Agreed. There truly is no good reason to prevent people from unlocking their phones' bootloaders. There are plenty of bad ones.

I've seen people manually create a separate unprivileged user on the host for each VM they run, so for them the pattern becomes: 1. VM running on hypervisor as unprivileged host user 2. Container running in VM as unprivileged vm user 3

A only have one question: Why is this time different from the countless times this happened before? Hasn't humanity already decided on the worth(lessness) of the people living there? That their suffering and death is worth the cause? W

I guess I would not be allowed entry (the only social media site I use is hn). Also, wouldn't this just incentivize desperate people to buy fake online accounts that were built over a long period just for this purpose?

Very true. A feudal relationship once established was never going to conform to their political interests. They simply pushed too far, too fast, and for too long for that to be a possibility.

This is really neat! I know Microsoft would never integrate this into github, but what about integrating this other less vendor-lockin-ey scm platforms like forgejo or gitlab? It might be a much better fit then retrofitting activity-pub (cu

This might be a dumb question but what about _compliant_ joints that expand and contract when warmed up by the sun? You can have any expansion multiplied such that minor changes in length are sufficient to track the sun in a meaningful mann

Melted toner pallets are shiny and contrast well against paper. I'd set the document background to be a sold yellow before printing it (assuming the privacy invading dots are guaranteed to be yellow).

I remember the last time a tried it on the steam deck, less than a year ago through their launcher, it was completely broken and unplayable. I would love to give it another go if this was fixed.

Same here. Anything I try seems to just work. The only problem is anticheat but even those are starting to behave even when isolated and confined in containers.

Open source and hackable makes this a dream watch replacement for my old watch. Hopefully these new watches see great success, so much so that they motivates competition that is willing to sale in stores so that I can buy one.

... without restricting other people. This whole mess is because society decided that restricting everyone's rights to share and access information was a sane tradeoff to make for making sure people got paid. No it is not and, so long

Slightly off topic but is it still practically impossible to build APKs without agreeing to EULAs and using proprietary blobs? It's great we are seeing more effort be put into open source android apps, but being forced to use restricte

This. It can be easily done in the GUIs as well (Don't ask how I know). I don't know where GP got the idea that you can't set a client to 0B/s. All the clients I am aware of support setting the seeding rate.

We are driving full speed into a xerox 2.0 moment and this time we are doing so knowingly. At least with xerox, the errors were out of place and easy to detect by a human. I wonder how many innocent people will lose their lives or be falsel

The premise, that forgoing copyright would necessitate the forgoing of incentives and rewards, is one entirely of your own assertion and was not implied in my above comment. I agree that your assertion is flawed. There can be, and are, ince

Humanity keeps running into copyright issues with every major leap in IT technology (photocopiers, tape cassettes, personal computers, internet, and now AI). I think it's about time for humanity to rethink their take on the unnatural r

Good point. If you consider the size of your dependency graph as a risk, especially for languages that encourage large dependency graphs like JS and Rust, then Go has a very clear advantage.

Perhaps, but all I really care about is having a complied, strongly-typed language with a fully-featured modern stdlib and good cross-compilation support that includes wasm. If that comes with an automatic admission to the Google Fanboy Clu

What do memory and thread safety have to do with the project's stated goals? I for one would love to avoid systemd's arbitrary requirements while retaining compatibility with upstream (e.g. PID must be 1).

Even without GPS, I imagine osm would still prove invaluable in saving lives during a disaster. I wish there was a simple, portable, plug-and-play solution for downloading and viewing maps on Linux/Desktop computers.

This was a very bad move by the Linux foundation. They should get new lawyers. Linux development should probably be moved outside of wartime/unstable jurisdictions like the US.

I hope whichever country/company that champions this kind of DRM gets their infra compromised and permanently disabled. It's absurd that we're at a point where we are entertaining this level of control as a possibility. This

I second this request. Any publicly indexable channel would be fine. I think Matrix is not publicly indexable unless the channel is unencrypted and set to public.

You'd be surprised. There are a lot of people out there (and here) who think that unilaterally-declared LLM licenses can dictate what they are allowed to do with the output. Hell, a lot of people think that LLM's can be copyrighta

Is there any phone that runs mainline Linux/upstream Debian, and is available to buy right now? I'm sick of big companies who removed the word Consent from their dictionaries. I want something I can own and trust again. Being ab

I'm pretty sure I could also manually flip bits in memory to get something that runs on Android but I wouldn't call that practical. So the answer is: No, no practical way exists for people to freely (as in speech) develop android
