@dave ...and the big reveal at the end of the show is that audiophile number 10 was actually a coin tossed in the air.

@mergesort IMO actual federation was never the true goal.
The initial point was (i think) to have enough content so that the timeline doesn't look like a ghost town when the first usets start trickle in. As Threads turned out to be at least somewhat popular and didn't suffer much of lack of […]

@mntmn are you sure the camera is supposed to work in device mode?
Or is it one of these abominations that predate standardization of OtG and shows up as a USB *host*?

Otherwise, they perhaps went the Nintendo Switch route: it could indeed a USB camera device but could be not properly […]

@WorldTravelerAll7 I second the idea to move to SailfishOS.

And the paid version even include a container running open-source Andoird (on which you can install microG if compatibility to Google is needed) so you can have access to *that* app that you cannot do without.
(e.g. In my case, all my […]

@Larvitz ...and you're lucky the only effect was random scrolling.

On Linux, you can copy-paste just by selecting and clicking (middle click to paset the last selection). That's how our daughter managed to write her first Python bug at 2 months old (she was sleeping on me and accidentally […]

@mntmn ...
(and currently, on my #sailfishos devices, I run Defender, which similarly blocks server names, but on the hostfile level instead. It similarly blocks lots of ads in Android apps running in the "ApoSupport" LXC container).

But these solutions only block access to servers (e.g. to Ads […]

@mntmn another approach that should gives similar results to the ad blocking feature of TripleU's built-in DNS, is apps that setup a mini pseudo-VPN that entirely runs on-device and also filters ad servers at the DNS level.

AdAway is an opensource example (available on Fdroid) that I had played […]

@TheZeldaZone in my experience it helped a bit.

(but my most successful mitigation was trying to get outdoor exercise, on the other side of the cloud layer. During my university years I became a ski instructor on weekends)

@briankrebs what surprises me is that it took so long until we found some "remove me from databrokers services" that were by the same people as "databroker services" themselves... 🤔

@vicgrinberg hapoens to me a lot, specially languages that I both speak and type often in (english and french).

@scott @hacks4pancakes > "know it was a lie" vs "believe what they say"

This assumes that they care about (or even know of) the concept of "True vs False" and are not merely saying whatever the fuck will get them what they crave at that moment (more money/power/attention - delete as appropriate)

@mntmn super cool!

@mntmn small implementation questions:
- you're using the built-in FEX translation layer that Steam is also using for the Frames? Or something else?
- Picture is fed back over PCIe and composited on screen by the RK3588? Or is there a way to feed back displayport video signals into the screen? […]
