Google literally owns Android tho.

Yeah yeah, AOSP and all that. Despite, Android is made primarily by Google to push Google products and most apps depend on Google services. For all intents and purposes, Android is a first party OS for Google.

From a technical point of view:

• Appimages are like MacOS .app programs. You download a random executable from a random website, that contains everything it needs to run. It’s the antithesis of the Linux way. Great for portability, awful for everything else. There are no automatic updates unless the developer explicitly bothers to implement them.
• Snaps are like docker containers. Each snap also contains everything it needs to run, but at least there is a centralized update system.
• Flatpaks are like another package manager layered over your OS. It manages its own dependency system isolated from your main dependency management. It updates its stuff pretty much like apt/dnf/pacman.
• Native are managed through your distro’s package manager, obviously.

From a feature/version point of view:

• If you have a bleeding edge or quickly moving distro, native packages are fine if you want/need up to date software. Arch users shouldn’t need Flatpaks for example. The downside is that those packages are made by the distro’s maintainers so can be anywhere from untested pre-release software (happened in Manjaro) to extremely outdated (like in Debian oldstable).
• Flatpaks/Snaps/Appimages are more and more maintained and packaged by their developers. It’s great for them as you only need to package once, all bug reports are on versions you control, and you don’t need to depend on a distro’s maintainer time and will to push updates to users. For stable distros users, this is theoretically the best of both worlds: a stable, tested OS with up to date user facing applications.

From a philosophical point of view:

• Appimages and Flatpaks are fully FOSS. Flathub is the dominant ways of distributing Flatpaks but anyone can create a competitor.
• Snaps are distributed through Canonical’s Snap Store, which is not FOSS and is vulnerable to Canonical’s corporate meddling.

My personal preference:

• Flatpaks for GUI apps, native for CLI tools
• Appimages as a last resort if it’s the only way to get a specific app.
• Snaps never.

I tried running the tgz a few months ago. It needed a shitload of deprecated python dependancies, I’m not well versed in python so after the 10th pip install I gave up.

Version 4 is unfortunately closed source and paid.

Oh thanks, I’ll check it out.

For the ones curious about what I was roasting :D

You DO love coffee. You’re just not as far down the rabbit hole as I am :D

My “baseline” nowadays is:

• 180 for 3 minutes
• 235 to 245 until the beginning of first crack
• 220 until drop.

As a rule of thumb, I found that fruitier coffees benefit from a higher temp and therefore a quicker roast.

I drop anywhere from 30s to 1 min after the beginning of 1C.

Because why not? “it’s gonna be a fun hobby”, “my local roaster is too expensive, it will pay for itself in 3 years”, “I wanna try beans I can’t find at my local roaster’s”…

Oh sorry for misunderstanding 😅

I watched a lot of videos to understand the basic principles, read a lot of forums and blog posts about roasting and the gene in particular, completely fucked up my first 5 roasts, tried half a dozen “recipes” before finding something that works for me 😅

Wow nice! I just replaced the Apollo icon on my Home Screen with this.

Looks great and feels like Apollo!

It's meta. Their intentions are never honest.
