Window transparency is available on all major platforms, and there are cross platform libs which support it, such as SDL3: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/SDL_WINDOW_TRANSPARENT (for rendering, making underlying windows v

Strange that article does not mention that Euro-Office fork has been created because OnlyOffice has Russian origins. I feel bad for Russian devs who tried to build great free software while staying in Russia, hope they will be given options

Does this mean Google just forked it to develop proprietary XR runtime and doesn't contribute back?

I don't know much about node but cargo has lock file with hashes which prevents dep substitution unless dev decide to update lock file. Updating lock file has same risks as initial decision to depend on deps.

I believe NixOS-like "build time binding" is the answer. Especially with Rust "if it compiles, it works". Software shares code in form of libraries, but any set of installed software built against some concrete version o

It does support dynamic libs, but virtually all important Rust software seems to be written without any consideration for it.

And yet Rust ecosystem practically killed runtime library sharing, didn't it? With this mentality that every program is not a building block of larger system to be used by maintainers but a final product, and is statically linked with

No, transcription has nothing to do with written text, it guessed few words here and there but not even general topic. That's doctors note about patient visit, beginning with "Прием: состояние удовл., t*, но кашель / patient

Fun fact: EXIF is simultaneously JPEG format (EXIF spec describes compressed image file format which is based on JIF, the base JPEG file format described in JPEG spec, also EXIF is for "EXchangeable Image File format", suggesting

Yoshkar-Ola itself is a forgery, just google for its photos and name of that embankment street (no offence, just kidding, I even kinda like it, hope they didn't destroy some valuable authentic architecture to build it).

>make drift from the original config impossible NixOS makes that too, its whole "system output path closure" is as immutable as every single store unit within it. But NixOS "reuses" units which are unaffected by NixOS

by shatsky 2y ago
Another opinion: immutability is required to guarantee software integrity, but there is no need to make whole system or "apps" immutable units. NixOS also consists of "immutable units", but its "granularity" is

Is suspend-to-ram something that often doesn't work on laptops with Linux, really? I used it on dozens and saw problems maybe once or twice. Though I usually pick ones which are 3+ years old.

It's sad that there's no support for lossy compressed images. People copypaste images a lot without intention to change them, and each time it's JPEG source the compression is lost but artifacts are preserved, and more artifa
