That’s already how it functionally worked for each major release

Here’s their previous strategy: https://web.archive.org/web/20220917195332/source.android.com/docs/setup/about/codelines

Google works internally on the next version of the Android platform and framework according to the product’s needs and goals

When the n+1th version is ready, it’s published to the public source tree

The source management strategy above includes a codeline that Google keeps private to focus attention on the current public version of Android.

We recognize that many contributors disagree with this approach and we respect their points of view. However, this is the approach we feel is best and the one we’ve chosen to implement for Android.

As far as I can tell, this would really only affect QPRs, since the public experimental branches that get made after they throw the next release over the wall is going away

Oracle happened to it

All the devs went to LibreOffice after that

I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…

Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function

Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement

If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)

Kind of seems like they simply installed this dude’s tarpit from a few months ago

If they’re being shared as disk images, basically every Blu-Ray has an embedded Java program, also

A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory

Hardware. There’s a load value predictor that guesses the value of a load from memory

We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn’t mind as much if it was that price.

Is that how you think about your bills?

“Your rent can be paid on the 10th, and you can pay late up to the 31st”

HRBlock is the same.

I refused to use them ever again after they tried to charge me $300 when it was listed as “free”

Only because larger media outlets use it as “news”

Twitter has always been one of the smaller “social media” giants

Open source projects have trouble getting designers to help, or developers that want to implement the designers vision

My point was that even UI/UX research falls into the same categories mentioned by the other poster - most of the research is being done publicly and the private sector is just implementing it and selling it as cheaply as possible, same as the example of GPS

My point was that UI/UX research falls into the same categories as you mentioned. The private sector doesn’t innovate in design any more than it innovates in GPS

Open source has issues with design more because of who contributes to it.

If you want truly horrible UI/UX, look at tools written by hardware companies like their flashing tools or JTAG tools ;)

I’d go even father - the private sector isn’t even that good at UX/UI or design

Its main benefit is figuring out the minimum viable product and shipping it at low costs compared to the ideal perfect product from public and open design

The private sector is way better at “we won’t spend anymore time at this. It’s good enough, just deliver the product” than the research sector

What are the compelling features compared to e.g. newsboat?

Wefwef so far because it looks like Apollo

Knowing an exec who has a nanny, they’re paying them around $7,000 a year and trying to make them feel like they never do enough

Their nanny works around 75 hours a week

It’s businessinsider. The answer is always “no”

They found a post on an anonymous forum complaining and made an article about it because it fits their narrative that workers are being paid too much

They even misspelled “job” in the middle of the article they spent so little time proofreading or fact checking

Edit: The only interesting lines in the article

could get $170,000 in pay and benefits in five years’ time

The agreement has yet to be officially approved

Most places I’ve worked at say “it would cost you 5,000 / month for healthcare, but we’re only charging you $500 / month, so that’s $4,500 / month we’re paying you”
