That's not the solution - developers or businesses are squeezed into signing up anyway to survive/make a profit. The only viable alternative is to create an alternative - Linux phones.

We'd have to make Linux on mobile a viable option.

Mojo is a language with Pythonic syntax that compiles to fast machine code built by the creator of Swift: https://www.modular.com/open-source/mojo

Sounds good to me! If you ever need some architectural help I'd be happy to.

I have a lot of experience with Qt and QML, I've created a block editor[1] and an LLM chat client[2] and many other projects.

Doesn't OpenCode supports local models?

I wonder if the Snapdragon X Elite already caught up with the Apple's M series in that regard - does anybody know?

I'm glad Chris Lattner moved on and founded Mojo. It's such a cool language with ton of potential.

Can someone list what are some cool/novel BeOS features that other OSes didn’t have at the time and maybe still don’t have?

This is wrong. There's a misconception that you can't statically link your app when using the open-source LGPL version of Qt. From my reading of the LGPL license this doesn't appear to be the case[1]. The LGPL allows you to statically link your app as long as you provide the object files and allow users to relink your app with a different version of Qt.

I've observed many people spreading this misinformation about only being able to dynamically link with the LGPL version of Qt. Please stop this.

I guess they rely on many people not toggling privacy-mode on?

Do you know what Qwen model Composer 1.5 used?

As a Qt C++ and QML developer myself[1], Opus 4.6 thinking is much better than any other model I've tested (Codex 5.3/GPT 5.4/Gemini 3.1 Pro).

Give Qt with QML a try! I wrote a blog post about it[1].

I guess since Electron apps are 500MB+, 14MB is considered "tiny".

We need Linux OSes and phones to catch up to really break free from this duopoly. Only when there is enough traction, essential infrastructure like banks will start supporting Oses like that. It's a chicken and egg kind of problem.

I just did a quick Google search only on GitHub, maybe there are better ones out there on the internet?

In modern Qt you don't write UI in C++ anymore - you do that in QML. It is far simpler to create amazing pixel perfect UIs with drooling-inducing animations in QML. I wrote a blog post that talks a bit about this[1].

This is not because of Qt - it is due to some (most) Qt developers not caring enough. I created my Qt app feel native both on macOS and Windows[1]. It did require a lot of tuning - but those are things I'll reuse across other apps.
