As someone venturing in Tauri as primarily a web dev, I can relate to this so much. Rust is great and Tauri has some stellar benefits, but until you really master the borrow mechan…

But in classic Javascript style, it's half-assed. Being able to assign anything to undefined makes the distinction between null and undefined pointless.

- A LOT of practice. One of that parts of becoming a good programmer is learning about potential pitfalls and bad practices; what better way is there of avoiding these than by maki…

Yeah, gaming on Linux has seriously come a long way thanks to the efforts of Valve and the wider community. My main issue with gaming on linux is cloud saves; while it generally wi…

Out of interest, have you tried other distributions? Perhaps Debian based like Linux Mint / Pop OS, or others like Manjaro? What keeps you using Ubuntu after all these years?

I love reading about the steady technical progress the team behind Qubes is making, despite never intending to daily drive the OS myself. It's incredibly fascinating to read up on …

Also located in Aus, and I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on one. Would love to support this company as much as I can!

> Of course, the CD-ROM only spins in one direction however. Crash Bandicoot programmers solved this issue by making it impossible to run backwards in the game. I've been playing c…

What would you consider to be a decent config file format?

Source?

Sure, a local-only password manager doesn't need a subscription, and solutions such as KeePassXC demonstrate this quite well (as a user of it myself!) However, in the case of 1Pass…

I was just thinking the exact same thing. For technical and especially non-technical folk, getting a full nextcloud host set up and working is going to take significantly more time…

This is, frankly, disgusting. What a way to show how little they actually care about the very people bringing in the tech and fresh ideas that keep Google afloat...

Now that you mention it, that would a fantastic idea; create an extension that exposes some sort of API that the browser can tap into to load suggested credentials for the current …

I'm surprised at how little regressions there were in the tests they run, given they completely disabled JIT. This could be very useful as a default 'mode' for websites, with JIT a…

I'm trying to wrap my head around the concept of 'pulling' backups, rather than pushing them. In my mind, once you make a backup, you should then transfer it to a separate system f…

I agree that our current copyright system is certainly out of hand, but it does serve a purpose. Out of curiosity, what system would you suggest in its stead?

Sins of a Solar Empire is such an underrated RTS in my opinion. Do you play the base game, or do you try out some the mods (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) as well?

"Ashes of the Benchmark", if you will.

It's not about being perfect, it's about having a solid UX such that we can start recommending it to our friends and family to help wean them off the major platforms without a lot …

I have confidence that Valve isn't going to deliver a product of this caliber and then deliver a subpar screen response time.

That would indeed be killer, but I wonder how difficult it would be for the Deck to push those sorta frames, even at 720p.

As a fellow Australian, I was thinking the same to myself. When it DOES come to Australia, wouldn't be surprised if we get SHAFTED on price. It's a real shame, because this is some…

Hopefully we'll see some sort of writeup regarding what caused the global amazon network to start chucking errors. I'm curious as to how this wasn't isolated to one individual regi…
