@jwildeboer "[...] beenden sie diese föderale Farce", also gegen die staatsordnung der brd als föderalismus handeln? 👀

@swiley four different browsers sounds like i would go insane quickly :D

@khird i actually really liked firefox right after they introduced the quantum engine. it was a real improvement. the browser itself has only gotten worse from then on. the biggest problem was the new plugin stuff. the rewritte tree style tabs loses tabs.. the plugin author isn't even to blame, they ported it really fast. the new plugin api is just shit.
i just don't really unterstand why the current gecko engine can't be made embeddable like chromes blink. that would really help the web.

soo.. which browser should i use? they all suck in some way:

chome: lol
chromium: not as bad as chrome for privacy but is so dumbed down it hurts
vivaldi: 10/10 features but chome engine and ui is closed source
firefox: tries as hard as possible to be chrome. engine rewrite was really promising, but it's only gotten worse from that point.
brave: another chrome engine browser!!1
dillo: points for trying to be good, but webshit incompatible
netsurf: dito
$qtwebkit browser: outdated chrome engine

Learned from this essay on de-commoditized #protocol/#software, which #dillo browser recommended as MUST read. 🤔

Making sense. But firstly I was quit confused at what **commodity** means in English. Make sense now.

It’s a shame that #UNIX had the nature of commodity but it’s not utilized until the advent of #Linux/userland.

I know almost nothing about programming, languages and these things, but Python syntax is one of the most horrible things I've seen.

Q: How many bureaucrats does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Two. One to assure everyone that everything possible is being
done while the other screws the bulb into the water faucet.

@thor i think it's more because of cheapness first. to get the good stuff, just buy professional equipment. it's the same for notebooks as for nailclipper. most of the time it isn't that much more expensive if you find the right one

geert vanden bossche seems to be rather credible. _maybe_ it would be good to at least listen to him and discuss it rather than continuing the hail mary approach.

@livestradamus i'd just keep my wallet on my desktop & have backups, should be fine for my risk model :)
