Wish Lawnchair didn’t have some sort of ghosting when it won’t react to any inputs for like quarter of a second after minimizing the currently active app. Guess it’s a Samsung thing but still, not found on a default launcher. Otherwise would definitely switch to Lawnchair.

I still don’t understand who the fuck asked for such a feature.

I have two key points to understand any large codebase:

• Start with the entry point. Check the initialization process. It will most likely tell you what other parts of the code are crucial to the application. Start digging into those parts that are mentioned in the initialization process. Rinse and repeat for their dependencies which might look important. Just read and take notes if necessary. Try to understand how the application gets its stuff running. Don’t spend too much time on a specific part, just get a broad understanding and how it all flows.
• After the first step, you should start seeing some sort of patterns to how the software is made: repeating principles, common practices, overall architecture. This is the point when you should be confident enough to introduce changes to the software, therefore you should have a build environment which guarantees the application works. If it doesn’t, have someone in the team help you to get it running without any changes to the codebase. Don’t make changes until you have a working build environment.

With both done, you should already be comfortable enough to start modifying the application.

I cannot stress enough how many developers I’ve seen trying to dig into random parts of the code knowing nothing where or how it all begins, making it super-problematic to add new features. Yeah they can fix a bug or two, but the biggest issues start when they try to implement something new.

Linux community needs to assert dominance in one way or another, so let it be the way it is

I am more than sure that Linus wrote the original message as he would normally do, and then made it clean and pretty with an AI. Sometimes I resort to this option too.

This. Open source apps are generally awful at presenting themselves to a broader audience.

Even for me, who’s technical enough, an app being FOSS is not enough to even bother checking out. Yes, I’ve said it. Sorry, tinfoils, but I do put features above else. And, want it or not, general public does the same: if the featureset is not clear enough at first glance, and an app doesn’t explicitly provide clarity on what it does and how it is better than competition, most people aren’t even checking it out.

I compare it to qip or similar with voice calling support about 10 years ago. But still, Slack loses to pretty much anything on the market regarding performance, be that Element, Telegram, Skype or even Discord. It literally battles with biggest IDEs lol

Slack is one of those apps which lags in a week on any hardware, it might be better than web version but it still sucks ass compared to fucking ICQ clients. Source: using it in the company I work for, for about 7 years already.

Tried the app (Windows).

Firstly, it uses lots of CPU on a pretty powerful machine (7945hx). It at least takes 1-3% idling and up to 40-60% while doing basic tasks.

Secondly, I haven’t found jack shit related to background processing for notifications and updates. Wouldn’t this be the primary reason to have an app - to get status updates immediately?

Thirdly, it’s just a web version with exactly the same UI, exactly the same settings and so on. It literally works better in Firefox than the app itself.

I don’t see any reason to use the app over web version in a browser. No, really.

This usually happens when preview builds have been tested and they are just promoted to a stable release, and newer builds aren’t just there yet. This is neither an “obvious indication” of pushing immediately to prod, nor this is an “abandoned software” by any means. Could be, but matching dev-prod versions don’t necessarily mean that.

Samsung has also had it for quite a long time. Pretty much lots of recent mainline android additions seem to be a port of Samsung software. Repair mode, quick share, now offline find my device. They do seem to benefit from each other though, and that’s a good thing.

GPU-fucking-accelerated terminal emulator. Damn, what an age to live in.

Russian authorities usually just hijack login sms confirmation codes. This is a common practice in Russia. Not denying that something else shady might be going on, but I do know mobile providers there don’t even bother to ask why - they just provide shit on demand.

Well as soon as I just tried to make a recording it stopped reproducing. I’ll try to catch it on vid if possible. Thanks for looking into it and for all your work in general!

Typically not more than one, sometimes it could be two. But it definitely happens with just one level. Usually happens when I’m way too far down the feed, I guess?

The only problem as an overall happy Ultra user is when I try to go back from any other sub-page, the previous page sometimes starts from the very beginning as if it refreshed.

For example, when I just browse the feed, then find an interesting community, visit it, come back and I have to scroll the feed all over again. This doesn’t happen every time but only sometimes. Doesn’t feel like ram issue as I’m running S24U, should be capable for that.

Also, automatic skip of “Load next page” would be awesome as I’ve filtered quite a lot of stuff.

Otherwise Sync is amazing, keep it up!

First time?
