Don’t know Almalinux, but can vouch for bcachefs root being just fine with NixOS.

I hope you do not have an ice vehicle parked in your house currently, as these tend to burn much more often…

No, even for stopwatch, trigger on release is the correct choice, as it’s more precise.

When tapping, I have to see, or in case of watching for some event to happen to stop the time, feel/guess when exactly the distance between screen and finger approaches zero. With a stop button triggered by release however, I can just calmly rest my finger on it and raise when the event happens, without any guesswork.

Even if SwiftUI, Qt and whatever Windows uses this morning were absolutely perfect, developers would write web UI slop to not have to write three frontends. That, and familiarity with JS are the whole reason.

YouTube succeeds for its content. Its UI is hot garbage both in the web and their apps. Google Maps is an atrocity and I’m very thankful Apple has decent data where I live. Roblox I don’t know, other websites I consume mostly in Reader mode.

Styling every application independently because it’s all individual Electron UI without a shared toolkit is much better indeed…

Great for the developer. The user doesn’t use Mac, Windows and Linux. Just one for work and one at home, with mostly different apps, so they couldn’t care less if it looks the same on different platforms.

I switched to Kagi little over a year ago and couldn’t recommend it enough. The search results are actually what I’m searching for, there is AI for the occasions I want it (and only then), and it comes with nice extras like search personalization and a great translation app. Tried to live without it when my first year of subscription ran out, but I didn’t last long…

In turning into a far-right echo-chamber? Of the direct competitors, only Threads is closed. Mastodon has no ~algorithm~ discover feed, Bluesky is completely open source.

Why not use native for UI frame (menu, toolbar, conversation list etc) and WebKit for the actual chat? I think that would combine the best of both worlds.

> Crux doesn't seem to support desktop targets

Only partially true: macOS is supported, and one can fall back to the web. But you're right in that native Windows and Linux are still missing.

> Linux

Problem with Linux of course is that it's almost as fragmented as Windows, with Qt and GTK being the main toolkits, but a dozen more if you ask the wrong people :D I personally don't like GTK, to me it (well, mainly Gnome) looks and feels like trying to copy macOS without understanding what makes it great, but Qt is a toolkit I can get behind…

Only reasonable way is shared core with thin UI layer on top. For Rust there is Crux, don’t know for other languages. Everything else is just compromise, like all Flutter apps I know on iOS are just atrocious.

Apple had much longer support lifetimes for their products than all their competitors long before talk of mandatory minimums started to reach actual governments.

Well, except Google Maps nowadays sucks for everything but POI discovery, and even that is getting worse with reviews getting tinkered with more and more. Not to speak of the abomination Google calls an user interface.

Only reason to use Google nowadays for me is travel in countries where neither Apple nor OSM have good coverage.
