I had heard they had rewritten it in go and got a lot more performant, not sure what else they have done. I don’t care much about the politics as long as it’s still open source (is it?).
That said, I’m a happy nextcloud user and I don’t see a reason to switch (after moving both data and db onto SSDs it’s much faster, so maybe php wasn’t the bottleneck).
Are they still developing it? At this point I had assumed it was either abandoned, or otherwise never going to become a full browser, nor be used in any full browser (e.g. firefox). The tech is really cool, and Rust being a safe language by design would likely mean a much safer browser, and also really fast. Would love to see it become a real browser, not sure how much hope to hold.
Ah man… I just installed graphene to try it … (turns around and runs)
.
Seriously though, would be nice if they could get along and share code and efforts, I’d love to try a graphene-hardened OS with sandboxed microg (instead of gsf) and datura firewall :) Maybe even have the option to have microg in one profile and google play in another. One can dream
You’re right, I thought I remembered that article giving actual figures but instead it just handwavily says they didn’t sell many.
So, here is one that actually quotes a number, 3% of the whole iPhone lineup: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/04/21/iphone-13-mini-unpopular-march-quarter/
And another: https://www.cultofmac.com/news/iphone-13-mini-makes-up-a-tiny-percentage-of-apple-sales
And another, this one says 5% for some reason: https://www.notebookcheck.net/iPhone-13-Mini-sales-continue-to-disappoint-as-rumors-claim-the-iPhone-14-Mini-may-be-axed.593194.0.html
Either way 3% - 5% is a small number for Apple (or Samsung, or…) which might not justify making a small phone, but in absolute numbers, thats actually a lot of people! A smaller manufacturer should definitely be able to profitably fill this niche…
Yeah, sounds like they improved quite a bit, I might consider it, thanks! Still, lack of 5G means not so future proof
The old jelly pro had a decent modding community, and I definitely was able to unlock the bootloader and root it, though not sure about degoogling.
There is. The screen is smaller, but the actual phone is bigger 🤦♂️
They can just make them a little thicker, but still usable with one hand.
Really, it’s not a technical problem, it’s a marketing problem (i.e. not enough demand, unfortunately).
As a lover of small phones, unfortunately that’s the truth. Apple tried a couple years ago with their iPhone mini and sold very few. Still, there should be enough of us that maybe some smaller phone manufacturers could fill this niche.
And maybr make it fully unlocked and repairable, replaceable battery, etc. while they’re at it.
I have their old Jelly Pro, awesome tiny phone, replaceable battery, fits easily into any pocket, was my daily driver for a few months, but then again, it’s just a bit … too tiny. Also, battery life sucked, camera quality forget it, speaker not loud enough, low res screen, etc. I’d be curious if they improved on these things with this new version.
Still, one thing is still missing from the specs is 5G support. I mean, 4G is plenty fast, but not very future proof, carriers are starting to shift more towards 5G, 3G is already being phased out, and it’s just a matter of time before 4G follows.
Well, here’s the official “community maintained” docker repo:
https://github.com/nextcloud/docker
https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud
There’s a section about docker compose, I have my own scripts but I believe I derived them from there at some point (my memory is a bit fuzzy). I use the fpm-alpine image, if it matters.
Yeah, their AIO setup is just bad, the more “traditional” and community supported docker compose files work well, I’ve been using them for years. They’re not perfect, but work well. Nextcloud is not bad per se, but just avoid their AIO docker.
Yeah, that is ridiculous. I don’t really have a lot of respect for Google already, but this erodes what bit of respect I had left for them.
Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, Waze is Google. Also, unless it improved a lot lately, I really didn’t like it, personally.
On Android, Organic Maps or OsmAnd are pretty good if traffic data is not needed, Magic Earth has “traffic” but it’s not accurate and pales compared to gmaps. What else is there? sygic? tom tom? I tried them all a few years ago, they all had some big deal breaker. Maybe I should look at them again.
The article says that for the rest of the world it still shows “Gulf of Mexico” … I’m in the USA so I can’t check. Are you saying that you are not in the USA and it shows both names?
I’m all for dropping Google if you can, but this is not Google’s fault, it’s Trump’s. Google is simply abiding by its policies of showing names chosen by a given country. If you’re in Mexico, my understanding is that it still shows Gulf of Mexico.
Ah, and as far as dropping Google maps… seriously, I can’t find a valid alternative with real time traffic data as good as Google, free or paid, what do you suggest?
Yeah, if it’s truly open source then I want to see the training data i.e. the “source”
Lost opportunity to rebrand to ClosedAI
Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it’s common to all political parties of the world.
Yep, that’s what I gather as well. I just wish we didn’t have to choose, and could get both
