I guess the main ones for me are the improved federation capabilities (wordpress, discourse, etc) and the image proxying. But there’s a few smaller nice-to-haves too.

I’m assuming this isn’t also the update to 0.19.5
No rush or anything, but do you have a rough ETA for when that is planned?
Err… Tuck in, I guess…
Arguably a highly influential piece of modern art at this point
Ah fair play, I didn’t realise unrar was from the same guy, cheers for the extra context.
So I guess we go back to what else it could be:
There’s probably other reasons I’ve not thought of, but just a couple of the above are enough to explain it IMO
We’re talking about Android, unrar doesn’t have anything to do with this really.
RAR is and will continue to be a proprietary format with an owner who can seek royalties.
It’s like saying Google should stop licensing MPEG because ffmpeg exists—it simply doesn’t work like that
And there’s not really any money to be made charging licenses to open source projects—see ffmpeg/vlc
Google including it in android though means they can charge licenses as a per unit fee because, basically, Google (or phone manufacturers) is a company with money.
I think a big part of it for RAR specifically is that it’s a proprietary format that would technically require Google to license it, and for the tiny percentage of users that would benefit, they don’t bother.
A seemingly random but relevant example is the Japanese travel card situation with Pixel phones—every pixel on the planet has the necessary hardware to support Japanese travel cards since the pixel 6, however only pixel phones bought in Japan can use the feature (locked by the OS) because it would mean Google would have to pay a per-device cost worldwide.
This is kinda a similar situation I’d bet, they’ve proven they would rather not include the feature than pay for licensing
I suppose you’d fall into my “you’d install a file manager app if you actually needed it” category
People don’t tend to need to browse local archive formats on their phones I guess, and if they do, they’ll have a file manager app with support.
There’s support for some formats if your files are in cloud storage like Google drive, which is a more likely use case for phone users
Even more odd is there being a Brit in charge of Amtrak
Isn’t there a single qualified American that cares about trains?
Not that they were a great company to begin with, but nice one Mike Ashley, killed off another brand basically
Everyone keeps telling me “you’ll understand when you’ve got one”
I’m thinking that’s a pretty irresponsible gamble
Okay, fine, rainier part
I wish there was a Google translate for memes
Got no idea what’s going on here
Nah that’s in the Netherlands
Well I live in a rainy part of the UK, and we basically had rain all month, so longer showers are probably more likely helping avoid the reservoir flooding over here
I guess the one upside to this situation is our water isn’t even metered, we just pay a flat rate every quarter
The internet has broken my brain.
scnr is a new one on me and in an attempt to figure it out, my brain did not land on the now rather obvious “sorry, could not resist” but “skibidi cap no rizz” as some kind of ironic initialism
I’m gonna go and find some grass now
LG do some digital signage displays you could probably use, but you’re gonna struggle if you want anything above a 60hz refresh rate IIRC.
The venn diagram of flagship consumer device features and commercial displays is pretty much two mutually exclusive circles.
I wanted the same, but ended up just going for a smart TV on my last upgrade. It’s not that I couldn’t find anything within my budget, I just couldn’t find anything with the picture quality features I wanted. So please, do let me know if you have better luck
Socialism doesn’t just seem like a good idea, it’s pretty much the only possible future that doesn’t end up with 99% of humanity suffering horribly.
The idea of everyone being able to work to make the means to survive has a rapidly approaching shelf life, most companies won’t employ humans over whatever tech is on the horizon as soon as it’s cheaper. The areas that remain habitable due to climate change will shrink
I do not know why this isn’t treated as a more pressing issue
