I’m sure she was super impressed.

If you’d like a GUI, use Trayscale with it.

The Linux version does not provide a GUI on its own but still makes it super easy to login and manage

I dunno what you’re talking about. Stock dialer has it for me.

Apple iOS Settings app showing “Silence Unknown Callers” toggle

Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.

The Mac app? That would be great. Only problem is that the plugin ecosystem is centered around macOS, and they use native UI. However, they do have a waitlist for Windows (and iOS).

Something like that is gonna be hard to pull off.

I’m pretty sure 95% of people don’t even know what Windows is. It’s just part of the computer to them.

There’s nothing wrong with the software itself. It works great for what it does. On the other hand, it’s a compatibility layer, which always increases friction between things a little. I think the best use for this is running legacy software.

There aren’t many alternatives. Maybe in the future, we’ll see graphics API abstraction libraries like wgpu get used more. This gives developers a single API which can use DirectX on Windows, Vulkan on Linux, or Metal on macOS. This could allow support for entirely new graphics APIs without developers using it having to do anything.

Of course, that’s my opinion. People can build their software how they like.

Until you actually try to use Vulkan on macOS. Since there’s no native support, you end up needing MoltenVK.

It’s likely many users still use Automator (which is from 2005). Removing it could break workflows for many people if removed. There’s a bunch of older apps in macOS like this. The latest version of macOS still has AirPort Utility, for example.

This is common with these Linux on Android-based phones. I believe Ubuntu Touch requires you to downgrade to Android 9 in most cases.

Great. Time to update Nginx on my vacuum.

Rust is a memory-safe language. So in this case, it could result in more stable software.
