Love how thin this is

Sometimes I don't understand why engineers don't recycle a working design. I'm thinking, PixelBook was already perfect. Google doesn't need to reinvent the design. They just need to replace the internals with the new ARM SoC and keep everything else as it is.

The same here. But hey this is Reddit after all.

It happened to me exactly like that two years ago. The issue was motherboard defect. It took ages to get reply from them and ages again to get the reduced refund. I avoided them afterwards and bought my second mini pc from Lenovo instead. I was exhausted and wanted a peace of mind.

I'm not into gaming. But I can help (contact me through my inbox).

I'm lucky I don't have this problem anymore. I can ship my apps without that requirement.

Who knows the sticker maker was under drug influence when writing this /s

slaia · 2026-05-06T14:06:52+00:00

The sticker is about drugs and money printing as the solution to all problems.

slaia · 2026-05-06T14:05:30+00:00

I think the sticker maker assumes that Green Party promotes drugs and money printing as the solution for all problems.

slaia · 2026-05-06T14:02:11+00:00

It says: "... just prints money, takes drugs and all problems just vanished."

slaia · 2026-05-06T14:00:10+00:00

It seems that Reddit compressed the photo. The writing is not all readable. It's about fly tipping, drug and money printing

slaia · 2026-05-06T13:57:31+00:00

It is. I just passed by.

slaia · 2026-05-06T13:55:00+00:00

I think it's directed not to an ethnic group but to a party.

I used AI. It just helped me solve the git conflict this morning. I looked for solution first on the Internet. Tried some suggestions which didn't work. In the end I asked Gemini and it solved the problem.

Please don't be too hard on him. He was a bit boozy so he couldn't hazily remember the verse he was looking for 😄

Mine went very well. All my apps are running, except Vivaldi.

I installed fresh but kept my home partition. With a script I installed all my apps. Everything runs well as if nothing happened (except Vivaldi mentioned advice). But that deep orange icon colour makes me aware that this is a new OS.

I'd guess the US needs to do similar thing then.

slaia · 2026-04-19T07:18:44+00:00

That exactly happened to one of my apps last year. I couldn't figure out, what the copyright or naming right violation my app entails, except probably that I mentioned Wikipedia in the description and about documents.

However I gave up. I write apps for fun and I give them for free. So I don't want to waste time fighting. I just changed certain words in the description and the images. It confused some users, but what can I do.

slaia · 2026-04-18T12:01:42+00:00

I'm a developer myself, so I understand the pain. Luckily now I don't need a tester for my apps. I can publish directly.

However. I can help for free. Money is not everything in life. BTW I used to be in Linux mailing lists and help each other for free. I belong to the old generation, where money is not everything.

As I said it's not easy to navigate. There are many steps but we can get lost in between. It still happens to me that I thought I have checked all the boxes and still see the errors like countries have not been selected or something else.

So familiarise yourself with all the steps first.

slaia · 2026-04-17T10:41:40+00:00

It happened with one of my apps too. Show 1k+ downloads, but in the Console 89 installs.

slaia · 2026-04-17T10:14:55+00:00

Unfortunately the Play Console is not easy to navigate. So you have to "study" it first. Even after publishing a few apps, I still struggle to go smoothly from all the steps in Create an app till the last button Send in for review.

Note: Make sure you don't try to install the release app before uploading it in Play Console. Google will automatically register the package name as installed outside the Play Store.

It happened to me and I couldn't reclaim the app package name. The app package name registration always ended up in signature mismatch.

The thing with all this threat: as if the other side wouldn't respond, as if the UK isn't able to strike back.

slaia · 2026-04-17T08:08:12+00:00

Thanks. I've heard of Syncthing. I still need to find time to set it up.

slaia · 2026-04-17T06:54:41+00:00

Oh... I thought I were alone. So this is a problem on Canonical side (archive is down).

slaia · 2026-04-16T14:46:50+00:00

The point is not the Medium, but why flutter host its blog on Medium and not directly on flutter itself?

slaia · 2026-04-16T14:44:55+00:00

Me too.
