@rysiek I think supporting igalia and the other forces that work on the @servo project would be the best longer term solution.
Maybe the @TauriApps people would build a browser based on servo at some point.
There are also other interesting new browsers like #ladybird but that seems to be more of a hobby project, even though it's very impressive how much already works, but I think servo is more likely to win in the end as code architecture is important in such complex projects.
I'm looking forward to the new #Ladybird browser becoming mature enough to become a viable alternative to Firefox as a daily driver.
I've seen it mentioned that at this time its development is apparently driven by the need to be able to render specific websites and/or page, so I'm going to throw a #challenge that even Chrome failed at rendering correctly until recently:
Nell'ultimo decennio il numero di motori di browser è sceso a due, di cui uno in supporto vitale. Ladybird oltre il duo Chrome-Firefox
Il piccolo team di sviluppo di #SerenityOS è riuscito nell'impresa quasi impossibile di scrivere da zero un #browser
web moderno e completamente funzionale
The W3C, founded in 1994 by web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, has quit X and declared the fediverse to be their primary social media channel. Follow them at: @w3c
@fluepke#W3C has pretty much become a rubberstamp for the #Google-led cartel that is the #WHATWG. An organization that doesn't give smaller browsers like #PaleMoon, #LadyBird, and #Lynx a voice in the writing of specs for web standards like #HTML5 and #CSS3 does not deserve support, and should not be seen as an ally of the #openweb.
"What we normally do is we'll just find a website we want to get rendering properly -- take, for example the New York Times -- and we'll just work on adding all the features needed to render the New York Times, and we'll just do that until another topic piques our interested. It's not the most structured approach, but I think it focuses on something more fundamental, never creating a barrier between the project's development and the communities interests."
This is the way. You can't deny that SerenityOS has been incredibly productive developing an OS and now a browser engine, projects that often wear down programmers before becoming useful in any serious kind of way. You shouldn't force yourself to scratch where it doesn't itch, especially when you're itching elsewhere. #foss
Ladybird, SerenityOS's web browser is one of the youngest browser engines that I know of.
But it does a surprisingly good job at displaying out website. Everything but the navigation menu in the recommendations page seems to render fine. The site is mostly usable.
If you just take a close look you can find all kinds of tiny treasures.
I could do with a little sunshine this year. The weather has been so wet, but the weeds and insects don't seem to mind at all. Enjoy your Wednesday, friends.
This week running, I have seen two snakes, one beaver (who scared the stuffing out of me sounding an alarm with its tail! Twice! ), so many birds (FIVE egrets in 200m today) and so many bugs! I enjoy finding ladybugs much more than eating gnats!
Double long runs done! I'm enjoying taper! I found this training block hard mentally (have I run enough, can I run that far, is this enough elevation) but I have gone over my kilometres and altitude for the last 18 months and the last two races and I am just starting to get out of my own way. I love the physicality of running, I love the meditative state of running, but I also benefit a lot from the working on your own internal discourses that you have to do to run far.
