Interesting little article about the utter clustermess that is writing desktop apps for Windows. Fortunately I’m not in that business. For something like Linux that has always been criticised for being sprawling the solution has been “just use Qt” for 30 years and it’s been pretty much perfect.

Microsoft Hasn’t Had a Coherent GUI Strategy Since Petzold

A few years ago I was in a meeting with developers and someone asked a simple question: “What’s the right framework for a new Windows desktop app?” Dead silence. One person sugges…

Implemented the handling for “Sign in with Apple” in my little Rust server. The mobile app sends the identifier given by SiwA, sends it to the server which then creates a signed request and sends it to an Apple server. The result is ok if the user is valid and my server can then set up a normal authorisation token and send back to the app. Pretty simple but still nice to have it all also in the Rust server.

@Revertron I wasn’t, but that would be pretty awesome too. Unfortunately he seems to be in slightly better health.
Could the fucker finally be dead or dying?

@floooh There's absolutely nothing in Tahoe that I need nor want, so holding off with the update as long as possible. Maybe Apple has fixed some of the most awful issues and bugs when I'm finally forced to cave in.

It boggles the mind that they released something as bad as Tahoe.

Meh, Xcode 26.4 requires Tahoe. I had hoped to survive until the fall on my nicer Sequoia. Will stay on 26.3 then for as long as possible.

@jaanus maybe. But nobody seems to do anything about it. One protest every six months does absolutely nothing. Nothing else seems to happen. The systems in that malfunctioning society seem totally broken. When he finally dies this will repeat at best every four years when the idiots vote in another narcissistic populist.

Really annoying that the US had to go and close the strait of Hormuz in their utter lack of any form of planning or understanding how things work. Now the whole world has to suffer the consequences. I hope they are proud to be hated by the whole world.

@jmkorhonen.fi They can get away with it so why not? What are we dumb Europeans to do? Send them a strongly worded letter? We’re pretty much fucked as we’ve let our defence industries rot and relied on US weapons.

It’s surprisingly fast to mechanically convert my REST API to gRPC as the logic is already done and only a thin wrapper needs to be done for the app. Slowest part is getting the Rust server compiled. :)
