Pine really fucked up with the PPP. That, and a few other issues around that time really soured me on Pine as a company.

Don't go in person. That just wastes everyone's time as corporate will never hear about it. Instead, call them. Insist to talk to a human. Corporate really doesn't like call center calls, and they usually have monitoring se

Yeah, and currently the hivemind-approved response to people complaining about apps not working in either GrapheneOS or Linux phones is to "just use the browser. Your bank has a website, right?" Well, I fear that loophole is quick

I think politicians across the board are completely out of touch with the average US citizen. Some more than others, but in general they're from old money, Harvard educated, go golfing with CEOs, etc. It's always been this way, ri

I doubt that anybody who is "not that technical" is going to install an AUR package on their steam deck.

I've looked at gram, but unfortunately it, being a fork of zed, still has some dependencies I'd rather not deal with. Given the recent hacks (especially those a few weeks ago with lots of compromised AUR packages in Arch) I'd

I may check this out as I'm between editors currently. Liked zed for a bit, until a blog post showed me how they were installing npm and who knows what else on my PC without me knowing. Used Code for a bit after until suddenly they sta

The internet's (at least as we knew it) days were numbered as soon as the dot com bubble happened. It changed from a thing to share info to a thing to make money. It's irrecoverably corrupted and this blatant overreach for everyon

What I would like is a setting kind of like the already-existing safety feature on pixel phones. You set a timer and if you fail to end the timer or respond when it goes off, it calls 911. Instead, I would set a timer before going through c

We also know fast food, alcohol, etc., are bad for you and yet most people do these things. I wouldn't bet on LLM usage going down due to it anytime soon.

Yup, but the community you build around a project is not.

Ooooo, JMAP support, that's nice.

This is probably a bit niche, but this guy writes about developing and using Darktable and I wish I had a fifth of his knowledge. https://avidandrew.com/

> WebKit. > A web browser designed from the ground-up. Both of these can't be true. Perhaps they're thinking of Ladybird?

A hybrid drive train would have increased the price though, which seems to be a major selling point if this.

I don't think so. If you self-host, you're on your own island and anything you write isn't seen unless you attract people to your domain. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Maybe. But as a parent, sometimes you have to make sacrifices (or force them to make sacrifices) as otherwise they won't have space grow.

This is a bit of a hand wave, sorry, but if you're okay with a 3 day battery life and want those features, then maybe the pebble is just not the watch you're looking for? I hear good things about the Garmin watches. I deeply appre

We used to just do things because it was the right thing to do, or out of pride for what we were making, or sometimes just to be better than the other guy. That everything has to be about profit is a lot of what's wrong these days. And

Fair enough. I do worry what that will mean for projects such as Linux though. Not that I think it will die or anything, but rather that it will become so fragmented that forward movement ceases.

> The upper bound on program complexity used to be the power of the human mind. Maybe for simple one-person projects. We've long since developed methods and models to allow us to make things bigger than ourselves. Linux, SAP, etc. T

I got a flier in the mail last week, offering a subscription service for ambulance rides. It was the most cyberpunk thing I'd seen personally.

Even the migrations of animals can impact it, although they usually cancel out over the course of a year I think.

It's a tool. Remote attestation isn't "evil" in the same way a knife isn't inherently evil. It's how they're used. It's not that remote attestation can't be used for good. Obviously it can. It&#x

It's marketing bullshit. For one, it's like proving a negative; you can't prove to me that humans couldn't have imagined it. Second, humans have already imagined quite a lot of crazy stuff...

Their continued all-star Linux support is worthy of applause.

Exactly my thoughts. This reads to me like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, and a scape goat being jettisoned to save face afterwards. The repo wasn't even taken down.

You're being pendantic. Choose whatever symbol you want for "2" and "4". The point is that if you have symbol apples and someone gives you symbol more, than you have an agreed-upon number in total.
