Web rendering engine written in Rust

I’m so excited about the “private space” feature

I guess I’ll just add them to my mental list of companies to avoid.

😆 mental ?! I already have my list in my browser bookmarks

VC funded, not exactly a community project, I’m skeptical, and worried about it’s future

It’s my go to messenger, idc about the crypto stuff, it’s just a way to reward volunteers who use their servers for all the mathematical conversions, and I have been thinking of running a node myself, to make the network more decentralized

It has some downsides though, you can’t send larger files than 8mb, and if you lose your recovery phrase, you’re compromised, and you can’t edit messages

I used to tell people to use Signal or Element, but I noticed many can’t even sign up, Session just generates a random ID for you, and voila…

Storyboarder ( but I haven’t tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

like WWE wrestling ?!

these 20 people are awesome :D

Sketchup is paid software, the web version is free but extremely limited

I have used Sketchup for more than 4 years, and after looking around for Alternatives to use on Linux, the only thing that can do the job is Blender, it’s not just for animations and 3D printing, in fact blender can do anything you can imagine, if not by itself, then by the addition of addons

Out of the box, Blender doesn’t behave like Sketchup, but it can do so by enabling some preinstalled addons ( like Archimech, Measure it, Precision Drawing Tools, Stored Views, Auto Mirror… Etc ), also there are free and paid addons on the Blender Market

For modeling Blender is waaay more powerful than Sketchup ( but SU is much more simpler and I find myself using Addons - in SU - for the stuff I can do in Vanilla Blender directly )

For Printing: they both suck ( in a paper printing use case ), if you wanna print in Blender you’ll need to export to a 3rd party program like Inkscape or LibreCAD, or use an addon

Sketchup printing is just painful, save a view, save the file, fire up Layout, import view, then print…like why ?!!

Piped and Libretube stopped working for me, they’re requiring sign up now, it’s sad :(

good comments are upvoted for a reason and I wanna see those first… before scrolling to the bad takes… haha

One of the best cases for building a versatile tool, is accessibility to less privileged populations, for example people who can’t efford to have a reliable Internet because of their shady ISPs, they need a browser that renders web content as fast as possible, and also because they can’t afford to download apps due to slow internet speeds, Flatpaks could take gigabyte of HDD space and you have to update them later, which is painful in other parts of the world

Even if the user had a reliable Internet and solid hardware, maybe they’re a security minded individual, and want to keep their app installs to a minimum. To them many apps are considered bloat and that’s dangerous.

I think the difficulty lies in wisely choosing what features to include, before your users start asking : hey, do we really need that ? Or : who uses that ?

that’s why listening to feedback is so important

that’s interesting, I’m not sure I understand the idea, do you want the browser to monitor the mobile app time usage ( Jerboa ), I’m i correct ?

That would also look cool, aesthetically speaking

firstly, there’s always some security and plenty of privacy mischief around focus.

Oh, how so?

i’ve actually played with this in the firefox debugger and it essentially appears feasible so really hope this feature comes oneday - or i finally get some time to look into making an addon for it

that’s cool, yes a browser should stop using resources when you stop using it ( minimize it ), or using that particular tab by making it inactive, chromium based browsers behave like that if I’m not mistaken

that’s a quite pessimistic stance, yes I do agree that web browsers are complexe and hard to maintain, but they can do more than viewing websites, you can play games, draw art, video chat, PDF viewing and editing, you can do a lot with just one app… that’s the beauty of Web browsers… The problem is in the Ad business model…

saying: “no” sounds rude… maybe something like “no, go touch grass” that’d be better

That’s not a hard proof, people keep saying Intel ME and AMD PSP are potential backdoors ( key word: potential ) and this argument is good if we’re arguing about: which is the best ISA, an Open ISA ( RiscV ) or closed ISA ( x86 )

I was asking for a general example, I know that Mediatek chips included a backdoor but I only found one article that talked about it … In french…

Mobos : I think it’s MSI ( I could be wrong ) that installed a piece of software through a Bios update, which showed they have privileged remote access capabilities ( I couldn’t find that source, sorry )

Another example would be ASUS and Gigabyte Mobos, now the initial source says it came from the second hand resellers, but no one confirmed that… which is scary… because that would mean it came straight from ASUS and/or Gigabyte

I was asking for incidents that you came across that could demonstrate the presence of firmware backdoors, saying having too many bugs is not a good argument, because all software has bugs.
