That kind of sucks, but it should only be for a dev release

I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Cheers. It took 5 full days for the comments to federate to my instance after this post, so this post was a ghost town on my end until today.

Blinx: The time sweeper

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.

Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and “undertaking” isn’t a thing, it’s completely legal to overtake in any lane.

Now do the crappy mobile games

The removals also follow former Netflix gaming boss Mike Verdu — who just announced that he’s a VP of “GenAI for Games” at Netflix — telling Game File’s Stephen Totilo that the company wasn’t building interactive titles anymore.

VP of “GenAI for Games”

Oh. Oh no.

This gonna need a citation

…what??

There is a workaround for this, which is to use a service like JMP.chat to redirect SMS to XMPP, at which point you only need to ensure internet which is a bit of a lower requirement than specific networks (but of course may still become more limiting over time)

It’s too early to be certain, but I’ve got high hopes for the future of the SHIFT 6mq.

I believe it has mainline linux support, or it is being worked on, which will be important for ongoing OS upgrades. Otherwise they have a similar philosophy to Fairphone with an important difference; SHIFT wants you to be able to upgrade their phones, not just repair them. I don’t think this has been realistically tested yet, but the successor SHIFTPHONE 8 is coming out imminently, and I think we should start to see pretty soon if any of the new modules can be installed on the older model.

I’ve actually got the SHIFTPHONE 8 coming myself, because I got spooked by places turning off 3G already and wanted to “future proof” with 5G, but otherwise would have preferred the 6mq.

The one caveat is that SHIFT is a very small company, which could mean risk for long term support.

He’s not naked, he’s wearing glasses

I reckon that requires a legislative solution, not just a technological one.

What do the exclamation points mean?

(Possibly hollow)

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

No. “New moon” is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.
