There are lots of ways to do this, to have third-party "app stores" or different binary formats for apps (e.g. WASM, JVM/CLR bytecode). All that would need to happen is Apple to allow sideloading apps. Then the only limit wou

PWAs would be very off brand for iOS. It would allow all kinds of spammy low-quality apps to masquerade as iOS apps without any vetting from Apple. Part of Apple's success is their extreme stubbornness. They decide something and make z

The "app list" in GNOME is a database of XDG desktop files which you can create manually if you want. Refer to the freedesktop.org docs.

I'm imagining that the Pi is an independent agent, not owned by a human, and therefore can't get a bank account. The Pi is paid in Bitcoin to begin with, so no conversion is necessary. The assumptions are that there is a 5G servic

If you're concerned about energy usage, there are much bigger fish to fry than Bitcoin mining. But if you want, s/Bitcoin/Libra. A computer can't get a bank account, but it can get a crypto wallet.

Imagine a Raspberry Pi secured onto a tree somewhere being powered by a solar panel and serving a website over 5G. Imagine that Pi is running a SaaS product that generates revenue and pays for its own 5G subscription. Now imagine that Pi is

Yeah and Steve Jobs owned even less of Apple. There's a difference between ownership and leadership. Twitter would be a very different place without Jack. It would turn into Facebook or TikTok. Twitter is like a BDFL hobby project. I

Reddit was always cringe. The best internet communities are ones that don't need to be a "company". HN is a great example. HN is run by a rich guy as a hobby. There will never be ads, there will never be a board of directors,

You can style the widgets however you like. You don't have to use the default Material toolkit, the same way you can design Qt widgets in QML and don't have to use those default 1990s-style gray box widgets. > remember alt-* to

Flutter implements a bespoke renderer called Skia. It is its own backend. For Qt to be compatible with Flutter you'd have to port Qt to Dart. There's nothing wrong with running Flutter apps and Qt apps simulatenously. It would be

For something this popular it shouldn't be so hard. I don't think being related to hardware is an excuse. CUDA is not a driver and exists entirely in userspace. This is the kind of thing that happens when you're dealing with

You just have to compile that specific supported version of gcc. On an earlier CUDA, I had to compile gcc-4.9. Unlike Debian, Fedora just seems to remove all traces of old packages.

The UNIX philosophy would call for a service that does one thing well. CloudFront is a CDN among other things and, in this case, a TLS termination proxy. I should be able to stack something onto S3 that just does the latter, because I may
