I have large doubts on an AIs ability to reliably spot fakes.

This is the Olympics. Losing 1% performance because your body is fighting a barely noticeable virus is a problem.
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 If they had used GTK they would have still had an outdated and hard to maintain toolkit, and to deal with Gnome politics.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.
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.
Framasoft is already working on a peertube mobile app!
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.
You? I’m not the writer of the post…
Can you please explain what you mean?
A lower cut. 30% revenue cut means we pay more than necessary for games and we also miss out on some indie games that cannot be profitable with such a large cut.
