i had a dream today where firefox had an officially maintained switch homebrew port that you could download on the website alongside all the other platforms, i woke up before i could try it for myself but according to people's reports it was a different engine that didn't render any pages correctly

Firefox download website edited to have a Nintendo Switch platform option that is selected with an illustration of Firefox on a Switch below it

i don't want to join another pile-on and this isn't that but i am so confused by this take because when was typing code ever the bottleneck, even in boilerplate-heavy languages

Post from @why.bsky.team:

Oh interesting, people who don't know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute.

Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

why is windows like this

$Partial screenshot of the Taildrive page in Tailscale docs that reads as follows: By default, Windows limits WebDAV files to 50MB. This can be changed by editing the registry key: 1. Open the Windows Run dialog by using the keyboard shortcut Windows + R. 2. In the dialogue box, type Regedit and select Ok. 3. Locate the registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters, under the entry FileSizeLimitInBytes. 4. Change the value to 4294967295, which is 4GB. This is the maximum allowed value.$
