    I don’t see much point in making GUI apps for desktop nowadays, especially since desktop usage is in decline compared to smartphones. If you still want to, I’d go with iced, which is in rust, and well designed.

    I’d recommend learning either android jetpack-compose, or iOS app dev.






  • I removed this because it has nothing to do with linux specifically, and as expected, it brought out a lot of people defending the use of this historically racist term, and /asablackman’ing it.

    I’ve reinstated it and removed the offending comments for now.

    Also I don’t know why this needs a discussion at all. There’s hundreds of words in english for something that looks good, and you can be more specific about it : snazzy, sleek, cool, streamlined, nifty, retro








  • Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.

    Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.

    This comment by Hantong Chen is great:

    Hi James,

    Here’s what Linus has said, and it’s more than just “sanction.”

    Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:

    • Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
    • Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

    For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.
