Wow. Honestly, thank you! I had entirely forgot that this wiki even exists. I’ve bookmarked your reply. :-)

Thank you, the subshell idea is a good one!

Ah, I could probably use Perl or something as well. I was hoping awk could do it though. But thank you, I hadn’t heard about pyp before!

You wouldn’t be able to split up expressions like this

Ah, that already answers my original question. A pity!

Sure, but that’s inside a string:

$ printf "This is a   # let's break \
> long line."
This is a   # let's break long line.

awk remains unimpressed:

$ echo "This is a test.
> It has three lines, so I can
> test awk on it." | awk '
> NR>2    # Skip two lines. \
> { print $2 }   # should only print "awk"
> '
is
has
test awk on it.
awk

Wouldn’t the backslash be a part of the comment?

The same is just as true for LaTeX: it’s a great, intuitive language

Curious troff noises

-Can uninstall anything you don’t want

How can you uninstall systemd?

Double Commander is a multi-platform clone of Total Commander. You couldn’t even see the difference after some configuration.

LOL, Model M. Fucking newbies.

Typed on my Model F.

I want a simple desktop with small elements to maximize real estate for windows.

Maybe a tiling (or optionally-tiling) window manager would be a good choice then? No elements! :)

Or try Slackware -CURRENT. Not Debian-based, but quality control is awesome. There even is an apt simulator for it.

Netsurf uses its own renderer.

Yes, there are three engines since 20 years

If, and only if, you skip NetSurf’s own one and Dillo’s own one and the numerous text-mode engines like GNU Emacs’s one, w3m et cetera, this number might be close to the whole truth. But I don’t see why you would do that.

Awesome, thank you. It was even installed on my system!

Maybe because it’s already old enough to not be “cool” anymore. Anyway, one of the reasons why I keep mentioning it is to reverse this noise.

Which is a less portable, less complete implementation of this one.

I am excited to see a new competitor

I wish more people would help NetSurf development instead of joining the Ladybird bandwagon. Ladybird is basically a less portable, less complete NetSurf.

But a browser engine is an absurdly huge piece of software and it will be a miracle if projects like Rust (or Ladybird, which I just learned it’s targeting its first alpha for… 2026!) get backed by big corporations and their pace gets quicker.

NetSurf already does everything that Ladybird promises - and it has done that for years. Just saying.
