USA is such a weird place these days. Is there a way back to sanity once this administration ends?

Growing up we watched Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie almost every week. Happy birthday Mel, thanks for all laughs and grotesque which shaped us.

Tell me you don't see the value in the tax as a way of discouraging people from ordering a pair of socks from the other side of the globe, while they can buy them locally?

New comment by kubafu in "Leaving Mozilla"

First of all thanks for posting what's on your mind and everything you did at Mozilla. Sorry to hear you are burnt out, hope you get better with time.

I've been a loyal Firefox user since forever - reading, writing, web dev I do is always in Firefox. It's a first app I always install. I'm grateful Firefox exists, and the world (at least mine) would be much worse if it wasn't around.

I don't like Mozilla is taking money from Google - I'd prefer if it was all community driven, to the point of a community owned co-operative, but I'm probably delusional.

Yet, I'm hopeful for the future.

In a parallel universe - UK never left EU as Scotland, Northern Ireland, and City of London kicked out England and Wales out of UK, and saved everyone years of turmoil.

I thought you were joking so I went to check it myself and... unfortunately you were not. That is insane.

My default editor for the past couple years. Love the simplicity, speed, and the fact I can navigate comfortably with just the keyboard. Plus Elixir LSP integration is a cherry on top.

Same. I clicked the link expecting a story about actual honey.

Also GNU grep doesn't claim to be intelligent.

This will be another upgrade for my dev machine running NixOS since 17.something times. Thanks to all maintaines and release managers over the years for such solid work!

Never heard of it, please tell me more about using it in plant breeding!

Same story from a month ago. The moment I saw the sheer number of dependencies artillery wanted to pull I gave up.

Came here to write exactly this. IMO it is the big reason what Valve is as a company.

Couldn't agree more. To me 3D environment in games is frustrating to control / move around while 2D is straightforward. And I truly don't care about camera movement. Games are meant to be fun, not a chore with adjusting camera all the time.

kubafu — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 09:04:18 +0000

Big fan of htmx here, so thanks for opening my eyes to a new way of using it with service workers.

But man, 10MB Go WASM download? That's a no go. It's not only about downloading it but executing on a clients machine over and over again. But I guess you can handle those requests perfectly fine just in service worker using pure JavaScript.

This but let me choose over what period I want news summarised. Daily is too often, even week is (at least to me).

Let me open the app once a month and see a summary of what has happened over it.
