Yes, you make a good point. Even the hardware is locked-down. Not something I would buy at this point. Perhaps as my first printer, but then, it's not cheap exactly.

Whaaat? Drop the OG free Android distribution that has already supported hundreds of phone models across decades for a Google locked hardware with unknown future support from a vendor just announcing locking down everything they can? What is your logic?

Tom Sanladerer pointed some disqualifying flaws at least. Not just praise. But still - as far as I'm considered - no Tux, no Bux. I'd rather buy an inferior or more expensive printer that I can thinker with for as long as I own it, rather than relying on faith to not get locked out of my own printer.

He's OK, but he's still in it to make money, not just for fun.

A lot of my development experience is actually about handling people. Both management and other developers. Ego is indeed a big problem. I wish my job would be just programming/designing/debugging/testing, but this is not the nature of most of the jobs. Instead it is managing expectations, estimations, negotiating specs, features, explaining what is realistic, what is not, what is possible and what is not and why. It gets tiring quickly and is also thankless as often arrogant people who aren't actually helpful or working in the best interest of the company get mistaken for rock stars and get to do even more damage you need to fix. You also need to deal with that from time to time.

Wtf? So nobody even pretends Kosovo is a normal place anymore?

On any political opinion, you will have opposing voices, but the success of Tito is of course not easy to quantify. Yes, not too long after his death, the states got into war with each other and we know what happened. In this aspect, he did fail. But compare Yugoslavia to other eastern block countries and I'd say Yugoslavia did far better. In this aspect, the project was a success (somewhat). But we can never answer a hypothetical - would it have been better without Tito - whether with Kingdom continuing or some other solution, there is no way to determine. I would say Tito and SFRJ were a mild success. It definitely could have gone better - but if we compared other Balkan countries - it could definitely gone worse as well. The exact measure of success is not clear though.

I tried it some time ago and it was pretty usable, I reckon it is only better now.

Exactly. Which is also why I use it as well :)

I use stremio as well. But I also know Deluge has a plugin allowing you to stream a selected file from a torrent and it works with vlc

He ain't going of his own will. The EU is keeping quiet. The people are revolting, but no one is on their side. The people have been disappointed by the EU turining their head around to our struggle, because Vucic has promised them lots of things. The people will win eventually, but the public opinion of EU will be forever marred by their inaction. Then, someone else will swoop in and get the people's approval an the EU is of course not gonna like it.

Well, it definitely isn't suppose to be THAT bad. I can get a crash every half an hour or even longer. Usually for no apparent reason - like when I want to sketch on a face and the app switches from PartDesign workbench to sketcher or wise versa. And then after restart that doesn't happen again. That is annoying, has been happening for ages and would really like it to be fixed. But it's not every few minutes, more like half an hour to an hour.

 

Hi, anyone have any good self hosted solution for a doorbell camera? What I need is to have the option to look at who is at the door and be able to actuate a lock (relay operated). I have a cheap Chinese brand solution, but it uses an unknown cloud solution and is very unreliable. A phone app would be fine, but if there's a standalone tablet, that's even better.
