frizlab··on Orion Browser by Kagi
And they have announced having funded a team for Orion on windows at the end of 2025.

I use 1Blocker which works very well too.
frizlab··on AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making

frizlab··on Everybody's Weirded Out by AI–Except the People Who Foist It on Us
I am reading and writing this on my computer with my iPad next to me (side screen for alternate content). I plan on probably buying one for my wife who is not tech-savvy (to say the least).

I don’t think the analogy makes any sense whatsoever either.

frizlab··on Using Go for Mobile Apps
Ah WASM I don’t really know. I know they are actively working on it[1], but I could not tell you where they’re at exactly, especially compared to bindgen. I wanted to try some time ago, but it really was not ready, and now I don’t have the time anymore (:

frizlab··on Using Go for Mobile Apps
Honestly nowadays Swift seems a better fit IMHO, though it is probably a matter of taste.

I use the same language everywhere, but Swift (:
frizlab··on Understanding the Odin programming language
Yes, but only classes are GC (refcounted as parent comment says, indeed). structs and other elements are not.

You can even use the same ownership model as rust (borrowing et al.) with non copyable types.

frizlab··on Understanding the Odin programming language
Did you try Swift? Its interoperability with C (and even C++) is great IMHO.
frizlab··on Swift-Nio-QUIC
Honestly this is not my project, this is Apple’s.

Apart from that I don’t know what quiche you’re talking about. I found one from cloudflare in rust (probably can’t be used w/ Swift), and another from google in C++, which could probably be used… but why? The whole point of the repo is to implement QUIC’s stack.

I also found the quiche browser which is most definitely not you’re talking about?

frizlab··on Good Tools Are Invisible
Sublime is a very good editor indeed.
frizlab··on How version control will evolve for the agent boom
If only we had a way of describing exactly and in great detail to the machine what to do! Some sort of language, maybe, idk… /s
frizlab··on Rewriting Bun in Rust
Obviously my comment of irresponsibility was “given that there is a choice.”

Though that’s one nice thing about Swift: it has a very good interop’ with C now, and a “starting to get pretty good” interop’ with C++. So that can help, sometimes. (Obviously, I reiterate, I understand there are situations where the choice is just not possible, and enhancing C and C++ is indeed a good thing.)

frizlab··on Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)
Not AFAIK, no.
frizlab··on Rewriting Bun in Rust
My personal memory and concurrent-safe option is Swift. And I agree, choosing a non-memory safe language for a new project is close to irresponsible today…
frizlab··on Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)
AFAIK, yes.

`cmd-J` -> Uncheck “Show icon preview”

Hopefully it’s enough, but I haven’t tried.

I don’t have much actually, but at least:

    - Batch rename files (select multiple files, right click, “Rename…”);
    - Show/hide hidden files: `shift-cmd-.`;
    - Go to folder: `shift-cmd-G`;
    - `cmd-1` to `cmd-4` to quickly change view.

You can downvote me all you want, but morally, what has been done is unacceptable.

Most people having issues with the finder do not know half of what it can do; it’s interesting, really.
frizlab··on Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)
Says who?

I do not think people actually think it’s not stealing in all honesty. I’m pretty sure it’s something like “but we cannot do differently” and we kind of collectively “decided” to stop talking about it.

It’s still plainly wrong, and a theft.

First screenshot on the front page has a design issue: text of selected file is in black instead of white.

If you do that as an individual you are going to prison though.

And now for a fun game with this: try and delete all the pods!
frizlab··on Swift Package Index joins Apple
At that point I’m gonna need specific examples, because such differences between platforms are getting more and more sparse…

Also I’m not sure what the Core thing you’re talking about even is.

frizlab··on Swift Package Index joins Apple
As per my experience, the learning curve of Swift is easier than rust’s. Yes, obviously, it’s subjective. Yes, if you want to do complex things in Swift (e.g. generic packs), the syntax is more complex, but that’s not needed every day.

As per the tooling, idk enough to report on that.

As per the LLMs remark, I do not use that at all, still, and hopefully never will, though I already know I won’t have the choice at some point, sadly.

frizlab··on Swift Package Index joins Apple
> Is the feature I need available for this Linux device?

If it’s in Foundation, yes. Swift 6 on Apple OSes now (since a while ago actually) uses the same open-source foundation as Linux. If it’s a proprietary framework (e.g. TabularData), no. It’s simple.

For the rest, almost all Swift packages developed by Apple are fully compatible with Linux, and the documentation of said packages is usually explicit wrt. platform specifics, AFAIK.

frizlab··on Swift Package Index joins Apple
Swift on Linux has changed since a few years ago. A lot.

I prefer Swift over rust as it has the same memory-safety guarantees with a much more approachable syntax, and is generally easier to work with.

frizlab··on Tacky men with ridiculous glasses want you to wear them too
Yes, obviously? Holding a phone to film someone is obvious, having glasses that film is just having glasses…
