Enshittification continues as usual.

I just used to call him by his IRC handle.

Oh crap, I know him. We were friends online 15-20 years ago. Glad it sounds like he's going to be ok. This is surreal.

I'm still waiting for Linux on desktop to be a big thing like I thought back in 2004. I suspect the third party app stores will be just as quick.

I do love Kotlin, but I work extensively with audio playback on a low level (Oboe, native) so a web app just won't work for me.

Also, I can't really justify rewriting my company's entire app because I don't like Google's monopoly.

Here's the ones I looked for:

• Chase
• Bank of America
• NatWest (UK bank)
• HSBC

Not one of them was available on F-Droid. Care to share the ones that you know of?

I'd probably agree if I didn't work as an Android developer. :-)

Yeah, I have it, but I can't install 3/4 of the apps I use on a daily basis from there.

Can I get my banking app on F-Droid? How about my home security system app? How about a dozen other apps that I want or need, and can't be replaced by loading a website in Firefox?

We really need a compelling alternative to the Play Store, both as users and developers.

I've known them as Myoclonic Jerks

So any tool used to determine who to fire is a bad tool? Like email, video conferencig software, calculators, spreadsheets...

I lived in the UK and now live in the US, and I have more time off now than ever before. I work in tech in the Bay Area, so I know I'm living in a bit of a dream world, but it's not all doom and gloom to move from Europe to America.

Yeah, I lived there for three decades. I got a bunch of time off, but if I said I wanted every August off I'd be in for a bit of a shock.

Did the UK detach itself from the earth's surface and move to another continent while I've been gone?

The UK left the EU, they're still in Europe.

Edit: the cheek of starting such an idiotic comment with "news flash" is astounding.

I lived in the UK.

I lived in Europe for the first 30 years of my life, and the only time I got all of August off was when I was in school.

I read Foundation quite a while back, so I just enjoyed the TV show. There weren't that many bits that sounded familiar, but I wasn't sure if I'd just forgotten parts of it.

Instead of HamVerBot we've finally got VAG.

I think I've heard that as a Hitler joke. Say what you want about Hitler, at least he killed Hitler.
