I am a fullstack typescript developer with 7+ years of experience. Team tech lead experience. Rust and Go curious.
Deeply interested in technical excellence and making things better for users and coworkers.
Firefox is also a solid option. Firefox is one of the few stable options remaining to use a non-Chromium based browser. Most popular Chrome extensions have Firefox releases as well so you may not even lose that functionality in a switch.
Advocates for Firefox frequently point out that part of how we got here with the Manifest v3 issues is by consolidating browser technologies. Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc all use the Chromium core which is part of what gives Google such a strong ability to influence web technology developments to their advantage and our detriment. If this is something you care about then it may be worth voting with your feet and giving Firefox a chance.
Is it just that the password autofill feature uses bitwarden under the hood, but you can't actually use a bitwarden account? If so, that should be mentioned/documented somewhere.
> But we understand some folks want to continue using third-party password management across browsers and devices. So, we’ve teamed up with Bitwarden, the accessible open-source password manager, in the first of what we hope to be several similar integrations. In the coming weeks, Bitwarden users will be able to activate this seamless two-way integration in their browser settings.
Back in the old days, Disney and other animation studios rotoscoped actors performances by drawing over the original image (by hand) each frame. It won't be long now before you just have an artist create a few examples of concept art, and just video the performances of the actors without much / any special setup other than maybe wearing a tracking suit.
How many years away are we from the point where you can just type in a script (or just put in some writing prompts and have an AI generate a script), describe the direction for the actors ("bend over and pick up the bucket", "exit stage left"), and then just churn out a movie?
If you pick up just a little bit of skill with animation, compositing, and such you're a one-person movie studio. Crazy times. This is not what I imagined the future was going to look like, but it will be entertaining.
Forking projects just to add type definitions, or else mega repos like DefinitelyTyped madness; bringing all of the terrible complexity that we love to hate in Webpack/ESBuild/Rollup/etc back over to Node.js with server-side tsc; drive-by PRs to all my open source projects from inspired people trying to add types and me having to disappoint...
I would gladly do without all of that. To me, I see the TypeScript tradeoff as coming with only marginal upside, in return for a large downside as described above. But, others passionately disagree and see a huge upside, and that's cool.
In the end, I want us all to be happy, and I think this proposal would have hope getting us there. For this to be really spec'd and standardized would be a green light even for skeptics to invest in deeply learning and internalizing. To get to avoid yet another build-time compilation step would be bliss. To have us all back in on the same team would be glorious.
For example, I once was debugging an issue in a JS framework and while I knew what was wrong and where I could fix it I didn’t have any idea what existing tools I had available in that context to fix it. Having type definitions would have made that work much simpler by increasing the accessibility of the code base.
It’s experiences like this that have convinced me that if I’m writing code that any one will possibly read or need to modify later (including if it is just me) then I should be writing TypeScript instead of JavaScript. Or, more generally, that it should be typed.
I tend to prefer 1080p for this reason on 12-14" screens. My Thinkpad X13 gen 2 has a 13.3", 1920x1200 screen, windows sets it to 150%, which seems ok, although Ubuntu works well for me without scaling still. The Frame work laptop has an even higher res (2256x1504). I do hear people scaling the fonts and that seems to be a nice solution... I remember from back in the old days that I never really liked the look of this.
What do people think of this? I'm hoping that in the future you can choose the screen (and easily get replacements as well, I hear they are working on that).
Edit: I hope these issues are being addressed by established DE's, I'm assuming they won't be an issue on Canonical's (hypothetical ;)) Flutter based DE that's (obviously ;)) coming and on System76's Rust based new DE for Pop OS [0].

Often choices are made for short term benefits that come with a long term negative trade off. ie choosing features like a phone camera even though the device also disregards the user’s privacy.
In other cases, choices aren’t even made by consumers directly. Like when a company acquires potential competition before they’re able to grow into a threat. Or even a company uses their growing economic power and position for regulatory capture.
Sometimes a company just breaks away from their competition and end up the only competitive choice in the market and are able To cement their position through the means above.
Especially following the previous cases, users sometimes don’t choose at all because there remain no meaningful choices in the ecosystem they purchase in.
“Spirit”ual. You cannot be Spiritual without belief in Spirit. It is in the word itself.
You can be a good Atheist however that is mostly in line with good spiritual practices.
Atheists seem to want it both ways. To believe in nothing but also define themselves as “Spiritual”
For example:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160818051131/https://www.samha...
I'm not superstitious (after all, it's unlucky to be superstitious) and I'm not even sure what spiritual means as I've never heard a coherent definition.
I get my sense of awe, wonder and beauty from the natural world, whether that's star gazing or studying and appreciating nature.
I'm probably an outlier but just wanted to add my voice to the conversation.
> Theological noncognitivism is the non-theist position that religious language, particularly theological terminology such as "God", is not intelligible or meaningful, and thus sentences like "God exists" are cognitively meaningless.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theological_noncognitivism
> Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the word "God" has no coherent and unambiguous definition.
