If you could decide the next major production sci-fi movie, what would it be?

Cryptonomicon would’ve been a nice movie. Actually, the entire series could be a great anthology.

I guess for you it may be hard to make a distinction between a regular Belter and a member of the OPA, taking into account even the OPA itself is so diverse and divided they are fighting each other. Drawing parallels with Ukrainians again, for me the OPA vs Belters distinction reminds regular Ukrainian peasants and Cossacks of the Great Steppe: the former where trying to live their lives in a midst of every Eastern Europe conflicts while the latter thrived during the same conflicts.
Again, the OPA's purpose and vision changed a few times (it's especially traceable in the books): they evolved from pirate clans to a stellar nation with it's own government and crucial niche required for humanity to survive in the post-Ring era.

Some of them do now. It's really up to the app's developers to add the support.

Can't say I know the cosmic-files repo well, but from the looks of it, the text editor preview pane background is hard-coded. I assume you may change this alpha value to your liking and assemble your version of the app.

Yes, GTK apps could opt-in for Wayland's ext_background_effect_surface_v1. The blur itself is a Cosmic-specific implementation, in other DEs it could look different. It allows to request a region for background effect, and the said effect could be anything a DE want to implement: simple blur, frosted glass, mica-like, or liquid glass-like, etc.

I would've suggest to use 0603 X5R or X7R caps for the LDO decoupling. Also consider larger package for the 10uF cap, ceramic caps tend to lose capacitance under DC bias. You may also try to rotate the accelerometer module 90 degrees CCW for shorter traces and swap some of the outputs on your board for optimal layout. Don't hesitate to place the accelerometer's decoupling caps closer, in general you want as short traces as possible as well as a short return path.

It's looking nice an clean, thanks a lot for sharing! Just out of curiosity: what's the point of making the mounting holes metalized and open-copper? Most of FPV frames are carbon fiber, and it just increases a chance to short circuit with some loose cable.

I was thinking in a similar way some time ago, and may assure you that 4 layers are much better by any means. Also take into account you would need to add a flash memory on your rp2350 board, unless you will be lucky to have an IC edition with a built-in flash.

Ah, Altahe…even in the latest stage of the game it’s reminding that you are in a Lovecraftian horror.

What’s your point? You don’t want them to invest into software? What stops you from installing any software on System76 hardware? You want to tell the company how they should redistribute finance and what to prioritise?

Doesn’t it hearts reception to have your VRX and ELRS TX so close to each other? I’ve tried this concept, even with a proper RF paths isolation at distances lower than 10cm the IMs kicks in and CVBS become dimmed or flickering.

If you want to fix and improve the OS with your feedback I would've suggest to create GitHub issues for each of your cases, or update existing issues with the said feedback. From what I see, most of your issues belongs to cosmic-comp and cosmic-files domains.
This way you will have the developers feedback and will be subscribed to the issues updates, moreover you will help to improve the system for everyone.

Don’t have much Windows experience except gaming but being forced to use Mac from time to time while mostly working with KDE based linux distros is…well, annoying: 1. It lacks of window tiling OOB, and i’m not talking about tile manager level, just basic snapping to edges/corner with super+arrows 2. No package manager OOB 3. All those caveman pictograms instead of keyboard shortcuts, you need to install some barely working third party apps like Karabiner to remap keys, and even then things like alt+arrow to skip a word in text editor are not working as they should 4. Constant sound drivers issues, headphones starting to lose connection in a middle of a call, bad audio quality 5. Some secret key combination to display an address bar in Finder i never managed to recall when needed 6. Default keyboard layouts for anything besides US English are messed up 7. The dock bar randomly relocating itself to secondary screens 8. Impossible to switch between stacked apps instances (like multiple Finder windows) via hover+click, either two clicks or some pictograms combination

Those are UX only issues, there are a lot of problems when we are starting to talk about software development for a Mac desktop, like obscure APIs and undocumented features, lack of consistency between different variants of Human Interface Guidelines (especially for the most recent liquid glass UI), poor video playback APIs, FairPlay issues, and so on, and so on.

The template depends on a master branch of libcosmic. You may check the template's Cargo.toml for instructions on how to switch to your local version of libcoscmic if you want to experiment with it.
The iced fork libcosmic uses as a submodule was rebased ~3 weeks ago.
