I am aware which was one of the big sells for Graphene, to me, over LineageOS.

calyx seems interesting since they allow for bootloader relocking after install. I’ll take a look at that, thank you!

I’m in an awkward spot with my Pixel, I don’t want to continue buying Pixel hardware but there doesn’t appear to be a viable hardware vendor that supports GrapheneOS, which I really prefer because of the security and “not google” implications. It’s pretty upsetting tbh

another sex crime charge has hit the republican party 😞

also, obligatory “not a trans person”

this admin hating on trans women and banning them from competing in sports while entirely overlooking trans men on testosterone who, given the legislative focus on transfem people, could still compete in women’s sports (theoretically) while on testosterone underscores how fucking little this admin knows about how this actually works scientifically.

after all why wouldn’t “women pretending to be men” be taking testosterone and competing and dominating in sports if that’s what this is all about?

The stock got cheaper Thursday morning after his appearance

Hell yeah Gizmodo, go get 'em, we need more of this petty hating.

I am trans but still have a bigger dick than Orbán

this is modern poetry tbh, stealing this for my local groups

I have no proof, this is anecdotal, but I suspect they used a forensic analysis tool like Cellebrite, GreyKey, or Magnet Axiom to extract all the device data and search it, which makes it a cakewalk to filter for keywords, images, files, and the like. cops use this shit all the time, as do their terrorist friends all around the world.

agree 100%, I just find what limited joy I can in pointing out that this is likely bullshit and at best a con. I also get a kick out of shitting on Musk for pretending to know what he’s talking about when it comes to tech :)

depending on how badly Starlink fucks up the deployment, this could actually make the performance worse especially if airtime and spectrum are limited which I would assume would be the case. Elon throwing APs every which way isn’t likely to make that any better.

this is like getting a flat tire on your handcart and buying a G Wagon with no wheels to fix it.

this was nothing that some Ethernet and some APs couldn’t fix. and as for the cellular issues, you’re literally the White House. Throw up a femtocell, you already have fiber for backhaul.

this is such fucking nonsense. Starlink is fixing precisely none of this.

classic “the beatings will continue until morale improves” vibes from right wingers these days. smh

it also causes wearing and scoring of the cylinder walls as the fuel/air ratio is so biased that the injectors wash the oil off the parts inside the engine. this actually wears the engine out very quickly and causes it to lose power. they’re literally destroying otherwise fine engines just to be assholes.

I finally setup my computer and started playing Life is Strange. I didn’t expect to enjoy it like an art piece, but it has that feel to it.

I’m barely an engineer but I can guarantee you that anyone with the ability to build a single actual functional server could run stuff better than these clowns. they fucked up so badly that they exposed a open mail relay to the entire fucking NOAA. I’m a dumb removed but that is beyond belief, if I did anything nearly as reckless as that on a corp network I’d be in handcuffs before the top of the hour.

this isn’t just risky - this is begging to be plundered.

i just moved into a place where wired networking is not an option, and did this to get Wi-Fi into my bedroom. It works great - I’m hosting my controller on a Raspberry Pi and have two APs, with one wired to the router and one meshing. it works great :)

Merriam-Webster reads that the definition of propaganda is ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause.

Russia “attempting to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia” seems like it fits the textbook definition of propaganda to me. Not sure if you know how to use a dictionary, though - seems like it might be out of your wheelhouse.

and killing others in them while watching YouTube.

also, as a bonus, the video was transphobic and the creator is a fucking bigot.

I can’t speak for everyone but I find facts and history important when discussing the behavior of any person or organization’s behavior.

Steve Jobs did make Apple very successful - but at the same time, Apple still did bad things and those things are a part of what he did, for better or worse, and refusing to critique them is also not advisable.

because they allow third party stores and less lock-in does not mean their product is better

each person can choose the product that suits their needs

less lock-in is better for user choice and user experience, as defined by the meaning of lock-in. If a user is massively inconvenienced by a service or device when they attempt to move away from it or if something else fits their needs better, that stifles user choice because the switching costs are too high.

your original comment mentioned that users want their devices to “just work” - do you think Apple’s more aggressive lock-in is conducive to devices “just working” when the user wishes to switch to Android or PC as opposed to iOS or Mac?
