electricprism,

So I could use this to run PostmarketOS inside Android?

electricprism,

Sony Xperia 1 II, 1III and AFAIK 1 V all do LinrageOS and are flagship phones albeit expensive out of pocket and up front.

I have mixed feels about Sony but for the Interim it’s a worthy “for right now” solution with a good camera.

PinePhone was interesting for its time but underpowered and quality could be improved on.

Librem5 is pretty decent if you measure it by Phone and SMS capabilities, those apps are okayish and it has easily pullable battery and premium aluminum side casing. But don’t expect to use a web browser on it and unoptimized apps will be slow but the camera is decent. 2008-2012 much better than pinephone camera by a lot, not flagship or even 2nd grade. This is also due to the software just “not being there” yet across the board.

At this point I am pretty much done with phones. Maybe I will use SXMO on Librem5 or something to do the basics.

I don’t think we should have phones. We should have Communicators.

Phone and SMS can be legacy and die off I just want a 5-8" device that can do Matrix and Video call and tie into StarLink Sattelite and Cell Tower and AFAIK StarLink is deploying 4G in the near future which opens up the possibility for reusing existing tech as the 4G waveband is miles whereas the 5G waveband is only optimally like 300 ft and can’t penetrate glass very well due to the wave.

In any case I think there will be significant innovation in the Linux Phone space in the next year or so for Techie Pioneers to get on board.

PostmarketOS is worth a watch too, lots of hard working people out there scratching a itch and breaking down barriers.

electricprism,

Browser based photo editing as a SaaS is haram.

electricprism,

IIRC It’s on their Wikipedia

electricprism,

Isn’t that kind of the point of keeping / and /home on separate partitions or subvolumes/pools?

electricprism,

Lads, Everyone’s entitled to an opinion… UNLESS THEIR HEADS ARE FILLED WITH LIES!!! To the Jingle Jail With The Non-believer!!! /s

electricprism,

Make it so!

electricprism,

Damn, sexy! 😘

electricprism,

Is it possible to use Linux without the command line? …Nvidia…

Yeah, with Nvidia you’re going to have a bad time never using CLI since their driver can ball kick you to TTY when GDM or SSDM takes a shit from Nvidia linker fuckups.

electricprism,

It’s a instant messenger that uses email as the backbone.

Kind of like how SMS and MMS was bootstrapped to a telephone number.

Eg: Chat@FirstLast.com

electricprism,

Okay ASUS is out. Recommendations?

Canonical Announces Availability of Real-Time Kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - 9to5Linux (9to5linux.com)

To get started with the real-time kernel for Ubuntu 24.04, check out the official documentation. One thing to keep in mind if you’re an NVIDIA GPU user is that the real-time Ubuntu kernel does not support the proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers.

electricprism,

Music recording? Idk

electricprism,

It was “time” 6+ years ago to those who were paying attention to what was coming.

electricprism,

High Fives India, Well Done!!!

electricprism,

Even CLA + GPL/MIT would suffice

electricprism,

AFAIK that’s already the deal. So the proposal is a improvement of the deal. Also don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

electricprism,

Can they open source their original code? IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMAS ASS!!!

Switching from Nvidia to AMD Graphics

I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I’ve been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I’m wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it’s mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc....

electricprism,

What distro?

electricprism,

Nice, Pop has a great track record, good stuff

electricprism,

Nice, this could especially be important in the Linux Mobile space for things like windy.com and web.pulsepoint.org and the scanner radio and other similar websites

electricprism,

Pot trying to call out Kettle.

F. Doubt.

electricprism,

Anyone see if self hosted server ever got easy enough? For realsies.

electricprism,

I hope they fix the Interface someday, the way that categories are hidden behind 5 clicks of a horizontal scroll is unintuitive and confusing for new users

electricprism,

I’ll hold the cake until they deliver, and after that credit when due

electricprism,

I’m ready for the rebranded APK now or any time

electricprism,

/s !/s

Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now....

electricprism,

He’s probably referencing that influencers of all platforms are paid to push propaganda to their followers by various state actors.

electricprism,

Anything with Bluetooth is a ID vector.

And since Apple AirTag tech is a thing there are other ID capabilities.

Maybe a Faraday bag to cut all radio.

electricprism,

Kitty & icat?

electricprism,

I hope the followup is named “Wilson”

Open source e reader (lemmy.ml)

I recently got a Sony prs 600 e reader from 2009. The battery is at the end of its life (It lasts about 3 days with heavy reading, and a couple weeks without reading). No backlight, no Wi-Fi, just an SD card that I can load epub files and small PDFs. The screen is slow and the contrast isn’t the best. The “touch screen” is...

electricprism,

Did you read it?

electricprism,

So the flip side of 501©(3) is that all the donors information is shared with the IRS instead of remaining private.

electricprism,

So people are starting to understand Bluetooth is a weapon? Cool beans.

electricprism,

Those OSX screenshots really are selling me on this being a FOSS thing I could get behind /s NOT!!

22 minuets on 32 core 7xxxx threadripper

electricprism,

How is Mozilla literally not controlled opposition? Their main source of income used to be Google.

How are they not just a antitrust prop so Google doesn’t get split up by the EU.

electricprism,

The echo chamber is strong. I am a big popularizer of that phrase for at least 2 years now. Agreed. Still the questions had to be asked to keep the concern alive.

electricprism,

Partially yes, the other concern would be who does the DNS lookups? In my opinion there should be no DNS monopoly so there is no single point of failure if captured.

The entire concept of DNS is predicated on decentralization too.

electricprism,

RHEL maybe

electricprism,

It’s not Unix-based either.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO–Linux_disputes

On August 10, 2007, a federal district court judge in SCO v. Novell ruled on summary judgment that Novell, not the SCO Group, was the rightful owner of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system. […] After the ruling, Novell announced they had no interest in suing people over Unix and stated “We don’t believe there is Unix in Linux”

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

Linux (/ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-uuks)[11] is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel,[12] an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

electricprism,

So far my claims are:

  1. Linux is not Unix
  2. Linux is not “based” on Unix

I’ve proven both claims using respected sources.

From your reading, the missing clarification you are looking for is “POSIX”. Most people don’t know what POSIX is, that’s why it reads “Unix-Like” for general audiences. If Unix didn’t exist another synonym would supplement.

Back to my original point – the OP, a layman, probably in good faith and though a honest misunderstanding, repeated a false claim that was resolved in a International 10+ year lawsuit in 2007.

It’s literally mal-information. But hey in sure your elders think that a Xbox, PS5 and Computer are all “Nintendo’s or whatever”.

electricprism,

I applaud your skepticism, though I do feel that having the source open does help make that harder.

Every time I see tinfoil references I often wonder if people realize the relation to tinfoil and blocking radiation or alpha particles, as they come in different sizes.

Hell people wear leaded vests at the dentist to block radiation from oral xrays.

Should we* start another silly club, Lead+Tinfoil? We all talk shit on the web but it seems like the majority is always the dumb masses getting scammed and duped and the weird guy in the corner gets ahead.

electricprism,

Imagine Apple making you agree to not use iTunes to make nuclear weapons… oh wait…

electricprism,

Again with the squeaky shoes

electricprism,

IIUC ‘in the heart of every cynic lies a disappointed idealist’, in any case the relation between the two is worth keeping an eye out for

electricprism,

I think that falls under “Burnout Management”

There are thousands of you and me who work around the clock to prevent the internet from blowing up all the time.

A lot of people can’t handel the constant stress, terrible hours, it takes a toll on each of us.

Softening responses, good for sure, but the demands put on the pioneers of tech, much respect – we wouldn’t be where we are without them in spite of their very real human limitations. Much props for their daily self sacrifice.
