Not surprising. This reminds me of HBO's Silicon Valley:
Ron LaFlamme: So Pied Piper, You're one of Peter's compression plays, huh?
Richard: One of? How many does he have?
Ron LaFlamme: Not too many, like six or eight.
Richard: Okay. Why are there so many?
Ron LaFlamme: You know how sea turtles have a s*t ton of babies because most of them die on their way to the water? Peter just wants to make sure that his money makes it to the ocean.
No! I'm super bummed. I had them burned to CD, but then a hot texas summer destroyed the CD. Although, like the cartoons I enjoyed as a child, my games are probably better off being remembered than actually re-read as an experienced software engineer. ;-)
That's amazing! It's a really healthy approach, and even though it could easily be automated, it's impressive that you take the time to personally connect with them.
By the way, I love your new venture and have already signed up. Wishing you all the best!
we have a really great local library system where i live so what we're working on is definitely more a local store. we'll have a mix of titles based on our knowledge of community preferences (my wife is also a writer and knows much more than me about the local scene), seasonal titles (e.g. featuring new and old horror titles in october), plus events like author readings and educational seminars.
Hi! Congratulations on the launch; the product looks fantastic. Are you experiencing any slowdowns with a paid service like Tiptap? Last I checked, some of the most basic and popular features were behind a paywall. Have you considered using an alternative like Lexical editor?
While some Tiptap Pro extensions would have made things a little easier, I appreciate that the core and majority of the extensions are open source. It has the building blocks to create custom extensions without limits.
Docmost does not depend on any Pro Tiptap extensions.
The team at Tiptap are doing something really amazing. I believe it is fair that they find avenues to make revenue from it.
I like Lexical, but I found Tiptap first and loved it.
I used a degoogled phone for over 3 years (but mind you it was mostly through the pandemic).
1. Maps was the biggest challenge imo. Post pandemic, I needed to use maps and the alternatives were not great. It started off with MicroG and then I had no choice but to flash the google services.
2. Some payment apps do not work without google play services. There is a workaround by flashing Magisk but they would occasionally throw errors.
3. SD Card is the biggest life saver. You need to take backups of your data frequently and also keep emergency ROMs and custom firmware ready.
4. Some of your favorite apps may use Google on device APIs and may not work (this was the case with one of the food delivery service here).
5. For most of the custom ROMs you will not get updates. This means if there is a new version, you have to reflash the new version yourself. Since security updates are usually bundled with the ROM, every 3-4 months you may need to flash the updates.
6. If your device isn't well supported and you're only grabbing ROMs from random folks on the internet, there's a security gamble baked right in.
If youre a minimalist user, then you should be good for the most part.
Maps is the only service that keeps me tied to Google. I am not good with directions so its a lot of help to me and I really havent found any reliable alternatives to it.
i've been super happy with organic maps, but i have to admit maybe 3 possible downsides:
1. in my country openstreetmap is very well populated so i usually find what i'm looking for, but this isn't the case everywhere
2. search is just not as good sometimes - i once typed "gym" and it took me to a place in india. so to find places i still rarely use google maps.
3. there's no proper desktop app yet, or at least it's not widely published - i think it's being worked on, but until it's in the arch repos (the one in the AUR says it's outdated) i'm holding off on it.
still, giving google 99% less data is worth the slight inconveniences sometimes for me. also, it works perfectly offline if you download the maps!
