I don't know what you mean by local notifications, but if you get a notification when a mail arrives, it's most probably because your mail client uses Google or Apple's push service if you use a regular mobile device, or if y

Is this true even with some deep integration of UnifiedPush with something like microG?

by jraph 2y ago
If this encourages more open source applications to use standards and an open source library for push notification,that's quite cool. Extra bonus if it allows users not to rely on Google server.

Interesting points, thanks. So IIUC, for you, evidence is weak and we don't actually know either way and we haven't explored alternatives to limiting light length enough that could help comprehension and speed. Fair enough. > I

Organic Maps and OSMAnd. They are better than open source desktop map software I could find. Organic Maps has a desktop linux version but it's far from having feature parity. Although it might change with this grant [1] aiming to build

I can see two possible reasons: - in some areas, it is mandatory to allow a refund period (like 14 days) for stuff bought online - it probably convinces more people to subscribe, knowing that a refund is possible

Content width is an odd thing to complain about: - everybody limits it. This is because no matter the size of your screen, the human eyes are somewhat limited to lines of 70-130 characters. Higher than that, and your eyes have hard time fin

I don't do CJK. Of course if something you need doesn't work under Wayland, you will need to use X and you can for as long as it still works, and that's actually about the only good reason I see to pick X. But make sure issue

I'm not specifically happy with Wayland, I don't care much actually. And I don't have any animosity against X neither. X is an iconic project, and inspiring too. I also spent almost 20 years using it. But it is dying. Its des

I was confused by the title because paper rejection is incredibly common in research, but that's the point and one of the goals is to fight imposter syndrome. It's a good initiative. Next step: everybody realizes that researchers
