Actually not that important, it also does the same as shift-up/down and I think it's more a convenience feature that one can keep ctrl pressed when it was pressed as ctrl-shift-left/right for word selection and one then presses up/down.

Good keybindings, some are missing compared to what normally works, e.g., in the browser text input area or in gnome-text-editor (Ctrl-Shift-Up/Down was one I directly ran into).
I've found https://github.com/gphalkes/tilde to work quite well, it also supports the system clipboard. Nice to see a Rust alternative.

So great that they worked on it! It seemed to be part of the arti work for a couple of years but I wasn't sure it was really on the roadmap. Wanted to do something like this since 2017 with smoltcp and also had a glued together version of it via badvpn/tun2socks (large DNS responses were broken though).

What's truly missing for Wasm and WASI to be an alternative to POSIX is dynamic instatiation so that a Wasm program/component can start another Wasm program/component by providing the bytecode at runtime. So far I don't think anyone is working on that.

Many apps depend on running an "official" Android distro from Google, Samsung, etc. and don't work with Waydroid's Lineage-based distro. I think the Wine-like approach from https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_transla... might help to trick apps into believing that they run on an "official" Android distro.

Here is a list of implemented syscalls, but of course each checked one could still be slightly incompatible:

There was also the similar project Kerla¹ but development stalled. Recently people argued that instead of focusing on Rust-for-Linux it would be easier to create a drop-in replacement like these two. I wonder if there are enough people interested to make this happen as a sustained project.

You can embed attachments in PDFs. This way you could include CSV or JSON files into your PDF report. For a quick way doing it with CLI see `qpdf --help=add-attachment`

A major problem is that one can only have a single connection. It would be nice to do WiFi Direct or AdHoc mode while being connected to an AP. Being able to use WiFi without losing the AP connection (or having a standardized AdHoc channel for discovery) would replace uses of Bluetooth in consumer devices where Bluetooth is used for the initial connection to join a WiFi - some devices rely on WiFi Direct but the UX is very bad because the AP connection gets lost.

Seems parts of the needed adapters do exist:

Great to see it getting ready. Since the USB-C Power Delivery port doesn't support Display Port output, maybe there is a complex adapter that could splice the HDMI signal in (converted to Display Port) while still supporting data and Power Delivery?

I love that his exists without even being in the need of it!

I don't understand what the advantages are over Servo's inbuilt web browser¹. So far they look the same when opening but the inbuilt web browser is more stable (I see rendering bugs with Verso and it panics when entering a domain without the http(s):// prefix).
