arran4,

What are your needs which aren’t being met with flutter? – It’s really just a UI renderer and it has a C/C++/ObjectC/Java underlayer for everything else. It should link fine with existing c libraries. I have done a bit with it recently including desktop dev: www.producthunt.com/products/which-browser So hopefully I can answer any questions. – Hit me up on matrix

It seems that Zig is the intended language? If go where a consideration I would point you at this to consider: github.com/go-graphics/go-gui-projects too.

arran4,

Sounds reasonable. But I don’t like the 0 in the name.

arran4,

jdownloader seems pretty close to “internet download manager”

Also I prefer yt-dlp over youtube-dl

arran4,

Played 4 first, if you do that you really notice the retrocons etc. I figure in order probably works best.

Google Podcasts is gone — and so is my faith in Google (www.theverge.com)

The Podcasts app is just the latest product to go through a process I’ve come to call The Google Cycle. It always goes the same way: the company launches a new service with grandiose language about how this fits its mission of organizing and making accessible the world’s information, quickly updates it with a couple of neat...

Microsoft invests a lot of time and effort in (selective) backwards compatibility. It’s one of the draws to the OS. In past leaks of code we have seen it’s code base is littered with special cases. I can’t find the link but here have this almost good enough reddit link: reddit.com/…/microsoft_really_understands_backwar…

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

arran4,

Not sure 12 hours is enough time for me to grab much. Perhaps my backlog.

arran4,

That part was understood. I don’t think I could complete 1 game in that period of time.

arran4,

Thanks. I didn’t know, it is also on my list.

Ukraine denies US requested to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries (newsukraine.rbc.ua)

Ukraine did not receive calls from the United States to cease attacks on Russian oil refineries, according to the advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak. Earlier, the media reported on Washington’s alleged request to Kyiv....

At some point they said that after beta it would be $9 a month. But that messaging seems to have disappeared.

arran4,

I’m contemplating trying to run the meta bridge locally to get around that issue, it has to do with their server running in I think Finland?

arran4,

I feel like I have been doing this all my life. I think it’s more to do with the depth of understanding too. But the environment has to support it, if there is an expectation that everyone is an expert from day one, and there is no room for self improvement then it can’t be done.

As stated there are down falls with the approach such as lack of exposure to new ideas. You still need to look just not study. But to me it’s also a work/life balance policy. But don’t practice it in extreme as it can hold you back. Good work places should allow for some learning time and I’m hoping that gets normalized.

arran4,

Age old rule, invert the statement; they aren’t ready, don’t start now they don’t think it would be fair.

arran4,

Used to use it a lot. However these days I prefer window’d terminals that popup with a keyboard shortcut. To answer op. I use konsole atm. Usually that suffices, I don’t know what features I’m missing but I keep an eye on Warp. Tempted to write my own /again./

arran4,

Would this mean free news for all residents and citizens and journalist get paid for consumption?

arran4,

IIRC print them out and get them signed by a justice of the peace, police officer, or post office worker or some such.

arran4,

Don’t let your guard down but at some point trust and risk consideration is required for most systems to work. If you’re after solutions; you could run your own node in the cloud and federate it.

arran4, (edited )

The busybox one seems great as it comes with shells. php looks like it would add some issues.

Personally since I use go, I would create a go embedded app, which I would make a deb, rpm, and a dockerfile using “goreleaser”


<span style="color:#323232;">package main
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">import (
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	"embed"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	"net/http"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">//go:embed static/*
</span><span style="color:#323232;">var content embed.FS
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">func main() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		// Serve index.html as the default page
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		http.ServeContent(w, r, "index.html", nil, content)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	})
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	// Serve static files
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.FS(content))))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	// Start the server
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Would be all the code but allows for expansion later. However the image goreleaser builds doesn’t come with busybox on it so you can’t docker exec into it. goreleaser.com/customization/docker/

Most of the other options including the PHP one seem to include a scripting language or a bunch of other system tools etc. I think that’s overkill

arran4,

Matrix with bridges can help consolidate them. Some managed versions exist like Beeper and Element. Been slowly moving to that. Will eventually self host.

arran4,

The people that do care the most have a choice to use older cars and that reduces resistance now.
