Yes. And in the past days email notifications on android had some "off-by-1" error for me: when a new mail came in, the notification had the subject of the previous email. Did anyone else observe this?

(They are not accepting bug reports on their github repo currently.... )

I can totally second this. Embedded rust in general has been an excellent experience for me. And async with embassy-executor works really well and takes a lot of pain off the whole rtos design process.

I've also tried to optimize c++ compile times on large projects a few times. I never got IWYU working properly and I always hated the fact that I still have to care about header files at all. Then I switched to doing rust full time, which made all the fiddling with header files obsolete. This felt amazing. But now I'm facing the same problem, slow compile times :). Only this time I have to rely on the compiler team to make the improvements and I cant do much on my side AFAIK.

I feel like release tarballs shouldnt differ from the repo sources. And if they do, there should be a pipeline which generates and upload the release artifacts....

Can somebody write a script which diffs the release tarballs from the git sources for all debian packages and detects whether there are any differences apart from the files added by autotools :)?

I gave the webapp and android app a quick test. It looks nice, but it is still not as smooth as google photos or similar. E.g. the photos are not preloaded fully and I still need to wait a few milliseconds to get a photo fully rendered. (Also there is some white flickering when swiping through the photos on android)

I wonder how the big players do it. Of course they have a lot more manpower, but maybe the also have some clever caching/rendering lib..?

Kudos for doing this and opensourcing everything. I really appreciate this and I might stick around.

I once submitted a bugreport to spotify regarding a problem with the chromecast integration. The support-agent asked me the following questions in turn, which I all followed:

- Can you reinstall the app and try again?

- Can you describe step by step how to reproduce the bug?

- Can you make a screencast showing the problem?

- Can you factory-reset your phone and check if the issue persists?

I've never heard back after doing the last step. They probably didn't think I would report back again. (Thanks god I had an old phone lying around...)

Needless to say the problem is still there today...

I would like to see a GPT that has the latest knowledge of the libraries I want to discuss with him.

E.g. if I paste rust code with a serde invocation, the bot should look at doc.rs to find out the correct usage of the library. Or even better: scan the entire github repo, so that it is up2date with the crate.

Email and Git = <3 3 years ago

off topic, but why does the page (step 2) rant about protonmail?

Can somebody elaborate?

Be advised that Protonmail is generally known to be a pretty bad email host. [...] Not to mention their mistreatment of open source and false promises of security! You should consider a different mail provider.

I'm happy subscriber of protonmail and proton calendar. Those are products which provide some value to me, that other products can't (end-to-end encryted, privacy-first, ....).

I would like to see other apps such as proton contacts or proton notes, that provide the same values.

However, I'm not sure if we need another password manager, there are so many already that propose exactly the values listed above...

How likely is it, some bad actor can pull off a MitM on someone using a resident/coporate connection (and not a public hotel wifi...) ? How would one even pull this off? (Except for ISPs or security agencies)

What issues are you talking about on android? Using e/os/ here with native autofill and yes this seems to have some issues :/ (mainly keyboard not auto-closing I think)
