I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Earth, is in fact, Earth/Plastic, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Earth plus Plastic. Earth is not a planet unto itself, but rather another component of a fully self-correcting paradigm made useful by Plastic and it's human manufacturers, compromising a full ecosystem defined by Mother Nature.

Low IQ: it's not a straight line

Medium IQ: it's a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

High IQ: it's not a straight line

I was wondering why it was written in C++, but the FAQ already beat me to it.

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Glad to see they are open to using safer languages. C/C++ was great for its time, but we really need to move on from them.

Lol, it took me a while to realize it's the compiler essentially saying "how high".

Since the only way to obtain a WiiU gamepad is to take one from an existing system, this development will help revive old systems without taking from the limited WiiU gamepad market.

Skip to 2:28 if you just want the development info and not the context and history.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you're ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend

Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared.

Lmao, that's putting it lightly.

This is absolutely true, and it's not limited to parking tickets. I was getting groceries and I was asked to pay. I knew this was just a trick to get me to enter contract, so I denied the contract (yes, I signed at a 45.0 degree angle) and left with my groceries for free.

The police did unlawfully arrest me though, so I am seeking a civil rights lawyer.
