Line must go up

GOG is not a nonprofit. They don't need donations and I doubt there is any accountability for this money.

Therapy (both individual and group talk therapy) helps with the emotional regulation and any childhood trauma and bad coping mechanisms you acquired by being a kid with ADD/ADHD. Medication helps with the focusing of course, both allowing you to focus for longer and sometimes (in the case of XR meds) softening the "crash" so you can have the mindfulness and focus to bring your emotional regulation tools into play and start to self regulate. I firmly believe both are necessary for some (if not most) people to be truly successful living with ADD/ADHD.

Its probably part of a pattern that's getting installed. I think adding a lock (zypper al packagename) would stop it from being reinstalled

Contaminated by all the automotive detritus...

Something tells me that with how passionate these guys are this was probably just a crunch to avoid the unacceptable result of the project falling behind, but isn't sustainable. They'll burn out if this is what they have to do every time, and they probably know that and tried to avoid it.

Depends on what your definition of winning is. If we reach a state where it is literally impossible to run your own software without heavy hardware modification, which would exclude 99.9% of users, that would be like big tech winning in my book. That's why right to repair is important, and we probably also need laws to prevent OEMs from disallowing the use of alternate OS.

@akc3n@lemmy.ml another new OEM, this one using ARM cores: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/liberux-nexx--3#/

Seems like they are also trying to find their place, they just backed off from a pretty expensive desktop replacement device to offer a more reasonable phone. Maybe an OS partnership would also help them since they are currently rolling their own Linux OS...

Short TL;DR: nothing burger

Longer TL;DR: Linus sees bad changes to the git tree by Kees Cook that he interprets as being of human origin and intentional, calls them "malicious" changes and orders that Kees Cook's privileges be revoked. Turns out that the "git-filter-repo" tool being used was actually the culprit as it is very powerful and incorrect usage explains the changes. Discussion then moves toward implementing safety checks in the tooling. Kees gets his permissions back.

Just check their comment history 😂 you'll have to scroll some past their current bit where they pretend to talk like an AI, but you'll see what's up after that

Wow this is big news, Comaps is the fork of Organic Maps: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Let's be careful to remember that there are different levels of effort and understanding required for different levels of security and privacy. GrapheneOS has taken the approach of offering harm reduction, with sane defaults and options that allow advanced users to take near-complete control over their device (within the limits of the Pixel hardware). This is obvious by their inclusion of the sandboxed Google Play Store as a major feature of the OS, as it is much better than the situation on Google's Android. It is also not installed by default, forcing users to at least somewhat educate themselves in order to install it.

Accrescent is right in line with this philosophy, and is also not installed by default. Of course if your threat model (or desire) is to achieve the highest level of online anonymity and to have a completely FOSS system, you should not use it... of course you probably shouldn't use FDroid either, in that case, and should build from source. However, you are clearly in a situation where your threat model does not require those lengths, and FDroid is more of a principled choice.

I think its pointlessly inflammatory to call Accrescent "dangerous" just because it allows for non-FOSS software. Now if you want to criticize whether or not it is fulfilling its stated goals, that is another story.

Device addiction... those are all low stimulation activities compared to the screen

No, he had access but clearly the router admin interface wasn't set up to allow remote access. He then needed to access the router from a browser inside the LAN, and he did have the proxmox host configured correctly to access remotely.

Ah I see. One thing I mentioned was that they seem to be iterating quickly on hardware; maybe it would be worth a discussion with them to see if they'd be interested in trying to design a device with compatible hardware, specifically in order to allow GrapheneOS as an alternate option. Maybe they'd be more likely to entertain that vs other older OEMs.

The amount that even the middle class is capable of wasting compared to the poor is immense... I imagine the stuff from encampments is probably just trashed with no other consideration

Have you guys reached out to Nothing? Looks like they run Android, and are a relatively new company (founded by the former OnePlus founder) that is just starting sales to the US. Maybe an angle GrapheneOS could take is to be an alternate OS install option, they are very focused on growth and attracting the privacy and security community might benefit them as they aim to squeeze out more ROI. They also seem to be cranking out new phone designs at a pretty good rate, so perhaps they could accommodate hardware requests, who knows? business@nothing.tech to inquire
