A fellow minimalist! My one suggestion would be to vertically center your content

On the one hand, I kind of agree with PPK here.
On the other hand, perhaps we’re just old curmudgeons. The features we wanted are there, so it is time for these damned kids to stop changing things now.
On the other other hand, Navigation Transitions really do sound dumb, given that if you want to do that sort of thing it is pretty easy to do with HTML5 ‘single page’ apps and any number of existing JS libraries.
-
Part of PPK’s argument here is that browsers should cede the “low latency/high interactivity” ground currently held by native apps entirely and focus on being document viewers. Transitions are a great example: they make no sense for hyperlinked documents, and all the sense in the world for building natural interactions.
IMO this entirely misses the leverage of web browsers. To paraphrase Churchill, web browsers are the worst cross-platform application platform, except for all the others.

This presupposes that cross-platform application platforms are the solution to our problems.
There was a time when Java was in the same position, with the same rationale. After a lot of wasted effort, we seem to have moved on and multi platform java is mostly history.
-
I’m not just presupposing that, I think its axiomatic. Who wants to spend time porting applications and services between platforms when they could be doing anything else?

It might make the developer’s life easier, but it is pure shit for the users. In the case where the users are developers, well OK, sure. But in the general case, something that makes my life better at the expense of the people who need to use my software is 100% a non-starter.

When’s the last time you saw someone complain that <insert website here> doesn’t work on <insert browser/os here>?
I make this complaint regularly, if not daily. Scroll hijacking is a common issue. Every browser supports “native” scrolling, but that’s not good enough. We need “cross platform” scrolling in JavaScript. And it’s pure shit.

Does it even matter at this point? That brand is incredibly tainted after the recent actions of sourceforge in particular.

Is there a place to get a good overview of the whole systemd debacle and what exactly everyone is so upset about?

That actually looks like the most unbiased article I have seen on the topic yet.

Maybe this? http://lwn.net/Articles/614860/ (obviously, a bit based, though I admit I didn’t notice who it was until end of the mail.)

Always a good reminder that if the service is free, you’re what’s being sold. Does Google have these kind of advertising options? Seems like they’d have that sort of ability as well.
