(because you need, like, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi services running all the time, you want to hot-plug USB flash drives, you want more permission granularity for random stuff you're installing, you want packages to be fenced and easy to install and uninstall, etc)

you can read posts like pappp.net?p=969 in an inverted way as a _critique_ of the Unix philosophy, that Unix just hasn't been good enough to construct a modern desktop environment and it's necessary to invent a new philosophy

html tags should have timestamps of when they were created

leaning into this text editor/visual editor dual, i've made the code colourer detect comments like /*====*/ and turn them into sliders. I really like how plain old source code remains the 'source of truth' for all state and the editor just doodles over it.

or, really, full provenance of each character in the filename (this character was typed by a product manager -> carried over the web server -> downloaded by me; I mashed this character 30ms after mashing the previous one; this (2) was appended by macOS automatically)
