The Rust bindings of GTK 4 were updated to 4.0.0 this morning https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs

@sp1rit that would be a win its own right, as the legislation would require the API to be as functional for external users as internal ones. So we'd then just go build a bridge with it without fear of it being pulled out from under us :)

We've just landed HdyFlap in libhandy, to be in the 1.1.0 release! It can be used as an adaptive sidebar/bottom sheet, also in future to have proper fullscreen header bars with HdyWindow.
Shout out to @haeckerfelix for this one as he wrote the initial version for inclusion to libhandy, based on a simplistic widget I wrote for Games to use for the autohiding header bar in fullscreen.

Hurray #fediverse 🎉🎉 🤗
Big opportunities are coming to us.. hopefully!
The EU is working on 2 pieces of legislation: The Digital Services & Digital Markets Acts
DMA is about “keep[ing] our markets fair and open to competition, it’s vital that we have the right toolkit in place.”
This entails enforcing #bigtech platforms to adopt #interoperability standards.
Oh yeah, we at fedi have those already: #activitypub 🤯
Help create an EU Lobby Group!
Boosts most welcome!

Im September hat KM Susanne Eisenmann unsere #BigBrotherAwards-Laudatio noch kritisiert und behauptet, die Vorwürfe seien falsch. Jetzt beginnt sie genau damit: der flächendeckenden Einführung von #Microsoft an #Schulen.

Corona Warn App in Kürze bei @fdroidorg verfügbar:
https://www.heise.de/news/Corona-Warn-App-in-Kuerze-bei-F-Droid-verfuegbar-4973701.html
"Der Entwickler Marvin Wißfeld hat die Client-Bibliotheken für die Corona Warn App nachgebaut. Damit funktioniert die App unter Android ohne Google-Services."
"[Marvin hat] in wenigen Wochen im Alleingang das geschafft, was den Großunternehmen SAP und DTAG trotz staatlicher Bezuschussung scheinbar nicht gelungen ist […]"
Eigentlich sollte er von dem Zuschuss seinen Anteil bekommen!!!

oh, at least activity monitor shows the architecture of the running processes. interesting that apple lists the architectures as "Intel" or "Apple".
intel didn't invent the x86_64 ISA (also known as amd64), and apple didn't invent the ARM ISA.
when and how did the term "architecture" come to mean "processor manufacturer"?
