When ZipoApps adds advertisements and telemetry to a future version of the Simple Mobile Tools apps, will my Google-Play-installed apps be automatically updated to the newer version with ads and telemetry? I don't want ZipoApps to get any of my data.

LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.

Source for your claim? Otherwise it’s fud

I am not making any definite claims. I am just wondering whether or not the reasoning in the question makes sense. If it does not, please tell me why the reasoning is wrong. Thank you.

People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well.

What's the issue with SuperTuxKart? I thought that it was great fun when I played it.

Looking forward to greater support for "driverless printing" in more Linux distributions, especially via IPP-over-USB. This would allow most consumer-level printers to be used directly from Linux without needing proprietary drivers and/or explicit Linux support from the printer vendor. This solves one of the common pain points when using desktop Linux at home.

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.

What are the advantages of using Borg instead of Duplicity?

Does this mean that the Eclipse Public License is allowed (unless GPL is listed as a "Secondary License") but the Mozilla Public License is not allowed (unless "Incompatible With Secondary Licenses")?

I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software

Maybe they think that their business would not be as profitable when using open source business models.

I would be willing to pay to have the license to modify my own software even if I couldn’t redistribute it afterwards.

That's source-available software. An example license that you would probably like: The GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) license.

According to F-Droid:

Anti-Features

This app has features you may not like.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

There is Plexus which does this

Thank you. That is exactly the website that I was looking for.

Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.

I believe that this is not true. I thought that it is not mandatory for your work to be licensed under the MIT license in this case. Can anyone confirm this?

In the version of Vim that I am using (Vim 8.1), the "advertisement" appears to be randomly chosen between "Help poor children in Uganda!" and "Sponsor Vim development!".

Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

The .NET SDK is still not in the Debian repositories.

For rapid development of web applications, you should probably use a web framework in a high level language. Popular examples of such web frameworks: Django (language: Python) and Ruby on Rails (language: Ruby). These frameworks have huge communities behind them, lots of documentation, and lots of educational resources available (such as books).

WiFi and mobile data are activated all the time.

In our case, there are several problems with activating both WiFi and mobile data all the time:

• At home, if the WiFi is out of range, switched off, or temporarily out of service, Android would start to consume mobile data. This is highly relevant because, at her home, WiFi is unavailable from night time till early morning to enforce self-discipline.
• Outside home, there is no need for WiFi. Why should it be switched on when it will never be used outside home? It would just be a battery drain.

Linux phones

Will we be able to use messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal on Linux phones?

Does this require a static IP address? Can it be easily used when all nodes are behind a NAT with dynamic IP addresses?
