Certainly has an impact, but the embargo is also used by the government as a scapegoat to cover up poor policies, corruption, etc.

I have heard from some Cubans they would love to see the embargo lifted just to expose how many of the problems are created by the government/army.


Pretty cool! I tried to list my app but the screenshot upload doesn't seem to work -- it won't accept any files I've tried via drag/drop in Chrome or Firefox. I've been able to upload files to other sites without any issue (running Linux).


Thank you for the feedback, we're looking into this. In the meantime, you should be able to upload from your files if the images have the correct aspect ratio. If you continue to have issues, ping me at support@store.app and we'll make sure everything gets sorted out.


Actually, it's my own fault -- I assumed the area in the preview that said I hadn't uploaded any images yet was the drop target, but it's not, that's over in the sidebar. Cheers!


Ohhh gotcha - that's still good feedback, though - we will try to make that more intuitive!


the old wifi (Gogo Inflight) is slow and terrible. The new wifi being rolled out (ViaSat) is better, the speedtest screenshots I've seen have been 50-150 Mbps down.


But they will still prevent youtube videos. Once you put 150 people on a flight with, that bandwidth will be expected to drop significantly.


Is this changing with the free WiFi rollout? I was on a flight very recently with updated Viasat Wifi and was able to stream YouTube.



Zoom happily supports screen sharing on Wayland/gnome, even using the flatpak version.


Not if you use screen scaling.


For what it's worth, I do use screen scaling (in fact: different scales on different screens) and haven't had trouble with screen sharing on Zoom on Ubuntu in over a year.


> Obscuring your location from your employer could be a thing

This seems fairly unlikely... Your employer needs to do some really basic things that require knowing where you live, like withold your state taxes, ensure they are abiding by state employment laws at the very least.


When I worked at Cisco years ago fresh out of college, they offered an Employee Stock Purchase Program -- you could put up to X$ towards purchasing Cisco stock over the quarter, and the stock was issued at the end of the quarter at min(start_price, end_price) * 0.85.

I haven't worked at another large corporation since then but I thought that was fairly generous and I still have quite a bit of CSCO from that program.


> "bundle update mimemagic" should fix this...

assuming your codebase is ok with an MIT-licensed dependency suddenly becoming a GPL-licensed dependency.


It also worked as drop in replacement for PulseAudio for me, except all my audio now had stutters and pops. I ended up going back to Pulse.

I got suggestions that I could go tweak buffer sizes stuff in a config file somewhere, but for my simple desktop use case I'd rather my audio just sounds right out of the box.

Hopefully this sort of thing gets straightened out, because having to muck with config files to make my sound server actually work is like going back to working directly with ALSA or OSS.


I had a couple little issues as well when I switched over a couple months ago, but they just fell away over the ensuing weeks of updates until there's nothing left at the moment. Give it another try sometime soon.


I can confirm that a issue causing my audio to completely drop at random points resolved about 1 month ago and now everything works perfectly.


FWIW I had issues with it on debian 10, until I built and installed it from master. It was a bit smoother on debian 11 but I couldn't get bluetooth to work.


Just a warning that although it claims to support Linux, on launch I got two options:

* Run without wine (Linux)

* Launch with wine

The first one took me to a black screen. The second took me into the game but the colors were entirely wrong -- everything was red and black. So caveat emptor.
