Ladybird couldn't have come at a better time.

Yeah, that original logo is way better. Kind of reminiscent of the Firefox logo before it got abstracted away into minimalism.

And doing it this way is slooowww in JS

I had an old iPhone where the previous owner had tried to repair it, but when reassembling left out a bracket that secured the camera connector to the motherboard. Dropping the phone would cause the connector to pop out, disabling the camera until I took the thing apart and reconnected it. Opening the camera app would just give a black screen.

> There was a time where unless you graduated from a top-flight school, or were top X% at one of the better state schools, or had some other "in" (e.g. knowing somebody) the cool kids at the time (Microsoft/Apple/Yahoo/Intel/etc.) wouldn't even talk to you

I don't think this has changed.

Could users still access functionality of pages with ActiveX content, albeit in a “degraded” state?

> when was the last time you got complete, consistent, and unambiguous requirements?

This made me cry/laugh. Very astute.

Why not both?

Why not both?

I bought a used Mac Mini for personal projects _only_ for those keyboard shortcuts. They're too ingrained in my mind from using a Mac for my day job.

This is actually what I want tbh

Exactly -- don't resist, replace.

The draw of games is exploring unique new worlds, and gaining a sense of mastery over them. What's not fulfilling about that?

my hobbies are way more meaningful than boosting corporate profits

What I would love is to be able to use modern laser mice with vintage PCs -- I have a Mac Plus which is a nightmare to use because those old ball mice are flippin' terrible.

An amusing moment in my college years was when a roommate was trying to broaden his mind by listening to classical — but unwittingly downloaded PDQ. It sounded _almost_ authentic, but had the classic Schickele twists that gave it away.

Asus' Zenfone line is also pretty appealing -- 5.9" screen on the most recent iteration.

I can watch the whole (insanely expensive to produce) TV series for $16/month.

Yeah, I suppose so. I still always try to convert friends and family members to Firefox with uBlock Origin. The experience is just so much better.

Whoa whoa whoa! You're being way too rational about this issue.

It’s a disaster. The most knowledgeable dev on my team regularly uses ChatGPT to solve typing issues. At this point we’ve lost the plot.

One of the benefits of doing something as a hobby is that it doesn’t need to scale.

> Stop shotgunning your resume to dozens of companies.

Yeah, even with individually crafting the resume and cover letter, my response rate was incredibly low during my most recent job search. After doing that for a while, you realize it's not worth the time/emotional investment.

Capitalism, baby!

During the height of COVID, they were offering remote-friendly positions -- glad that their overall negative reputation stopped me from taking them up on it.

After applying to a faceless mega-corp, I somehow found the hiring manager on LinkedIn and politely messaged them. Totally ghosted me. Later received the customary automated rejection email.

The users expect it! Superior developer experience! Don't question the dogma!

That's a feature!

Right, kind of a “put up or shut up” sort of thing. Easier to listen to/take seriously someone who has actually written the code.
