I switched at about the same time. I miss being in my twenties. 😋

Indoors or outdoors?

My employer is forcing us to migrate from Debian to Ubuntu because they want access to paid support. Holy crap, I hate snap so much.

Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of this game before. It’s so refreshing with a game that isn’t optimized to squeeze every last drop from my wallet. I’ll gladly pay up front for a good game

Never walk behind a forklift

Sorry for chuckling at your disappointment.

I try to follow Bash strict mode. It can protect you from some foot shooting.

I hate that my government (Sweden) is a driving force behind this.

No thanks

Odd choice to use Android 11 on one of them and Android 14 on the other. Makes me suspicious of their ability to keep these devices up to date over time.

Yes, unstable Debian is still hella stable. But you probably don’t want to suggest it as the first Linux dust since you need some extra carefulness when updating.

This is enough for most projects.

You cannot seed files that are altered. It’s not the same files anymore.

So yes, as long as you want to continue sending, you need to keep the original files around.

Won’t that allow for crap to fall into the USB port?

The package name is the unique id. If you want to distribute multiple variants (like two versions with differing signatures) they should not have the same identifier. If they are not the same the id/package name should not be the same.

Having different package names would also prevent the Google play store from trying to update it.

It’s a problem of trust. Differing signature is an indication of third party tampering. People shouldn’t start to see difference in signatures as an ordinary occurrence. It should be an high alert event.

Mismatched signatures have been discouraged since day one of Android. A mismatched signature is a sign that some one other than the original publisher built this package, and the user needs to be aware that it might be malicious.

That F-Droid went with this setup with mismatched signatures was always going to make their apks look suspicious.

This is an f-droid problem. If they use the same package name, they need to use the same signature. That has been the case since long before f-droid existed.

They could just build apks with alternate package names and this wouldn’t be an issue.

Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn’t sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

We have well established ways to deal with secrets. Also, everyone is responsible enough to not self approve changes where they do things they are uncertain of.
