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.

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.

The thing you’re missing is the xdg-desktop-portal .

I’m not sure how to actually configure. On sway I got it working at some point and stopped touching anything.

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.

Sorry, it looks like the link was lost when cross-posting. I updated the post

In France it’s legally a bike only if the electric assistance stops once you reach 25 km/h. Anything where the motor can go higher than that (or even something where the motor can push when you’re not pedaling) is considered to be a light scooter and therefore need a license plate and can’t go on bicycle paths.

I thinks it’s pretty fair. The only issue is that some sellers advertise those little scooters as electric bikes so some people use them without being aware they’re illegal.

Also, here is the source, with even more comics: https://social-ecology.org/wp/2020/04/new-social-ecology-comic/

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.

Does System76 sell a single device with touch screens?

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.

I’m not too bothered about what is being sent with user consent

For an app to be private, it shouldn’t be about “consent”, but it should be about “demand”. Send something only if the user demands it, not if they agreed to it. This goes with the principle of least surprise and the idea that the app should only act for the interest of the user.

the constant sending of identifiable and locatable data

Have you ever used such feature? I don’t think you understand what is being asked. We’re not talking about constant background location sharing (like I think snapchat is doing). We are talking about live location sharing with a contact or a group, for a limited period of time.

Here how it works in Facebook Messenger. The location is shared explicitly with a specific group of people for a limited time period, and the UI should make it pretty hard to forget, and deactivate automatically after a certain time.

The purpose of an app like Signal is specifically to be able to share stuff with people.

What makes it private is that you are in full control over who can see what you send. You’re arguing that for something to be private it must prevent you from sending what you want to send.

It’s peanuts compared to video calls, which signal already supports.
