I can see why that would be incredibly frustrating. Have you reported it to them, either via github or email?

I primarily use a nearly-bottom end android phone that's a few years old and just recently switched to an even older, even lower end android phone that is six years old. Neither has that issue.

Obviously, I'm not really claiming that it's not possible people are experiencing this issue, but it can't possibly be widespread.

I feel like most likely people are using android skins that aggressively kill apps in the background.

possibly. the problem, though, is that 85% of signal's users would A. hate it and B. not know how to shut it off (even if you told them). that's part of the problem with trying to deliver security to the masses (and similar to the backup problem that they used to have).

fwiw, as far as I can remember, the signal foundation's position has always been "once someone has physical access to your device, all bets are off."

I don't personally use it, but regardless, it'd be a shame to see it go

seems like it was $300k (the total was split between simpleX and session), but still—fair question

does it? have you been trying to use signal while disconnected from the internet?

it's not purely gov work—lots of legacy software (especially outside of the US) is java-based

and if you hire an offshore outsourcing company, odds are that they will insist on something java (spring) based, as that's where their experience is

are you certain that it wasn't included in the training data?

I saw someone do this awhile ago with a low resource language (I think it might've been Abkhaz?) with seemingly-incredible results, and eventually everyone came to understood that, even though it wasn't officially supported, Abkhaz materials had been in the training data

doesn't solve the root problem, but maybe try searching for the topic in kagi with the small web lens?

I highly respect the implicit decision to forgo repeat purchases by merging into the original game, considering how much work was clearly involved. I haven't played it, but I hope for sustainability's sake, there are sufficient (purely cosmetic) microtransactions to cover their development costs.

Kudos to the Kagi team for their relentless pursuit of innovation! Further, the public beta release of Orion for Linux represents a pivotal milestone in cross-platform synergy , and I am thrilled to rigorously evaluate its performance and long-term trajectory . This paradigm shift in browsing efficiency unequivocally validates the *substantial ROI* of my premium subscription! Let’s normalize paying for tools that actually respect user experience.

why does it seem like a very poor choice to you, exactly?

as for using an adapter, it's one extra thing to carry and also difficult to charge with simultaneously

what is the math you're doing, exactly?

also, I don't think a dozen devs is enough to support a competitive browser

anyway, companies are far(!) from just devs

That's not what they're talking about here, though, is it? They have premium offerings as well, which LLMs are causing people to not buy.

Put another way: Adam said traffic to their docs was down 40% and revenue was down 80%. I don't think it's purely traffic-driven revenue.
