Unironically yes

Ex-app developer here. We do it because reminder notifications boost our re-engagement by over 10%.

When an average user downloads an app, there’s like a 70% chance they’ll use it day 1, a 10% chance they’ll use it day 7, and 1% chance they’ll still be using it by day 30. A simple reminder notification after day 3 or 15 can drastically boost those numbers.

Why do we care about the numbers? Because Google and Apple care. They see higher numbers, assume it’s a good app, and make it show up in the search results more frequently. This gives us more downloads.

If you’re putting the time in to craft a quality app, you probably need money, which comes from ads and subscriptions, which is funneled by the number of downloads. If you don’t like that as a user, stick to FDroid.

the same API that helps your app ASO

Honestly, I wasn’t sold before, but I am now

One thing no one mentioned is the license. I won’t touch BSD because if any BSD system gets good enough, a big corpo can fork it, get slightly ahead, and then never give back.

Wait is it bean or beam?

Agreed. I was more on board before the Rust train lost some steam, but shit breaking all the time is worth putting an end to

The problem is they’re either lazy or busy (the one guy I knew was busy), and unlike you or me they can’t trust anyone to clean their apartment/car for them.

There was one girl I knew who was known among the dealers as trustworthy - if she saw 50 grand under your bed she would clean around it but not touch it. She made bank

This troll post strikes more emotion than the latest Marvel movies

Yes but also not really, they could just stop buying those ads

Can you articulate the real advantages of separating these things? Seems like bloat

Sure, I have an image like that: ![](data://hEmQAObamAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bad license though

Yes, then he got a bunch of backlash and now he’s doing the reverse. And people are losing their shit even more

But those aren’t the options on the table right now. The options are “nullify copyright” or “keep infinite copyright”

Y’all have the wrong take. Fuck copyright.

Webview2 is the edge component that is assumed to be installed on all Windows computers. Unlike runtimes which a launcher could detect is missing and install, Webview2 doesn’t have a silent installed that can be bundled. The user must, by hand, go to a website, select their CPU architecture, and install it.

Anyways it’s clear that, at least within the Windows org, Microsoft is the new Oracle and teams are pointing guns at each other. Hopefully it dies quick to avoid this slow decay.

If you have 100$, and you bet 1$ at a time, infinitely, you will lose.

More generally (simplified to assume you’re always betting the same amount):

P(ruin after X bets) = (edit: I removed my formula because it was wrong…but I’m sure you could mathematically prove a formula)

I missed a few weeks of This week in Plasma, and while gaming yesterday on my laptop, I clicked the the battery and saw I could put it into Performance mode. Amazing surprise, I love KDE more every time!

I haven’t been following the DNM seen much. Are there any good sources on the recent busts?
