This was super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

Pita= pain in the ass

I sub to a few mobile Linux feeds and I want but don’t at all think mobile Linux is ready, even for tech devotees. Too battery hungry, not enough ease of use, missing functions, etc. And that’s not including lack of apps.

Sailfish gets closest so far I think. But yes, not ready. Ubuntu touch last time I tried is fine but still a bit out of sorts.

Mesh central works well.

Seriously. Thank god for calyxos which lets you have separate wifi and mobile internet toggles.

Why not use an umbrella

Does it have privacy issues compared to XMPP which doesn’t enforce the privacy extensions? I figure they are about the same there. Asking genuinely as I do not know other than Matrix might leak some metadata.

And quite frankly, I really wish we’d just agree on one or the other. Would love to host an instance and move some people to it but both are just stuck in this quasi-half used/half not state. And even people on here can’t agree what should be “standard.”

People bitch about YAML but for me it’s still the preferred one just because the others suck more.

TOML like said is fine for simple things but as soon as you get a bit more complex it’s messy and unwieldy. And JSON is fine to operate on but for a config? It’s a mess. It’s harder to type and read for something like a config file.

Heck, I’m not even sold on the S-expressions compared to yaml yet. But then, I deal with so much with all of these formats that I simply still prefer YAML for readability and ease of use (compared to the others.)

Thank you. You succinctly summarized what I was going to post. The cost to subsidize cars far outweighs whatever theoretical efficiency gains just from packing cars more densely.

You can use cars more efficiently but by and large they aren’t.

Also, you think people are gonna share a car? Fat chance. People would need to work out shared upkeep, time slots to have it, etc.

We simply need to stop subsidizing cars which is the whole point here.

Yes it’s so outdated that mostly every IDE offers usage with its keybindings.

Yeah, Java slogan was code once, run everywhere for a reason.

Oof, BMP. I remember those days…

This is pretty much the single one I’ve had that is legit.

Maybe a lot of people can’t tell but most NA still just doesn’t compare to the real deal. It’s pretty evident to a lot of us. If you’re fine with that great but seriously, a lot still are way off. Wish I could try these German ones people are talking about but i haven’t seen them in my market.

You’re not. The whole point is encryption so the bridge is a must.

Granite comes in a myriad of styles. I don’t understand the blanket statement. It’s literally just a type of stone.

Honestlly, I’m ambivalent on the navigation bar change. It is quite tall but sometimes helpful.

As for the url bar, thank GOD they put the full URL back. I think this all “better against phishing” is BS and most users aren’t looking anyhow. If you need to at all differentiate it, but the domain in bold and let the rest of the url be in normal font. But for the love of cake don’t have ONLY the domain. I can’t even explain how frustrating that is. Please keep the full URL mozilla.

It doesn’t matter. You either get votes or you don’t. They could’ve picked coalesced around anyone. What difference does it make? Bernie had a good a chance as anyone in 2020. He just didn’t win.

You’re basically just rehashing the same “it isn’t fair” that a bunch of people do. It was completely fair but Bernie’s fanbase was not nearly as big. Or that didn’t show up. My entire point.

Edit- lot of butthurt people that can’t accept reality evidently.
