which extension plugin do you use to debug/automate the web browser?

llama.cpp has a web ui nowdays, but with an harness is easier to interact with existing cli tools

It must have some kind of harness at least?? Like “you’re an AI assistant, answer questions”?

This is the biggest contraddiction of this times

Flatpak = git, Flathub = github

The same is true for existing Linux package managers. You could say apt = git, Debian repos = Github.

Its not entirely true either because neither git nor Github do things like dependency handling.

There are lots of alternatives to Github. Of the two alternatives to Flathub mentioned in the article, one has disappeared, and the other has all of 93 packages.


Flatpak has better software isolation and support

I also test harness with "Ship Harness Bench", jcode with its browser integration gives the best results

Good to have more Linux-compatible hardware, but currently x86-64 is a safer bet for compatibility. Asahi, Snapdragon ARM,.. are all half baked Linux projects

The idea that Linux is "half baked" non non-amd64 platforms is just... it's just stunning.

That is all.


> The idea that Linux is "half baked" non non-amd64 platforms is just... it's just stunning.

Evidence to support this idea, from a Red Hat developer in the area of ARM support:

His 2015 attempt:

https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2015/09/21/aarch64-desktop...

It failed. Arm on the desktop on Linux was not usable.

A decade later, he tried again.

His 2025 attempt starts here:

https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2025/07/07/arm-desktop-202...

It failed. Arm on the desktop on Linux was still not usable last year.

I think the proposition that it's half-baked is strong enough to at least discuss, not mock.


jcode is the best for RAM usage and browser interactions


cool, I've tested different harnesses with the same model. can you add jcode harness? I had great results with that https://grigio.github.io/ship-harness-bench/


desperation


Yes but why? Outlets pushing Angst?
