Wouldn't tree-shaking take care of this? i.e. If I only use 'Button' (from the UI library), nothing else should be included in the (production) bundle.

Not in practice, because these UI libraries usually have many intertwined interdependencies. <Button /> probably still imports all of the context providers, which also import their own dependencies, etc. So you end up including half of the library if not more just for a button, but if you use multiple components from the library the cost is amortised.

And typically if you're just using a single component it's one that is more complex than a button, like a popover or colour picker. Which then pulls in other components, etc.


Try: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb flameshot


Thank you. I tried that. Having the interface run under Xwayland caused a ton of problems with my monitors. I also don't use a lot of QT apps so not being able to paste was a problem.


This works for me on PopOS Cosmic (Wayland). Please lmk if my flags are incorrect.

Can you mind elaborating further how this would work? I am somewhat familiar with both of them.

Are you suggesting some sort of app store or web page to send money/bitcoin?


Nostr is a decentralized social protocol where people can send btc tips, called zaps, directly to creators.


I believe what you're saying is the benefit of Bitcoin (or other crypto) to get around gatekeepers.

I don't believe Patreon at this time supports any crypto. If they wanted they could open this up. Not sure if Apple would allow this (on an store app) without their 'slice' of the pie.


>IE was not just used to break the internet.

It still did. Did you ever have to write specific code for ie6? <shudder>


You know some of us remember Mac System [7|8|9] and how MSFT pretty much ruled everything (Apple had low %).

We kept working on the platform and developing tools and things changed. Of course Apple is a lot more powerful than MSFT back then and the general population is their target.


I might be in the minority but I have a really hard time using iOS and their apps in general (I use Android).

I struggle (and mostly curse) to figure out what swipe gesture to use to get simple stuff to just work. Not super sure all the 60fps animations and wizz-bang behaviours are being used the way you think they are.

Android isn't web either, and you're fine with using it. It's only familiarity.

I have the same issues doing anything on Android.


I've been trying to find a decent 16'' laptop (to replace my thinkpad x1 carbon).

Been running linux (popos) for donkey years and I entertained the thought I should go back to Apple and get the MacbookPro-16 (which is probably the best laptop you can buy imho).

Then I remembered all this crap that Apple does and dismissed it.


A few years ago I got the m1 macbook air (lovely hardware!). Some software update fully bricked it, which is really annoying already. Then I found out the only way to restore it was to connect it to another macbook. That was it for me.


Yep, it's the driving force why I rarely install apps. If the mobile site doesn't work well, it's a good filter that I shouldn't use it. (Doom scrolling trap).

For those that are not aware, on Android you can install Firefox and Ublock-Origin. Life saver!


And for iOS, Orion.


Off topic, but is there anything specific that you hate about Android? I find it acceptable. I'm trying to cut down my phone usage so maybe I'm more tolerant.


Not OP, but: "acceptable", that's the problem. Also I dislike Google more than Apple.


I'm wondering what adjectives you hope to apply to a phone operating system. I'm content with mine when I don't have to think about it, for which "acceptable" seems about right, and discontent when I do.
