This article is a disaster. Beyond logging into your Google account nothing they described in the article is required to set up an Android phone.

95% of what was written in this article isn't required to set up an Android phone. You can literally log into your Google account on first boot and everything is done for you, automatically.

This is literally the midwit meme... Here's how you actually set up an Android phone: - log into Google account - select a few checkboxes (basically just if you want to restore apps or not) - done, everything else is automatic All the

There's plenty of footage out there if you want to see the bodies.

The fact a leader can be assassinated at any moment by the US probably changes the succession plan slightly... I imagine any potential successor is thinking hard about whether it's a job they actually want.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Hutus_in_the_Firs... Lots of genocides have been carried out with primitive weapons, even recently. Remember, the protesters in Iran were mostly unarmed...

It's the biggest military buildup since 2003. Kinda looks like they plan on overthrowing the regime. Which would be amazing for world peace considering Iran is building drones for Russia and supporting Hezbollah and Hamas. But we&#x

Pro tip: Gemini Flash is the new Google. Bypasses all the SEO and ad garbage. Also I still haven't found anything that replaces Google for finding local, physical businesses. And Gmail? I have it mainly to give to random businesses.

Considering the law requires every app to do it, pretty expensive.

You say you read it yet you brought up a disability that wasn't in the article nor relevant to the premise of the article. 40% of people aren't blind. We know this.

> There's nothing wrong using C as your backend I didn't say there was. Saying use C instead of LLVM is fine for a language designer. But that doesn't make it a replacement for LLVM as a piece of infrastructure. C compile

Avoiding interacting with LLVM as a user doesn't mean you've created something equivalent to LLVM. And if the C compiler you use is clang then you're still literally making use of LLVM.

You'll still need a C compiler...

Except performance isn't great and it covers far fewer platforms. It aims for 70% performance but the few benchmarks I've seen show more like 30-50% performance. It's a cool project and I'd consider it for a toy languag

That's why there's nothing that comes close to LLVM and MLIR, right? If he's such a horrible engineer then we should have lots of LLVM replacements, right?

Maybe we should go back to treating people equally? Give extra benefits to certain groups and people will naturally take advantage of it.

Zelenskyy could die tomorrow and Ukraine would keep fighting. Your brain's been melted by Russian propaganda.

Maybe Ukrainian women want to have kids with their partners who are soldiers? Morale boost, probably a higher willingness to fight to the possible death if you know there's a chance your genes will survive... It's about more than

Either same time or before the N64 or closer to when the PS2 and Xbox were released. Sega missed an entire generation but then released between generations. Also they released right as N64 and PS1 games were arguably at their peaks.

Ugh sometimes I wish for an alternative universe in which Dreamcast had won over the other consoles of the day. It was just awkwardly released, too soon after PS1 and N64. On one hand it was massively impressive for the time, on the other,

One immediately noticeable thing is the lack of gestures on X11. Touchpad and touchscreen gestures just work in Wayland, most DEs implement them OOTB, even Hyprland has them. Imagine going from a modern OS to one that doesn't have tou

Mint needs to die. It's the most ancient, archaic distro ever. Replacing something that's SOTA with something that still uses X11 and years old software isn't it (it makes Debian Stable look modern).

For everyone who thinks this is the death of Bazzite or whatever, keep in mind Bazzite, all the UBlue projects, are all based on Fedora Atomic which makes it super easy to make an immutable spin. There's also Silverblue which is ready
