Not possible on wayland, maybe on X11 protocol?

Much like how a poor workman always blames his tools, people using poor tools always blame themselves.

I mean, Donald E Norman wrote The Philosophy of Everyday Things in the 80s!(Later became "The Design of Everyday Things")

And yet, today, we will still have a bunch of people defending Gnome's design decisions, or the latest design decisions from Apple, etc.

I am still to blame if I choose a bad tool. Especially if I should know better.

I point to the first USB port as the harbinger of things to come - try it one way, fail, turn it around, fail again, then turn it around one more time.

Just like AI, except there are unlimited axis upon which to turn it :-/

2028: 3/8ths of availability

Actually, forget about the site...

The view from the bottom is turtle asses all the way to the top.

This looks like a vanity project: the value gained switching from zig to Rust is likely to be negative at best, without even the usual caveat devs use of "learned a new skill".

This. You can't learn by viewing, you learn by doing.

That bill is gonna come due at some point for "developers" leaning heavily on agents.

> JFTR: achieving that capacity retention is a question of charge settings. Pretty much any Lithium ion battery can achieve it if you don't charge it to the absolute maximum possible each time.

Thats great news - manufacturers who want to ship sealed phones have to charge intelligently.

In fact, I'd take this constraint:

> There's an exception for batteries that "retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 charge cycles."

even further: retain at least 80% of capacity of 5k charges and commit with escrow money to maintain the software for 10 years. If the manufacturer is unable to commit, with money, to a 10 year support cycle, then the must provide at least ability to root the phone without needing manufacturer consent.

It would be nice if manufacturers stopped shipping disposable phones...

> We should not underestimate that step: reading code line by line might easily require more time than writing it from scratch.

Might?

Reading code you did not write is always going to take more time if you do it properly.
