"COINS" is "not in word list." Wordle happily accepts it.

I understand the pragmatic reasons behind such a decision, but insisting that I sign up with Google (and only Google) was an unfortunate blocker.

If anything, GitHub seems like a more obvious choice for such a site.

That is fair. I went with Google first because it let me ship the first version quickly, but for a tool aimed at developers GitHub and simple email sign in make much more sense.

I am working on both and plan to let people move their account once they are live if they would prefer not to use Google here.

I was hooked, but don't have a Google account anymore. Oh well…

Your comment has very little to do with your chosen quote.

You're arguing that the scale of the opioid problem is a direct result of the associated laws. The quote just states that heroin is harmful to humans.

In what way?

The device that immediately springs to mind is the Kindle. You can choose to buy a version without ads, or save ~10% and accept ads.

That seems like a reasonable compromise.

Both the browser and the website look remarkably similar to https://zen-browser.app/.

Because both are trying to be response to the death of Browser Company's Arc. (https://arc.net)

The browser designs look identical to Arc, yes, but the website of these two new “Arc responses” also look the same, down to the background color.

The only difference is zen is Firefox based while arc and nook are chromium based.

According to their FAQ, Nook is WebKit-based.

Oops I misunderstood, I thought the fact that it ran chrome extensions meant it was chromium based. Thanks.

Switched to zen recently, and although I only expected a slightly different experience to firefox, it's hugely better. Profiles/containers/workspaces especially are great.. this level or organization fits my mental model much better and and I never need to manage bookmarks or use multiple windows. (Performance with large numbers of tabs seems much better too, presumably inactive workspaces are reclaiming the memory in smart ways).

I agree that Go is a good choice for web services. I disagree that it's the only thing Go is good at. DevOps tooling and CLI tools immediately spring to mind.

Fair, CLI tools is why I said almost, but there's much more competition there. I wouldn't consider devops tools to be its own category though.

It's a marketing page primarily intended for a non-technical audience who probably don't know (or care) about the differences between Open Source and "the source is open".

Flagging the post for "false advertising" is complete overkill. It's also inaccurate, as at no point does the page claim Fizzy complies with the Open Source Definition.

If it helps, DHH has acknowledged this distinction elsewhere:

> This is done under the O'Saasy License, which is basically the do-whatever-you-want-just-don't-sue MIT License, but with a carve-out that reserves the commercialization rights to run Fizzy as SaaS for us as the creators. That means it's not technically Open Source™, but the source sure is open, and you can find it on our public GitHub repository.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I disagree.

Open source has a meaning. Companies and marketing people are doing their best to muddle it, but I'm dying on this hill and will never accept it.

If it's for non-technical audience they are abusing the fact some people know "open source = good" and try to benefit from that unfairly. They can use a different term.

So you're saying a tweet inciting violence isn't mean.

He doesn't know what "mutually exclusive" means, he just heard someone say it.

GP explicitly stated that they use stars to determine the popularity of a repository, not the code quality.

This may be my ignorance, but aren't most distributions [1] just an Arch / Fedora / Debian / whatever base with a desktop environment and a few opinionated choices (UI tweaks, installed applications, etc.)?

[1] I realise CachyOS makes some kernel modifications, but is that typical?

I believe the difference is between Omarchy simply having some default configuration for certain applications compared to CachyOS having a repository with a larger amount of packages which are being maintained by the CachyOS devs.

> [1] I realise CachyOS makes some kernel modifications, but is that typical?

Yes, very common. I think not making modifications (like Arch) is the atypical case, as "unmodified from upstream" is one of the core value propositions for Arch and why we chose it in the first place.

Still, CachyOS is probably an outlier in the amount of tweaks it does, and the amount of choices it surfaces to users about those tweaks.
