webkike··on Rust's Sneaky Deadlock With `if let` Blocks

webkike··on Ractor – a Rust Actor Framework
I personally find actors in rust to be too much of a head ache. You might as well use Erlang (or elixir) and do your heaving lifting in rust with somethign like https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler
webkike··on Apple's macOS Sequoia lets you snap windows into position
Try putting one window on the left half and one on the right half. There will be a pixel gap between them in the center and one on the top between the window and the top bar. 1 does not equal 0

webkike··on Gnome Files: A detailed UI examination
I have actually had more problems with the Mac OS finder then I have the gnome one, and all of my problems stem from answering the question “how do I go up a directory from where I am?” Never bothered to figure out the actual right way. Might be easy. But hard to figure out
webkike··on Make sports betting taboo again
I didn’t say that we should do nothing. What I said is we should do things within a framework that allows people who engage in activities in non harmful ways to continue to do those activities, and to have those people fund helping people who can’t.

That funding can include sweeping out illegal gambling operations that prey on vulnerable people. No one would mind taking them out of there are legal options available to them.

webkike··on Make sports betting taboo again
A human can become addicted to literally any behavior. The solution isn’t to make illegal the behaviors that can be harmful when done in excess, it is to provide addiction counseling resources at no cost funded by the people who can control themselves. And higher amounts of control, like allowing users to ban themselves, or indicators that flag users as problem gamblers.

Making the behaviors illegal doesn’t actually help people you mention, it just drives them to less safe avenues and jail. Hardly help if you ask me.

People also have a right to discover for themselves that something is dangerous to them personally. It sucks, but not everyone is going to know off the bat that they have alcoholic tendencies.

webkike··on Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
Gnome has a built in extension called “Applications Menu” that is just that.
