4 days agoOh sweet! a question then for you: can you explain what the FairPhone is missing in terms of security? Do you maybe have notes comparing it to the Pixel? As a security layman, I’m curious.

Why can’t you run your own OS anymore? You don’t have to buy a Pixel. This news is about Pixel phones, one of the many many many Android phones…
You heard stuff? What stuff specifically? Care to elaborate and provide sources?
Isn’t SailFish a Russian outfit? Also, every time I’ve looked at their phones, they were either sold out or somehow unavailable. Are they still active?
Get a FairPhone with /e/OS. Give money to people who actually want to see an open ecosystem, not lock it down.

We’re not 20 years in the past, old man.
What is a “kernel” in this context? It doesn’t seem to be related to the OS kernel but some kind of graphics kernel? Whatever that is…

LOL. Let me guess “just use Emacs/vim”?
No thank you bruv. Been there, done that. Terrible experience.

All of these emulated only a fraction of the power of IDEs, even after weeks of trying to get them configured properly.
Inb4 “you’re doing it wrong”. Nah mate, IDEs work out of the box and don’t require opening a text file to change settings while going through reams of documentation.
I right click in a file and it shows me the most important contextual commands. No need to find the " leader key", scroll through all the 1 billion commands, I don’t have to “download a LSP and DAP” then “configure treesitter” or whatever the fuck kind of apes are in the editor.
Those editors have steep learning curves and get you productive eventually. IDEs get you there much more quickly. Yeah yeah, they hide complexity and “people don’t know what’s actually going on anymore” but sometimes I just want to get going instead of fighting my editor first. Feel me?
Meanwhile: vim and Emacs users, constantly installing and configuring plugins to emulate a fraction of the power of IDEs, go “just use vim/Emacs”.
Did they resolve their issue with that other company? I can’t remember what was going on but the owner of automattic was pissed about them not contributing back or something? Did something change?
Anything built on top of atproto I tend to distrust. Doesn’t it all hinge upon the makers of bluesky hosting their central node for it to work?
EDIT: It does work. My (GNU) libc spits out version info when executed as an executable.
How does that work? There must be something above

Python seems to expose it because a file can be a library and an executable at the same time.
Can someone explain to me how to compile a C library with “main” and a program with main? How does executing a program actually work? It has an executable flag, but what actually happens in the OS when it encounters a file with an executable file? How does it know to execute “main”? Is it possible to have a library that can be called and also executed like a program?
2·25 days agoI’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
I honestly don’t understand how this protocol can protect anything HTTP+HTML wouldn’t. If you build a browser that supports modern web technologies using Gemini, we’ll be back at the same spot. The only thing saving the protocol is its relative obscurity. A decicated and knowledgeable Dev could abuse it any way they like, no?
