It's so much better than any of the extension-based XUL interface hacks. As soon as they can figure out when to auto-expand the sidebar it will be perfect.
When’s the last time you used an extension of such kind? Sidebery for example doesn’t seem hacky at all to me.
Interesting... I asked o3 for help writing a flake so I could install the latest Webstorm on NixOS (since the one in the package repo is several months old), and it looks like it actually spun up a NixOS VM, downloaded the Webstorm package, wrote the Flake, calculated the SHA hash that NixOS needs, and wrote a test suite. The test suite indicates that it even did GUI testing- not sure whether that is a hallucination or not though. Nevertheless, it one-shotted the installation instructions for me, and I don't see how it could have calculated the package hash without downloading, so I think this indicates some very interesting new capabilities. Highly impressive.
I find that so incredibly unlikely. Granted I haven't been keeping up to date with the latest LLM developments - but has there even been any actual confirmation from OpenAI that these models have the ability to do such things in the background?

bool3max commented on Building a BitTorrent client from the ground up in Go (2020) blog.jse.li/posts/torrent... · Posted by u/stevenmh
It is easy to make a torrent client, but very hard to make a good torrent client. A very good, or let's say "perfect", one, needs to support multiple transport protocols (TCP, "uTP" aka UDP, "WebTorrent" aka WebRTC), multiple discovery mechanisms (DHT, PEX, HTTP trackers, WebSocket trackers), multiple torrent formats (v1, v2, hybrid), should use the network optimally (max the speed without overloading the network - IIRC some clients measure average packet latency and if it starts going up, put some backpressure), resolve magnet URLs, set up port forwarding, reconfigure firewalls, offer API for *arr stack, be a good netizen (report stats correctly, send packets within the specs, do not spam - otherwise other clients will blocklist your in their code or config), implement many BEPs (mutable torrents are cool), be able to recover from interrupted state based on only the data that's on disk, have configurable downloading order (people want to start playing videos before they finish downloading, so you may want to e.g. download header and footer of each file first), and ideally detect duplicates between torrents (cross-seeding). And then there will be people throwing 2TB+ torrents at it (e.g. TLMC) to benchmark it, and saying your client is "literally unusable" if it doesn't handle it.
So, building a "perfect" torrent client from the ground up is a daunting task. But the "good" news is that nobody built such a "perfect" client just yet, so if you have some spare months of your time, you can take a shot at it. Or even better yet, open the issue tracker for one of popular clients or libraries, and add one of the missing features from the list above.

Which of the qualities you listed are lacking from the currently most popular torrent clients (qBitTorrent, etc..)?

I see comments like this a lot actually and I'm curious, if the client is manipulating the intended style and layout of the site, do you really think it's the responsibility of the website owner ?
Otherwise I'm confused why you mention it.
In this case yes because the website itself has a dark-mode toggle in the top right corner, and in its dark mode, the images are not visible.
I hope this will mean that in the long run Firefox (and other secondary browsers) will gain more users again. For me, Firefox is a solid piece of software. Works well in strict privacy mode, with uBlock Origin and Multi-Account Containers.
