Of course! I was just telling you what I do. I didn't claim it was perfect 🙂

My answer to this is to moderate from an instance that doesn't defederate any other instance (other than illegally egregious ones) - SDF.

Mobile Linux suffers from a chicken-and-egg problem: it may or may not be a better mobile OS, but ultimately it doesn't matter because your bank's mobile app or your state's online ID app only run on Android or iOS. Mobile Linux would have to be a lot bigger for app makers to bother releasing their shit on Linux, but it can't get bigger because people aren't using it because it's not a practical platform.

I'm not sure how this statement is unpopular. I don't have specific numbers, but I'm willing to bet the number of people who like Apple's golden prison and the advantages it brings equals those who'd rather suffer Android for the privilege of sideloading and using deGoogled ROMs.

It's probably the cost to produce them. That's real countable money.

The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it's also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.

So yeah, I don't expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn't have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.

You know, it's great that MAGA finally shows some decency. But here's the thing: fuck MAGA.

I'd rather have a president who needs to be in a wheelchair than one who needs to be in a mental institution.

Hell, the last prez in a wheelchair was pretty great.

 

I just love 3D-printing. Not only is it almost impossible to produce a custom case like this one using tradtional machining (well, not impossible but phenomenally difficult and expensive), I can crank out a complete enclosure with the electronics mounted inside with only a few hours of CAD'ing and printing for a few bucks.

From thought to professional-looking product in less than a day and super-cheap! What a wonderful technology. It never ceases to amaze me 🙂

 

Yeah it's reset. And now it's rebooting into a Chinese OS.

 

Cool affordable hand with haptic feedback from Psyonic in San Diego, CA.

Here's a video overview of this hand.

Best of all: if you like to tinker, Psyonic put the Ability Hands' API on their Github, so you're not limited to their software: you can do your own thing and control it however you want.

 

You may have noticed that the latest CalyxOS - 6.6.23 - doesn't support charge control anymore. See here for details.

This is mighty annoying, but I understand it will come back. In the meantime, if you want to limit the charge of your battery, you can use one of these little doodads.

They're not ideal because they require Bluetooth, the charge constantly flucturates some percentage points around the target charge level, and they disconnect the data link each time they cut off. But it's better than nothing until proper charge limiting is reintroduced in CalyxOS.

 

When deportees fear for their lives so much they signal distress with a giant SOS sign, that's the sign of a robust democracy.

I guess they'll be allowed out in the courtyard one by one from now on...
