Can't wait for the virus that uses this to replace a windows install with a Linux install that's riced to look like windows. Will the normies even notice?

Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

This is a question regarding the frontend framework Slint

Let's take a web frontend framework as an example like React, Vue, Svelte, and so on. They allow you create components with their own distinct logic and expose an interface with which parents or siblings can react.

(I don't actually write Vue, this is just an example from memory)

<script>
let status = ref("Unknown");
async function onClick(){
  let result = await fetch("https://somewhere.org/");
  status.value = result.json()?status;
  emit("status", status);
}
</script>
<template>
<button @onClick="onClick">Check status</button>
<p>{{ status}}</p>
</template>

How can this be achieved in slint + another language (cpp, python, rust, ...)?

Say, I'm writing a desktop application and have a window, with a 3 column layout, and somewhere deep in the component tree, I have a StatusButton. This button, upon clicking is supposed to execute an IO call in my language of choice and its parent component should react to that. For the sake of the example, make it an HTTP network request that calls a server, expects a JSON with a status field.

How do I create the StatusButton component and use it in slint?

For what it's worth, I use rust, but whichever language the solution is presented in, it can probably be adapted to work in rust.

Maybe @slint@fosstodon.org can help?

I just ran into the wonderful error message

the trait is not dyn compatible because method publish_video is async

and boy, what a rabbit hole. I found out about async_trait which resolves this by turning async methods into fn method() -> Pin<Box<dyn Future + Send + 'async_trait>>, but I thought that's what the async fn was syntax sugar for??? Then I ran into this member-only medium post claiming

Rust Async Traits: What Finally Works Now

Async functions in traits shipped. Here’s what that means for your service interfaces.

But I clicked through every rust release since 1.75.0 where impl AsyncTrait was shipped and couldn't find a mention of async. Now I'm just confused (and still using async_trait). Hence the question above...

Isn't a "click" just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn't have to be any noise associated does there?

For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?

This contribution, delivered by Sven Thomsen, CIO of the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, outlines the state’s pioneering path toward digital sovereignty through Open Source and Open Innovation. It highlights the risks of dependency on proprietary software - including lack of transparency, inflated costs, and reduced security - and positions Open Standards and Open Source as essential for autonomy, resilience, and competitiveness. The speech details Schleswig-Holstein’s concrete migration from proprietary to Open Source solutions across its administration, supported by strategic planning, procurement reforms, and budget shifts. Initiatives such as the state’s Open Source Program Office (OSPO) and innovation hubs foster collaboration between government, industry, academia, and civil society, ensuring sustainable adoption and stimulating regional economic growth. Emphasizing both national security and Europe-wide competitiveness, the keynote calls for collective action to establish Open Source as the new normal in public IT systems, framing the transformation as a shared European mission for digital independence.

I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

PrivacyGuide.net mostly has US providers for these and given the current situation with the US, let's say using US services doesn't feel very private at all, regardless of how strong the claims are.

I'm not looking for total privacy, but just to start being more private until the EU gets its ducks a row regarding payment systems (VISA and Mastercard still dominate and make you transparent or at least translucid).
