Broken link? I’ve managed to access the repo, but not the specific file linked

It’s nice to know that my multi-paragraph unhinged angry rants on Lemmy get read by other people sometimes lmao.

The solution is making noise. Talking to your local regulators, making them know this is an issue worth looking into.
The solution is pushing your government to do their fucking job and regulate these companies so they can’t take blatant anti-costumer measures.

I’m not saying GrapheneOS isn’t a solution, it absolutely is, what I’m saying is that it isn’t the be-all and end-all, nor is it available for everybody, and coming into the comments to say “just buy a pixel duh” is smug as shit, and also missing the forest for the trees.
The solution is stopping Google from rolling out this change so everybody can enjoy the increased privacy sideloaded, FOSS apps bring, not just Graphene users.

Hell, Graphene themselves are suffering from Google’s fuckery in relation to security patches and AOSP. (Image, Original Link)
Getting Google in a big antitrust lawsuit so they’ll stop being actively hostile to projects built on top of Android would be very beneficial to Graphene, don’t you think?

Wanna talk demoralizing? How about hearing “just buy a pixel and install GOS” on every thread on this topic completely ignoring whole countries where this isn’t exactly feasible.
And when you try to point that out you get the most dismissive answer ever completely ignoring import taxes and a zillion other factors that make even used Pixels cost more than brand new phones that are head and shoulders above them specs wise.

Yeah, the whole episodic thing kinda sketches me out. Will wait until all episodes drop before picking it up.

You can’t even buy a Pixel in Brazil, one of the countries set to receive the change first on Google’s roadmap.
Being stuck on a single phone brand is never gonna be the solution.

Dude I misread “Mozilla to require data collection in new addons”, almost dropped my phone

More like remaking them inside Fortnite.

They have Rock Band too. Yes really, it’s even worked on by Harmonix, the original creators.

The author spared absolutely no punches, god damn!
Honestly, refreshing. Now I only need everyone who’s breathlessly advertising that pile of dotfiles to actually read this.

Wait, so they have the GRUB EFI executable on the standard Fat32 partition and then it reads the kernel images from another partition? I didn’t know that was possible

Specifically for Syncthing, there’s Syncthing Tray. It’ll put a little icon on your icon tray (or since you’re on KDE you can use the Plasmoid and put it wherever you want) and you can configure it to change colors depending on the status of Syncthing, send notifications when it finishes a sync or can’t connect, see a detailed view of the sync status and the folders, etc.
It’s very customizable, I’ve been using it for a while. Check it out!

Congrats on making an app!

I wish it was them handling Deus Ex instead of Aspyr 😵‍💫

Well, in that case, fair enough.
However, given that a lot of contributors allude to “putting up” with him for years in the comments of the GitHub issue, it seems it wasn’t just a bad commit that broke the camel’s back

DDR6? What? Didn’t DDR5 just start becoming common?

You still own what you ship and need to understand what you’re actually pushing.

Precisely on point. Lots of comments are talking about “Knee-jerk anti-AI” as if pushing broken code and washing your hands is ok.
Really wish the article headline was highlighting this issue instead of singling out AI.

You have to check if it works. But if it works… what is anyone bitching about?

They’re bitching about him pushing untested (by his own words) and broken code straight to main instead of going through the proper “PR, Review, Merge” loop like anyone else.
If you “have to check if it works” it should be in a PR for people to play with it, suggest improvements and make changes, not directly in the codebase.

The problem is here is not AI, the problem here is pushing code that didn’t even compile straight to main. It’s a huge collaborative project, running it as a one man show just doesn’t work anymore.
Had he made a PR/Draft, none of this would have happened. Hell, even his commit message says “needs to be reviewed before being deployed”

People don’t trust Microsoft to honor their promises. Hmm, I wonder why… 🤔

Oh look it’s Cortana 2
