Graphene is also based on AOSP, which Google makes worse on purpose. I don’t think they’ll allow other devices to exist forever, or rather not in a way that’s compatible with “real” Android (aka Google-infested). The only proper solution is to focus fully on the new Linux Mobile ecosystem and become independent from Google-maintained shit (and hardware - Graphene is based on Google Pixels, they literally exist at the mercy of Google). Otherwise they will fuck you over again and again. Not saying getting Linux Mobile on par will be easy, but it’s our only true, permanent option aside from rejecting smartphones altogether.

If you can’t have Graphene or Calyx (once they’re back up) there’s still /e/OS, they also got a 1-Click Installer for a few devices. As well as a how-to for several hundred. And iodeOS I guess.

Glory to Fortn-… actually no, better not.

lol

That one at least got cleared up in court, and even the damn police was pissed to be instrumentalized by 1 Penis like that (not to mention the societal backlash). In many cases it’s even legitimate to have police involved, like with wild racist deathwishes in Facebook… but they indeed went way too far in too many cases.

Surely some more Chatcontrol and big cousin Palantir will fix that, right? …right? 🫠

Fuck no.

I second that, this person is actually just lazy. I got ADHD and I always add fucking alt text, it’s part of the normal post routine no matter if I took my meds or not. And it’s not like you can’t edit it into posts if you clicked send too quickly.

I’d even argue it makes your social media experience better. Forces awareness to what you do, gives you time to reflect on your post.

I’ve always assumed [GTK] was specific to linux and used to make apps that look a certain way (like they were made for gnome) vs allowing you to make UIs the way you want to.

That definition more or less applies to Libadwaita, which is basically a fork of GTK4 but specifically for Gnome with lack of proper theming. However both of those Frameworks can be used on any desktop platform. It’s just not very common to be used outside of Linux.

There’s also Libadapta, a fork of Libadwaita that reintroduces theming capabilities. Both it and GTK4 can be themed with CSS, so you can very much make it look however you want. One example of something that’s GTK but absolutely doesn’t look like it would be KlipperScreen.

That explains so, so much. Not just why everything wants to connect somewhere, but also disasters like programs with >1000 npm package dependencies. Why learning the right way if you’ve always been told to go the easy way.

I think I’ve heard them being fully compatible (would be surprised if they weren’t), but I might be wrong.

I don’t get what’s mentioned either. Fairphone literally partners with Murena /e/OS, other ROMs are also flashable on the device. What “people” want is to buy and be happy though, and their partnership does just that for at least the EU.

The only thing that’s both a fair argument and something I commonly hear from average users is that a 3.5mm audio jack indeed would be nice. By now USB-C to 3.5mm cables with built-in DAC (which also work on any PC, very handy) are available for less than 10€ though, so it’s absolutely more of a “nice to have” thing.

Unfortunately nothing that can be done about it unless someome creates an “illegal” kernel module which supports HDMI 2.1 despite the lack of license. That’s basically the only hope right now (and I’m all for it).

“Mobile devices are not supported due to memory limitation”

This website’s expectations are apparently almost as old as the games it provides. Still awesome though.

Because it sucks? 🙃

Like, seriously, Manjaro had so many problems already that were completely preventable, makes stupid mistakes, bloats itself up with nonsense and provides no stability improvement over Arch whatsoever (which is a bad thing). On the contrary, it apparently even introduces additional bugs.

I’m not surprised they accidentally DDoS’ed the AUR, given they also have a docker script that spins up every single time an image is downloaded to push a change to git to increment a counter. Every. Single. Time. A full docker container. From scratch.

I’d only ever recommend Manjaro to people I really don’t like.

That TV in 1994 was probably worth as much as a car.

trying to do desktop apps with decent looking UIs that work across Linux/Windows/Mac is a nightmare

I’d argue that both Qt as well as GTK is right there for the taking… but those are not “industry-standard”.

reposts even harder

No.

Parts of human nature, however the systems that were made by those are now heavily clashing with other parts of our nature. The meme is correct.

Omfg, Engelblau. I only ate it once as a kid and never found that blue stuff again anywhere, but I want to have it.
