At the same time they suspended my GitHub account which I had for more than a decade, maintained multiple big open source projects, and contributed in hundreds. Didn't even bother to provide any reason or reply to any of my requests. W

Sadly, Rust still lacks some features that Ada has. For example, range types[1] (a narrow case of the dependent types). [1] https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/range

By pretending the project is still alive (it's not, especially compared to the amount of changes in LibreOffice) they actively harm the users that heard about OpenOffice and use 10 years old abandonware, instead of the modern version o

The problem is that Apache Foundation is being stubborn[1] to admit the OpenOffice death, which distracts and prevents users from using so much better software (LibreOffice) that harms an open source image and ecosystem in general. [1] htt

Another project that would certainly benefit from crowdsourcing is the OpenMetroMaps[1]. Lack of the good universal public transportation website and mobile app is disheartening. I know there's is Transportr[2][3] but it's coverag

Instead of `strings` for the search[1], I recommend using `rz-bin`[2] and `rz-find`[3] tools, which offer more flexibility, searching strings outside of the data sections, searching for Unicode and less common encodings, and built-in crypto

The biggest problem with Xiaomi's original ROMs is the crazy amount of ads. And they don't even offer a subscription-based business model to avoid them. The hardware is good these days, but the software is not.

Would be nice to redo this experiment with modern languages like Rust, Go, as well as modern "flavors" of Haskell and C++. Maybe throw OCaml in as well.

ThinkPad X1 solved this problem by having a physical camera shutter, embedded one. Nothing beats that (though there is a problem of potentially transparent material of the shutter, so this need to be checked as well).

It would be nice for the Memory Safety initiative[1] which tackles core internet infrastructure security and safety via re-implementing it in Rust to also work on implementing the BGP server implementation. [1] https://www.memory

One of the biggest blockers is the stubbornness of Apache Foundation that fails to admit that OpenOffice is effectively dead and simply redirect to the LibreOffice site, along with the announcement that OpenOffice is deprecated.

Biggest downside of this tool is inability to render PDF or ePub[1]. This is why we recently switched to Quarto[2]. Typst is also a good alternative, already mentioned in other comments. [1] https://github.com/rust-lang&#x2F

There is also Neomutt[1] that provides certain patches that make Mutt usage way more enjoyable. Would be nice to have a worthy alternative in Rust. [1] https://neomutt.org/

We (Rizin) would love to improve QNX support of our FOSS reverse engineering and debugging framework. We already support[1][2][3][4] it, but can't reliably test. Would be awesome to have the QEMU image out of the box, just like Windows
