I just tested it again on my Fairphone 5 and it’s still slow. I’m not talking about the UI but the rendering of maps. Unless they somehow manage to fix that, it’ll keep being a poor experience.

Did osmand change its rendering engine to make it as smooth as OM?

I have decided against Aura because it splits the commands for AUR from the standard repos. With paru I can upgrade both by running just paru. In the end, that’s all I mostly do with an aur helper.

It also means that the rendering will potentially be different on each platform given they all use different native webviews (and there’s no “native” webview on Linux but WebKit-gtk is the most widely used one)

From what I can gather, they don’t intend on adding multi device capabilities for technical reasons. A big requirement for me is to be able to use both mobile and desktop without losing the history.

Well, Opera is also based on Chromium.

They plan a release for 2028. It’s going to be a while before it can be used for everyday browsing.

Jump ship to what? Not like there’s s lot of choices out there. You could always try LibreWolf.

Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.

Works fine here on Fennec (Firefox android fork).

I’m pretty satisfied with Fluffy but the clients do still need a lot of work indeed.

There’s a pretty simple reason. It’s that developers don’t have to spend the time to package for every single distro. I know I wouldn’t, I’d just focus on packaging for the distro that I use and flatpak. Having flatpak also means that some less known distros start with a big amount of apps available from the get go with flatpak.

Organic Maps is really good but beware that it doesn’t have lane assistance on highways which can prove to be dangerous imo.

Thanks for fixing the Wayland bug! I had to revert to 4.0 since 4.1 was completely unusable on my desktop.

That seems to be an Android app which requires the user to have it installed on their phone. No good for iOS either.

Teddit and other alternative frontends were a perfect way to send someone a Reddit link when they didn’t have an account because the mobile web experience is just pure cancer.

As always, everything is going to be complicated to implement in Brussels. I wish the city wasn’t split into communes, it makes little sense imo.

I’ve been going to the gym 2-4 times per week for about a year now. It’s a massive chore every single time and I don’t enjoy doing it but I do it for health benefits.

When I was a kid, I used to “play” Operation Flashpoint. I remember being too dumb to realise that the mouse was used to move the camera so it was basically me moving around with arrow keys and strafing to see a little to the left and right.

I had the demo of Tomba 1 (or Tombi as it was called in certain regions) on PS1. Used to play the shit out of that demo when I was a kid.
