RSS! But you can't make a personalized timeline with a pull model, and that's where the money seems to be.
I think finding where the money _isn't_ is a fun way to find interesting projects.

I wonder, seeing the immense growth in 2023/2024, how that correlates with the ladybird project, which officially started in 2024.
Could Manifest v3 be the reason we have so much fresh air blowing in the browser ecosystem or does it just stem from a general unhappiness of said ecosystem?
I think that Ladybird has driven a lot of the effort, otherwise we'd just see browsers continuing to use Chromium with backports to allow v2 being worked on.
Ladybird was already progressing rapidly within SerenityOS well before it was officially launched, and I think that's given people a new inspiration for how plausible it is to create a browser from scratch. I'm really pleased we're seeing Servo having a resurgence too.
Where is this worry coming from? (I'm curious, not shutting it down)
I might be biased from having worked with production F#, but it feels more like functional is making its way into C#, as the general industry sees value in functional principles. So F# feels like its more here to stay?
Doesn't it feel like the functional stuff is coming into C# so that F# can disappear? Pure speculation on my part but doesn't seem unreasonable.

Can you point folks to specific models?
I've got a QinPhone candybar style phone, there are Japanese flip phones that work globally too.
I wasn't able to make the switch, I find that having a good camera on a phone is too much of a convenience.
I really want to like Ghostty but:
- Still no ⌘F for find.
- No way (that I know of) to select previous output or specific string and copy with only keyboard shortcuts.
- No ⌘. sending CTRL-C (muscle memory and being advertised as native to the Mac is what one would expect).
- Fonts still don't render as nicely as in Terminal.app. I've fiddled with `font-thicken-strength` and it's close, but not quite. Probably impossible or very hard to replicate due to its Metal rendering nature, but when all you do is look at text all day, it matters.
Search in scroll back is coming in 1.3, unfortunately that's going to be 6 months away.
There's a lot happening in the Ghostty app though, check out the 1.2 release notes

I had a _really_ in-depth conversation with a friend with multiple interesting lines of thought going at once that only worked because the chat we were using had a per-message reply feature. The conversation would not have been as meaningful to me otherwise. I'm not sure IRC could have supported a chat like that...
(admittedly I haven't tried anything other than a few basic IRC chats, never really getting deep into IRCv3 or new features and stuff)
I can appreciate that per message replies are handy in modern messages. But if you were having _such_ an in-depth conversation at the peak of IRC, you may have moved to email to make it async and allow for more fully thought-out replies.
Email is still a great way to communicate with people today.
Creating a Mastodon account shouldn't mean supporting the particular political affiliation of the moderators, but I think it feels that way for many of the instances.
