If there was an easy way to use rust or something on webassemly and use that instead of JS. I’d be so happy, but I can’t find how to do it without npm.

I think that’s why Github suggests MIT as default. Unaware people will just put that. Most open source people just code things they want without thinking much on other aspects. We really need some sort of enforcement to stop companies banking on voluntary work done for the community.

You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don’t have to pay yourself

Miniserve is a program for computers. Though you can run it in termux. It just opens a tiny server instance for file sharing, you can download/upload files to a directory directory. Will also show QR for the link.

It is kinda like that. We have a tracker that we added because they increased the insurance rate and said if you install this device we’ll keep the rate low based on driving patterns.

Basically records how often you drive, hard break/sharp turns, after midnight drives, etc. We don’t drive the car often so the prob of accident is low but we recently learned that they can consider not driving enough also bad saying it can make you drive recklessly or sth.

Ever heard of open source?

That sounds like too much work, and what if there are clouds. We should make devices that can be calibrated when you’re in a certain location based on their standards and then the device will continue to show that locations’ shadow location without the sun.

Yeah sure, I’ll compile it in my OS. For any other OS, either I’m not knowledgeable about the tools available, and many of them that I am not going to spend money to acquire. If providing the binary a developer compiles for themselves would solve it, we’d not have that problem at all.

I specifically hate when program or libraries are only in compiled form, and then I get an error messages talking about an absolute path it has with some usernames I’ve never seen before, and no way to correct it as there’s no code. Turns out when people pass compiled versions to the OS they don’t use themselves they don’t encounter the errors and think it works fine.

Lol, that’s a fun angle. They don’t need all those fields coz they just get your information the other way

Dam, this is actually awesome, I actually wanted to do something similar to this but couldn’t figure things out.

I need to try again, might be able to make a virtual desktop screen and make xrandr pipe that output to that window.

Basically the thing I wanted to make is kind of like the picture in picture mode we have in browsers but for anything. Like just have those app open in a different virtual window and only remap the portion you wanna see into a always on top window.

You said you’re not allowed to use a horse on freeway and it’s not a fair comparison. But I think it is exactly that. Freeway is where the majority of traffic is and it’s analogous to some of those major platforms where everyone is nowadays. You can use a horse and go to any place as long as there is land. It’s just not practical to do it.

Yes you can make a website anyone can access but how will they find that website? You’ll need to inform the people in the web, and that’s dominated by those platforms. When people did the reddit blackout thing, reddit removed the posts and moving to lemmy, so without those posts we can’t expect people to know about alternatives. There are probably so many websites that host contents for users to post and such, but how many have we heard about? How many can we find with an internet search?

Common knowledge doesn’t mean people use it. It’s easy to forget even if you studied about it in school.

For example you is singular and plural. But we rarely use you for multiple people nowadays, we just go “you guys”, “you all”, “all of you”, or something else to disambiguate.

Languages move towards easy communication and simplicity.
