I've used Smithay's Rust client toolkit for a few months now. For making apps it is still sometimes have unsafe wrappers disguised as safe. It has a lot of internals wrapped in Arc<>, but in my tests, the methods are not saf

I have Kobo, but their decision to enable secure boot in newer models, and consequently pushing out FOSS choices as operating systems makes me think I won't get another Kobo. Yes the Nickel menu works still with secure boot enabled dev

I switched to Linux in the past month. First, I installed GNOME based Fedora 43, that was a mistake. I got it working "somewhat" like Windows, with Dash to Panel etc. widgets, but stability was not there after all the hacks. Then

Yeah, I switched to Linux and my single Tauri app was not cooperating. They do have an effort to use Chromium Embedded Framework for rendering the webview, it's potentially much more stable in Linux. [1] It is nowhere near finished but

I want to know as well, I just read gpgme-json page posted, but it doesn't include anything about WebAuthn (aka passkeys). Can you use GPG-agent for non-resident passkey challenges? I also have Yubikey setup, but haven't thought o

"a thin wrapper over the system webview" That is very complicated if you take into account also Linux, Windows, iOS, MacOS, Android support, and related utilities like tray icon, etc. There are other efforts, too, but they are als

Can one nest those kirigami structures on top of each other? Imagine if you had a smaller-diameter version right on top of it. It would open up inside the outer one, increasing the surface area. The bottle example didn't seem convincin

This is a bit silly way to use LLMs to process tabular data. In reality, you'd ask it to write functions and execute them. First you'd ask it to create a type definition from the table, then ask it to create functions to process t

I've stumbled on this twice now, usually you can use just CDN caching, but I once solved it with redis locks, and once with simply filling the cache periodically in the background. If you can, it's easier to have every client fetc

That is one way. What I meant was transpiling Luau (in memory or cached to disk) -> TypeScript -> typecheck with tsc -> take error outputs and line numbers -> transform back to Luau code via sourcemaps etc. This is potentially w

Typed Lua is something I've always wanted, but writing a very comprehensive type-checker and LSP for another dynamic language is pretty difficult. All dynamic languages have similar problems to those TypeScript encountered, as most dyn

It seems to be a really hard problem. Deep sleep even with Raspberry Pi Zero and Pico product lines has been problematic. I hoped they would make Pico 2 deep sleep better, but it still needs external deep sleep RTC like DS3231 to make it tr

I have no answer, I'm asking the same question. Who can raise serious funds like 1 billion to do it? I'm guessing for FOSS/Linux crowd to get fully behind, it can't be a company, but a person like Linus Torvalds. Given t

There is also https://sailfishos.org/ and they've got hardware too. FOSS/Linux has had many attempts at phones, but they need one good leader to do it, which is very hard unless someone with name recognition gets

I hope something like SailfishOS [1] could take off. They do have Android support, and maybe even by pressure, they could get banking apps working in the EU via that. [1]: https://sailfishos.org/
