One aspect is that the server side is not free software. So only Canonical can reasonably host a repo of snaps. That was enough for me not to look into the technical merits of the clientside implementation. The few experiences I had with sn

That varies a lot. In non-productive weeks I hardly look at the code I should work on, there are customer problems to investigate, documentation to produce, meetings to attend, chat messages to answer. On a productive day at the home office

Since Mozilla has started to provide an official Debian-style repository there is no reason to use snap on Ubuntu any more. Well, except if some users don't know or don't care to switch.

I would also have commented: Not supported in Finland. I think I have read articles that they tried to get marketing share, but AFAIK they have failed completely. On the positive side in Finland you can use SIM Toolkit for legally sanctione

Halium is based on libhybris, to my understanding that was developed when Nokia stopped making Linux phones and some of their developers started making their own under the name Jolla/SaifishOS in 2011. While Nokia could maintain their

Right, used 2 of them as my primary phone between 2015 and 2024 when the hardware broke not many weeks ago. Just recently ordered their new one, which is a bit cheaper than this Furi. Admittedly a risk purchase because not much is known abo

JMP seems to give you a number for incoming. I have no need for that, I would need outgoing into the European phone network. Edit: Calling to German landlines is $0.015 / min. That's a competitive price as such. But the monthly fe

That's because AM has a bearer around 800 kHz, while FM a bearer around 100 MHz. I guess if doing AM at 100 MHz it wouldn't be a problem granting wider channels, too. But the problem that amplitude is more sensitive to noise would

I am not actively following this field, but I had somehow gotten the impression XMPP is a dying protocol. Any opinions on that? I have also looked for VoIP providers offering competitive per minute rates to European phone numbers with no mo

Zero technical information there. https://lwn.net/Articles/993608/ has a pointer to the commit fixing the bug in the comments, but no explanations about the vulnerability either. Edit: https://news.ycom

This is how sustainable software development should work. Not a 100 MB iPhone app or a 60 MB Android app. Or 600 MB as in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41459629

That cannot be achieved in general. Later commits often depend on some earlier one.

You request others/the maintainer to pull. That was the only way before the forges. I guess gitlab's merge request is more descriptive.

That's exactly the problem for a newcomer. Graphics is a wide and complicated field and the newcomer does not even know what ask. I've had the same problem for 10 years or so. But there have always been full-time jobs completely u

Why are people talking about stacked PRs/MRs? Shouldn't they be called queued? A stack is LIFO and a queue is FIFO. (Of course in some special case you might want to merge a later one earlier, but I don't think that's th

Yes, atomic commits is not a very descriptive term. But main/master is stable is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. If you squash (or mix from the beginning) several unrelated changes into a single commit, main/mast

I don't know about the 5 minutes, but the CTO replied when I complained in some comment and asked me for a trace. That was extraordinary user service (I am not even a customer), but the problem has not really been solved some 3 months

Thanks! I had thought about mentioning my phone is not rooted, but then I skipped it because that should be the default...

IIRC my phone uses a MediaTek chipset. And I vaguely remember the vendor has moved away from MediaTek since because of the ahem quality of those products... No idea how WiFi is done on a phone though. Is there a way to find out whether the

Good question. And what's the benfit? A common misconception is that RT is fast. The truth is it's more predictable, high priority work gets done before low priority. But who has set the correct priorities for a desktop system? I

Reqwireless I have certainly heard. Don't remember in which context. If you tell me they had this "browser frontend" midlet, it's probably the one I used. 2002ish I would guess.

Right those existed, too. I think bottom up it's Java, J2ME, CLDC, MIDP. So the programmer really works with MIDP. I vaguely remember PP (Personal Profile IIRC). That was probably CDC/PP. Nokia either put it into one of the commun

No, it was another company, I don't think a well-known name. Opera Mini still works today on S60 phones from 2006ish. I regularly see web server log entries from a relative on my private server. But I believe it's a native Symbian

J2ME is an unprecise term. I'd guess they mean J2ME/MIDP. The other profiles did even fly less probably. I remember from the early 2000s you could get railway time tables from the German railways for your selected pair of stations

You forgot to mention what country you are talking about. That seems to be American. Difficulties to get an appointment is also common in at least some areas of the EU countries I am familiar with.

The EU has no common health system at all. Calculating any kind of averages makes little sense. Within some countries I am personally familiar with there are significant differences in availability of health services between certain areas,
