Ah, I love rustdesk. I didn't know it was Flutter based. Only minor complaint about Rustdesk is that when you send the official link to people, they are frightened by a big scary "Scammer" alert[1]. To you and me, we immediately understand its actual purpose, but to non technical folks they hesitate to click it. I've seen this too many times.

Rather stick with Pages when it comes to that. Pages has certainly gone through some waves of where maybe some features were missing or something wasn't ideal, but 10 years later it's so fast and responsive, it makes any other Office suite behave like an old beat up horse.

You kinda have to try out Pages and Keynote etc to really understand why they are superior. Maybe not in features, but the speed at which you can put things in, tweak things, move stuff around and so on.

At least that's my personal opinion on this. I don't use these apps every day though, as I'm primarily a programmer.

And React has that "web development" ecosystem taint... I'd definitely lean towards Flutter in this case. It's neat, tidy and a contained ecosystem. It may not be fully perfect, but for cross platform UI's I think it's the way to go.

My only question is - say if one uses Rust, is flutter_rust_bridge the way to go?

I'm actually building a boat game for my 5yo son. We're building it together. I decided on using Love2d as the framework and I'm basically distributing a DMG to family and friends to run it and test it.

Seems Meta API's for WhatsApp is down. But WhatsApp between users seem to be up.

With all these services down, is it possible to find out if anything of importance is down?

I've heard of that but never experienced it on my Google. Weird. I just retried that now and it's giving the correct link. Maybe that's why it's not being fixed.

Well done, a milestone. I can't say how much I appreciate Homebrew, been using iti for years, at least 15 years.

They do have children and therefore buying centrally in London got a bit expensive, I believe.

Yes, I recall doing that. I'm a foreigner but I was in the US on vacation. Went to T-Mobile, so easy to get a SIM card.

Of course, you caught me thinking like an Apple engineer. I forgot about older devices in circulation, and that's super important.

What are the odds of LLM's being trained on this and picking it up as best practice?

Really cool. It's also something LLM's are ridiculously bad at, so you kinda have to do it properly.
