You can also go to View in the menu and click "Filter by active branch" (Ctrl+Shift+A).
Also if you, like me, wanted to blame or view history for specific files there does not seem to be a way by clicking in the GUI to achieve it. But by using Ctrl+P you get the command search and can search for "Blame" or "File history".
There is a good community out there on github and discord that have flight tracking as a hobby. In addition to ADS-B there is also voice radio transmissions from aircraft (airband) and text messages (ACARS) etc. If you get hooked there is lots of different things to tinker with.
Or a way worse touchpad experience. No swiping geastures. No smooth scrolling. FN-buttons not working. Or any other million issues. I have never been able to install Linux on a laptop and getting things to work within a weekend. And then reverting becuase I need my computer.
If you're thinking of apple… as a former apple owner and current thinkpad owner… the built quality of apple is severely overrated. Please come back with comments that are not just shilling.
That was kind of my point: we're still at a stage where checking a list of supported laptops and vendors is pretty much mandatory.
This is totally laptop vendors' fault, but that doesn't change the fact of the matter.
PS: it would be fine if there was a few good options in all categories. Right now I see nothing comparable to an Asus Z13 but with first class Linux support for instance.
Yeah and its $40 per year it seems. While its good that you can continue using your version after that it does seem just a little much. I'm not sure I even want to try it now because I don't want to like it and then decide I can't afford it. I'm not against yearly license cost at all, I think that it can be hard for software companies to make something good without it. But for a new software it seems just a tad high. And I guess it will seem even more depending on where you live.
It's not "per year". It's your good old conventinal pricing, in disguise.
You buy Xyz 2002, you get to keep Xyz 2002 and get some updates. When new and shiny Xyz 2004 comes out, you look at the spec and decide if new features worth the upgrade cost.
Same here, except improvements are gradual and not packaged into yearly releases.
In general F-Droid works well for me even if I have only maybe 2-3 apps that I get from there. I think it's good that it exists.
There could be some improvements on the process of adding an app though. I recently made a very small app for myself that I thought "maybe a couple of people would find this useful, I should add it to F-Droid".
I started by reading their docs on how to add a new app. I created an account on gitlab, forked their repo and added my app. Their pipeline failed without telling me why. After reading and re-reading everything a bunch of times I had to give up and look for help. The instructions said to fix all pipeline problems before creating a merge request.
So I go to the contact page where there are a bunch of options. I chose IRC and join. Ask for help. No answer or any message sent in the channel for the next 24 hours. At this point I am getting a bit irritated and are thinking about truly giving up. Then eventually someone answers in the channel and says "create a merge request and someone will help you". Which is what the docs said NOT to do. Fine. Ok. I will create it.
I go to Gitlab and chose the right template for the merge request. And now I get a whole bunch of new instructions and questions that I have to answer that the docs never mentioned. And it even mentions in that template that I should TRY to fix pipeline problems, or someone will help me (still going against official docs on their site). Since there was a bunch of questions I would have to look up to properly answer I did not have the time to do it right away... And I still have not done it. Its on a todo-list.
tl;dr: F-Droid works okey but the whole process of submitting a new app for someone that has not gone through it before could be made way better with some updated and unified instructions.

Did you stumble across https://f-droid.org/docs/Inclusion_How-To/, or did you miss that page somehow? Because there it mentions the Submission Queue as the simpler, if somewhat slower route to adding an app. For the submission queue, you just need to fill out the pertinent data in an issue ticket and then follow along with any further instructions you might subsequently receive.
To be honest I had forgot that it was an option. I zeroed in on the other alternative from the get go since I was the developer of the app and its very limited in its usefulness. Did not want to create work for others when I thought I could easily do the work :)
To be honest, not really. I wanted to first successfully get my app published before even thinking about that. I would need to explain WHAT to improve and HOW to improve it for it to be useful and that I cannot do until I am more familiar with the project. But it is a good point.
Well I have installed latest APK from their site. Browsed for and installed apps without a problem. On my Pixel 9 Pro. So at least its not a bug affecting everyone.
There is also projects you can run in your local network that skips the segments when playing youtube videos on chromecast. Using the same crowdsourced data from SponsorBlock. The one I use: https://github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip
