• Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way.

  One small note regarding Native Webview meant above. You can find ultimate information on this topic here. In a nutshell, Tauri applications use as HTML renderer Webkit (safari engine) on MacOS, Microsoft Edge WebView2 on Windows, and WebKitGTK on Linux (port of Webkit for Linux). Pay attention to the fact that a Tauri application could behave differently on different platforms according to the information above. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Fix Apple Bugs using a "Secret" Linux Browser

  Web (WebKitGTK) there is an alternative webkit browser that shares a lot of bugs, shortcomings, and peculiarities with Apple Safari. Simply called "Web" on my Ubuntu laptop, that "A simple, clean, beautiful view of the web. Powered by WebKitGTK 2.38.5" has also been known as Gnome Web or Epiphany in alternative builds and former version. It's got a beautiful minimalist globe icon, and it can save you time and... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Tauri reached 1.0

  So the Tauri website links to webkitgtk.org which at least is getting regularly updated, though I don't know just how closely it tracks upstream WebKit. Source: about 2 years ago

• WebKit: [WPE][GTK] Enable AVIF decoder as experimental feature and unskip tests

  Also please note that this patch is only for the WPE and GTK ports, not yet for Safari. But having it included by default in those could convince Apple to also flip the switch. Source: about 3 years ago

• I've never used FreeBSD and have some questions

  Aside from being UNIX based, what similarities does it share with Linux? Both have monolithic kernels. Source based build systems are offered (ports, which are like the portage system on Gentoo) as well as binary build systems (pkg, which is like apt, yum, pacman, etc.) Both offer a lot of free software, though more licenses are compatible with FreeBSD like CDDL, which is not compatible Linux. Both let you... Source: 7 months ago

• FreeBSD turns 30 today!

  There's no mention of a birthday on their site, and its footer says 1995-2023. That must be just the site, because Wikipedia tells me FreeBSD's initial release was indeed, but not quite, 30 years ago, November 1st 1993. Still no birthday. Source: about 1 year ago

• Computer

  I'm not the right person to ask this -- I just run it on whatever I happen to have. But I think sleep and wifi (for example) have issues with different hardware, so you'd have to do your homework. The FreeBSD handbook on freebsd.org is always very helpful to me. You can try it out with a live cd / thumbdrive to see how much supported hardware you've got. My Lenovo X1 from a couple years ago works for what I... Source: about 1 year ago

• Can SGI’s Enthusiast Community Bring IRIX Back to Life?

  People are still actively working on Illumos. The last change was yesterday morning. * https://illumos.org People are still actively working on MirBSD. There's a CVS commit account that can be followed on the FediVerse. * http://www.mirbsd.org It's DragonFly BSD, not Dragon BSD, and the irony of that is that you missed FreeBSD, which is of course still going. * https://dragonflybsd.org * https://freebsd.org As... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• X220 and beer. A lovely combo, especially with FreeBSD.

  A open source free and stable Unix-like operating system. Read more at http://freebsd.org. Source: about 1 year ago
