@Bec Ya-ay! Gulag can be fun if we can make Tik-Toks, right? 😏
I agree with you! I sometimes take pleasure in commenting on AI-generated imagery or text others post, but I've never felt motivated to generate anything using my own input (except for early chat bots decades ago when those weren't based on neural networks). And I've never realized why. But looks like you pinpointed it: I don't want to be a part of it. Even if I do it subconsciously.

And yeah, watching some vids/movies on low volume does a surprisingly good job, but I've got addicted to that shit and now I can rarely fall asleep without some murmuring in the background. I'm not so sure that was a good idea after all 😩

I can totally relate, same sleep issues here! Working out late is probably a bad idea, it makes you feel energized more often than sleepy if you are already exhausted. Reading is a good idea, I'm not into your circle… No, of course I've read the Bible, but it doesn't put me to sleep that well, old Don Knuth does a way better job. Sometimes my brain says: "Oh, fuck this shit, I'm out" after only a couple of pages in 😁

It doesn't, but if you've got a day job, it's still better than staying up all night 🤷
And melatonin isn't some weird-ass chemical, it's extracted from herbs, at least brands I have here.
It doesn't mean that it's good either, ephedrine also comes from herbs, hehe. But melatonin is the lesser evil, it's nothing like temazepam or quetiapine.

@inference Speaking of Amfora and Gemini — that is the real solution to the problem. Maybe not Gemini, given its non-commercial nature, but some kind of "small web". Web got too bloated, engines too complex — if you aren't big enough you'll lose this competition sooner or later. I don't really want VM with JIT to perform better, I don't want WebAssembly and whatnots, I want my pages to not have that bloat.
I should host my own Gemini capsule and do my own writeup on subject☝
@inference I'd honestly prefer WebKit, but the question is: do sites work? Firefox, while I'm not a fan, is at least not dead in this regard. Even Midori which I was fond of a decade ago uses Chromium now.
I mean most of the stuff I use does work, I've been using TUI-only environment for two whole weeks with gomuks+mutt+tut+w3m(with w3m-img)+amfora+vim+cmus… and I've got most of my bases covered, I've only opened FF a handful of times.
But that's me 😁
@inference Edge wasn't bad, it was Google who forced them abandon it. Mostly by making changes to YouTube. Chrome didn't have any problems rendering that, but Edge did that with inferior performance. The higher ups at MS realized that this cat and mouse game can go on forever and made the decision to butcher it.
I think they had security concerns not to opensource it as it would open door to exploits and not everyone has upgraded to new Edge and they didn't have embeddable WebView2 at the time.
@inference This I agree with!
Unfortunately opensource WebKit is nowhere near to being usable in terms of supported APIs.
MS could have done a good thing by opensourcing old Edge's engine even if they decided to go with their rebadged Chrome. It was still quite usable only a couple of years ago. It still is to a certain degree, I know because I don't have WebView2 installed — I'm not letting THAT touch any of my machines even the poor Windows ones 😅
@gemlog Well, yeah, I know that the US is not all roses and are likely to have money in that game, but look at the marvelous list of countries supporting the guy (from the Wikipedia article). If that's the alternative, then yeah, I'm all for "bending over" to the US. I'm in this camp right now and I don't like it here in the slightest 😅
You can't fight bad people by getting in bed with the devil.
@chadpybara No it's not! 😒
@MKE_BTS Why is it necessary to avoid astronauts having sex though? 🤔
@inference
Good point, but how exactly do I support Safari? I'm not going back to Apple hardware. I'm never going to use anything Chrom(ium)-based either. I'd probably just give up on web when FF dies out. TBH despite its dominance, web does look like a technological dead end to me, it's in way worse state than it was in the IE times.
There is embeddable webkit2gtk, but it is farther from "just working" than FF is. Browsers based on that can't even run web "apps" like Element or Skype.
