Curious what you meant about the effect system BS?

The advantages of a networked supermarket fridge are abundant: being able to load shift the energy usage to use energy company incentives and save money, centralised maintenance and monitoring, being able to integrate with other systems in the store, and probably loads more I can't think of. Flatly decrying internet connectivity is a tired cliche at this point; the focus should be onto securing it to reduce risks.

> After all, React is a Graphical Abuser Interface Toolkit

This seems unnecessarily primitive and hyperbolic. In what way is React like that, anyway?

Yeah, I thought so -- I imagine quite a lot has changed behind the scenes. It does seem much better than Tahoe, though.

Yikes, that accessibility bug is bad LOL. It seems a bit like Linux in that way: certain bugs hang around for years. I always found that with Linux, you could either use an LTS and stick with the same bugs for years, or try your luck with a rolling release and trade them for new ones. Anyway...

I've just started leaning more heavily on the window switcher (moved it to Lcmd) and it's made me so much faster. Had rcmd for ages but never changed it to that; it solves the problem of "where the hell did I put that window?!" when I try to organize stuff into different spaces. It's a better candidate for Lcmd too IMO: I very rarely wonder where I put a random window of an app (and after all, if it's already open I usually want to choose a window), but I'm always switching between certain windows of one app, like Safari. Swiping back and forth between desktops was a nightmare!

I use rcmd daily (and have just taken the time to dial in the configuration, it works even better now!) and I have to say that it's wonderful. It makes using the computer so much faster and easier: with window scripts too, it's like magic.

There were some teething problems on Golden Gate: keystrokes didn't seem to make it to the rcmd popup, but your recent remediations seem to have solved it. It's a beta OS version too, of course :-)

This looks like a local AI model playing Snake -- is that correct? The article offers no explanation.

Maybe, yeah. It did seem a bit slower around the 400 mark, though -- there are definitely limitations.

> I routinely have 50+ tabs open

For what it's worth, I've been known to have 300+ tabs open all in separate windows (I just forget about them and they tend to accumulate), and for the most part it handled it just fine (it did use quite a lot of RAM, of course.) That was on an i7 7700k with 32GB of RAM.

I remember being quite impressed indeed.

I'm sure I got malware from there, once - it seems rife with illegitimate apps.

If anything, it seems more poised to damage the usability of systems which actively rely on Aurora Store, like CalyxOS and the likes. Graphene actively discourages using Aurora.

That's great from a user perspective, sure.

From my perspective, with all of these different web APIs, I imagine Mozilla are walking a tightrope: if they refuse to implement all of them, there's a good chance that websites will ask the user to use Chrome, pushing it further into obscurity. Go too far, however, such as implementing Google-driven proposals like Topics, and you weaken the privacy advantages of the browser.

I'm glad that they take both a moral and technological stance here - someone needs to.

> I frankly do not need the hyper paranoid security features like a hardened memory allocator

I get the part about disabled root - you're choosing to sacrifice freedom for security - though I don't understand why you wouldn't want a hardened memory allocator. It provides additional security over the stock OS for very little cost (slightly more resource consumption), in an era where we absolutely need as much security as we can get; what are you losing by gaining this?
