Be warned: if you need glasses, then you won't be able to use a #steamframe without prescription insets.
The spacer adds space between the eyes and the lenses, but the actual frame of glasses can't fit in the surrounding space. It's just too tight.
Has there ever been discussion of making #WireGuard an IETF standard?
I spent the better part of the day getting RetroArch properly running on #postmarketOS on a #OnePlus6. Now that it works wonderfully, I discover that this device's USB-C port doesn't work in host mode 😭😭😭😭
Every time I receive a "We're updating our terms and conditions" email, all I can read is "I Am Altering the Deal, Pray I Don’t Alter It Any Further.".
#GitLab's new "rebase and fast forward" in a single button press is a huge improvement to applying merge requests!
Rust is not ADHD-friendly: the compilation times are long enough that someone can easily get distracted with something else. E.g.: posting on mastodon about the long compilation times.
Anyway, off to write an epub reader I guess. It's mostly HTML in a ZIP file, "how hard can it be?" I ask myself, naively.
Almost every library I used I have to fix bugs first. Half the time I need to write my own programs to do things.
I really wish I could just… find stuff that works.
OTOH, people who use my own programs do report bugs, so I guess I'm part of the norm.
Everything is always broken. A rant.
I went to fix a bug where a program of mine didn't properly render inactive border when unfocused. It turned out to be a compositor bug. Hours later: sent a patch.
I want to read web articles as epub on my ereader. I wrote a program to convert pages to epub. Now just need to render it. No program on Linux can render AND reflow epub files.
The obvious choice is to just write my own...
Why does #niri do this fade-out and fade-in when windows get resized, but animate the borders? Why not actually animate resizing the contents too (i.e.: re-render the window in all the intermediate sizes)?
It just seems to weird that the content fades out and back in again during resizes.
@cadey Please don't re-use the Assisted-by: to indicate when LLM-based tools were used. That trailer is already used for a different purpose (indicating when another person has assisted in a patch). Use the dedicated AI-assistant: instead.

The README says that one of the motivations for this markdown parser was the need for a parser that "preserves source position of nodes".
But the parser doesn't preserve source positions, in favour of performance? 🤪
It's driving me crazy how we're increasing dependency on Google and Apple for online payments, while calling it a "European, independent, future-proof" system.
So Dutch banks want to stop relying on American corporations like Visa and Mastercard, and are launching "Wero" a new online payment mechanism which is only usable via an "app" for iOS or Android, and not usable on the web or regular computers.
Do I really need to point out that Google and Apple have the exact same risks as Visa and Mastercard? I can't believe this isn't obvious to everyone else, sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy.
The thing about C having its stable ABI, is that C code can easily be re-used from pretty much any language under the sun.
Most new languages are failing in this aspect. They don't just require bindings: they require bindings that perform translations... into a C-compatible API..
My Rust library for CalDAV is barely usable outside Rust. Exposing its functionality via a C API requires reshaping a lot of it.
macOS 26: certified as Unix. Uses the XNU kernel.
XNU: XNU is Not Unix.
Once every two months I need to open an odt, docx or xls file, and for this purpose alone, I need to keep installed #libreoffice, which accounts for more than 10% of the total size of all locally installed software. Each update requires transferring hundreds of megabytes. It doesn’t seem like a sensible trade-off.
I keep forgetting that in American English, “gas” refers to *liquid* fuel!
