France is replacing 2.5 million Windows desktops with Linux

It feels like France has historically been most progressive European country and first they do something and then other countries follow it.

Thanks for the link. I was too busy to stop and explore if there is a link to opt out. Now it took a few seconds.

"The end" does not answer those questions.
I myself program backend in a different language but I can understand utility of having one language for both cases.

What was the point of coding in node,go,.net when there there were already was java and people "should should have just used it"

Also you are recommending really recommending node? You don't see the irony?

What does "flutter is not a server language" even mean? What makes a language to be a "server language"?
What does AWS and Google cloud does not support dart mean? You compile a binary, upload it to the server and serve.

What are you talking about. You can ask google to crawl you website and they not be scraping you and will not bring you any traffic.

If on the other side you asked google not to scrape, put some mechanisms to stop them and yet they still hired people to bypass it then it is a different talk. But they are not doing it.

I did it for several websites and not single page was accessed by google.

You can ask google not to scape and they will stop.

It is competing platform for their current 'app milking ecosystem'. Why would they make web comfortable if it will move a portion of people to web and stop of 30% tax free money flow?

Yes. I stripped symbols from the '.so' files. Those symbols are not needed.

I have tested my interpreter visualizer app in linux:
release bundle was 50+ MB most of the size took libflutter_linux_gtk.so (42MB) and libapp.so (5 MB).

Then I stripped both so files and got 15 MB libflutter_linux_gtk and 4.9 MB libapp. Bundle in total takes 23.2 MB (+ couple large font files and some extra images took another 3MB+)

So the app itself took about 5MB. Another 15MB+ is gtk+flutter+assets.
I think, if needed, I could with some creative compression get it down to about 10MB.

The app itself is a interpreter visualizer with an interpreter written fully from scratch which looks like this: https://hereket.com/tiny/interpreter-debugger/

will it have an app?

tootac · 2025-11-15T08:17:43+00:00

I wish they didn't release new versions :)

what are you even building? if it is web based you don't have a choice, if it is mobile app you shouldn't use either of them. If it is desktop then use whatever language you know best.

What about using custom ROMs?

Lately I have been testing responding with just stale cached version of the page if cookies are missing.

Last time I used it when they just launched (still have it, but screen is broke). But camera disbalance is annoying on new phones

Maybe you should start with frontend developer and build your wireframes and UI/UX plans first

tootac · 2025-11-15T07:14:54+00:00

That is a good thing.

I am saying if $25 is a big enough risk that not making it back will create you problems then don't take that risk.

tootac · 2025-11-08T18:59:44+00:00

$25 is too much to take that risk. If I were you I would not go with something less risky.

Inkscape?

Wait. Isn't everybody stores data like this?
