As a KDE Connect user for a few years I know it doesn't always work without reconnecting especially with sleep cycles on the phone and the laptop but it does everything on Android at least - clipboard sync, notifications, sms, calls, r

Different programming languages are very obviously not the same thing - different cp command implementations are similar conceptually to having different linker implementations that all do the same thing. But you knew that so not sure if th

Writing linkers must be incredibly rewarding - go has its own, there's mold, there's LLD, there's the OG GNU bfd LD and now Zig has one too! I am sure there's a Rust one too - Wild! Every one of them is faster than the o

I am a full time KDE/Arch user and since Plasma 6 haven't had any HiDPI issues including monitors with different DPI or X11 apps - of which there are very few nowadays.

I meant the I have no interest in knowing anything about any company's internal tech stack and also no interest in tying my application to one company's internal stack. Much of it sounded like lock-in to me.

Stopped reading at proprietary. Seriously why would I care tying my app to something proprietary and have no way out of it?

I was referring to the "HTTP request in Tokyo to find the nearest instance in Sydney" part which felt to me like a differentiating feature- no other cloud provider seems to have bidding or HTTP request level cross regional lookup

> The bidding model is elegant, but it’s insufficient to route network requests. To allow an HTTP request in Tokyo to find the nearest instance in Sydney, we really do need some kind of global map of every app we host. So is this a case

Yeah, what I do is make use of the freedom fully when I can and that way it's like I have fulfilled my quota for procrastination and it's easy sailing for the stuff then I need to do :D - complicated and works for me but YMMV. Fee

If you truly enjoy the procrastination as opposed to fighting it or distracting to another thing - sooner or later you'll want to do the thing you were supposed to do. Try that out. There is a reason why you don't want to do somet

I am happy for a new browser/engine but I'm highly skeptical that Ladybird will ever come close to Chrome or Firefox in terms of features, compatibility and performance. It's just very hard to imagine. There's servo and

I love using KDE and use it on all my desktop machines. I even have a source compiled version ready to test / hack on if I need - utterly fun and easy to build using kde-builder and works on most distros including Ubuntu/Debian, A

Thanks, that is definitely a good sign - given the rendering engine monopoly state of Chrome+derivatives and lack of great momentum behind Firefox adoption we need Apple to actively keep Safari not just viable but great even if only on macO

Trying to compile it - it's 2.2.0 but better than nothing. I haven't seen any upstream patches for Rust V8 for FBSD so maybe out of tree ones in the ports if it does compile.

Not as big as Linux but I know a few FreeBSD shops that run NodeJS apps so it's not entirely crazy to think that there are more and they would want to try Deno. Besides making your OSS software compilable on *BSD/Linux/Mac&#x

Crazy that Deno is still not workable on FreeBSD because of the Rust V8 bindings not being ported.
