Was there…something particularly offensive I committed by giving someone info. about software such that this necessitated a downvote?
I do imagine the thought experiment is more meaningful to those on the dying end, I’ll give you that.
Yeah…; heh, discovered some things this afternoon. Neither browser was able to load Google without crashing the tab (which, I dunno, could – maybe – motivate me to kick the habit?).
Luakit, on my distro, is v2.3.3 and I tried building to v2.4.0 but the built executable kept saying 2.3.3 for its version. I suspect this is probably more my fault, though.
Why haven’t I tried Qute?
I dunno! Heh, I feel like it’s relatively popular but I’ve also been snooping around the minimal browser space since Uzbl so maybe my perception’s off.
The biggest reason you may not have is it is based on Chromium. At the time I discovered it, the dev.'s reason was due to security issues in WebKit, at the time, but that was also 5–9 years ago so that may not be a concern, anymore.
It’s also built with QT; I generally use GTK so it’s my one gripe but I know it doesn’t bother everyone.
And it’s built on Python (I know that bothers some); but those are the only things I can think of.
It uses the same default layout that Uzbl inspired in vimprobable, dwb, jumanji, vimb, and Luakit so that’ll probably be familiar. Vim bindings out of the box (which I feel like Uzbl also inspired in all the aforementioned browsers; well, I’d guess it was inspired by the Pentadactyl/Vimperator extensions, first).
I feel like it’s the most stable of the bunch, for the most part (which is probably why I keep going back to it). It can be resource heavy but the customizability and fairly stable performance is generally pretty good.
And it got support for uBlock Origin (I’m sure there’s a generic name but I’m afraid I don’t know it) style adblock lists recently with the help of Python’s adblock
library (I hadn’t realized Luakit and Nyxt had support for that until now and it was always by major con, with Qutebrowser).
Right now, there’s a Wayland display issue in suffering with but that’s QT’s fault and isn’t present on v6.8 (but my distro’s still at 6.7.2…); so that might not even be an issue, for you.
I forget why I stopped using Luakit for Qutebrowser…
Maybe I should give it a go, again; or Nyxt. I’m probably more along as a programmer for its setup to be more intuitive.
Truly; it’s shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.
Also Bluesky isn’t an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn’t stealing so much of our publicity lately.
This; I’m so sick of hearing it pop up when people mention alternatives.
I think the weirdest thing I ever saw him do was discuss meeting with Meta when they were working on Threads, get called out for it so he made a post somehow distancing himself from it and saying something along the lines of, “C’mon, guys; I’d never cozy up to Meta,” and then, when Threads started federating, posted a screenshot of being able to see a post from a Threads account from PixelFed and gushing about how incredible this was.
Dude is suspect, for real; glad to see I’m not the only one getting that.
EDIT: just read through what you linked to and wow; that’s so much worse than I originally thought. That’s an inane degree of unprofessionalism.
I hadn’t; any source, by chance (or summarization, if not)?
I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.
Jerry already caught me up.
To those who haven’t heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).
Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.
In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn’t heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they’re wrong.
Ah; I rescind my comments and apologize. I can see the reasoning.
What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.
I’m pretty certain they already consider canola oil in the bad™ group.
