian and i recognize the patterns the so called “Palestine supporters” are using to spread their hate for Israel’s actions towards jews. You all who celebrate that this ship was turned away would have been proud Nazis back in the day. Think about yourself and think about where you would have stand in the 40s.

Funny you… you can separate Greece and its population, but the same rule doesn’t apply to Israel… really funny…

Are those soldiers or politicians on the cruise?

Removed by mod

In reality, what Chromebooks provide is a reinvention of the good old mainframe and terminal principle. In theory (like my recent - half joking - 9front comment) this is something that would be really easy to set up with nearly all Linux systems and especially immutable ones.

My take would be:

Put an sign up / sign in form as a “first boot” message in a distribution of your choice where you can specify (or have pre-filled by an organisation) a central server (could be something fancy like Nextcloud or something simple rsync based) where your whole profile folder gets synced to. After that: If anything goes kaputt just roll back the sync. Or “powerwasch” (to keep the ChromeOS terminology) the system to a clean state and re-sync your home folder.

In theory something that could all be implemented with a little scripting in an afternoon.

Just to set the record straight:

It very much did.

Do you think every SS guard, every SA man and every Wehrmacht soldier who was participating in atrocities was prosecuted? Nah, i would argue that only perhaps 2 - 5 % (if ever) of the participating officials where put on trial and only a low number of those got harsh sentences.

9front (with enough volunteers and a modern browser) could be exactly that.

sigh

Perhaps they would not be afraid of the community… but what about organized crime?
