It’s pretty dreadful on iOS, presumably due to OS constraints. I miss how amazing it was on Android.

I'm pretty out of my depth when it comes to [*titlecasing`*] Data Structures and Editor design. But how can a rather more general tree structure like yours compete against buffer- or text-oriented data structures like ropes and such? W

Hm, that would very much make it a tough sell for me I must say. In addition to the three (seemingly apt) reasons given by GP, this monolithic approach makes it so much harder to adopt--rather than composing this feature into existing edito

I don’t think distros with older kernels should be generally suggested to newbies who can have a smattering of hardware. Unsupported hardware can be such a showstopper for new users.

Each kind of namespace provides its own kind of boundary. Yes, you need something like bubblewrap to stitch that all together. And it is kinda leaky, especially without taking some degree of care. What're you saying about privilege esc

Is there consensus around that? Given how containers and bubblewrap/flatpak are considered (to some degree) security boundaries, I approach statements like this with skepticism.

This sometimes works, sometimes not. Because of how DNS resolution works, you're totally at the mercy of how your DNS resolver and/or application behave.

And telco licensing isn't even really relevant. Afaik, licensing condition only has to do with their use of the airwaves and other such technical stuff. It's got nothing to do with ensuring the rights of the telco users .

GGP does express interest in Algorithm-as-a-Service (AaaS), but I don't see why AaaS or server-side anything would be required to have non-chronological feed algorithms. Client-side is perfectly suitable for the near-univeral case wh

Not specific to LLM stuff, but I've lately been using bubblewrap more and more to isolate bits of software that are somewhat more sketchy (NPM stuff, binaries downloaded from GitHub, honestly most things not distro-packaged). It was a

Yes. And we'd also need people to stop demanding non-semantic hard wrapping at 79/80 chars.

If anyone is interested, I've added this BWRAP_BUILD variable to a makefile in my project that builds a Go and SvelteKit project. I then preface individual commands that I want sandboxed within a make target (e.g. mybin below).

I think I’m gonna start wrapping most of my build commands (which are inside a makefile) with bwrap. Allow network access only for fetching dependencies. Limit disk access (especially rw access) throughout. Etc.
