out of curiosity, how wide apart do you place the two halves of your split keyboard? i recently got one, and been wondering if i should place them full shoulder width apart or not.

Given the stagnation that's set in the mobile form factor, i think its the perfect time for unwalled FOSS mobile environments to develop. also, the demo with gesture typing on the console is pretty cool: https://postmarketos

I think the question of "Why does it takes fifty lines to create a dialogue with a button" is very programming-language dependent: If you're working with a higher-level programming language, you can make cross-platform GUIs v

by zach43 7y ago
Yeah, I understand the pains of implementing native GUIs, but one of the niceties that they provide is that you can implement simple - moderately complex GUIs in fewer lines and cleaner APIs than what the cross-platform libraries provide.

I looked at Imgui before for a project, but decided not to go with it since the examples are all over a hundred lines long, for example: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/examples/exampl..

its such a coincidence that these accidents keep happening in ways that enable further data gathering...surely there isn't a larger problem with Facebook's attitude towards their users' private data or anything

I'm personally not at all attached to the 'mastodon.social' domain (i'm self-hosting my own account on a different instance), but I am somewhat surprised at this perspective on TLDs. Most users of the internet have been

I've had a pretty good experience self-hosting with Pleroma. Its quite amazing that I can run a social media server with just a $5 VPS. Not sure if there are bots / apps that can easily let you follow Twitter users on Mastodon, bu

i could imagine a third camp between Free Software and Open Source following something like the Qt dual-licensing model: 1. You are free to use this software for non-commercial use. 2. If you'd like to use this software for commercial

one of the coolest things about mastodon and pleroma is that you can just start your own instance and immediately federate with the rest of the network. this means that if youre unhappy with the moderation in a community, if you want to own

the pictures in the article look very similar to the current Chromium, and they completely seem to lose any kind of Edge look and feel that the browser had before. Maybe these are just early development pictures? I'd be surprised if Mi

It is nice to see the const fn improvements! maybe this is normal for the minor version Rust announcements, but is the page missing a link to the list of contributors?
