Google also made that argument, and further argued that they could do it better. Which is why they planned to replace the entire kernel and services with zircon and fuchsia, and a new Android runtime ontop. Guess what, turns out Google actu

One of the largest issues of LSP is that each language implementation needs to do everything separately, and that means each language will work differently. Imagine if all the editing tools in microsoft word were specific to the language yo

That's always been the deal: they can build their OS on the work of many volunteers, and we in turn can build our projects on top of the OS. Google is trying to take from the community potluck without giving anything back.

Who is this "he" you're talking about? Or were you referring to an LLM? If so, the correct pronoun would be "it". Your english is really good, except for that little mistake.

I actually managed to travel from one star system to another in DSP without warp, they happened to be just close enough that a full inventory of fuel was just barely enough to make the trip.

Tbh, I don't see the use case for Robinson when Winkel-Tripel exists. For almost all use cases where you need a political world map, Winkel-Tripel is the better choice. Equal earth also has its uses, it's a neat and clean map, but

USB DACs themselves are fine, but many wireless headphones that also support USB-C run active processing with unpredictable latency.

They're still significantly worse than the builtin 3.5mm ports Sony provides, and they're obviously still a major inconvenience.

Regarding the differentiated branding, I've been hoping for a GrapheneLite for many years now. Regarding direct AOSP support, there are many devices that work fine with just the generic system image, which I'd count as direct AOSP

I have been using Sony Xperia's since the Pixel 1 phased out the headphone jack, and the Xperias have had better 3.5mm jacks than even many dedicated DACs. Physical SIMs being phased out seems to be primarily a US thing right now, but

Have you seen the raw images you get out of those cameras? They're still the same grainy low res webcam sensors they were 10 years ago (if not worse), most of the improvement is just AI hallucinating details.

If there will be a GrapheneOS image for the Pixel 11 without MTE, could that open the door for GrapheneOS on a lot more phones that support AOSP?

Does this mean we might finally get a phone with 3.5mm jack, microSD slot and GrapheneOS support? I believe I've been asking for that for 10 years now.

In 2019, only 20% of Germans had a Visa/Mastercard. The vast majority of Germans used the German GiroCard network, as many vendors refused Visa/Mastercard due to the higher fees (2-3% vs GiroCard's 0.125%), and there was no r
