I did write a android app for my SO, rather over engineered - but I had fun programming it and SO uses the app daily. The thing is, the app was in ReactNative and I didn't regularly update the codebase with current ReactNative versions so, to get the app running on a newer Android version I had to either go through the pain of updating the app or rewrite it. I didn't really have the time and energy to rewrite it. So a few weeks ago I just gave it a shot and provided Claude Code with a few screenshots, description of functionality and it basically one shot the whole app. Now I am building new features SO was missing and currently also developing a backend.

> Depending on how easy it is to run Linux on this as opposed to the new MacBooks may make this attractive for Linux users.

Why? Just to get ARM? Buy a brand that actually works with the kernel and distros to get their hardware working with linux. Get your money to the people that actually help the software ecosystem.

When you spent premium, put your money where it makes a difference.

The article linked here is a consequence of the actions taken against the repository linked by OP, not a more 'credible source'.

The file linked in by OP, is the main argument by Pawel Jarczak why his fork does not violate any copyright laws (may it be written by/with help of AI or not).

When I check google.com I get a 94% score? Kinda ironic no?

Social media has hit rock bottom a long time ago. Everything else is just digging even deeper. Problem is, people keep consuming that crap and wonder why nothing is changing for the better.

Thanks, that are the insights I was hoping to get.

But the question still remains, why did Igalia pick up a dead project?

I doubt you'd invest that kind of money/time into a project without a good reason. I am not saying that ladybird or manifest v3 are the reason, I just notice a lot of new energy in the not-just-chrome category and wonder what the other reasons might be.

Andreas Kling is pretty open about his reasons to have started the ladybird project and I just know Servo from his monthly videos and a few other sidenotes, so I was surprised that it gained so much traction after being basically dead.

I wonder, seeing the immense growth in 2023/2024, how that correlates with the ladybird project, which officially started in 2024.

Could Manifest v3 be the reason we have so much fresh air blowing in the browser ecosystem or does it just stem from a general unhappiness of said ecosystem?

Awesome! Something that I had on my todo list the past couple of months, because I also switched from YT Music to Navidrome + Bandcamp. Feels great to own your music again.

Thanks for sharing your work!

uBlock seemed to have handled it for me.

Yeah of course, technically that is true. Still when talking about e2ee in any context it implies to the non technical user: The company providing the service cannot read what I am writing.

That's not given in any of those examples. In the case of ChatGPT and this toilet sensor e2ee is almost equivalent to 'we use https'. But nowadays everybody uses https, so it does not sound as good in marketing.

I knew I've already seen this. Seemed like a great tool then as well as now. Will definitively deploy it on for my personal file server. Just haven gotten around it.
