They do appear to have a light mode, along with general UI customizability according to the homepage [1].

Out of curiosity I tried to load this on my iPhone 12 and it took about 8 and a half minutes and once it finally passed it said my browser didn't allow cookies and to enable them before trying again. I would have to go through the whole proof again. I get what they're doing but there definitely needs to be some work done on getting those times down on iphones.

They mentioned their work on upgrading their fork of Wine from being based on Wine 2.x/3.x to Wine 10.0. I didn't realize just how old their wine components were, it doesn't seem like the upgrade fully made this release but I'm excited to see what doors that'll open when it's completed. Getting a Haiku release and a ReactOS release in such a short window is such a treat.

This is super exciting! This is one of my favorite niche OSes to watch grow.

Same here. I'm definitely getting the fingerprint sensor this time. Additionally whenever an improved display is released I'm itching to get that as well. These are such exciting devices to own.

My understanding is that REM isn't particularly deep. Quick web searches aren't actually defining it as more like light or deep sleep, but many of our systems are more active than other stages[1][2]. Still I don't think it's super surprising that we spend more time in REM since our brains are uniquely complex and we spend a lot of energy on perception and interpretation, which REM seems to help with [1][3]. And I would be willing to be safety and comfort also play a decent role in it as well!

It stuck out to me because it's I recognized it as a word used in Diary of a Wimpy kid of all things. After a quick search though that seems like a coincidence.

It affects them too

iirc I can use Firefox's reader mode on websites that if I simply disabled js entirely would refuse to load anything at all. The viewer itself might have minimal or no js but it's not quite the same.

The progress each month is so impressive to see, I'm always looking forward to the next blog post from them.

> The Gtk port is gone . We’re focusing our efforts on making the Qt port look solid everywhere instead (#10536).

I'm sad to see this, but I understand not duplicating efforts. Maybe someone will be interested in filling this niche once the alpha release comes around.
