0x4a42··on Why can't I write code inside my browser?
Actually you can code in the browser. You can write JS snippets in the URL, in the URL field, in the console... No need for an IDe, an interpreter or a compiler or to install anything else.

A browser is all you need to start coding and everyone has one installed on their system.

Also on coding is too hard for newbies: JS, Python, PHP are NOT hard. I couln't have became a developper 25 years ago when programming was really hard but nowadays building usefull applications with JS and/or Python the myriad of libaries available and the ridiculous hardware ressources at the disposal of anyone, it's not hard anymore.

0x4a42··on Gimp is 25 years old today
> Krita is more than enough for a lot of photo editing needs, which are basically cropping, resizing, applying color filters

If it's your definition of photo editing then any freeware (ie: xnview, windows' image viewer...) can do this. You don't need Photoshop - which is pro high end software - to do this kind of basic stuffs.

0x4a42··on Gimp is 25 years old today
Krita is a painting app comparable to Corel Painter. You can't compare it with GIMP or Photoshop.
0x4a42··on Changes to Fusion 360 for Personal Use
> I've always found it a little surprising that companies haven't built/funded a open-source organization for parametric mechanical CAD, similar to Blender for games or KiCad for electronics/PCB design.

Both are pretty good.

0x4a42··on Detect or Not Detect Chrome Headless
It looks like this solution is based on a distant JS file included in the pages.

I tested on Rakuten (they use DataDome) with a slighly modified Headless Chrome and I blocked the domain js.datadome.co in my host file so DataDome is never loaded nor executed. My bot was not detected or blocked at all.

Maybe I'm missing something?
