As I read down the readme, I kept saying to myself "ok, that's reasonable," right up until I saw the 300GB free space requirement to build the image. Is that really what is needed to build an image for a phone or is this a on

The video game Uru shipped with the sounds as ogg files. Post installation they were decompressed to wav files, I'm guessing so that they can squeeze some more performance out of the game

I want to piggy-back off this: if there must be an electron application, then at least make it available on different platforms

I had initially learned about bubble memory from the Logopolis serial of Doctor Who. I actually went and looked it up after watching it because the concept sounded neat https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Logopolis_(TV_story

Being able to put epubs bought elsewhere and reading them without needing to convert the files is a huge plus

Sorry, no. Code doesn't magically go from the intern's workstation to live. If the chain of incompetence is that long, then the most generous read is that they don't care

I'm sorry, but what does "pre-installation deals with smartphone makers" have to do with being open?

Also, very rich given their very active attempts at nailing the door shut on every version of Android except for Android + Google

Honestly, this link is better than the link in the OP. At least there's substance in it. I'd like for someone who's fluent in English in Italian to take a crack at comparing the two versions though. There may be more clues th
