That may be right, I was referring to list price, which is identical between Apple and Samsung. (I'm located in EU) With Samsung, they're going to heavily discount it over the holiday season. With Apple, the device is actually goi

I'm okay with the lack of face ID. Fingerprint unlock power button works perfectly well for me. Did they mention MagSafe? I'm not sure if they mentioned MagSafe for the iPhone Duo. That could be a deal breaker.

It's priced identical to the Samsung Fold 8. The dimensions are also close. From a visual aesthetics perspective, I prefer the square edges of the Samsung Fold 8. Eager to check out the reviews of the software capabilities of the iPhon

I'd pick major Linux Desktop Environments (KDE or GNOME for instance) over macOS and Windows any day of the week. I feel 3-4x more productive on Linux. With LLMs, I've been creating little desktop apps to fill the odd gaps. For ex

Cool project. I've built my own Django "harness" so I can't use it right now, but will consider for future projects.

Leading be example is not. Look up Vatican land holdings across Europe, Africa and Asia. But then, the opposition to my comment is based on religious ideology and not merit.

The pie (market) has also vastly expanded since 1998. Need to factor that, and not just inflation.

All I did was install GitButler via my OS's package manager, and open a local repo via the GUI. And I saw these malicious (pre-commit) git hooks installed by GitButler, without any confirmation, or prompt seeking my approval. I'm

Installed GitButler to try it out — and realized it installs malicious Git hooks to take over the git commit workflow: * pre-commit — The malicious one. It intercepted every `git commit` attempt and aborted it with that error message, forci

Thanks for the detailed feedback and positive words. I still need to figure out correct packaging on OS's I don't use (Fedora RPM for example). By end of this week, I'll incorporate some of your feedback into the roadmap. Ty.
