What’s His Age Again? Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus (Now 53) Looks Back.

Oh, no! Ich wundere mich gerade, warum alles so schrecklich aussieht unter X11 und habe jetzt .Xresources entdeckt. Das lag da seit der Erfindung von Computern in meinem Home-Verzeichnis rum.
Weiß überhaupt noch jemand, was #Netscape ist? Und der #BLINK-Tag in #HTML?
Das braucht man ja heute nicht mehr, da macht man einfach 7.000 blinkende Gifs auf die Seite.
I find it very odd when people refer to ‘two main browser engines’, those being Gecko and WebKit.
Do people really think Blink hasn’t diverged significantly enough to consider it another engine at this point?
#GNOME Web is truly independent from #Google. Though still dependent on #Apple, they don't have as much power as Google. It is still better than a Google monopoly. And #webkit is developed with proper APIs and meant to be embedded in other applications unlike Google's #blink.
One big feature missing is support for audio / video calls (webrtc). With #BoringSSL switching to Apache 2.0, a big blocker for webrtc support is resolved.

We see that we do have options, that we may have many #browsers, but only a few #browserengines.
Wether you're using #Vivaldi, #Opera or #Brave, it's the #Blink engine.
If it's any of the free browsers made for #Gnome or #Plasma, or #Safari for #Mac and #iOS, it's #WebKit.
#zenbrowser, #librewolf and #floorp are based on #firefox (or the gecko engine) and are safe refuge for people defecting from Firefox.

So, this might seem small, but it's a really cool step forward for #Verso browser (using the next gen, #Rust based, #multithreaded, memory safe @servo engine rather than #Chrome's monopoly #Blink or #Mozilla's #Gecko engines).
They got tabs!
Doesn't *every* browser have tabs? Sure, but others are basically just GUI's slapped on a couple of pre-existing engines. Verso is rebuilding the browser from the ground up using #Servo and #FOSS, even for the #UI.
Early shots fired, #Blink/#Webkit!
I would beg you to reconsider. Not for Mozilla's sake or even Firefox's sake, but for the web's sake.
Having all web traffic come from #Blink-based browsers gives implicit ownership of the web to Google. We're already 76.5% there, but every percentage point from this point on will be increasingly bad.
I'm not saying that the alternatives to Blink are plenteous, or wonderful, because they're absolutely neither.
But to me, supporting a Blink hegemony by using a chromium-based, electron-based, or even qtwebengine-based browser is a total non-starter.
That's the primary reason why I stick with Firefox, despite Mozilla's innumerable gaffes.
Other than Gecko and Servo-based browsers, #Webkit-based browsers such as Gnome Web / Epiphany look decent. There's also #Ladybird which is a hopeful new from-scratch browser project.
In the battle
between the immovable force
and steadfast object
something has to give
Who will #blink first?
Which unrelenting side
will swallow their pride
and finally realize
the ultimate folly
of mindless intransigence?

Some shots from my show at The Helper Mini in Utah. Electric Horses Forever has three horses running, with a few more out of the gallery. You can blink them if your near the gallery by joining the "Pink Pony Club" wifi network, and it's "captive portal" even works on iphones and androids.
The three of them should make a nice pink glow in the gallery day and night, and light up a little piece of the town of Helper.
The horses have made it out west!
My latest distraction from the emails I should be sending- a flask server that displays a webcam, has a sqlite database and has GPIO control.
I also have been playing with cloudflare tunnels so I can open this up to anyone who wants to blink it. The idea is to make it so anyone can interact with sculptures and "be" at the gallery without actually being there- so thousands of people could "attend" an art opening.
I wanna one day teach this web blinking neon stuff. Thinking of structuring the class as "WeBlink" and parodying WeWork to market it. I sorta share Adam Neuman's demographic... Except I actually use computers- just not so much for emailing ;)
Planning on bending a "WeBlink" neon that will allow people to vote on "We Blink" or "Web link" styled in your favorite co-working space font.... Just as soon as I ship off a bunch of ponies.... And finish this current wave of bill paying neon work :)
