sourcegrift··on Show HN: I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++
Given how pathetic toml is with arrays, kinda sad people go with it.
sourcegrift··on Xilem – An experimental Rust native UI framework
Very happy with qmetaobject-rs. Qt is tried and tested, dnd multi platform. Also, UI itself is best done declaratively not imperatively. Qmetaobject-rs gives you the best of both worlds: great UI declaratively, logic in Rust.
sourcegrift··on DevTerm – Portable Terminal
I'm loving my steam deck as a PC. I carry a keyboard and a mouse and Im productive. I recently bought rayneo air 4 pro as well but can't get them to work with linux. On windows they are amazing and give me a comfortable 2K screen to code on
sourcegrift··on Londoners are sick of viral videos telling lies about their city
What are the root causes behind "socio-economic"?
sourcegrift··on Stamp It! All Programs Must Report Their Version
I meant `--stamp` lol
sourcegrift··on Stamp It! All Programs Must Report Their Version
Dang please mark this post for boosting?
sourcegrift··on Stamp It! All Programs Must Report Their Version
Great post! I propose all programs have a `--version` flag. Anything similar for Rust + Cargo right now?
sourcegrift··on Ask HN: Is there any interest in a native Qt/C++ Discord client?
Make your own server, discord is not open
sourcegrift··on Improving my focus by giving up my big monitor
The answer to half the problems in this thread is a tiling window manager
sourcegrift··on Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs
"A woman had sex with identical twins and now it's impossible to tell who is the father", is this a blog post or news or sarcastic news or what the hell
sourcegrift··on LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer
The only explanation of linkedin being worth 44B is the prominent appearance of both bill gates (who started spending a day a week at MS after nadella became ceo), and reid hoffman appear prominently in epstein files. The deal itself was finalized during Trump's first term. So everything checks out
sourcegrift··on Show HN: Sycamore – next gen Rust UI library powered by fine-grained reactivity
Looks very good and probably will be my library of choice for my next web project.

For desktop, I'm very happy with qmetaobject-rs. Qt is time tested and highly reliable. And gui is, frankly, serious business.

Also, Generally speaking, UI itself is best done declaratively rather than imperatively. There's a reason quick is adopted more than qwidgets.

sourcegrift··on My son pleasured himself on Gemini Live. Entire family's Google accounts banned
Google will be a better monopoly than Microsoft i promise.

GitHub is great, I know it in the heart of my hearts.

Steam is owned by literal reincarnation of Jesus Christ, they'll never turn on me.

Loyalty is of course a quality of a decent human being. But not loyalty to corporations that you trade fair with, or worse, use YOU as a product. Only loyalty to people committed to you

Cheap chinese models incoming.
sourcegrift··on Firefox introduces Split View: Two tabs side by side, right where you need them
Tab groups used to do that
sourcegrift··on Ubuntu wants to strip some of GRUB features in 26.10 for security purposes
Wow, when did he leave microsoft? (I know some might be asking when he joined lol)
sourcegrift··on A Eulogy for Vim
Drew is genius but a toxic genius, I've been using vim for 23 years and I'd rather not use vim than use his version of that's my only choice of vim
sourcegrift··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
I'd rather they focus on productivity apps than games. Linux has enough toxic users as it is. I'll praise wine when I can install 12yo office 2014
sourcegrift··on Windows native app development is a mess
Wine cannot even install office 2014. It's not really as food as some claim sadly.
sourcegrift··on Apple announces new Mac sales record following MacBook Neo launch
This is how you extrapolate one fluff marketing tweet into a full article, watch and learn. I also had the best sales this season
sourcegrift··on Ubuntu 26.04 Ends 46 Years of Silent sudo Passwords
* phone part
sourcegrift··on Ubuntu 26.04 Ends 46 Years of Silent sudo Passwords
Sadly everyone wants convenience. Nobody hates MS because they are bad, they hate them because they are inconvenient. People are missing the fact that Google is exactly where MS was in the 90s and is most definitely as bad if not worse. I hate android sadly linux isn't looking too good rigt now on mobile.

Devs are are missing the point with linux on phone. Get the point part working first lol so that people have some incentive to carry the damned thing. Apps come later

sourcegrift··on Ask ChatGPT to pick a number from 1-10000, it generally selects from 7200-7500
Since people have been known to avoid reddit, the post claims that 95% chance of title happening when mathematically it should be 3%. Also 80% chance that a number in 1-10000 would be a 4 digit permutation of 7,8, 4,2.

Replies are funny, 2 got 6842, 1 got 6482 lol

sourcegrift··on Ubuntu 26.04 Ends 46 Years of Silent sudo Passwords
I've been using a two character password since the last 10 years of my 23 year linux usage; I log in to console and manually start X. Guess the shame will catch up now.
sourcegrift··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
I'm upset not at wayland contributors but at people like you who can't be civil and people in the thread who don't understand the problem
sourcegrift··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
ITT: "it works fine on my desktop" or in other words, fuck you I got mine.

People the problem isn't whether you're able to run it, wayland does work fine for mainstream, the problems that anyone who's not mainstream cannot even take a fucking screenshot and that's bad for openness. Or open the window at the position of closed last time. That's bad for openness (and opening)

sourcegrift··on Astral to Join OpenAI
RAM prices go down. My hope though is that the period RAM prices stay up will put electron apps out of market.

Grok recently created a cancer vaccine for a dog that reduced tumor size by 75%
