I do not have a problem with people owning Teslas sold before 2020 or so. Even buying an older one used is no big deal in my opinion. If you buy a 2021 Tesla today, none of that money goes to Musk. You are not agreeing with him. You are not propping him up.

Even now, the Leaf only goes 200 miles. Less than a 2018 Model 3. Not good enough.

I agree, Tesla was the viable option fora long time. The charging network is part of that even still.

The NACS connector is a big deal.

There are already aftermarket batteries. The biggest problem would be autobody panels.

That said, while I hope Tesla stock continues to crash, not much chance of them going out of business.

If you were an EV early adopter, Tesla is the only brand that delivered the range.

So, they were the only game in town for a lot of buyers.

Not nearly as big a problem now. Tesla has real competition which is why sales are crashing.

I am going back to /.

Recognition but not love. They will have no money.

Ah. Gotcha. Agreed.

Ladybird says 2026. Given the current state and progress, I believe it may be quite usable by then. I use it sometimes for basic surfing and leaving forum comments. It works surprisingly well often though it is still far from general use. I think the dev team tries to use it themselves for things like Discord and GutHub. They did a demo last month where it “almost” ran Gmail.

I am not sure that Servo has set a timeline. I expect it to take longer.

I prefer permissive licenses but how do they reduce legal risks?

Servo is developed by Igalia at this point. Mozilla is not involved.

Quite happy to see Servo coming along again. I am still excited for Ladybird and it seems more likely to deliver a truly viable browser sooner.

I am not a Swift dev but I think it has decent memory safety as well. I think it is one of the reasons Ladybird is moving to it. They evaluated Rust and decided it lacked the OOP features they needed.

The C++ that Ladybird writes is also very good. They have their own standard library (written for SerenityOS) which is very modern including memory safety and security. Still C++ though of course.

Except the businesses run by people

Thank you for suggesting we not harass anyone. That is a lot better than I have seen elsewhere related to this.

Basilisk is the odd one out here. It is a continuation of pre-Servo Firefox ( Firefox before Rust ). It is not exactly a “new” engine.

Ladybird is probably the most exciting project as it is most likely to create a new independent browser suitable for daily use.

Servo was very exciting back when Mozilla was heavily invested in it. Sadly, it was long dormant. It really seems to be heating up again though so that is awesome.

Mozilla is not really associated with Servo anymore.

I would be surprised to see Firefox move to Servo.

Gecko is of course Open Source. It is also pretty much the oldest browser engine code base and written in C++. Servo is modern and Rust. Gecko started at Netscape.

The other problem is that Gecko is hard to embed.

If usability is the goal, then ReactOS is not the answer.

Emphatically agreed

Are you hoping to get upvotes for “crushing”?

Not sure what you are saying here.

Regular Mint is based on Ubuntu. It is perhaps the most user-friendly distro.

LMDE is Debian based but includes all the same user facing tools and features.

I do not use Mint ( not a newb ) but it is a great distribution and great for beginners.
