Android users all kinds of overlays over the sdcard directory. This is part of how it enforces storage access for apps. There's probably a way to override these settings, but they sure as hell aren't easy.

There's also another layer of permissions somewhere seeing as I can't access certain files on /sdcard that were created by the recovery. I assume it's an selinux context issue (it always is).

Changing ownership should work on real SD cards with normal storage, but it won't for the emulated internal /sdcard.

Lifetime issues? Just clone() all your problems away. Everything is Clonable if you try hard enough. Who needs performance anyway?

I believe this is because not all videos are 16:9 (or 16:10). Something about different video sizes seems to break youtube thumbnails for some reason.

I don't really see what that has to do with the feasibility of writing a new browser engine or the development status of either browser engine, but yeah, it was pretty silly of him to get dragged into an argument over that.

For me, there's a 50/50 chance of it being able to tell me the weather rather than talking about how it's an LLM.

I don't have the subscription, though, so maybe that'll fix it.

It's bringing back the categorisation from Android 4. Looks like they're not adding the headers to the groups, though. I guess that doesn't vibe with Material You.

I do like this much better, but I find it a bit weird how often Google redesigns this screen.

Andreas Kling wrote a lot of Ladybird himself. It's not finished yet, and it's turned into a big community project with full time employees now, but with some experience building browsers, the modern spec evidently makes it quite a reasonable task to build a web engine. There are a lot of IDL files and whatnot to parse and process documents and the rendering algorithms are almost all laid out in the spec these days.

I tried Servo last month and I must say that after what I've seen Ladybird do, I was kind of disappointed. I don't think release is very close based on the problems I've encountered.
