@itsfoss it's that time when I found a bug and fixed it, and even got the fix accepted upstream. My one and only commit, removing one line of code! 😆 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3cac9104bea41099cf622091f0c0538bcb19050d

@docRekd then get a smartphone for which #LinuxMobile works, or help making it work for the phone you have. Don't let Google own you. Be free, and help others be free!

@lunareclipse @mcc I think that if there is a bank that requires Android, then that is a problem with that bank, its customers should request the bank to provide its services based on standards, not locked to certain operating systems. The bank should not decide which operating system you use. If banks behave like that, then those banks need to change. If you are the customer of such a bank, then tell them. "The customer is always right." 🙂

@agx @janvlug @devrtz maybe do this first:

killall chatty
killall chatty
... and then try the other thing again?

(at least at some point a few years ago I remember it being like that, that you needed to kill chatty twice because the first time it would get auto-restarted)

Anonymity is important.

This is a piece of news from Swedish public service radio today, about an org. protecting children's rights, it's called BRIS meaning "the rights of children in society". BRIS have received an increasing number of phone calls from children talking about crime, like kids being pressured by criminal gangs and such. They say that phone call anonymity is important for kids to dare to make the call.

Anonymity is important to reduce crime in society.

Looking forward to further arrests, like knife manufacturers being arrested for failure to prevent criminal use of knives, and car manufacturers being arrested for failure to prevent criminal use of cars. Oh wait, I'm pretty sure criminals also eat food, then we should arrest food producers as well, they should no longer get away with aiding criminals in this way. Plenty of people to arrest in this brave new world!

> I wish Android were actually open source

Why not leave Android behind and move over to #LinuxMobile with #phosh where you are free from Google? It's a breath of fresh air, already works great and gets better all the time. Easy to rebuild from source.

See @phosh @linmob #FreeSoftware

@paoloredaelli I guess they can decide whataver they want on work phones of their own employees, but it does seem silly.

> Telegram is a “safe haven for
> hackers, cybercriminals, and
> drug dealers,”

If the municipality has employees who are cybercriminals and drug dealers, then maybe they should stop hiring criminals.

I think banning something because "it can be used by criminals" is stupid, generally. Criminals breathe air, so air should be bammed? Criminals eat food, so food is bad too?

@stu all good, but almost bedtime here. You?

@beyondmachines1 I bet they hold their nose as well, until several lightyears away

@stu hi

@kurtseifried I might dual-boot or multi-boot, but Windows is not going to be one of the OSs.

Windows is malware, under no circumstances would I want that on my computer.

@sudaksis many times it's that a person I follow boosts a post by someone, then I see that and maybe I start following that someone.

@henrik jag fattar inte varför man ska skjuta ihjäl dem. Är det bara för att jägarna tycker det är kul?

@pettter tack

@praveen awesome!

@samuel ja det är väldigt bra om fler går från att tänka "alla måste vara på den här plattformen så det är inget att fundera över" till att istället tänka "borde jag vara på den här plattformen?", att de tänker tanken att det är ett val de gör och att det finns konsekvenser av det valet. Redan att de tänker tanken är väldigt bra jämfört med att inte ens reflektera över saken.

@nopatience I heard this discussed in this podcast https://www.monerotalk.live/live-at-defcon29-w-guillermo-christensen (from 2021) where they say one thing hindering the use of Monero for ransomware payments is a lack of liquidity, in other words difficulty to get hold of a very large amount of Monero in a short amount of time. No idea if that's true, and it might have changed since then. #monero
