Global keyboard shortcuts, copy-paste, window position save/restore, screen recording, probably a few others I’m forgetting. I know some compositors implement these, but they aren’t part of the Wayland standard so it’s a bit hit-or-miss afaik.

“Here, switch to this software! Except it doesn’t support half of the features of the old one and it never will. Why? Uhhhh idk security or something. What was that? Will we add a way to securely allow these things? Lol no”

async function reverse(str){
    return ChatGPT.ask(`Please reverse the string ${str}. Reply only with the answer, without other words or symbols.`);
}

I’d recognize those buttons anywhere

Oh no don’t make me install this

Gnu’s Not GnuPGP

This is all true, although I don’t think it warrants saying that it’s worse than PHP.

It’s always the type coersion. Just use === and 90% of the “footguns” people complain about go away.

I’ll bite. Why JS bad?

What I mean is, makingg a UI more intuitive does not necessarily make it more… Gnome-ey? It can still be effective, customizable, etc.

It’s not always a zero-sum game.

“The UI is unintuitive” is a legitimate complaint

A good number do, but you won’t hear anything during normal operation. If your vomputer has ever beeped at you when you try to turn it on at 0% battery, accessed the bios, etc., there’s a good chance that was the motherboard speaker.

Neat!

But if we hide the complexity, surely we won’t ever have to deal with it! /s

Funnily enough I do use NixOS for my server! It’s not quite what I was describing but it does allow me to host easily.

Someday I hope we have a server technology that’s platform-agnostic and you can just add things like “Minecraft Server” or “Email Server” to a list and it’ll install, configure, and host everything in the list with a sensible default config. I imagine you could make the technology fairly easily, although keeping up with new services, versions, security updates, etc. would be quite the hassle. But that’s what collaboration is for!

And the only thing more important than readability is whether or not the code does what it’s supposed to do.

Isn’t that exactly what Rust is supposed to be good at

This would somehow be worse than JS
