I had jrb, maintainer of the GNOME app 'Crosswords' over for espresso and dinner and he showed me something really cool - Crosswords running on an android as a native app with no design changes - libadwaita just worked in the phone profile.

Disclaimer: my post was just about libadwaita working as it should not about it working in android. Alice knows nothing about Android.

Remember the early days of Uber and Lyft, when rides were dirt cheap because the companies were operating at a loss in order to capture the minds/wallets of the masses?

The rug pull in the AI/LLM world when the companies adjust pricing to actually make a profit is going to be spectacular. Especially when you consider the numbers of people / orgs that are addicted to or dependent on such technology.
