I think the saving grace is that you never actually see the C (it’s piped straight in to GCC), so it might as well not exist. C GObject code has a lot of boilerplate and I like to think that Vala is the programming language that GTK programmers are actually thinking in when they write their C. Vala is essentially a compression of the C code with less room for errors.

It’s still a good app though

Gnome for phones already kinda exists with Phosh. I guess that wouldn’t be too hard to port

It might not be as good as Darktable but Snapseed which is natively made for Android can develop raw photos

I definitely recommend using Vala for Gtk as it was tailor made for it. It’s built on top of the object system that Gtk uses so the API fits in to the language flawlessly, unlike Rust. It even has its own website for browsing the Gnome APIs https://valadoc.org/

Quite a substantial step towards being able to use Linux apps on Android phones.

Blame Putin

And what is a Fucking Ass?

Hmm, I see. Surely wouldn’t that be enough if they proclaimed they would only sign real photographs though?

Perhaps a trusted certificate system (similar to https) might work for proving legitimacy?

It’s from all that soy milk

Now there’s an idea! This sounds like the most affordable option, seeing as I’d be happy to keep my current tablet (which is a samsung) for the note taking.

This looks neat! A bit bigger than my tablet but I’ll look into it

I thought about going down the two tablets route, but having to deal with two parallel OS instances would get very confusing.

A shame, those get very expensive.

That’s a good point - even just making your grant money go further (with partially repayable loans) is very valuable compared to using it all on a one time grant which might fail

Yep. You’re essentially looking for someone willing to buy debt with a substantial chance of non-repayment. Perhaps if these business loans were bundled then you would at least be able to predict with some certainty what percentage of the money you were likely to get back.

One source of inspiration that springs to mind are UK Student Loans, where incomplete repayment is expected (repayment is income-contingent and the loan defaults (with no consequences) after a fixed period of time). You’d think it would be hard to sell debt of which a substantial portion wasn’t going to get repaid. But in the case of British student loans, pension funds seemed to be interested in buying the debt, I assume because the long term predictabiloty of the repayments made up for the incomplete returns [aren’t normal loans predoctable too thouh?]. Anyway I’m getting side-tracked, this might not be all that applicable to startup funding.

Look at all the things that are the result of humans direct action. Now understand how many jobs occurred for the person that finally “did the thing” you’re looking at.

Hmm, this is actually a great perspective to look at this from. I’ll try this out

The intersectional jobs aee also a great tip. I’ll start digging

Do I understand correctly that he argues that people pay for convenience, which means that by eg. charging for the convenience of using NuGet (and donating some of that to the developers) they’d be willing to pay you even though the software itself is free already?
