Web browsers can work from day one. I used my web browser for all my mobile banking for months when a bug rendered the app unusable.

Tap payments might not work until banks make apps for it (or more likely until android compatibility layers are provided) but you’d have to be pretty petulant to suggest that this feature not having first class support from day one makes a device unusable.

Google is going the way of apple-like full control over their mobile devices while even lower end modern day phones are easily capable of surpassing the computational needs of 99 percent of daily users. The use case for mobile linux devices is growing all the while cost per unit sold decreases.

No the vast majority of people really don’t need this. The feature can be nice to have. If you don’t have it you’ll go around tapping your credit card like normal. That’s how I see most people around me make payments.

You could make the argument that not having these bells and whistles can make your platform seem less attractive and to an extent that might be true but I think you’re missing the point.

No one said Linux phones should launch and be immediately competitive with android/apple flagship products day one.

People who care enough about FOSS and privacy have ample reason to accept the trade off of not having some of these niche features.

Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I’d be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn’t need this to launch at least imo.

Anything I can do through my banking app I could just as email do through the browser

How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

It’s really not that much

Yea I mean it’s possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you’ll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.

Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I’m all for it though.

Also not quite sure what you mean by “footprint”

Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?

Most of my work in DevOps isn’t in front of my text editor writing scripts. It’s spent hopping between dashboards, drafting emails, doing RCA, teaching dev team members how to use pipelines, and getting requirements from them for designing new pipelines. Then inevitably debating with them about design considerations when they ask for a set of procedures that won’t pan out.

Until your AI is a fully fledged team member who everyone can feel comfortable engaging with as if they were a real human, you cannot possibly begin to automate this.

Nah, this is every parent ever.

I don’t have any book recommendations but I can’t help but feel like the entire approach you’re trying to take might be too over generalized and you’re better off trying to approach each problematic social encounter one by one.

If for example you have family who’s down on their luck and trying to move into your living space despite you not wanting that, you need to consider what their other options are for living alone and if that would result in a quality of life you would be able to accept yourself, and weigh that against your own expectations for how the living situation would pan out in your mind.

Stuff like that family member’s previous behaviour, ability to show gratitude and value you equivalently, the degree to which they are responsible for their current living circumstances, etc, are all important to consider. This is nothing generalized advice about “boundaries” could possibly help with imo.

If on the other hand you’re a woman and have issues with men hitting on you at work, you have a completely different set of considerations you must make, with virtually no overlap with the previous example.

Speaking of boundaries it looks like you need to be able to follow some yourself. This is not your opportunity to proselytize your beliefs.

In short it’s essentially a protocol that defines what type of requests must be sent between applications and a compositor.
