A task you didn't know could be done with pure JS (or maybe you did, congratulations)... https://linuxontheweb.org/desk.os

I want to start radically experimenting with the entire concept of hotkeys in Linux on the Web[1]. It's just that I've been a one-man operation since I started working on it over 6…

I have a similar kind of functionality in Linux on the Web, but dealing with parsing wasm (web assembly) files. There is a desktop environment, but I think it is best to use the sh…

The problem with this starts with the word "we". How do, for lack of a better word, "we" get some kind of authentic sense of we-ness going in this modern age of increasing social a…

I hate the concept of money. It needs to die a painful death. Business-as-usual is killing the planet and all future generations. Starting up a planet-saving model of business-as-u…

Funny story, my biggest career goal has always been to never have a career, haha! So, many years ago, I started hacking away on something that is very appropriate to your username.…

I dunno, I think I violate all those rules. I just try to write badass JS[1] purely for client-side rendering to make people's lives just work better. [1] see an example at https:/…

I guess the reason why I started working on what is now called "Linux on the Web" [1] was to exactly counter all of these existential issues that professional developers tend to fa…

> It is not sexy. IMO, the desktop environment in "Linux on the Web" [1] is a very sexy usage of modern web standards (including some non-standard stuff like the Chrome-only HTML5 …

>Mozilla has your back That's kinda funny when you consider where Mozilla came from... the ashes of a thing called Netscape... who tried to rule the world while a couple grad stude…

No. He (or she) is saying that he (or she) has finally found "Linux on the Web", and he (or she) has seen the light. Seriously though... my baby is starting to come alive. I've bee…

This and this, to the last two sentences. "Linux on the Web" (my baby) will be taking over in short order to rectify the situation (see my recent post history for more info). Been …

Hi, yes, that stuff is from quite awhile ago, seeing that NaCl/PNaCl is quite dead, and WASM is now all the rage. I previously had actual vim running via NaCl, but the current (bet…

Did you try the "desk.os" link that is link number 3 on that page... https://linuxontheweb.appspot.com/desk.os ? I can really only guarantee that things work on a relatively recent…

I started building something I like to call "Linux on the Web" (LOTW) 6+ years ago in order to start working on this problem (it's live on the web right now). Just like with node.j…

I experienced a kind of dyslexia when reading this headline. I couldn't fathom what a C framework could have to do with a "web application" outside of the world of web assembly, so…

I don't understand. Isn't the primary use for desktop icons the opening of particular files within programs and not the programs themselves?

My Linux Distro of choice is a random Edit: Whenever Linus talks about the possibility of "the year of the Linux desktop" nowadays, it seems like he always brings up ChromeOS as th…

"Energy technology" is a contradiction in terms. Energy (as we know it) comes from undifferentiated organic matter that is easy to burn while technology (as we know it) is based on…

There is irony here. The notion of a tech sector is entirely an equal and opposite reaction against actual Malthusian Traps (exponential population growth vs linear food supply gro…

A truly web-browser-centric development/deployment workflow is slowly but surely becoming a thing. I call it "Linux on the Web": Easy as A-B-C / Or 1-2-3 / It's L-O-T-W ~dot~ X-Y-Z…

On a not completely unrelated note (seeing as Perl is just a beefed up version of the *nix shell)... I've created the first (that I know of) implementation of the Shell Command Lan…
