Thanks for posting, OP.

So you’re telling me the model cannot consistently run at a profit, even through it relies on a massive unpaid labour force.

I want to view multiple tabs at once, in a split-page view where I can scroll on one tab, then mouse-over to another and start independently scrolling on that one. It’s probably the key feature I miss from Vivaldi. Is there some insurmountable obstacle in the engine that prevents implementation, or is it stubborn devs?

Getting people to attach a(ny) value to it is the biggest hurdle by far. I think the complacent attitude is part genuine incapacity in dealing with abstraction (what is a data profile anyway? How is knowledge of my purchase history a risk to me?) and part exceptionalism/denial. People like this tend never to think in terms of power dynamics.

Like that traffic light on a rural Russian intersection that is always red

I’m sure there’ll be a carve-out to the mask prohibition. I mean, what if there’s protest action a minister/police department dislikes? They need a way for their agents to don confiscated Nazi paraphernalia before joining the event to poison its media coverage, while remaining unidentifiable as state actors.

Better to create a whitelist instead. Webrings used to be popular in the 90s/00s.

https://based.cooking/ demonstrates the way forward. Recipes are text; perhaps a small photo or two as a prep/serving guide, but nothing more than that.

The messaging app front I consider to be a long-term stalemate, mainly due to crippling network effects. Another factor is that strange psychology at play when making app decisions, where a person will have page after page of junk apps on their phones, yet utterly balks at the notion of installing a second messenger.

Even if a large actor (say, the EU?) managed to bruteforce some interoperability into being, I wonder whether that would be to the detriment of small apps in terms of undermining (or even eliminating) their privacy protections. I can use the likes of Session or Simplex all day long, but if the other side of the conversation is on a corporate product like Whatsapp… It runs into the same problem as email.

Perhaps it’s a swap issue?

Towels.

Nah just kidding. It was cutlery.

No, in fact I struggle to use more than 6 out of 16gb. If I knew how to use dmesg (or any logging functionality) I would pursue it further.
