People suicided because of that, and the UK post office knew fully well it was their own fault.

Sometimes running strace on jvm software you will see some sycall patterns that are incredibly inefficient.

Except there's no way to do this on those platforms.

They do not have the hardware specs in their training, which is what is missing.

The whole app ecosystem however can be generated to a large extent, so missing apps should not be a barrier for free/open source mobile OSes assuming an open hardware mobile SoC.

You've tried plasma mobile? All apps are already there. What's missing are the proprietary ones like whatsapp, uber and the likes.

It's hardware support and battery life that is severely lacking.

I occasionally contribute, but nothing major. But I have a chuwi x86 tablet running debian with plasma-mobile. It's not perfect but it's quite usable I think. Now if only there would be drivers for the new style non-v4l webcams, it would be better.


Yes, I tried all open mobile OSes with PinePhone. Even apps left a lot to be desired; obviously non-open mobile SoCs are the main problem but such is the life in the ARM ecosystem where very few custom things are upstreamed.

How long ago did you try? I'm talking 2025

Why do they need to acquire users who are developers if software development is over?

Does the CEO of github count? https://youtu.be/-bAAlPXB2-c?t=180

The problem is that, is it clean room if you read all of the code in advance?

Personally I run "apt install whateverineed"

It's not difficult to download something yourself 4 million times every day to look popular :)

I don't know why you're downvoted. On a really old device I had from work they pushed out an update which introduced an overlay with ads at random places on the screen.
