Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Is it still the midst popular browser in Belarus?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Not since 2013! https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/all/belarus/2014 still has a large presence though. (20% in poland!)

I was wondering why they had an office in ZA*, with a designer and a couple of people that seemed like project and business managers

but that almost certainly explains it.

(* it's in Green Point, CPT. I'm struggling to find an address listed online, "cape town opera" is a not-lightly overloaded term)

This makes me so sad, in the way it makes you sad when you find out a childhood friend has turned to petty crime. I kept using the last Opera Presto build long after EOL because it was so damn good. And now it has all these priors for assault and passing bad $20 bills.

fuck me, imagine having a viable browser engine that isn’t based on Firefox or chrome and then instead of open sourcing it or doing anything at all with it, nah, , pivot to chromium with scam bullshit integrated into it

Same feels here. But fwiw the source was leaked at some point and there was even a thing like this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zero3k/opera-1215/

uh have you tried xydfgq-blurble browser it's my home brew fork of chromium and firefox i call it "chromefox" which is also my fursona

thinking of changing the name to something lighthearted, marketable and non-objectionable like "GNU-Scrotum"

i am the only maintainer and i keep up with 110% of security issues

we are not in the android store as the oppressive statists at google said that if i ever switched on this uh "piece of shit" in a built up area theyd cut my nuts off, but

ignore the FUD about chromefox spilling your bank account and leaking your tastes in hentai and fucking your cat it's all LIES FILTHY LIES by THAT BITCH ANDREW he is SUCH an asshole

anyway free software stallman was right peace out

I just curl pages and render it all in my head. It's easy with my 10 Morbillion IQ

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

the only reasonable way to interact with the web is to write a shell script that mails the source to each page you try to view to the 2001 laptop you insist on using even in spite of freer modern options, I said, reaching for delicious foot skin to chew

Can you give me 10 mormillion iq in exchange for 10 morbillion cents ?

@swlabr @dgerard curl? Coward. I wrote my own client using awk, head and date

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@morrowind I created my own binaries by flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11 though, I don't trust gcc, and neither should you

flipping the switches on the front of a PDP-11

lmao, look at this chud actually trusting random hardware. I only use custom designed, hand made (by me!) computers which I flip switches on to program. I also mine the materials myself, and went back in time to make make sure they were acceptable before being created in a star or something.
