My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It’s weird.

I suppose that makes sense. Support has gotten much stronger, in the last decade or two, for using multiple monitors.

There should be a setting for enabling or disabling every single system call under the “advanced” permissions menu for each app.

That’s what GrapheneOS adds.

It’s interesting that Google hasn’t merged those features back into Android, itself.

Don’t feel bad, this place is weird. It’s a good weird. But weird.

ain’t none of us are all that bright.

If I ever get a bumper sticker, to announce my views to the world - you’ve given me the words for it. Thank you.

this isn’t Twitter

But this is Mastodon (for some of us).

Lemmy and Mastodon share content, now.

This new nerd Internet is weird, but it’s weird in cool ways.

What happens? (If, because again, that’s not what has happened, so far.)

• GrapheneOS would continue, but probably not manage compatibility with the next Pixel phone.
• Various forks of Android Open Source get created, with mixed success. Existing phones will keep working, new phones with proprietary servers drivers are much less likely to work.
• We create something like ndiswrapper to help us extract weird new phone hardware drivers and make them work with open operating systems.
• The fully open phone hardware projects suddenly get a bunch of new customers.

The last point is the only thing I’m confident is preventing Google from taking their fork of AOSP fully closed. (Yes, I know it wouldn’t be legal. But I’m not sure their lawyers think they would be held accountable. Most people don’t understand the existing laws Google already breaks daily since purchasing YouTube.)

That’s metal as fuck. Rock on.

Indeed. Gods, in general, being huge assholes - well, it would explain a lot.

But at the end of my lifetime, it’s someone I loved, but that God doesn’t love (not enough to bring them to heaven, anyway…), and so my feelings about them get updated with God’s perspective?

So I learn why I was wrong to love them?

Edit: I’m just saying that Hell as a concept, alongside an all-loving God, doesn’t compute, to me.

Whereas Hell as a concept, introduced by human church leaders, to keep tithes up, makes perfect sense, to me.

So it feels like an Occam’s Razor situation, to me.

So we join with the God-mind in order to understand why the person we previously loved isn’t worthy of love after all…

This change will also have minimal impact on most developers. App developers are unaffected, as it pertains only to platform development.

Bullshit. Not being able to follow along with relevant changes absolutely affects us.

Trunk based development is a good idea. Working in secrecy is not. They chose evil.

This is a clear indication of a lack of commitment to open source.

I’m also not a fan of being limited to certain cloud services (I use neither Google Drive nor Dropbox).

Good news!

Boox will run any cloud sync that has a recent Android app available. It’s just an Android tablet, at heart, and it’s already unlocked.

In particular, the local NAS sync client for Synology runs like a dream.

Edit: Oops. I missed that we switched from Boox to reMarkable, there.

I guess I’ll leave this since Boox sells eInk tablets that are feature matched to reMarkable, anyway.
