That’s something, at least.
I want to show more empathy, but the dude made the choice to start a new war in the nuclear era when we cannot afford war anymore. (And yes, I’m aware he’s not the first.)
I wonder sometimes if we face a choice between strictly rejecting his kind (war starters) from our species, or accept that our species is destined to cease to exist.
Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.
The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.
Nice write up.
I feel like everyone under-sells the speed difference, though. I haven’t seen performance differences this impressive from an OS switch in many years.
For those that know the feeling of switching a tired old x86 to Linux and getting a peppy performant device - this is better.
Maybe it just feels better from being a pocket device, or maybe my last phone was more deeply bogged down with vendor crap than I can fathom.
Either way, my affordable older Pixel is running GrapheneOS substantially more responsive for daily tasks than the most expensive phones I have ever bought before.
You never met my neighbor…
Joking aside, I really did have to move away to prevent things getting worse.
I pride myself on getting along with people, but this experience made me admit that some people just genuinely suck.
Return to Office Mandates are trying and failing to mask poor company performance.
I used to buy a lot of stuff off of Amazon, and subscribe to Prime, and Kindle Unlimited, all while their service got a little shittier each year.
But they couldn’t stop there, and decided to go union-busting, which changed it from a personal choice to a moral one, for me.
(And some Sarcasm:) I didn’t think my behavior was enough to cause them all this trouble, but I guess I was buying waaaaay too much shit at Amazon.
The nicest thing about the second picture is how much free untamed land it leaves for me to find a spot to bury the body of my asshole upstairs neighbor.
Edit: I’m not a murderer… But only because I moved out.
Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.
Larry has apparently never seen a single episode of any reality TV show. That’s impressive.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.
History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.
It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.
Lol. It’s not the groundhog we should be watching, then?
They probably mean Open Container Initiative (OCI), the protocol shared by Podman and Docker.
Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and aa rot13 transformation.
Lol. You’re not wrong.
I’m kinda jealous. I don’t miss maintaining production Perl code, but Perl was more fun to code in.
Maybe they’re just very careful never to promote anyone from engineering to the bridge crew…
Lisp is the more logical choice.
Relevant XKCD. Python has replaced Perl, but things have otherwise changed quite little.
I actually get all of my passwords from keyboard cats on social media.
The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.
Or, considering that they’re mostly introverts, if they look approvingly in the general direction of your shoes…
Gee. The police are still protecting us by smashing fun things
Edit: Since I don’t in any way routinely buy from these guys, there’s no way I can possibly let y’all know later, when the supply is in no noticable way diminished by this.
The exciting thing about this is just being able to reuse more USB controllers that happen to be lying around available.
The vast majority of the Evercade catalog has no particular use for Analog controls, but it’ll be nice to be able to plug in and use a controller that happens to have analog sticks.
It’s also worth noting that none of the games that do support Analog actually expected the player to have analog sticks. I’ve played most of those either on PS1 or Evercade, and they’re winnable without analog sticks.
Analog sticks for PS1 were available, but most folks didn’t have them.
On the stable channel, it seems like (from comparing notes with friends) a recent update introduced crashes into older games that did not crash previously. In my case, Proton is always involved.
