I'd agree that Avalonia has come a long way in a short time. It has a lot of potential, but there aren't a lot of UI control libraries available yet.

I'm using it for a personal project and it's very good for cross platform consistency. The trouble is that building a good looking UI is still difficult. Some of that is my lack of knowledge, but some is lack of available docs, examples, and community.

Here's hoping they keep growing those things and become a viable alternative.

There aren't any great cross platform UI frameworks for .net. There are a few out there, but they are not as robust as what you can do with stuffing a react app into electron.

I would prefer they add caldev and carddev to the bridge app so thunderbird can have access to calendar and contacts. I feel that would be better setup for power users, but the integrated desktop app helps normies adopt.

I mean, I can fix them, but not because I'm a programmer. Makes it hard for normies to understand the difference.

Is that profit or revenue? I'm curious how much it costs to print vs what you sell for, in terms of materials and everything outside your time to do the cad work.

For windows only folks, mouse without borders is a great option and it's built into windows power toys, otherwise synergy is a excellent cross platform solution that's worth the license cost.

I don't understand the question. Mozilla, or Firefox rather supports pwa on android, they dropped it from desktop Firefox for reasons that aren't clear to me. I'm not sure how it would play out on iOS. I guess we'll find out here soon enough.

Definitely added some coverage to less computer tech, like the car reviews and pure science coverage, but in terms of treating their readers well, they're still very good. Not that the bar is high, but still.

Money. They don't get a cut of a pwa app.

Write your data as base64 string and scroll it star wars intro style. Bam, unlimited storage on Google via YouTube once you write an ocr to base64 decoder.

Seems the second group is a vocal minority. This feature helps the first group, but doesn't help the second group.

According to Signal, the first group is the larger group and this helps the most users of Signal.

Could it be better? Sure. This is still a good step in terms of privacy, even though it doesn't really improve anonymity.

I think this is a fairly common use case. Maybe not the most common, but I've definitely seen this at multiple shops.

Density of RAM on hosts is often a limiting factor for scaling. Not every app is CPU hungry. Some just need to be available, and running a whole is for isolation is the way it's done in a lot of shops.
