Yeah, the greens had a risk of not getting 5% so it was much more worthwhile to vote for them.

Framasoft is already working on a peertube mobile app!
The post specifically mentioned POIs, and as far as I have tested (in France at least), Magic Earth has the same incomplete/missing POI database as organic maps, coming from OSM.
But they don’t have more data than organic maps since they’re using OSM too.
I wasn’t thinking about applets but more about full-blown libcosmic applications.
Gnome Circle bas a lot of very simple apps that do just 1 thing and weight a couple MB each at worst.
With iced such an ecosystem would be at 20MB per app, so simple " don’t 1 thing and do it right" apps would be less scalable. And I doubt you would want to have all of gnome circle as a multicall binary.
It looks like I was right: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/pull/282
20MB for every simple application is a lot, and multical binaries won’t be an option for third party developers.
This is still worth the much better DX of using Rust though.
Is there any plan to have something similar to the Gnome Circle apps for Cosmic? It’d be nice to encourage building a full ecosystem of app with libcosmic that can rival the apps of KDE/Gnome.
This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?
The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn’t do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.
Anyway I’m thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.
Why is helix there then?
I love flatpaks and flathub. They’re amazing for GUI apps, though there are still a couple of wrinkles that needs to be ironed out.
I would really love if it was better with regards to cli apps and developer tooling though. As someone that uses a lot of TUI apps that seriously limit how much I can use flatpak.
For dôme reason it’s broken for me. I had to open it in nightly for reader mode to work.
Unreadable on mobile…
But they don’t support the same API. This is completely off topic.
The backend is not
It’s developedby Google?
GTK is in bare C
, which is rather easy to interop with Rust
. Even if using GLib from Rust is a pain, GTK can and does have decent Rust bindings.
QT on the other hand is C++ with object oriented stuff, and therefore cannot have easy bindings to Rust.
They’ve never had more users.
And if you had spent 3 minutes looking at r/Signal or the support forum before they disabled SMS you would have seen how many people were confused by the feature.
You? I’m not the writer of the post…
Can you please explain what you mean?
That’s why I avoid relying on instances maintained by this type of people and instance gravitate around instances hosted by non-profits I know and trust.
Where I am in France there are multiple very friendly non-profits that are centered around Free software and how digital technologies affect our freedom, who’ve shown to be very open-minded and responsible.
Their campaign clip explicitly said that they were against « LGBT activism ».
Not even trying to hide behind excuses. They explicitly think that LGBT rights should be fought against.
