It's killing F-Droid, which is the only place I want to sideload from.

Lost power steering at highway speeds in my '91 Corolla a couple of decades back. Didn't notice on the highway (belt just made a loud pang and I thought "What the heck was that?"), but as soon as I took an exit and had

You have a good point. Thanks for pointing this out. It hadn't occurred to me, but I think it's obvious now that I think about it.

You have a misunderstanding. SteamOS is essentially Arch Linux. Edit: Misunderstanding is mine. I think you guys are discussing something else. I was trying to assert that SteamOS is GNU/Linux, unlike the others.

The steam deck is essentially a laptop (and I think made it through FCC on that basis). Plug in a USB hub, HDMI, keyboard, mouse, and I'm all set. I actually bought an extra one because now that the mobile device ecosystem is locked do

Yes, I have an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ chip with memory set to allocate 96 gigs to the GPU and 32 gigs to the CPU. I got it last week, and I've been running gpt-oss-120b at q5 at 40t/s. I run Linux with llama.cpp compiled against ROCm 7

Not taking care of your mother while she's dying of Alzheimer's is not as easy as you might think.

You're correct, and I'm generally in favor of the right to die. I watched a documentary where they interviewed a bunch of people who attempted suicide and talked to them about the entire experience and mental state. Out of the may

You're accusing the poster of shilling. That's against site rules, but aside from that it makes no sense in this context -- the post talks about the advantages of HTMX versus Datastar.

It's more like the mouse saying fuck you to the trap holding the cheese. It's not that the mouse isn't grateful for the free cheese. It's just the mouse understands the surrounding context.

Wine is great for running the old versions of stuff that weren't shackled to the cloud. Adobe and MS Office versions from ~2013 or so work great, and are more than enough of an escape hatch when native tools don't quite cut it. A

Seems to be because the definition is arbitrarily shaped to fit the agendas of whoever is writing the definition. UPFs seem like the screen time of the 2020s -- an overly vague and mostly useless definition borne out of hysteria around a re

I'm no stranger to building boxes or running servers, but I've run a couple of different Synology NAS over the past 15 years. My estimate is that if I were to put together my own system, it would probably take several days and cos

I found two providers in 20 years that blocked my xoxy.net spam gourmet address. It's not that big of a problem.

Been using spam gourmet for 20 years. Basically a flawless service.

Yep, I had two different models that had been running for about seven years each and had an excellent experience overall until Synology tried to change their drive policy. I get all the points about EOL software and ancient hardware, but th

They way they implement the rules also removes the most trustworthy apps. Seems like a bad trade.

Looks like the fix was committed three days ago and they cut a release for version 8.1.4. https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/commit/6dd003e88feace83e... https://github.com/valkey-io/valk

When you finish paying Steam, you have a games library. When you finish paying for Gamepass, you have nothing. That's why some people root for Steam.

This comment is a fantastic study on how to adversarially read press releases like this. I suspect it's exactly correct: likely all photo IDs were leaked, but they decided to cast it as a small number by implicitly comparing it to the

Fox always was an interesting personality, and this post seems a fitting tone to close out the project. I really like tt-rss, and self-hosted it for years after Google Reader's untimely demise, but switched to FreshRSS some years back,

As soon as incentives start to diverge, centralized app stores look less benevolent.

This is how I feel. I treat the presence of a code of conduct as a sign that, particularly for small projects, the folks running the project don't have experience leading others. Always comes down to the relationship, the individuals i

Presumably the code of conduct was introduced to solve a problem. So I'd be interested in hearing about an example of a community that had problems with their social fabric, and then introduced a code of conduct, and then could demonst

There is a cost to a centralized app store that I never hear anybody talk about, which is that due to the perception of safety, it becomes a very juicy target for anybody that wants to distribute malware (or even just exploitative apps that

You're getting down-voted because you're structuring the argument in an unwinnable way, and I think you know that. None of us can prove that any phone doesn't have malware. Seems like you're arguing in bad faith.

by rpdillon 1y ago
I think the point is that you're putting too much faith in App Store Review. App Store Review is neither necessary nor sufficient to protect you.

I was super confused because he's all over the thread saying it happened 10 years ago. And I was like, wait a second, did I sleep through that? Thanks for the clarification.

It's a lot of very strong language with very little evidence.

Wasn't it added in the fourth beta of iOS 17.5, which was around April 2024?
