I wish someone would pick it back up. It was pretty useful. It took some work to get it to run on Modern Fedora and I had a lot of stability problems with it.
FWIW, I don't recall a stability problem with it on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I exercised a lot of features, but I didn't use it for a long duration (CEO wanted to try having the entire company updating Instagantt).
At first glance, I wondered whether Gnome Planner was one of those open source projects that was started overly-ambitiously, and then quickly abandoned when development got difficult. However, after using it, I got the impression that Gnome Planner was mostly there.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did try Calligra Plan. I manage a lot of medium-small projects, and to ended up not fitting my workflow very well. That said, I could see how it might be perfect for people who manage and plan bigger projects.
I've been using this for a long time and I am Patreon supporter. When I switched from Mac to Linux I had to find a replacement for my todo/planner app called Things. Planner was initially a good enough solution, but Alain (the developer) has gone above and beyond to deliver an amazing tool. It is now every bit as good as Things and the Board view will be an awesome addition.
This is one of those times where the open source option is clearly the best tool. You don't give up anything. Plus, and I think this is important for something you use all day long, it is has a nice visual design that is easy to use and figure out.
That is true except that it does not offer a sufficient solution for a synced mobile app.
I was very happily using it and even created a Todoist premium account only to find out that the interpretation between the two tools is very lacking and a lot of the things I configured and structured did not make it to Todoist and vice versa (notes, folders, hierarchies, etc). If there would be a 1–to-1 translation between the two this would be awesome.
Having a great Linux Todo app is really great. But I have to be able to at least __see__ everything the same way on my smartphone, even if I can’t edit it. Having a half baked solution like this makes it unusable.
So far I've only been able to find Flutter on Linux with ARM cpus as an initial proof of concept project someone did specifically on a raspberry pi. Is there now an official path for full Linux flutter support on ARM? I'm learning Flutter now and would love to start writing some useful apps for my Pinephone and Pinebook.
On an x86 Linux desktop, Flutter apps can run pretty well and very fast. I hope that holds true on embedded/mobile.
I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I've seen people working on customizing SWAY to be a super simple launcher. With a little effort you could probably create a simple menu launcher for that. You can run anything* that runs linux & arm so I'm sure something could be done without much code.
Yes, while YMMV, I've found it to be in or near the top tier of images as far as hardware support for the pinephone. All the top distros are developed in the open so they tend to improve together. Like all distros on the phone, Manjaro breaks sometimes but they are doing a pretty good job. I've had the best luck with Mobian, but Manjaro and Fedora were a close second.
I think the problem is that because reddit banned a lot of extremist communities there is pent up demand within those groups for a new host platform. If you start a new reddit competitor, users with those extemist views are looking for a home and will be the first to find and adopt it.
A large well formed community can survive a portion of its users with negative comments and posts, but I doubt you can build a community on the back of those users. Instead that negative group poisons the the platform for a more mainstream crowd. People won't join a plateform if the first thing they are exposed to supports extremist views.
Almost any gpu. I run gnome on wayland with 4k just fine at the max refresh rate of my monitor on 5 year old intel graphics. It's not even a slight stretch.
Comcast is a local monopoly in my area. As such, users have little recourse when Comcast abuses their power. I think given what we know about Comcast it is fair to assume that they would misuse all traffic on their network if it makes them more profitable. Their incentives are not aligned with their users. Why not save all your customer's web traffic and sell it to advertisers... Why spend any money securing all that data? what are our customers going to do? Go back to dial up?
VPN services have to compete with each other. Consumers can't really be sure their provider is doing the things they say they are, but at least their incentives are somewhat more in line with doing the right thing. I hope so anyway. Hopefully, VPN customers are a little more informed than the article suggests. I guess we will see how much NordVPN was punished in the market over the next few months.
That said, don't trust anyone on the internet - to the extent that you can - especially Comcast.
I was confused by that for a minute, but I don’t think it is in anyway related to the rest of the comment. He was just pointing out a mistake and making a separate point about being a good open source Citizen
