I’m bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.

I use the calculator in Ubuntu tor very simple purposes. It was crashing on me every time I opened it.
I tracked down why.
It was trying to get a foreign currency exchange rate file - which I was horrified that you’d think about even having in a calculator.
The reason that was failing? Because I had a VPN enabled.
And it wouldn’t even fail gracefully. Nope it would poof, crash and disappear.
The fix is to disable vpn, and disable foreign currency in the preferences.
I was so pissed off. And on the next upgrade the same thing happened, which I’d forgotten all about, so went through it AGAIN!
This was in fact what prompted my search - the Gnome calculator is so horribly bloated, and yeah, it should have no business making network connections, at least not by default - this should be an opt-in behaviour.
