For a linux phone

The proton drive app does not have a way to automatically sync a specific directory. It’s so infuriating, because they already have this implemented for the pictures.

I’m suggesting building a Rust library and exposing a C ABI. That’s what rsvg does for example.

You’re aware that Rust gives you access to the full C ABI?

What language are you going to use instead that has a better ABI story? Swift? Or maybe a dynamic language like Python?

He says he has had permission. Given that it’s a mostly 1 person project it’s possibly true.

It does, but it’s not really meant to. Ito add new businesses, use everydoor.

Like sudo that has had zero days lurking for 10 years?

I’m not advocating for reimplementing stuff for no good reason though.

Everydoor is a great android app for quickly contributing POIs based on standard presets. It’s very efficient

If you want to be the absolute most efficient for POIs, check out everydoor. It’s not very user friendly but it’s pretty much peek efficiency, and it has support for saving info that other apps don’t offer you.

And there are apps that make it very very easy and fun. Check out street complete.

You can contribute them!

There’s a pretty barebones editor in Organic Maps, but you can also check out Street Complete and Every door (more advanced and less user friendly, though insanely efficient)

Zig is a very new and immature language. It won’t be kernel-ready for at l’East another 10 years.

a better syntax

That’s pretty suggestive. Rust syntax is pretty good. Postfix try is just better for example.

Zig also uses special syntax for things like error and nullability instead of having them just be enums, making the language more complex and less flexible for no benefit.

Syntax is also not everything. Rust has extremely good error messages. Going through Zig’s learning documentation, half the error messages are unreadable because I have to scroll to see the actual error and data because it’s on the same line as the absolute path as the file were the error comes from

No hidden memory allocation

That’s a library design question, not a language question. Rust for Linux uses its own data collections that don’t perform hidden memory allocations instead of the ones from the standard library.

it’s more readable

I don’t know, Rust is one of the most readablelangueage for me.

Fast compile time

Is it still the case once you have a very large project and make use of comptime?

it’s simpler to learn

Not true. Because it doesn’t have the guardrails that rust has, you must build a mental model of where the guardrails should be so you don’t make mistakes. Arguably this is something that C maintainers already know how to do, but it’s also not something they do flawlessly from just looking at the bugs that regularly need to be fixed.

Being able to write code faster does not equate being able to write correct code faster.

Really great interop with C

Yes, because it’s basically C with some syntax sugar. Rust is a Generational change.

It is absolue in safe Rust, aka 99% of Rust code.

Norway

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant using your phone as a trackpad sorry

Kde connect has that I think

WhatsApp has MITM on the server side which is how Facebook scans your messages for targeted advert

You shouldn’t make claims like this when there is no evidence for it.

Signal which (unless they changed something with the profiles thing) was always P2P E2E

Signal has never been P2P.

They dix not build the compositor from scratch, they built it on top of smithay, a library similar to wlroots but written in Rust.

I don’t know if you’ve actually tried to use GTK or QT, but it’s insanely painful. There is a reason almost all apps are written in Electron. Native GUI toolkits suck. If they had used GTK they would have still had an outdated and hard to maintain toolkit, and to deal with Gnome politics. Using GTK was actually the initial idea.

If we want Linux Desktop to succeed, at some point we have to build tools that people want to use. I’m glad they’re doing it.

I don’t mind them having account there. They need to reach people where they are after all. I’m pissed at them for not being on any platform that is not owned by a fascist enabler oligarch at best.
