Absolutely love the idea, reminds me of my hp ipaq, but will wait for clones. I wouldnt pay 160 USD for this, more like 60. Guaranteed amazon will be full of clones in a year.
> Pretty lame that they discontinued that job board.
I used to hire people straight off of SO. Sometimes skipping the usual process of they has solid answers to the types of questions we’s ask - went straight for culture fit.
I think instead of blaming ai and other esoteric reasons for SO’a downfall leadership should look into the damage cancelling the job board has done. People helping others at least had the incentive of being given a job. Now there’s no point really.
Someone else posted it around here - as religion recedes people need new deities. Couple that with an increase in popularity of conspiracy theories and you get altman and ai.
In germany the problem is always other countries (preferably eu member states, easier to sanction), germany is perfect. And that’s one of the narratives the media promotes. I believe it used to be called nationalist propaganda. To actually learn what's happening in Germany you need to read news about the country from media in the US, UK, Poland, etc.
Yes but pay has gone down in real terms and people afford less of what’s important - owning a home, raising a family. We do indeed have more of the stuff we dont need, or want.
The question is which method is more prone to issues. Perhaps a QA process of sorts could be builtin to the "app store" to at least be able to boot the app without errors? Also I am not saying flatpaks or apt should go away. Just saying that it would be nice to have a realiable way to download a package and run it, no hassle.
The difference between apple products and non apple products is that you can easily upgrade them. My core i9 laptop (a cpu that easily competes with anything apple can offer, so it should be fine for heavy workloads, albeit at bateryy cost), has 5600 mhz ram speed, 7 gb / s dual nvme support, both of which upgradeable. Most folks i know with non mac laptops can at least upgrade their hard drives and often ram. Disk space and ram not an issue for non apple users. TB disk level is absolutely feasible outside that platform. You can buy 2TB nvmes capable of 5 gb / s for less than 100$ easily.
Currently, and that's an issue I've also encountered, there are apps on appimagehub.com. Which is why I am hoping more effort will be put in populating it. But i don't think it should have a cli package manager, i think it should be gui based, and focused on convenience. I don't think it should replace apt, yum or pacman. Just a new way of managing packages that is focused on convenience. And perhaps a convention that in a distro if you download any apps to ~/Applications then these will be auto updated provided they are sourced from an "app store". Trust can be fixed with a set of built in security certificates as apt does, but in a basic, low maintenance good enough fashion. When I switch to casual user mode, or even for daily work, good enough is ok as long as its super convenient.
Technically speaking appimages are compressed files so maybe someone clever can come up with an idea on how to dedupe them. With mass adoption this issue i think may be solved by someone concerned about disk space. Personally, and probably many casual users, are not as worried about space as they are about convenience. But I think your point is valid, and I think this would make an interesting side project for someone out there. For me, I'd like to see more adoption. The nice to haves will follow.
Neither are snaps. The future, for regular daily use, are appimages. Much like MacOS dmgs, these are a "single" file (from an end user perspective) that you download, double click, and run. That's it. Ideally we'd see more work in this area. I am slowly trying to figure out how to automate builds for GUI apps and I am considering somehow settings up an inexpensive server to pull, package, and submit appimages to appimagehub. A crowdsourced effort would be cool. Imagine a distro where by default if you place apps in ~/Applications you can just execute them. Comes with risks, but having them "signed" by appimage a lot of it would be mitigated. Linux, while excellent as a desktop, and I am referring to the many awesome distros available, is really user friendly. Let's make it even more user friendly.
Yeah but that term is just you know comical. “Giants”. As if meant to inflate one’s ego, cover insecurity, and project power, like those tom and jerry cartoon episodes where they’d call in their giant friends to save the day. It amuses me every time.
A GPD lower than that of Italy? Here's something better: per capita is lower than that of Bulgaria's. Perhaps Putin's plan is to lower the country's population to increase the per capita ratio?
