0.07% of the american population against a senate and house fully in control by the Trump Party.
This is the kind of action that will get stuff done! Internet petitions that have almost never had any meaningful effects outside of literally millions of people signing petitions for extremely tiny issues that have no effect on anyone in power. That will change their minds!
Only Android Open Source Project, not the different phone UIs, vendor blobs, firmware, camera apps, etc… It is really the basics that are open source.
But also the source of android is 100% controlled by google unless it is an alternative forked project like lineageOS (at least I think so)
This is what feddit.nl uses as an alternative UI. It seems to me pretty much the UI of new reddit vs the default which is more the old UI of reddit. Also images don’t load well on photon. If you click into them, they are often the thumbnail just blown up instead of the full res version.
This is a better list than the actual list probably 😅 Not having hollow knight or cuphead on the actual list is pretty insane and it is much more of a “non-mainstream best indie games” list
If you data wasn’t being stolen and sold up until now, it 100% will be after this lol. I wonder how much worse they can make discord. Speed run anyone?
That is very cool, I have never met someone who had success with open hardware. Can I ask what the company is?
Any tips for doing crowd funding if I decide to put my stuff on the market? I feel like crowd funding has died off a lot in comparison with 10 years ago since most campaigns either don’t reach the goal, don’t deliver the product (or a very basis version), or were scams to begin with.
What is the benefit of using labplot over matplotlib or seaborn?
That is a fantastic idea. Wtf how is this not commonplace? Or am I just way behind 😅
Open-source hardware is almost non-existant compared to software. There is a reason for it.
I am an electronics engineer who makes open source hardware as a hobby.
Hardware is extremely different from software. It requires substantial monetary investment.
My company last year did a dirt-cheap lowest-possible-budget prototype design and run of 10 for someone funding themselves independently. It cost 8000€ for the design and that one prototype run, and an extremely simple design at that (electronically, medical-spec mechanically).
Software you buy a system and you can develop and develop and iterate and test 1000 times and develop multiple projects on that single machine. If you sell 0 units, sure you are out a computer and a ton of personal time. Sucks, but you won’t lose your house.
If you do electronics + mechanical development, every time you iterate on the electronics, that will be 200€-1000€ please, plus test equipment. If you make a small mistake equivalent to a wrong pointer that is another 1000 down the drain.
Hardware projects, pure material-wise, can cost more than a car to develop (just going through CE and FCC compliance testing can be 2k-10k and you aren’t allowed to sell in the EU without it.
You need capital to burn or be OK with a non-market-ready end product. Most people would rather make a down payment on a house than develop open hardware that might never recoup just the material costs. You can’t just give the hardware away for free unlike software also.
Don’t worry. Companies like Bambu and others are trying to lock down shift their printer business in the style of 2d printer companies. I hope it at least happens very slowly, but the enshittification is happening…
I love how they say
there are moments when Arceus is genuinely pretty
and then show a screenshot of a game that looks objectively worse than a low-budget movie tie-in from 2007. I mean look at the 1 tile, non-randomized, no noise, no depth, repeating light effect on the water with 0 effort put in to even make it look slightly good. The depth of field and fog looks like it is from pokemon pearl with a gaussian blur put on top of it.
Super mario sunshine from 2002 looks almost as good at the water looks 10x better lol
Gamefreak puts literally 1% effort into any of their games…
Hell I wish the big phones had SD card slots…
There are very very few phones that have them anymore. Chinese phones, Sony, fairphone, and Samsung midrange, that is about it…
I picked the 5ii for similar reasons at the time.
The problem is it only gets 2 years of support, so I haven’t gotten an update in years. Sony is living in 2010.
The fingerprint reader slowly stopped working 6 months ago via a prolific software bug that is all over forums for xperias that will never be fixed.
The battery (even ONLY charging it to 80% using battery care) is horrific after a few years, mediocre when I got it and the standby time is shit. It loses 1.5-2% battery per hour not being used at all now. I get maybe 4h SOT browsing (much less with video).
The default camera app is crap and not even worth using…
I want to try lineageOS when I get the time to see if it fixes the battery and fingerprint reader, but here in Belgium we really need access to our bank apps because almost everything is done through there.
Edit: also the xperia 1v has a glass back… https://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1_v-12263.php
If the pixel series had a damn SD card slot it would be the perfect phone for me.
I just want to sync all of my music and local backups to an SD card via syncthing dammit. I don’t want to have to pay 200€ for them adding a 5€ chip
And yet when the republicans were in the same minority situation, they have been able to block tons of major government functions, judicial appointments, and laws being passed. When the dems were in power they needed right wing compromises somehow because “otherwise the republicans would block it”.
The past 40 years have literally been lesson after lesson on how to completely make the machine grind to a halt when you have an opposition party. They choose to take not one single lesson from it and not lift a single finger when it matters.
Except a very large portion or the conservative 25% would support the Nazis and massive amount would at least sell out their souls to them if the Nazis came in to power in governments, depending on the country.
So more like “50% against hard right and nazis and 25% undecided”
Doing my part with 20-30mbps upload 😂
Uhhh, tons of people in Europe are on 240V 3 phase power.
My oven is 3100W and that is just fine. 3 phase consumer induction cooktops can easily go that high or higher.
Once my 3 phase charging pole is put in, my car will charge at >10000W on a household circuit.
I have only listened to the podcast for a year but holy shit i die not expect how much stewert softballs his guests and never argues anymore when they are spewing bullshit. I started getting agitated for example when the old white house press secretary came in saying “everything is fine, no crisis here, it’s really Obama’s fault that trump and musk are dismantling the government, dems need better press” and he just nods along. It’s so strange because I feel like that wasn’t the case 15 years ago or whatever.
The only one he pushed back on recently in my memory was Chris Christie.
I do not have high hopes for this upcoming one. It is going to be like Jake Paul vs mike Tyson, nobody wins and it is just for show.
But how does this change using VPNs with torrenting? Especially because it seems like the vast majority don’t support ipv6 as well as openvpn often leaking ipv6 IPs.
