I wouldn’t mention as positive example. I wouldn’t even mention them as example. Apple cooperates within WebKit well with WebKitGtk. They supported LLVM when it is in their interest. Chrome is used as proprietary web-engine to vendor lock-i

Solution: Cut food supply through humans trash. Don’t allow people to drop food on the ground in city center or elsewhere. And make life for some natural predators comfortable, like crows. When I first saw how two crows shared a pigeon I

Yep. VLC was not important on Linux. Because we have ffmpeg as foundation, used by mplayer and nowadays mpv. The later is my recommendation. Whether on the tty (awesome!) or on Wayland. If you prefer a native Gtk an interface is available,

See the other comment. Because I knew somebody will mention Proton. Because always someone mentions Proton :) PS: I'm rather sure Jolla never emulated Android.

by ho_schi 11mo ago
Does anyone know if Jolla ever published the full source-code? The promised back in 2013.

by ho_schi 11mo ago
Thanks. Jolla stopped porting newer Android APIs to the Jolla One early. Which rendered the Android support quickly useless.

Why games on Windows ship their own C++ Redistributable? Well, the same problem. And for the very same reason macOS app bundles come with a lot libraries and we still see a lot updates after every macOS release. A lot of known issues can be

SailfishOS and the Jolla One were good (awesome usability) But the integration of Android was a horribly failure. It is like WINE, half working applications preventing native ports of quality. I left the boat. After that Jolla failed with t

Capitalism itself is a rather modern idea around 1800. And greed is maybe rooted in human nature, within the need to keep a buffer of food. But we’ve brains and are social entities. I don’t think greed is necessity. But greed of other harm

At the point with investment I was lost. Children should learn to be patient (saving money) and prepare for bad situations (saving money). That’s enough. When older we can teach them what capitalism considers as investment. Capitalism is

That’s true and compatibility is a grace. Software shall not need every month an update. I sign of its quality. Is this case, usage of /var/lock was clumsy for a long time. And not cleaning up APIs creates something horrible like

Same here. I play the game happily. I would prefer to switch back to the good old "This games costs 50 $" which will also harm cheating. Maintain it and release sometimes an upgrade for a fair sum, keep the old one playable. It sh

ThinkPad + Linux = Love I can only recommend to use Linux by wanting Linux. This way you can replace stuff which is holding you back. Just leaving Windows because Microsoft sucks is often failing, you are still within the vendor lock-in of

How many people use a laptop for ten years?

I avoid eating and drinking in front of the computer (hygienic). But a little sticky liquid is enough. A drop of something hard is also enough. I was able to rescue a ThinkPad by popping out a key and clean the mechanism with isopropyl. Ano

Respect. May biggest adventure was a screen upgrade for a X13 (Hint: HiDPI requires a bigger cable). Luckily the mainboard could remain in place. The procedure for keyboard replacement should be similar between an X1 and MacBook. They are s

For regular users with a consumer laptop, a damaged key or keyboard means: Laptop defunct. Use an external keyboard if not affordable. Used my X220 for ten years, handled it with care, but after ten years a new keyboard was a nice uplift. Y

The window-management of macOS is pain. As the application menus. Outside of the application windows! Core applications like Finder are so bad, that even Apple-Fans admit it (not lack of features, it is the crippled UI). And they keep usi

The internet is a weak infrastructure, relying on a few big cables and data centers. And through AWS and Cloudflare it has become worse? Was it ever true, that the internet is resilient? I doubt. Resilient systems work autonomously and can

That would be awesome. Or Catia ? Valves native Linux ports changed the situation at home. But when these get native ports Microsoft loses ground in the industry. Not in the companies which buy everything a “Microsoft Sales Droid” offers.

Gimp. Inkscape. Wireshark. Just to name Gtk and Qt examples of relevant applications.

by ho_schi 1y ago
I listed native apps for all of these platforms. That’s the solution. A less efficient alternative would be using one of these toolkits on the others platforms. Lets say Gtk? Common well known Gtk apps like Gimp or Inkscape excel well on al
