She’s not going to prison. Just electronic bracelet. And that’s assuming appeals don’t work.

But her emails!

Car dealerships are fair game I don’t care what happens to cars there. But an individual’s car, I wouldn’t go beyond leaving notes on the windshield, otherwise you’re just making people angry for no good reason. Before 2020 a lot of people may have bought a Tesla and while Musk was always fishy, at the time it wasn’t any worse than most other car companies. And not everyone can “just sell” their cars. Cybertrucks though… These are actively dangerous and disabling them is a matter of public safety 😝

I wasn’t thinking about applets but more about full-blown libcosmic applications.

Gnome Circle bas a lot of very simple apps that do just 1 thing and weight a couple MB each at worst.

With iced such an ecosystem would be at 20MB per app, so simple " don’t 1 thing and do it right" apps would be less scalable. And I doubt you would want to have all of gnome circle as a multicall binary.

It looks like I was right: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/pull/282

20MB for every simple application is a lot, and multical binaries won’t be an option for third party developers.

This is still worth the much better DX of using Rust though.

This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?

The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn’t do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.

Anyway I’m thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.
