From what I've seen recently tinnitus research is moving into completely different direction as it seems related to sleep.

Some of the blue zones were disproven, due to falsified documentation or lack of it.

thanks beejesus! (aka the devs) I'm tired of forcing shit into workspaces just to slightly mitigate these issues

Surely nobody's using them forks which exist for no reason whatsoever.

This makes sense because GUI wise Rust isn't really here yet (but it's close).

The RUST ecosystem barely just started getting into shape on the GUI toolkits frontend... So perhaps save your criticisms for something that wasn't born out of the vacuum.

This is disingenuous. Servo is using RUST, language which grew together with it, pretty much, and all components surrounding it. C++ is how old, please remind me?

I've seen recent talk about swappable js engine, so I'm unsure about the ambition being lost. I'm eyeing Blitz too (actually tried to use it in one of my projects but the deps fucked me up).

What are you talking about? It doesn't have a "browser", it has a testing shell. For a time there was actual attempt with the Verso experiment but it got shelved just recently. Servo is working at being embeddable at the same time when Rust GUI toolkits are maturing. Once it gets embedding stabilized that will be the time for a full blown browser developement.

Servo was passed onto Linux Foundation and is still being developed, some of its components are shared with Firefox.

Servo is slowly but steadily getting there. The thing with Servo is that it's highly modularized and some of its components are widely used by the larger Rust ecosystem, even it the whole browser engine isn't. So there's multi-pronged vested interest in developing it.

Moreover, Servo aims to be embeddable (there are some working examples already), which is where other non-Chrome/ium browsers are failing (and Firefox too). Thanks to this it has much better chance at wider adoption and actually spawning multiple browsers.

Yes and yes. Firefox is partially written in Rust.

AnkiDroid is *just* an interface over the shared core/engine (written in rust nowadays)

Noctalia (it's quickshell theme/env underneath) is to compositor as KDE Plasma is to Kwin. Coincidentally both arr built on QtQuick.

Yup, exactly. As a non-native speaker, I phrase things a little differently. Also, I’m used to using em dashes (from academia), but now that's considered an AI tell. Shit's dumb.
