They're working on a browser, so yes... I believe PWA will be possible since they're just rebranded HTML+JS apps.

I've preordered and have no doubts in my mind that it'll be pushed back to Q4 or Q1/Q2 2020. I'm not really concerned about it releasing I think if they don't release it will be detrimental to the Purism image. Also

Yeah worst case scenario Gnome will be better off with some adaptive UI work.

It looks like the UI is coming together nicely. My only question is what battery life will look like on these phones. I'm guessing terrible for the first gen.

> On that latter one, I really don't see how they'll fix the problem. I don't understand what the problem is exactly. There already exist phones that have the latest apps. I don't think Librem is trying to be a market

I believe they're working with the Gnome team on this, as well as support for Plasma Mobile.[0] [0] https://puri.sm/posts/gnome-and-kde-in-pureos-diversity-acro...

Damn they're growing fast. Last September I tried to setup it up but there was no service because the trees in Tompkins Square Park. Will have to give another looksie.

Come again? The “Windows”-button is just a super/command key that exists on many other keyboards and OSes outside of Windows.

Or just buy a second mouse.

I see it as a combination of that and no incentive to review the code you require. We live in a “I need it to just work because everyone wants the dream of tech seemlessly working” age. This will probably become more and more common as the

Ah good to know. I assumed they were lined with lead and/or tinfoil

by alexkavon 7y ago
Someone could wrap a phone in tinfoil pretty quickly or have one ready-made in the shape of a pouch. Or start carrying a special pouch that stops signals.[0] Either way once you remove the phone from sight, the suspicion is probably over. T

Specifically why I left morality out of it. If one brings morals into it, you end up using phrases like “it’s not personal, it’s business” to justify morals or disregard responsibility from actions. I don’t think there is anything wrong wit

by alexkavon 7y ago
> Not personal, just business. Ah yes, the oldest way to get out of responsibility for actions. "It's not personal, I just personally want my business to succeed even if it comes at a cost to you."

That’s an interesting question in itself. Since different processes kick off in the brain in handwriting vs typing on a keyboard. Does this effect quality and therefor economics?

Until a rearchitecture is needed. Then you’ll either need all your developers in ops or vice versa. (Assuming your response implies iRobot uses serverless)

by alexkavon 7y ago
IMO, deciding to go “serverless” or not usually ends up with about the same amount of work as far as writing code and configuration goes. Things like “serverless” or firebase data stores or even html hybrid app frameworks, for example, are
