Unless you're using streaming services like Netflix, in which case you're stuck with 720p because of widevine.

The comparison to 1999 is not entirely accurate. It doesn't take into account that most physical banking locations closed down. At least here in Belgium for example, you have to go far to find one, and it's often on appointment only.

Do people have to install Gmail on iOS?

Why would Gmail be pre-installed on iOS?

It's not about being secure. Google allows devices with up to 10 years without any patches to pass their integrity API. Meanwhile Graphene OS, which is very secure and up-to-date, doesn't pass.

It offers value to parasites who buy domains and resell them?

Because upstream LineageOS doesn't support microg out of the box. You can install it but it needs signature spoofing to pass Google's SafetyNet garbage. Bonus point for some roms that allow you to relock the bootloader after the install (iodéOS, CalyxOS).

I'm biased but when I see Discord as the only way of communication, it doesn't make for a serious project. I wish more projects would rely on IRC/Matrix + forums.

Fractional scaling is very common with high dpi screens. I don't I'd be able to have a 175% scaling on my 14" 3k screen with X11.

I would venture to say that there is little overlap between X11 users and people with high-DPI screens.

I don't have a static IPv4 address and I have to use a DDNS built into the Caddy plugin on my OPNSense router. From what I understand, you can't get a static "local" (I know, IPv6 has no direct equivalent) address to use for a reverse proxy — at least not in an easy manner. I might be completely wrong but that's why I don't bother with IPv6.

My ISP refuses to give you a static IPv6 prefix unless you're a business customer, despite having an "unlimited" amount of them. This results in me not bothering to set it up properly and focusing on IPv4 still.

What exactly do you mean by upgrade story? The Libre Office UI hasn't changed for a long time (although there are new UI options l'île the ribbon, etc), I'd think the switch would be pretty straightforward.

It's crazy how, after all this time, OpenOffice is still mentioned so often despite being kind of dead for a while.

It would have helped if you told us what you think is broken in Iced.

It doesn't boot into the desktop by default — it uses its own session with the Gamescope compositor. The desktop is easily accessible through the power menu though.

Does it work well with the Google tv remote for example? Last time I used NewPipe on the tv, the ui was completely unsuited for remotes. I can't imagine using streaming services on the browser to be any better.

As someone who lives in the terminal, I can't say I've ever had the need to do that. It's only by reading the comments that I've realised that there's no search in Ghostty.

Who in this thread is saying it's all good?

Good to know! Sorry, didn't mean to be overly negative with my comment. Maybe our obsession with never-ending projects that need to be constantly updated is wrong.

And that makes them "idiots"? Is it really necessary to resort to insults because they don't immediately support your edge case?

Are any of them maintained? I see that the last commit for Joy was 2 years ago.

One core member (@z3entu) of postmarketOS works at Fairphone.

Does SimpleX even sync messages between the phone and the desktop? Last time I checked they didn't unless you were maybe on the same network

It ends up with 6 deployables that are coupled together (let's say micro-services). There are surely better ways to structure the project but our CI/CD pipeline doesn't allow us to do so and it is not handled by our team anyway. I haven't seen any good way to make my life easier for merges, tech reviews, deployments, etc…

I have already briefly looked at git-subtree. From what I can gather, it doesn't help much with my use-case. You still need to manually pull from each subtree and push branches individually to each project. The end result is still 4-5 merge requests to handle on Gitlab for a single new feature.

I might have missed something.

At my current $dayjob, there is a backend that is split into ~11 git repos which results in a single feature being split among 4-5 merge requests and it's very annoying. We're about to begin evaluating monorepos to group them all (among other projects). What would the alternative to a monorepo be in this case, knowing that we can't bundle the repos together?

I mean... Yeah, why not? That's one of the reasons FOSS is nice: people who are willing to maintain/contribute don't have to put up with a project going rogue.

It is a lot outside of the US. Even with an ok developer salary in Belgium, I'd have to really have a use for something to pay $20/mo.

Looks very nice. One thing that always prevents me from using anything other than a full-blown IDE for Java is the fact that most entreprise projects use Maven and structure packages with the default Java way by using the FQDN structure (e.g.: org/example/groupid/packageid/submodule/File.java).

Maybe I'm missing something but navigating and finding/adding files in a structure that's 10-20 directories deep or more seems like a nightmare in pure Vim.

When importing a library from Github, you also have to see if it's abandoned or not. Crates actually shows you the last updated date right there.
