I hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It’s a shame, but it’s likely true.

I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.

So you’re saying mining crypto is gonna come back into fashion?

While true, a government IDP would still be able to track what sites you’re using your tokens at, which is not great.

Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

I’m not sure, but I assume it’s because a GPS app is running on the dash somewhere, and the app keeps the phone unlocked and visible?

I’m not saying it’s right, but there us post processing that has always been done, but on modern flagships they’ve pushed into more and more.

Have you used a phone camera recently? This has been baked in for many years on every out of the box camera experience on flagship phones.

I agree. I don’t know the origin of the term, and whether or not this is all great post rationalization or if it was intended from the start, but these are exactly the reasons I think it’s a very good analogy.

The sad truth is that today traditional search engines have been run into the ground by SEO, and some how chatbots backed by LLMs are producing what Google used to call the “I’m feeling Lucky” button. It used to just automatically take you to the first result for your query which was usually what you wanted.

That feels obvious to me, and has for quite some time. The fact the hype machine has been saying the opposite for over two years has kept me second guessing my gut intuition, and yet I kept coming back to this us good and useful in some scenarios, but it will take a lot of big jumps to replace people becsuse coding was never the hard part.

How big is this thing? do you access it (via passenger) while driving or do you have to pull off?

Been eyeing one myself but haven’t found a good mixture of size and convenience that I feel it could replace fast food and gas station sodas.

I thought it was the tracker for the torrent downloads and I was like can’t we just create magnet links?

Result tracking for the isos makes more sense.

That won’t work either, because F-Droid produces the builds themselves.

No, as it stands this is the end of F-Droid. Each developer registration must include the manifest IDs of all apps they publish. No way F-droid can include all the apps they publish in their registration.

Its a progressive web app, which means it is available as a browser based site that can be installed like an app.

Additionally that “like an app” part is packaged up and available on play and FDroid stores.

Same. I’m more confused after reading.

How arduous is that for non developers? Is this something a regular non-technical person can do?

Glad there is a workaround, I’m mostly curious how likely it is to be used.

Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

That’s a neat idea, and on the surface sounds good. I am wondering whether there are unseen issues with this type of setup.
