yes, very true! Anubis is a hell lot better than cloudflare turnstile or its older cousin sister google recaptcha.

Cool, loved this! These tools would be needed in the near future to manage the tech debt safe rust is compounding.

It should have been /shr for shared resources rather than unix shared resources (usr) to prevent people from confusing it with something related to user

opem··on The Insanity of Being a Software Engineer
exactly, also these days coding is not about creativity or fun anymore.
opem··on The Insanity of Being a Software Engineer
couldn't agree more! these people who are not that passionate and build software for a living tend to care less, and when we care less we do more. also rarely they come up with crappy solutions, that might not be good but work. making things even harder for the passionate perfectionists.
opem··on Show HN: Lux – A luxurious package manager for Lua
finally, someone did it! luarocks was never an intuitive solution, and I feel this unintuitive ecosystem is one of the reasons for lua's low adoption.

opem··on Gosub – An open-source browser engine
That's the point. And if the maintainers still want to consider this, I feel that should be done right.

> Isn't this how generative models are supposed to be used?

Might be, or better just use the name as the logo. At this initial stage no one expects to see a good branding I guess.

I've recently seen lots of low effort, sketchy looking projects using "sub-par" quality AI generated assets...and in turn when I see these kinds of images used in some project it really just shows off "put least effort to get things done" mentality...I feel.

> certainly some reasoning would be more constructive than a smiley face...

I already gave the reasons there.

> I didn't share the same feeling.

Just a personal opinion.

> I don't know if it is a compliment that my website design skills match the ones of AI or if it is more an insult

Neither, it has nothing to do with design. I just wanted to point out that putting an AI generated logo, and writing vague statements like "optimised search and unlimited browsing" seems unprofessional to me.

opem··on Gosub – An open-source browser engine
It's true that the complexity of these kinda projects are enormous, but considering chrome/webkit's monopoly in the browser space, I feel we should always welcome and appreciate alternative efforts...regardless of the project's outcome.

P.S. the website and the probably AI generated logo is giving a sketchy vibe about the project :)

opem··on Experimental web browser optimized for rabbit-holing
I was just thinking about something like this yesterday XD
