What has been driving me up the wall the last month has been build systems and dependencies: don't get me wrong; meson is great but the problem is not everyone uses meson.

The average consumer isn't going to toss out a good computer they bought if it can't run Windows 11. They're certainly not installing Linux. They'll keep using Windows 10 for as long as they can. I've seen way too much of Windows XP still running on people's computers, if it can still browse the web, access emails and look at Facebook they're not spending money on a new one

Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s

Bad enough I had to use Chromium to get to that stage, just imagine what they'll do when Web Environment Integrity comes out

DHMO pollutes our rivers, water supplies and our bodies. Everyone who has died has had some form of contact with DHMO, either as a pollutant within their body or in the environment. Some people even drink it because "scientists" say we "need" it to survive.
