For me the worst part is that someone developed the functionality to monitor and track, until the signal is lost, and if so, kill. It’s really crazy how daring this is.

Mandatory respect for that guy. He left too soon.

It’s really unbelievable at this point. It’s like that gentoo, meme, you have to compile your extension from sources. Even worse, as the ‘supply chain’ chain attack in ssh showed, you have to read the code yourself too. I am not sure if Linux becoming popular is a good thing anymore.

Genuine question, is there any benefit to docker over podman?

True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.

Literally not the point. Companies being predatory, and using literal misinformation, and deception tactics to bend the law and screw up consumers to drive consumption is the point. Good for you being a brainless consumer who is totally fine being cucked by the “rent your hardware” industry, the many of us prefer to actually own our tools.

Well, they do have few mobile devices with Ryzen and QC chips, they have been investing heavily in Linux OS recently, so crossing fingers Libre phone would collaborate with them to release Libre Phone Black Magick to the gamers, that would sway a big chunk of Android enthusiasts to switch, and then apps would follow.

AMD entered the chat.

They’ve been trying to do it for ages, and they’re forever a tad closer. The software stack is where the challenge lies, not the hardware. Still today, you can buy AMD hardware that on paper is better than Nvidia’s, yet you can’t squeeze out similar performances matching shittier Nvidia cards. Even still, rocm, the ‘cuda’ for AMD, can’t even compete with even vulkan (an open source agnostic backend). So I doubt china will deliver that fast.

bcachefs entered the chat. Linus slammed the chat close.

SailfishOS. Fun fact, it’s also finnish.

Luckily now, the hardware is advanced enough that a linux phone is on the edge of being viable. If I can’t unlock a bootloader and compile my own android rom, I won’t be using Android. What’s interesting the open source alternative, like fdroid is really fully replacing the play store for me.

Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

Tech news. Fast tech news. It’s well centralized. Unfortunately nothing comes close (not reddit, nor HN, nor lemmy).

I hate to shill for Google given their recent stanceand steps against AOSP, but early Android was truely open source, and it was amazing. Then the started kneecapping it by making it heavily reliant on google services and being antagonistic against the community. Part of it because China is becoming a gigantic threat, both hardware and software (Huwaei’s latest OS). Still, AOSP has been caught in the crossfire.

I have been running Hassio on my rpi2 dietpi (supervisor mode) for 3-4 years now. Surprisingly, it’s alive still. I am mot sure hassio still support this method (all docker managed), but if you’re comfortable with linux you can make it work.
