Honestly I think we've been there for a while. The only difference now is that it's very easy for anyone to fake something, which might actually force us to face it? Or not who knows.

Yeah in a PR I would probably reject this for being too clever. Before clicking I expected the image to start at 100mb or more, but it's already under 50, who cares at this point?

The plane would keep moving while you left, so.. you would come back in to empty space.

I use raindrop.io it's very pretty and easy enough to use. On Android I can use the share menu to store articles making it easy to use on my phone too.

Why no real db? Those other 2 features make sense, but if the only option you can use sacrifices the 3rd option then it seems like a win. Postgres is awesome and easy to backup, just a single command can backup the whole thing to a file making it easy to restore.

I mean it makes sense for error reporting. Lots of apps automatically report errors so that they can be detected easily, which would require internet access.

You can use sailboats if you want, no one is stopping you

Yeah I agree, when old people have trouble using an iPhone which is one of the simplest OSs to use, there's no way that they can use Linux, yes it's good but it's not as simple to use as an iPhone. And they can get help with their iPhone from anyone, or at the Apple store, there's no Linux store they can get help from.

1 is just not true sorry. There's loads of stuff that only work as root and people use them.

About the trust issue. There's no more or less trust than running on bare metal. Sure you could compile everything from source but you probably won't, and you might trust your distro package manager, but that still has a similar problem.

I think it shares the APK, for example when you install an app from the app store the first time it downloads and installs it, but when you install it again from the work profile it doesn't need to download it.

That said if you are modding the app, if you change the app id (might be called something else), then android might be ok because it thinks they're different apps entirely avoiding the problem.
