Thanks, I'll check it out

 

recently I've started working with an open source java gui app that uses jpackage to generate system packages for distributions.

I'm interested in creating a flatpak for this, but I'm not sure what best practices look like for this. Should I attempt to take the files that are generated by jpackage and put those into a flatpak, or should I just take the jar file alone as provide that with a dependency on a runtime that provides java?

fair warning I am a noob in regards to flatpak

The only thing holding me back from asking for an Ubuntu laptop at work is email certificates that we need to install on windows for outlook. Otherwise I'd love to be able to switch

They don't even let us install wsl2, so annoying

recently got asahi running on an m1 macbook pro. loving the battery life that I get out of it

for an entire year's worth of development, I honestly would have expected more. Good to see that improvements are being made, but still, it's pretty small

hopefully the US doesn't keep being stupid about RISCV lmao

this is great news! we definitely need corporate backing here

Bilt is backed by Wells Fargo I'm pretty sure. All of their other communication has been through email, it's just this one thing

Context: I'm trying to get points for rent

 

I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently

Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don't have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine

I'm guessing that it's going to be hard for us outside of China to have a good idea of just how much has been deleted

This 100%. Even if you don't like canonical, you can get Ubuntu for free and then later pay for support if you need. They have experience managing fleets of systems.

There's a post on Reddit where a Brazilian state government org is testing out Ubuntu at scale.

PC version. It had some weird bugs when it came to me putting in our income and looking like it duplicated stuff, but at the end it showed everything just fine.

Got my tax return recently, was a good chunk too compared to last year which was nice

I used H&R block this year because my wife is a contractor and I don't understand the rules in that scenario lol

Thanks for the info!

Great news to hear. It would be cool if they put out more info/news/blogs about the issues they run into

 

Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

 

Found a new cafe today and they're using a bunch of old programming language books in their display

 

We've been promised modules for years now, but I haven't heard of anybody using them in a professional setting yet.

Has anybody here been using them seriously?
