> Not sure if it’s possible to treat enemies better than that.

If you can't imagine how, that says a lot about you.

You could have lived 200 years. But instead, people decided they'd rather invest in crypto or LLMs instead.

Maybe humans will still be here in a century. But you won't be. It didn't have to be this way.

I don't see how they are actually exclusive in the long-term. Crypto investment isn't that big, and LLMs, or AI in general, may provide support for better treatments, thus possibly allowing people to reliably live onto 200 years.

All code is deleted alone

Reskin isn't quite right. Vivaldi offers a ton of amazing features that Chrome would never dream of having. For example, tab tiling is excellent and criminally underused.

I literally can't function on the web without Vivaldi, for me it's the only usable desktop browser. What problems have you encountered?

Switching tabs doesn't work like you would expect in Opera for example. The order of tabs gets shuffled randomly. It's completely broken. I downgraded to a version where it had worked, stuck with that for a while. When I complained about it people usually say "just use it like chrome where you can't switch tabs properly anyway lol". It was reported with the precise version that broke it. Vivaldi team asked maybe twice on social media, but then it was just tumbleweeds. It's 100% reproducible with a clean install, on both windows and osx. I gave up and preach for people to just stay away from that browser.

Is this what you're talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1XoTNV1qFY

Thanks Chrome for ruining web in yet another way. LRU is THE default for virtually every windowed and tabbed application, then Chrome comes and fucks it up. Now we have a video talking about a "fix", and likely not a single user in Vivaldi even using the default (because they would notice it's broken). Kinda hilarious.

> fundamentally inferior to Linux

The UX/UI of Windows 98 is far, far ahead of whatever Linux DWM we have today. It's nowhere near close. My KDE is usable but everything feels off, from icon shapes and sizes to mouse cursor icons, mouse cursor speed, the way settings are organised, almost everything. And it's not a matter of habit, as I've been on KDE for years, and I kept trying to make it work. Windows just clicks out of the box, it's more comfortable.

Microsoft, once upon a time, put an enormous amount of money into creating a user experience that makes sense for a maximum amount of people. Even though this experience suffered enormously over the last decade, it's still better than everything else, including OSX. And I'm not praising Microsoft, everyone else (including Canonical) is just that bad.

> How many hours has Zoom put into making the client stable on Windows and Mac?

Users don't really care, do they?

I'm not talking about that. I was replying to a claim that Zoom is less stable on a platform, as if that somehow happened for free and not as a result of a team tracking and fixing bugs on the application side, likely over the course of years.

git is not "the fundamentals". It's a tool that's very difficult to learn but we are forced to use because "it won" at some point.

Git's difficulty is NOT intrinsic; it could be a much better tool if Torvalds were better at UX. In short, I don't blame people who don't want to "learn git". They shouldn't have to learn it anymore than one learns to use a browser or Google docs.

Git isn't fundamental, but version control is. If you're doing development without it, you're making a mistake.

You're likely using a VCS, which is likely git (or jj, hg, fossil, tfs, etc).

Therefore, you should know how to use whatever you're using. It shouldn't be "invisible" to you.

> Kicking kids out to play

There's cars everywhere, cities are optimised for them. There's nowhere to kick the kids out to play without the risk of them being run over by a car.

Not only that but also farmland is heavily industrialised. It's not Farmer Jenkins on a horse or a 1800cc Ferguson tractor any more.

This is why we moved to https://youtu.be/r-TuGAHR78w , where we kick our kids out to play routinely. Sadly it’s the last bastion of sanity in a carbrained world

You could share the road with others, you know? You weren't born behind the wheel.
