I give up, linux has huge downsides but the linux os by the name android seemingly doesn't but linux has huge downsides you can't even list. OK, got it.

Google disabling sideloading is not a huge linux problem, but ~~at~~ is something steaming from how Google handles it. But keep going on with how linux has huge downsides...

You are confusing few things here. You said that Linux (not Android) has huge downsides. I mentioned that Android does not have such huge technical issues and is technically doing just fine. Now you talk politics, not technicalities and these don't have anything to do with Linux or its downsides. My point is that Android proves that Linux on mobile does not have huge downsides, at least from technical POV. Also there is AOSP that is not affected by politics. Until Google decides to make it closed source that is.

I have an idea that will most certainly help. Let's send our military to help will this illegal war to burn the remaining EU ammunition to appease the Orange. You're welcome. 😵‍💫

That it doesn't have huge downsides.

Yep, that's what I remember, could phrase it better I suppose.

OTOH it happily hosts American forces.

I even remember first heat spreaders and later fans on top of them on Pentiums, probably.

Android is technically doing just fine.

This is really a stupid and anti-bicycle law, hopefully others won't follow.

Reading Berserk legally in EU (programming.dev)
 

I wonder whether there is a way to read Berserk legally in EU possibly online. There are options in Japan, few in US me thinks but none obvious in EU. And in case there is Amazon, I don't want it from there.

Pixel 6a battery replacement (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I have a bloody Pixel 6a (my first and last Google phone) with problematic battery and I wonder where to get a replacement battery from. There is plenty of those on AliExpress but I'd really like to avoid having a battery with same issues or worse. There is no battery available from my country's importer. I'm from EU. Any recommendation?

TIA

On X11 and the Fascists Maggots (blogs.gnome.org)
 

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

Sadly Roglič, after taking ~~3~~ 4 falls, abandons the Giro. 🙁

About backup and switching to a different distro (programming.dev)
 

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

driving three 4K DP displays with a 9900X(3D) iGPU? (programming.dev)
 

Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

A front light "for being seen" for K-Edge (GoPro) mount? (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

How does breaking affect brakes? (programming.dev)
 

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes
