    In case of phones, there’s less of a myriad of operating systems and libraries.

    A typical Android app is (eventually) Java with some bundled dependencies and ties in to known system endpoints (for stuff like notifications and rendering graphics).

    For windows these installers are usually responsible for getting the dependencies. Which is why some installers are enormous (and most installers of that size are web installers, so it looks smaller).

    Docker is more aimed at developers and server deployment, you don’t usually use docker for desktop applications. This is the area where you want to skip inconsistencies between environments, especially if these are hard to debug.




  • I really like SEPA mandates for this. Yes, they’re pull, but you can cancel them with one click within 52 days, and the money is back in your account in a few hours (if not instantly).

    Most companies that use it are very clear, since auto-pay by law needs a reminder or the refund is an automatic legal cancellation of the contract. (Of course, this is sometimes disguised as an upsell, mostly by telco’s or “disruptive startups”).

    And they work across Europe, so my German cloud provider can use debits to pull the money from my Durch bank account.

    The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.
