  • This article I came across convincingly disputes the idea that JIS is meaningfully different from other cross head standards. I do not have access to the standards myself to corroborate.

  • Wikipedia disputes the claim of cam out being deliberate

    The design is often criticized for its tendency to cam out at lower torque levels than other "cross head" designs. There has long been a popular belief that this was a deliberate feature of the design, to assemble aluminium aircraft without overtightening the fasteners.[15]: 85 [16] There is no good evidence for this suggestion, and the property is not mentioned in the original patents.[17]

  • Weird list, appears to include both antisemitic and anti Zionist events, and even includes the fake caravan bomb?

    Gotcha! 🤣

  • I've recently started a handful of projects exploring the rust gui ecosystem and the experience has been... disappointing.

    • The most mature native library I've seen is Druid, which is deprecated in favour of Xilem. Xilem is highly experimental.
    • Slint is somehow used by several industry partners, yet is incapable of rendering flowing text documents, and only just brought in text formatting (via Xilem's text library oddly enough).
    • Egui seems a bit more capable, but it has the usual downsides of immediate mode gui without any of the typical upsides (you can't intermingle gui elements with logic, the gui has to all go in one place).
    • Dioxus is reasonably capable but is absolutely webtech focused, which seems likely anathema to Op.
    • Iced I haven't used beyond hello world, and I didn't enjoy that experience.

    AFAICT the most mature rust gui libraries are the rust bindings for C's GTK and C++'s Qt.

    I also - somewhat controversially - disagree with "very well documented". Rust projects consistently have published API references - which is great! The actual quality of the API references is mixed. Actual documentation - such as intended usage, common patterns, design intent - are much more sparse. Of the GUI libraries I listed, only Dioxus and Slint come close.

  • I've used GTK and WxWidgets for C programs. GTK is more powerful but takes longer to get used to its idioms as I recall

  • Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

  • Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.

  • Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it's pretty straightforward, but it's something to be aware of.

  • HeliBoard let's you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?

  • God forbid you don't squeeze every drop out of your customers

  • Every time

  • Word suggestions/spell checking are not included in the current releases and are a major goal for the v0.6 milestone.

    I've been watching Florisboard since before that text read "v0.5". It's a good keyboard but can't be a daily driver for me without that.

  • Heck there have been people arrested for posting Trump or Charlie Kirk comments unedited.

    In Australia?

  • I had to make that technology decision recently and decided on Zigbee. I don't see any real advantage to Matter other than future support, and current support is much much lower than Zigbee.

    The "seamless internet/cloud connection" is a massive turnoff. Products proudly advertising Matter and then hiding Thread vs WiFi is a pain. And frankly only IKEA really seems to be offering anything Matter with AU plugs and they're super coy about it so I'm never confident about what I'm getting.

  • Check what version of Syncthing-fork you're running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

    AFAICT F-droid hasn't built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub's end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don't believe those are published anymore)
