The US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. In fact strictly speaking “Gulf of America” is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.

I had the same, but modded it to the Nokia Engage d-pad, because it was indeed terrible.

The reason they went with this design was that the GP32 had a similar stick and it was great. No idea what went wrong with the one in the GP2X though.

Yeah, beginners are probably better served with Yunohost.

Well usually the opposite happens. People make many releases and outsource the testing to unsuspecting users.

This is IMHO fine if you clearly mark these releases as release candidates or such, so that people can make their own risk judgement. But usually that isn’t the case and one minor version looks like any other unless you have a closer look at the actual changes in the code.

I think the better option is to have many releases that are clearly marked as beta-test releases or release candidates for those that don’t mind testing stuff.

“Bigger” is a bit missleading here. Really bigger updates obviously require a major version bump to signify to users that there is potential stability or breakage issues expected.

But “bigger” in the other sense i.e. meaning slower, means that there was more time for people to run pre-release versions if they are adventurous and thus there is better testing.

Of course this assumes that there are actual beta testers and that it is easy to do so by creating such beta releases.

Yeah, running it like that here. Works fine for the most part, except that the hybrid inverter that I bought advertised “UPS” mode, but it doesn’t actually switch fast enough to avoid also adding a proper UPS (but running an UPS chained is another issue…).

It sounds a bit strange as it does actually run off the battery all the time (unless below the minimum charge limit, when it seamlessly switches to grid power automatically), but due to legal requirements it needs to switch to another supply mode when the grid power fails and this switch is not entirely seamless on my inverter.

Rebuilding my main router to work with 10gbe fiber that recently became available here. Although it is a tad expensive, so I am not actually sure yet if I will upgrade my contract.

No, that divide isn’t political. Its about utilitarianism.

The side you are opposed to cares more about getting many people “good enough” privacy, than getting the best possible privacy for a few while alienating most other people.
