Because it's the most popular & flexible cross platform user space compositor:

- unlike QT it's free for commercial use.

- I don't know any other user land GUI toolkit/compositor that isn't a game engine(unity/unreal/etc).

Why does it need to be cross platform? If code was free there would be a native app for each platform using its respective toolkit, not QT.

Well they wanted it to be cross plat because more users.

clearly the code isn’t free and writing for raw win32 is painful.

Qt is LGPL, so free for commercial use in most situations.

There are rules when using the lgpl version of qt, the kde foundation has an exception I think.

I had that experience on my phone (Nokia n900) all of them went through the messages app.

I miss it.

They do use the metric system at NASA maybe that’s why they haven’t been back to the moon.

Yes but their US contractors don’t all use metric, which is what caused them to miss Mars that one time.

If I recall correctly they didn't miss Mars. Quite the opposite, really.

Mars missed them?

A vanity repo with all the rust code removed from git.

Yeah I think the embedding are describing what can be seen from a picture of the model not what it is or what it is used for. search some things work like "Fan" but others don't so you can search for "plate with 5 holes" but not for specific engine part cover.

I think politicians should be the least privileged people in a society except those in prison. Any protections or exceptions for them alone are unconstitutional.

It's not that it was made this way to annoy you, it was all we had.

The whole world shouldn't "need to be fixed" because you won't spend the time to learn something.

Rust doesn't even have a stable Internal ABI that's why you have to re-compile everything all the time.

doesn’t mean it can’t be improved, but also doesn’t guarantee that the new way isn’t some sort of brand new hell

too late.

At the risk of ruining my solution I moved my lan sub net into the

172.16.0.0/12 block

This is used on virtual private clouds and is not publicly addressable.

since switching to this I have not had any collisions.
