Blort™'s wall

Ok, so this is very early stage but cool:

#Verso is a project to build a full "#FOSS forever" web browser based on #Rust and #Servo rather than #Chromium/#Gecko. Even the interface is rendered with Servo.

https://github.com/versotile-org/verso

Currently there's 23 contributors and a non profit forming to oversee it. There are also nightly releases for testing (remember the "very early stage" bit though!).

Here's their initial launch video (tech starts about 1/2 way through):

Interesting, I don't know rust but I am interested in this project! Thank you for making me aware of it.

@Blort I saw it recently but didn't manage to compile and get it running. However, I also didn't put much effort into solving it and it's completely legitimate at such a stage.

I love it! Hope it will catch on.

The fastest non-Google controlled web rendering engine Servo is trying to compete with only $1.6k funding a month:

Yes, they did have an NLNet grant, but that ran out.

If we want an alternative to Blink/Chrome, we need to fund it. This is a project where even a tiny regular amount could yield oversize returns:

@Blort igalia employs multiple people to work on servo full time right?

Gecko isn't good enough?

To any of you ADHD folks out there... help! What systems help get you off the computer/phone to go to bed at night?

My wifi turns off at 10pm and 10:30pm. My computer screen, too. And my phone runs TimeLimit.io. And I have an alarm on my phone. It doesn't seem to be effective though. I just end up overriding each night. I desperately need to get to bed at a decent time each night.

Any ideas?

@Blort Nothing works for me either. if my brain wants to run, it'll keep running. Only thing I can suggest is exercise to burn all the excess energy, and then slowly start pushing yourself to change your biological clock.

I've given up on it myself and accepted my fate as a night owl

@Blort
My best working strategy is not to don't do things that withhold me but do other things intentionally.
If you desparately want to surf late at night nothing will really stop you (or your brain).

So start earlier and do some stuff instead that will calm you down and is somehow limiting but also cool enough to switch from your high dopamine surfing.
Maybe reading a book while drinking a tea and dimmed lights will do that for you. Or playing a relaxing game with time limitations.
