Samsung didn't implement convergence, they implemented Android-with-a-keyboard-on-a-big-screen . True convergence would be something like Ubuntu Touch wanted to do

But what is this price we pay for FB and Google services ? 3% increase on 0€ is still 0€. We don't pay for Google with money but with our privacy. I'm perfectly fine with making my privacy more expensive to buy for Google.

As a European I think this is a smart move on the contrary. Google cannot get rid of the EU market, if it does, EU competitors might have a chance. So the EU can just tax Google as much as it wants. What are we to be afraid of ? Google leav

VSCode is not Open Source and is spyware too : https://code.visualstudio.com/License/ . It's only open source if you build it yourself from Github

I just hope it will be easy to write bindings for different language in the future. I guess it's important for a wider adoption not to impose something "low-level" like Rust (for eg QT has QML/JS, GTK has bindings to Val

I really wish all the best for this project. To me here are the main points why this framework is really promising : - Backed by webrender : Mozilla is putting large effort in webrender and Azul leverage all this work by using it as a backe

I agree, I think Typescript is a very good pick for UI developpement, it's easy to use yet you still have types that help with maintainability. I would definitely be using something like this to develop apps :). However there are peopl

This is a nice experiment ! There are a few people starting to hack around with WebRender. There are already Limn, Azul, Stylish, etc...it would be nice if we joined forces in developing one good UI framework powered by WebRender.

Yea and this is purely driven by Apple needs. For e.g on Apple the UI is desturated so dark mode just means go darker. But for e.g on Linux with Arc theme, dark theme has a blueish tint, so the website using dark theme will look bad on Arc

I have a PH1, I got it new for 400$. It is by far the most premium experience you can have out of all Android phones for that price. 128GB, excellent screen resolution & contrasts, good perf, very nice looking, clean Android, etc... The

Security-wise it will depend on the distro. Under Gnome /KDE it will be flatpak responsible for sandboxing. So it doesn't depend (too much) on Purism. On the hardware side they put way more effort (at the price of perf maybe ?) th

React is not fast, clearly the simple idea of having a virtual Dom is very costly compared to do things by hand. However for a large scale app react makes it more easy to reason about and keep it maintainable, components are far easier to i

I agree very much. However there are two points that make it difficult : - Virtual Dom. It simplifies a lot the creation of components. And components that are made for a VDOM are very different from those made without VDOM in mind. - Data

There was already a post on this. Basically the argument about home is true but this is because 1) apps should not use filesystem access but rather portals (if they can) 2) nothing should be executable in the home folder (nobashrc, no scr

with RSS it was decentralized, you could "follow" bloggers and website directly. Now news are own by big companies like FB or Twitter and it's kind of sad. If you want to follow someone you have to comply to FB or Twitter

Ideally , Firefox would be downloaded from official Mozilla Flatpak repo, Blender from Blender Flatpak repo on Blender server, etc... And we would have this list of those repo on our distro. However because the official adoption is slow (ve

No. Flathub has nothing to do with flatpak technology itself. Flathub is just one server hosting some flatpack repos. It's like saying .deb is Ubuntu Store. Well no, it is just one PPA among many other you could add to get your apps

What ? No it's exactly the opposite ! I think you're confusing with AppImage maybe which is indeed download from the browser & run. The (long) goal of flatpak is that the user would never download and execute from the browser,

The sandbox is in a sense working, the problem is that the folder the app accesses is more critical than what the user thought. We should make sure nothing in home will get executed : no bashrc, no scripts, no executable. In the "ideal
