Pretty much all COSMIC desktop apps have translation support built in (because most of them are built from templates that support them). I'm sure many of them could use your help.

120Hz display works!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Big brain analysis right here. Libs really just want to keep repeating the past instead of actually fixing the problem.

The fact that people treat Rust like it's very difficult is odd to me. I write Rust because C was too hard. Lol.

I tried to learn C, but once the learning materials got into double pointers and void pointers, I stopped being able to follow it. So I went back to Rust and after about a month of practice, I no longer struggle with the borrow checking rules (usually the hardest thing for people new to Rust) and it just keeps getting easier over time.

If you know C, you're probably more than well prepared for Rust.

Three-finger drag is such a nice feature that I miss from macOS, but apparently nobody knows what it's used for (according to the Phoronix comments)?

Three-finger drag allows you to drag anything that you would otherwise have to double-tap and hold to drag with your trackpad. It is not a gesture.

This libinput update allows you to have three-finger drag and three-finger swipe gestures, which is something the macOS implementation cannot do.

Binary logging is some of the most asinine shit I've ever had to deal with on Linux (and yes, I know you can change it, but it being the default behavior is beyond absurd).

"Agentic" LLMs are turning garbage operating systems, like Microslop Winblows, into hostile and untrusted environments where applications need to run. A primary example given is how Recall constantly captures your screen and turns the image data into text that can be processed by Microslop, thus making the fact that Signal is end-to-end encrypted largely irrelevant, since your OS is literally shoulder-surfing you at all times. This is made worse by the fact that the only workaround that application developers can use to defend against this surveillance is to implement OS DRM APIs, which are also controlled by the hostile entity.

There is ad-blocking, but not with uBlock Origin.
