Exactly. Surprised to see 'just don't let them find you' so far down when it should be the first advice.

Thinking machines were finally defeated and will now be prohibited.


Finally found the person who was the target audience for garbage consoles claiming 30fps gaming is the norm. That makes one. :D


Ublock seems to work with this one.


Yeah, I didn't even see the popup


> When we will pretend a drawing api we can call directly from webassembly?

Hopefully, never. There's enough ad-blocking arms race as it is.


You confuse marketing websites with productivity apps, google docs, figma and many more already render on a canvas using webassembly or not. It's a matter of exposing the right tools


There's friction to doing it this way right now, though. You lose out quickly on accessibility, SEO, performance and developer experience (you need developers that are more experienced).

Unfortunately, thinking about it in terms of game theory [0], I believe this is a good thing: I don't want most websites migrating to canvas-like APIs for rendering. My web browser is my agent and I'd like it to mostly render DOM-rendered pages with CSS styling and, perhaps, funny JavaScript that doesn't track me around.

Also, I wish Figma and Google Docs were just offline-usable desktop applications. Both are great _products_ and I use them, but using them on a browser tab makes me unhappy.

You can have programmatic apis for accessibility, SEO pages can be dom based, performance of figma is better than if implemented via the dom api, developer experience? you just get the best and stop pretending you have capable people that spend a day on discussing effects in react.

> My web browser is my agent

It's very likely not anymore, otherwise Chrome wouldn't have pushed for manifest v3

> I wish Figma and Google Docs were just offline-usable desktop applications.

I wish this too, but since we have decided app distribution to be web based, we need serious tools for making serious apps


   > stop pretending you have capable people that spend a day on discussing effects in react.
Figma uses React for the UI panels. Google Docs uses the DOM extensively too.

   > have pushed for manifest v3
I don't use Google Chrome.

   > since we have decided app distribution to be web based
No one has decided this, it just happened because web browsers were in the right place at the right time. It's not set in stone and developer tooling for the desktop could easily revert this trend in a decade or so.


> Figma uses React for the UI panels. Google Docs uses the DOM extensively too.

Tangential uses of the dom, the core app is on the canvas

> I don't use Google Chrome.

Who cares? They have an almost monopoly and they dictate what to implement on the web, it's already happening that many sites don't work on firefox because they've been only optimized for Chrome. And btw Firefox will implement manifest v3 as well. If you're not using Firefox or Safari you're still using chromium. We don't even have the capability anymore of developing alternative browser engines, the spec is a monster and the various attempts are still very far away.

> No one has decided this, it just happened because web browsers were in the right place at the right time

Exactly and since this is the current reality I don't see why we couldn't have better browser tooling for rendering near native stuff like we do on desktop frameworks. Developer tooling for the desktop already exists since ages but web folks have injected desktop apps as well with bloated stuff like electron


Doing just fine calling most of the american insanity for what it is. Beating apple and the likes into submission and making them produce actually somewhat good products.



Because wireguard to tailscale is like git to git GUIs. It's solid base but never should be used separately without a proper wrapper if one wants to keep one's sanity.


But are there any good self-hosted wrappers?

I ditched wireguard for tailscale for the ease of managing it. I'd much rather run my own independently but CBA with the config editing hassle.


tailscale is self-hostedable


I can understand why that happened at least remotely. If you do all those things they refused 'officially', it might be easier for stupid government idiots to paint it as a dangerous illegal tool.

Adding the necessary hardware while refusing to support arbitrarily iLLegAl things is the best of both worlds.


This. Many legit, but questionable features blown out of proportion already caused many issues with regulators who just don't want to get into details, but just delist from sales/ban the device.

And once you start talking about "jamming" and other 1337 h4x0r stuff - which is straight up illegal and can get you into trouble - on official platforms, don't get offended when that gets removed.


Sure. I get why you don't want the skids jamming. But hell, it is still in your github commit history. Your all historical work was that of a attacking hacker toolkit. Jamming proves that.

Now, that absolutely does NOT excuse Adkins on the discord from people asking how to get the PSK for garage door openers, and emulating the buttons. And especially since it was being asked by owners of said doors.

But you banned people with legitimate and legal uses too.

Good riddance to you all. I've stayed with 3rd party and steered others towards better actors than yourselves.


Its not only intimidating, its clunky and error-prone. That's the answer to OP's question, this podman thing does not have good UX story.


Or, to look at it another way, the answer is that it’s the developers who don’t want to learn something new that, objectively speaking, might turn out to be better than what they’re used to.
