Huh, you're right, it doesn't anymore. It used to though. I suppose it makes sense now that the web has gone from primarily being a document platform that's sometimes used to create simple applications to primarily being an a

From a user's perspective, the review is absolutely necessary and really needs to be much better on Android. Proactive vetoing of malware from distribution is much better than reactive malware scanning against a signature library. That

Compared to Gnome 3/40 or Windows 8 or even Windows 10, Windows Vista was positively sensible. Its problem was hardware requirements that were hard to meet at the time. By 4.10 or so KDE 4 had matured to KDE 3 level and this hasn'

A low acceptance rate just means either there were more applications than usual or fewer places than usual. A record high number of applications is, of course, an achievement in terms of encouraging those applications. > There are some d

It works fine, you just ship the static libraries. With static linking your binaries won't have dependencies anyway. That's not to say the static linking craze is a good thing. We'd be far better off finding a way to dynamica

As someone who uses the AUR a lot, it's really the perfect example of how you just won't update software if it isn't done automatically by the distro package manager, particularly when you use -git packages.
