AFAIK, the OS-specific Qt themes don't wrap the native widgets, it reimplements them. They are rather thorough though, making sure their OS-specific theme matches the look and behavior of the native OS, which makes it one of the best f

As someone using AltStore PAL to install some third-party apps that would never be allowed on the App Store (such as emulators and manga readers), I heavily disagree.

The government won't limit you - they can't really know what you use those proofs for anyways, that's the zero knowledge part, and supposedly they'll be necessary for social media at some point, so a ZK proof won't

Each individual proof is zero knowledge, but downloading a _bunch_ of them is an indicator, yes. There's no real way to work around this with the current ZKP scheme. I'd argue ZKP is, in theory, the least worse option of all curre

Qualification is time-constrained. You are qualified for two to three years. So by 2030, all qualified products will be PQC-free.

In theory, ld.so could provide a stable interface to its dynamic loading capabilities independently of glibc. Then glibc would not have to be updated in concert with ld.so. There's no inherent reason that glibc should be the library sh

How is that more valuable? It comes with two big pitfalls: - It would still not allow downgrades to work properly - It would cause glibc/ld.so to have a harder time adding new features, as they now need to worry about incompatible vers

by roblabla 2mo ago
Not with NixOS. ld.so is tied to a version of glibc, in ways that can be subtly incompatible. And nixos can have multiple glibc version installed on a single machine. Besides, it allows for upgrades/downgrades to be done in a way that&

There’s a lot of ways you can hold an engine wrong. Some 3rd party browser (often by security vendors…) have been vulnerable to exploits due to not compiling it with all the hardening options, or injecting vulnerable extensions that expose

The goal is to give time for automated scanners ran by cybersecurity companies to flag malware before it gets installed on real users.

Monaspace has a feature called "texture healing" that does something similar: it allows bigger letters to "steal" space from adjascent smaller letters, to make it easier to read. The result is that the letters are still

You say this as if ad revenue is the only possible way we could have done AI research - which is an _extremely_ weird take given the history of academia and R&D. Today adtech companies just make up the richest companies in the world, so

SKG cares about games staying playable. If a game with both MP and SP modes has MP disabled, SKG’s proposals do not fall under it, because the game is still playable offline. They have repeatedly hammered this point in their official commun

It's a much smaller set of European citizens, and yet they have a much larger access to lawmakers. So no, it's not idiotic.

jj describe gives a name to a commit. In jj, everything rewrites the history, so there's no real point in calling it out in the command name since it's just the default behavior.

Europe has a major distro in the form of SUSE, so that’s not too worrying. Even if upstream linux banned european contributors, there are enough european contributors that a fork would just emerge. So I’m really not too worried about that h
