Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App
  • They wrote "lower level firmware modifications", AOSP runs on Linux kernel, and firmware modifications usually mean they modified the Linux kernel. This device seems like a regular Android phone, and afaik this rules apply to all Android phones, that's why Android rom cooking can exist.

  • Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App
  • Yes, I know, but that shouldn't be a norm.

    There was a case this year, where SFC, a nonprofit organization won against Vizio for LGPL violation. It's important, because SFC was just a normal consumer, not the owner of the original code. So now just a random user can sue this Rabbit company, and they should win, more details here: https://blog.lukaspanni.de/2024/01/09/the-significance-of-the-vizio-judgment-for-open-source-compliance-programs/

    Edit: the case is not settled yet, but ongoing since 2021: https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html

    And there are other funny solutions, like when a Chinese "tech influencer/diy maker" Naomi Wu aka SexyCyborg just simply walked into the office of a Chinese manufacturer, and requested the source code in person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj04MKykmnQ

  • Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App
  • AOSP and lower level firmware modifications

    But it's android, so linux, so GPL2, so they have to share these modifications (if they really exist). It's bootleg until soneone sues them.

  • What does your todo list / project management / productivity setup look like?
    • Todo list: Nextcloud Deck, it has a web app and android app. Tasks here are usually long term, and I only update them infrequently
    • For quick notes and tasks Nextcloud tasks, on mobile I edit with opentasks, and sync with davx5, on desktop I edit them in Thunderbird.
    • Everything which has a date or deadline goes to the calendar. Again it's nextcloud, synced with davx5, etar is my calendar app on android, Thunderbird on desktop.
    • Shopping list goes to HomeAssistant
  • This bench at the train stop has nice clean boards. This is at the LaSalle/ Van Buren stop in Chicago.
  • Traffic calming has another reason, it makes the street more accessible to pedestrians. They build speed bumps where there is already pedestrian traffic, and they require some assistance. The car equivalent of this would be a speed bump on a high speed motorway, it's only reason is to annoy some users, without really benefiting anyone else. Or building a roundabout with only 2 exits.

    one person occupies it for a long period of time

    You just said "a homeless person" with different words. Remember, this is at a train stop. Everyone will leave with the next train. But they add things like this on benches in parks as well, where not just the homeless would like to lie down. But they sacrifice the comfort of other users just to mess up with the unlucky.

    for several people to use when needed for shorter periods.

    Yes, that's a legit reason, but the problem is not just this. Why this thing exists at all? Why would anyone want to sleep on a bench on a train station? Because they can't find a better place to sleep. So there is a much more complex social problem behind the scenes, and solutions exist to mitigate it to an acceptable level, but they are expensive and won't get you votes, so nobody cares.

    This armrest is an epitome of not dealing with the problem just making it look like it doesn't exist, because homelesses now sleep somewhere else. And you just payed for something which is not a solution, but moves the problem from one part of the city to the other part. What will happen if all benches and horizontal places will get some anti homeless details? Homeless will magically disappear from the world?

  • Fun fact: we don't know if giraffes can swim. No one ever seen a swimming giraffe.

    We know horses can, and scientists try to scale that data up for giraffes, because simply dropping a giraffe in a lake would be considered inhumane. Research article: Predicting the buoyancy, equilibrium and potential swimming ability of giraffes by computational analysis

  • I don't know who Wayland is
  • It's not os based, usually you can switch between the 2 on your login screen. To check if you are in a wayland session, type this in a terminal:

    echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
    

    The answer should be wayland or x11

  • This bench at the train stop has nice clean boards. This is at the LaSalle/ Van Buren stop in Chicago.
  • Why can't we build things which are not deliberately hostile to someone? Why we should make someone's life even more miserable? It's a bench. It's purpose should be to give some rest for ANY people, regardless of financial status or weight.

    To see it in context the opposite of hostile architecture is called universal design.

  • Application icons in taskbar messed up after Gnome 46 update
  • Check what is in the desktop file first. If the icon name is misspelled there, it won't work with any icon pack ever.

    I know how this works because the same happened to me with Thunderbird, at some release they changed the icon name in the desktop file, but it wasn't updated in my icon packs, I expect something similar here as well. Without checking this you can't be sure who's fault is this, but I guess the app's developers or maintainers messed up their desktop file some way.

  • Application icons in taskbar messed up after Gnome 46 update
  • Gnome reads the icon name from the desktop file. You have to find the desktop file of this app, check its icon name there, and make sure there is a similarly named icon available in the icon pack.

    To find the desktop file: open Looking Glass (Alt+F2 -> type lg Enter-> click Windows on the top right) you should see your open windows there, it should show the name of the desktop file, even if you started from terminal. You can find the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications or in /usr/share/applications. Open the file, and you should see a line starting with Icon, this is what Gnome reads.

    To check if a similarly named icon exists search for that name in /usr/share/icons/. If you can't find a named icon, than the problem is in your icon pack, you should open an issue there. If you want to change the icon to something else, change the line in the desktop file.

  • I don't know who Wayland is
  • The important part that they are a bunch of new commands. We had old commands for this things, but they were written a long-long time ago, and computers evolved a lot since that, we can't fix the old commands anymore.

    How do you tag bus lanes?

    I use psv:lanes, but there are no real bus lanes here, it's called buslane, but law says taxis can also use it.

    Default makepkg.conf options changed with pacman 6.0.2-9, so now every package built from AUR also builds and installs its debugging symbols

    MR: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pacman/-/merge_requests/1

    An issue: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/issues/91

    To find your already installed debug packages: pacman -Q | grep -e '-debug '

    This debug packages usually huge, I noticed this accidentally, and I haven't found a news about this on archlinux.org

    To solve this add a ! before debug on line 97 in /etc/makepkg.conf
