Signal sends you a notification that says "new version available, tap here to update", but tapping it never did anything for me. I have to re-download the apk their website every time there is an update.

I did not know about this. I used it on Fedora, and I thought Fedora was as close to "default GNOME" as possible.

In tipical GNOME fashion, they have decided to replace this largely working piece of software with on with one that places solidly at the bottom of the article's list (ptyxis).
Re:iOS 27 is adding a 'Create a Pass' button to Apple Wallet

I think "create" is the confusing part. It should be "digitize" or something. Either this, or "pass" means something else here.

Lucky you, I guess. In all the companies I worked for I have had a company-provided Windows laptop where the OS was managed by IT. The degree of freedom (e.g. what software could I install, what websites were blocksd) varied.

I am a European in Europe and I expect the same. Why would I assume otherwise? The company laptop is full of spyware, starting from the OS. I have no reason to consider it "mine", and no desire to do so. If I want to do anything private (including things that my company would not like) I can do so from my private devices.

Re:C++26: Std:Is_within_lifetime
on Friday February 20, 2026 @04:51AM (#47085839)
I see what you mean now, thanks. To reproduce that example with std::variant I would need some kind of strong type alias, which as far as I know is missing from C++; so the only feasible way to do that would be wrapping the string in another class or struct.
Re:C++26: Std:Is_within_lifetime
on Thursday February 19, 2026 @02:36PM (#47078111)
I am not sure what you mean, you can definitely have e.g. an
std::variant<int, std::string, bool>

It's already like this, unless you go out of your way to install a custom Android rom, which 99.9% of people will never do.
I agree it is unacceptable.

But dog breeds are much more diverse than humans. For example, a chihuahua weights about 2kg, a St. Bernard about 70kg. That's a 35x size difference.

> Are people making user facing apps in rust with uis?
We are talking not only about Rust, but also about C and C++. There are lots of C++ UI applications. Rust poses itself as an alternative to C++, so it is definitely intended to be used for UI applications too - it was created to write a browser!
At work I am using tools such as uv [1] and ruff [2], which are user-facing (although not GUI), and I definitely appreciate a 16x speedup if possible.
Re:Is Rust faster than C?
on Wednesday January 14, 2026 @10:02AM (#46616802)
I think this is related to the C++ standard library implementation.
Using pthread in C, for example, TBB is not required.
Not sure about C11 threads, but I have always thought that GLIBC just uses pthread under the hood.

Re:I program without syntax highlighting
on Thursday January 08, 2026 @08:28AM (#46540726)
On my personal devices, I turned off syntax highlighting a few years ago to see how hard it would be to live without, but I ended up liking it and I have not turned it back on since. I am mostly working on small (<10k LOC) projects, or single-file programs (e.g. Advent of Code).
However, at work I am working on a much larger code base, and the extra help given by syntax highlighting (for example, having a quick visual feedback on whether a method exists or not) is valuable to me.
I think this also depends on the language used: at home I mostly program in C, but if I were doing more e.g. C++, I would probably enjoy some syntax highlighting.

This seems to be the best guess so far. But then I am wondering, how is
a (*) b + c
a * (b + c)
(a * b) + c
a + b * c << d
(a + (b * c)) << d
a + b (*) c << d
The more I think about this, the less sense it makes...
