I hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It’s a shame, but it’s likely true.

I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.

So you’re saying mining crypto is gonna come back into fashion?

While true, a government IDP would still be able to track what sites you’re using your tokens at, which is not great.

Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.

I’m not sure, but I assume it’s because a GPS app is running on the dash somewhere, and the app keeps the phone unlocked and visible?

I’m not saying it’s right, but there us post processing that has always been done, but on modern flagships they’ve pushed into more and more.

Have you used a phone camera recently? This has been baked in for many years on every out of the box camera experience on flagship phones.

I don’t mean this as a broad category of AI defense, but this doesn’t seem much worse than a bad Photoshop job, which is perfectly reasonable standard for a shitty image macro that conveys a funny point.

The sad truth is that today traditional search engines have been run into the ground by SEO, and some how chatbots backed by LLMs are producing what Google used to call the “I’m feeling Lucky” button. It used to just automatically take you to the first result for your query which was usually what you wanted.

That feels obvious to me, and has for quite some time. The fact the hype machine has been saying the opposite for over two years has kept me second guessing my gut intuition, and yet I kept coming back to this us good and useful in some scenarios, but it will take a lot of big jumps to replace people becsuse coding was never the hard part.

Now I’m even more bummed out it didn’t survive. Still a good thought experiment.

Same. I’m more confused after reading.

That is because signal already stores media for 45 days as part of ensuring delivery to every device in your account.

As a regular user, besides tap to pay what do you use NFC for? I get your point that it works, but what uses are there besides tap to pay for most users?

Hope you’re right, because it basically spells the end of customizing.

What do you get, app/feature wise for verified boot vs. Play integrity app? Does it increase the amount of apps that work on it?

Transit card is linked to your credit card which is linked to your identity. Unless you pay cash and obtain a new cars/pass each time.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

Cries in left-pad.
