Is there any plan to have something similar to the Gnome Circle apps for Cosmic? It'd be nice to encourage building a full ecosystem of app with libcosmic that can rival the apps of KDE/Gnome.

This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?

The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn't do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.

Anyway I'm thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.

Does System76 sell a single device with touch screens?

Why is helix there then?

I love flatpaks and flathub. They're amazing for GUI apps, though there are still a couple of wrinkles that needs to be ironed out.

I would really love if it was better with regards to cli apps and developer tooling though. As someone that uses a lot of TUI apps that seriously limit how much I can use flatpak.

For dôme reason it's broken for me. I had to open it in nightly for reader mode to work.

Unreadable on mobile....

For youtube there is peertube. A big instance it TilVids. It integrates very well with Mastodon!

It supports videos and live streaming, and uses webtorrent (bittorrent over webrtc) to reduce the bandwidth costs of the server.

It's not technical and more political.

Google is a surveillance company with a huge impact on web standards thanks to its insane market share. Apple on its side uses its forced monopoly to prevent websites from competing with its app store. Gecko depends on Mozilla that depends on google for 90% of its revenue, and is today a good "look we're not a monopoly" excuse for google.

I don't think people want a new engine because the current ones don't work. They want a new engine because they want the web to be truly open.

But they don't support the same API. This is completely off topic.

The backend is not

It's developedby Google?

GTK is in bare C, which is rather easy to interop with Rust. Even if using GLib from Rust is a pain, GTK can and does have decent Rust bindings.

QT on the other hand is C++ with object oriented stuff, and therefore cannot have easy bindings to Rust.

They've never had more users.

And if you had spent 3 minutes looking at r/Signal or the support forum before they disabled SMS you would have seen how many people were confused by the feature.

You? I'm not the writer of the post...

Can you please explain what you mean?

That's why I avoid relying on instances maintained by this type of people and instance gravitate around instances hosted by non-profits I know and trust.

Where I am in France there are multiple very friendly non-profits that are centered around Free software and how digital technologies affect our freedom, who've shown to be very open-minded and responsible.

All this drama happened on Mastodon. While user migration is a great feature to have for users, it won't solve this kind of issues.

There’s no way to transfer accounts afaik

On lemmy for now there is not. But there is on Mastodon and having such a feature in lemmy is just a matter of time.

It could also be a very good explanation. Too bad that this site doesn't document its methodology and that reddit will never confirm such numbers.

However I am still certain that quality has dropped overall on most subreddits. An acceleration of what started a while ago.
