Putting my vote in for this feature as well... Also, why not compile VNC into WASM and get full remote desktop experience for graphical apps. It seems that hard work has already been done!

Still rocking Dell Precision M4400 from 2009 with Intel Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M. Arch + XFCE + Nvidia drivers from the AUR (not in main repos anymore). On my 5th battery pack and 3rd wifi module. Runs like a champ. Replaced CD

It will make web scraping impossible. You will not be able to install any software that can do that because it won't be let in to app stores (i.e. it will never get the right keys and permissions, websites won't even respond to it

What about `skim` - integrating it as a library? fzf is nice, but it is external - you have to pre-install and configure it.

I disagree with "bloat" comments. First, the binary will only have stuff you use. Secondly, the fact that you are not writing from scratch code that someone else had more time to write and test - this is a huge plus. I'd use

Awesome alternative. I've been using Shaarli for a very long time. Very stable, always works, everywhere works. Doesn't look fancy, but reliability is off the charts.

Didn't EU freeze all Russian dollar accounts? That basically means Russia never gets those dollar payments. Why would it keep delivering gas for free? Does that "contract" even mean anything then? By switching to rubles Russi

There is also another differentiator - companies buy insurance for all employees (i.e. in "bulk") when if everyone were to buy it privately, insurance companies will have to sell it in "retail". As is always the case wit

I think there is a difference between features of the editor and editing method. Following your logic - if there is already Notepad, why create TextPad, Atom, Word, VSCode etc...

A couple of times i found myself clicking on various text labels just to see if it is a title or a button. All these flat minimalist designs are a step in a horribly wrong direction.

I am surprised by this shortcoming of Calibre image. I guess the trade is learning how to install calibre vs. learning how to deal with docker. I'd also agree that even if you use docker and installation is easy - for any self hosted a
