Person behind Arctius for lemmy :) My other account: [email protected]
I like cats and chickens.
Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well
From the perspective of FOSS developer:
I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.
Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.
or else they will block it in norway
Tech related stuff and old memes*
There’s a lot of free open source alternatives :)
Thank you :)
Fennec’s dev here: changed name for Fennec to Arctius to stop the confusion.
No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn’t aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we’re going by fennec rn
For Android: fennec does this.
Spoilers: I’m this app’s developer :)
Isn’t its everywhere in the world right now? Economic system is rigged towards the elites and thats what we have to deal with
It’s not like corporations produce greenhouse gasses because they think it’s fun.
I think we can agree on that corporations are aimed at cheapest way to produce most popular goods at the biggest scale they can achieve for, in the end, produce the biggest possible profit. Thats what corporations are made for: money.
In the end, rich guy gets a yacht, bunker for apocalypse and private residence with AC, private kitchen stuff and anything they want so he will be fine even if its 60C outside. If it will get unbearable, they’ll move to something like Norway and will be fine.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people who live in hot countries will die and millions will be climate refugees.
All that, because producing iphone with coal electricity (simplification, albeit I feel like its close to truth) is 10$ cheaper.
Blaming corporations, even if partially accurate, doesn’t actually get us any closer to solving things.
Swapping to paper bags will not help either. There are only two options to solve the issue:
1 is impossible because gov will never cut the feeding hand and 2 is just a matter of time until we will get couple hundred millions migrants from Aftica, India, Pakistan etc.
This is fine, we just need to switch from plastic bugs and make caps attached to bottles and everything will be alright! Together we can fight at least 1% of the carbon emissions from top 100 corporations in the world :)
It’s amazing how well it handles the load now compared to just a few weeks before
My boss legit says that he will give me some time to work on it every 2-3 months and then drops a “customer requires X feature and I promised that we will deliver in one week”. And mind you we have to patch up to 3 major versions in the past to back port the new feature because client haven’t upgraded and won’t in near future… which means sometimes our major releases are 60-70% same as our minor patches for old versions. Semvering much?
