If I liked using the mouse more (or if I wasn't on laptops most of the time), I could probably really get into #Haiku. It's a neat little OS, and has a workable command line, IIRC.

Just no disk encryption or even local security model (very 90s home os ;)

But something that would be fun to run in a VM.

Same goes for #SerenityOS, a Unixy OS with a windows 9x aesthetic. It also has a custom unix shell that looks kinda neat.

Teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de problemas que hay en software de código abierto por culpa de contribuciones hechas por LLMs la postura de los desarrolladores de Ladybird me parece la adecuada.
Ahora lo que les falta es dejar de usar GitHub.

Ladybird Browser ends public pull requests due to AI and security concerns

Ladybird Browser will stop accepting public pull requests, limiting code changes to maintainers. The move addresses AI-assisted risks and open source security for browser users

The Ladybird browser project is betting big on AI to accelerate its C++ to Rust port, aiming for unprecedented development speed. While impressive, this strategy raises critical questions about the long-term stability, maintainability, and the future of human contribution in open source. As the article states, 'You can accelerate code porting, but you cannot accelerate true understanding or the…

Managed to install #serenityos on my #thinkpad T60 (bare metal!)

I’ll get a write-up on the whole process once I tinker a bit more 😃

#TIL #SerenityOS has its own #Shell, and it's rather interesting:

Me:
> Also why they decided to start from scratch, instead of forking at least some components of a working libre browser

Again, further reading has allowed me to answer my own question. SerenityOS was an itch-scratching project where the goal was to try out entirely new approaches. One of the reasons for spinning Ladybird into its own entity is to move away from that, and start making use of existing code where it makes sense.

"I love SerenityOS, and I love the community that has formed around it. I don’t want to hold it back anymore by being a distracted BDFL. This is why I’ve also decided to step down. Effective immediately, SerenityOS is now in the hands of its maintainer group. They’re a lovely bunch of people, and I trust they’ll take good care of it."

Ladybird forks from SerenityOS - Ladybird

Announcing the split, and what it means for both projects.
