    Firefox dropped app support and their version of electron, just as half the app market is moving towards pwa’s. Just coincidence that google has a monopoly on that market now.

    Firefox worked with google to develop the “privacy sandbox”. Where instead of tracking just with cookies, they now just straight up tell your church’ website that you’re gay as soon as you visit. Handy for targeted ads.

    Firefox also conveniently backs out of some random css standards just to rename them. Making google chrome better supported for no reason other than just cuz.

    It’s been an odd thing with them for a while now. Also why does firefox insist on absolute garbage tab, bookmark and history management. There used to be proper customization, but they removed it when chrome came in with… simple history and smooth tab management :/














  • I might just start bundling my apps inside an environment setup with nix inside docker. A lot of them are similar to identical, So those docker images actually share a lot of layers under the hood.

    My apps after compiling and packaging are usually around 50mb. That’s 48mb of debian, which is entirely shared between all the images that I build. So the eventual size of my deployed applications isn’t nearly as big as they seem from the size of the tarball being sent around. So for 10 apps, that’s not 500mb, that’s 68mb.

    If anything, the docker hub and registry are a bit of a mess.


  • you can trust the nix repositories aren’t going to change

    That, I do not. And storing the source and such for every dependency would be bigger than, and result in essentially the same thing as an image.

    I think you’re trying to achieve something different than what docker is for. Docker is like installing onto an empty computer then shipping the entire machine to the end user. You pretty much guarantee thing will work. (yes this is oversimplified)
