It used to be required at a lot of camping pools because the longer shorts would take too much water out of the pool.. nowadays it's not often required anymore in my experience.

Maemo and later Meego yes... I had a Nokia N900 and it was an awesome phone. Basically Debian in your pocket, easily accessible terminal with root etc.

It's not open source but it is easily rooted and you can install custom add-ons or even replace the os.

For me getting back into LEGO really helped, it's a nice and relaxing activity. Also depending on your interests a hobby like flying FPV quadcopters can be a lot of fun. Forces you to go outside too which is always good :-)

Well you could, it's just the usual pros and cons. How will you get momentum and community around the fork and how will you get a sufficient amount of instances to switch to a fork to have any impact. Not sure we're at that point yet.

Edit; checked the PR you referenced and it's just a stylistic issue apparently. While a bit pedantic imho, I think a fork reaction to this is overblown. It was merged later in another PR; https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2032

Without a link to the PR you refer to this is a bit of a vague ticket. Did it work in a previous version? And if so, which version?

Also I think your tone is not constructive and you have to keep in mind that this is all open source software being quickly developed to deal with the huge influx of new users. It's good to create github issues for these things, I also agree that it's a silly bug if true but remember the human on the other side, they owe us nothing :-)

Haha thats awesome

Aren't all Hue bulbs Zigbee? They have some WiFi or bluetooth models now I believe but afaik all of them support Zigbee with a bridge.

Plan a day where some of the guys come in skirts. Bonus points if they are a bit too short. You'll see how quick they change that dresscode. Employers are not allowed (at least where I live in EU) to have such dresscodes based on gender, that's discrimination.. we were planning to do it at the place where I work a couple years ago but when management heard about it they changed the policy.

That's ridiculously exaggerated and you know it.

In my opinion these parties are often mentioning valid issues or things that could be improved in society, and people vote for that. The problem is these parties don't really have solutions either, but that's something that doesn't show up until after the elections...

Using Calibre you could probably glue that together. I wouldn't want Android on an ereader personally.

Might want to look into Linux :-)

Literally in the article, but yes he tried a couple of times already.

While I still use and sort of like Signal, I feel that dropping SMS support was the wrong choice and I don't like the direction they are going. They are also against federation which I also don't like. I've stopped recommending Signal to people.

They won't. Most people just don't care at all unfortunately :(

Perhap we should focus on cleaning up earth first :-)

You'd still be running Windows though so why bother

Yes.

Those are definitely all valid points, though I feel a bit of UI work making it abundantly clear that it's not encrypted in case of SMS and an option perhaps to fully disable SMS in settings if you really don't want it would have helped further adoption. I feel like they are optimizing for a rather small subset of users and thereby hurting the rest.

There is NickelMenu and you can telnet into it. You can also install other OS like KOReader easily, it doesn't have a locked bootloader or anything like that. So imho that's pretty accessible and open.

No it's not running Android.

"The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!"

Hehe no the cereal stuff is rather innocent compared to 2 girls 1 cup.

As it's kind of implied at this point I thought I'd leave it out for once ;-)

But yes I do use Arch, btw.

I would recommend getting a Google Takeout export every year or so. Even before it falls off a cliff it's a good idea to have your own backups. Accounts can get blocked, hacked, etc.

Jealous of the amount of free time you have available ;-) good luck!

Oh I definitely agree. But still; when I'm running Windows the filesystem is very low on my list of annoyances.

Too soon man

Maybe sending people like you back to level it out could work?

I never said anything about Onyx, I don't own one but have considered them. They look nice and open.

I do own a couple of Kobo devices though and just wanted to say it's not running Android of any kind but it's still relatively open. Especially compared to phones, tablets and Kindle. The firmware/OS point you're trying to make is irrelevant there and I think you know it :)

It's definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.

He just did.

Really cool! Could you share a link to the chat? I would enjoy reading the full story.

We are talking about the Kobo right? It's not running any kind of Android or AOSP fork.

You should be able to boot into runlevel 1 easily and upgrade the kernel using the steps someone else already mentioned. No reason to reinstall the entire system.

Oh no I was so looking forward to just a little bit of hearing loss to finally stop hearing all these noises around me :-(

Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.

I believe that's a kbin specific bug mixing up image thumbnails or something. Works fine for me from Lemmy.

They specifically mention it's on the protocol level which would imply it's doing more than just blocking some ports. Not sure why you'd think China could pull that off but it would be infeasible for Russia?
