I’m a huge fan of bootstrap and I feel that writing CSS from scratch is much harder.

many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same

This is like asking for people to stop engaging in capitalism. Good luck with that.

I would argue TRON OS and its variants are in more devices on the planet than Linux is.

the interface is not near as slow and clunky IMO, and it’s always broken when using JShelter extension for me

IDK about “still” since you can disable the GIL and also use multiple threads/processes, but I get your point. But rust is certainly not the only other language that can bring more efficiency or parallel performance, was my point. Yes it allows you to use multiple cores, but so do many other languages, including python.

Being built in Rust allows server workers to use multiple CPU cores for superior performance

that’s like saying “going outside lets you breathe air”

OTF also funded Signal… I wonder why they left that one out.

Can you name any private trackers that actually have a need for federation?

The biggest issue I personally have with BT (v1) is not being able to search for a file by its checksum. I think v2 can do this, but almost nobody uses it in my experience.

And even if the game did greatly benefit from it, most people are already using esync/fsync in lutris/proton/etc. and so they also won’t really see a difference from what they’re used to.

I prefer to stick with the original C version.

What you’re doing is filtering out bots that can’t be bothered to execute JavaScript. You don’t need to do a computational heavy PoW task to do that.

Most bots and scrapers from what I’ve seen already are using (headless) full browsers, and hence are executing javascript, so I think anything that slows them down or increases their cost can reduce the traffic they bring.

Canvas fingerprinting filters out bots better than PoW

Source? I strongly disagree, and it’s not hard to change your browser characteristics to get a new canvas fingerprint every time, some browsers like firefox even have built-in options for it.

Proof of Work is a terrible solution

Hard disagree, because:

it assumes computational costs are significant expense for scrapers compared to proxy costs

The assumption is correct. PoW has been proven to significantly reduce bot traffic… meanwhile the mere existence of residential proxies has exploded the availability of easy bot campaigns.

Canvas fingerprinting would work.

Demonstrably false… people already do this with abysmal results. Need to visit a clownflare site? Endless captcha loops. No thanks

Definitely don’t visit the toxic comment thread there… wow

I don’t like the approach of banning nonresidential IPs. I think it’s discriminatory and unfairly blocks out corporate/VPN users and others we might not even be thinking about. I realize there is a bot problem but I wish there was a better solution. Maybe purely proof-of-work solutions will get more popular or something.

Proof? And by what metric? That has not been my experience whatsoever, nor have I heard any complaints about either of them.

xrdp and x11vnc is rootless

I would bet it’s more likely emotional breakdown from cyberbullying.

I refuse to support kitty solely based on kovid’s absolutely deplorable attitude. I lost count of the number of people I personally talked to who wanted to contribute but then decided not to after seeing how toxic and abusive they were to users in the github issues.
