I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Cheers. It took 5 full days for the comments to federate to my instance after this post, so this post was a ghost town on my end until today.

Blinx: The time sweeper

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.

Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and “undertaking” isn’t a thing, it’s completely legal to overtake in any lane.

Disappointed there doesn’t appear to be a project page

Now do the crappy mobile games

The removals also follow former Netflix gaming boss Mike Verdu — who just announced that he’s a VP of “GenAI for Games” at Netflix — telling Game File’s Stephen Totilo that the company wasn’t building interactive titles anymore.

Oh. Oh no.

I reckon that requires a legislative solution, not just a technological one.

What do the exclamation points mean?

(Possibly hollow)

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

No. “New moon” is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.

If I read that right, the normal way. It’s not a special lock, just the normal lock screen. The use case seems to be addressing the idea of your phone being snatched while unlocked, and then attempted brute forcing into apps with sensitive data pin/biometric locks

What thing called turtle are you referring to?
