genuine question - why was this code pushed now? I don't know who this idiot dev is but I'm struggling to imagine how this is issue is anywhere near the top 10 things they should be working on.

So then, who is setting the roadmap for systemd and the issues that are prioritised? There's no way this just came from the community - it smells very much like MS or even Valve have been advocating for it.

weird take

wow really? you must look so intimidating in your leotard. Bet that driver is petrified until the signal changes then their truck, about 2ton heavier than you, can push you off the road with almost zero effort. Cool!

I'm a cyclist and morons like you are why drivers hate cyclists.

+1, and lots of 'mainstream' apps also have fdroid versions which I always go to first, including:

• nextcloud
• aegis (MFA)
• Dsub2000 (play media from my NAS on android auto)
• jellyfin
• k-9 mail
• kore (kodi remote)
• OLauncher
• tailscale

It seems China is trying to make us forget about how well-known their quality control is by just flooding the markets with cheap shit. Here in NZ 'BYD' is very popular and affordable. Time will tell, I suppose. But I was in the market for an EV not long ago and a key requirement was "is not made in China" (which also counted against the Honda enY:1 although Honda still have a reputation here as being reliable).

I recently test drove their EV and the salesguy was practically begging me to buy it (more than normal I mean) - the finance package was insane, it came with free installed home charger, and a load of other stuff. It actually made me suspicious, but the reviews on that model are not complimentary, it feels like they just got it wrong with that one.

Thanks for your uninformed reckons but World Car of the Year award" - for the last four years - has gone to Korean makers.

I don't have a big issue with consumption based pricing in principle. But I *do* have a problem with the needlessly ambiguous units of measurement which feel purposely enshittified to confuse customers.

if I'm looking at switching products/services I really need to understand cost. I don't want to spend 2 hours figuring out what a DPU or a credit or a token actually is. For reference snowflake's pricing/utilisation info is here. It's 19 pages long.

you know - there are tons of great books to read and things to do outside, you don't have to just sit in your basement listening to Jordan Peterson.

all you really need is quick access to favorite apps and ability to search. there are so many already available that do this, why would you build another one?

good example right now on f-droid is OLauncher. Minimalist AF home screen, swipe up to search, auto-open apps on unique search string. All you need.

Kia EV3 was crowned World Car of the Year, beating out the BMW X3 and Hyundai Inster. This marks Kia’s second consecutive victory following the EV9’s win in 2024.

... and then pleads not guilty.....

yeah - the numbers don't stack up so now we'll just make the alternatives MORE expensive... capitalism is a beautiful thing

advocating for open standards and interoperability in the AI ecosystem is nowhere near the same thing as baking it into the OS and forcing it down everyone's throat.

lol what the hell are you smoking dude
