@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I'm on the verge of getting a SPI flasher to disarm Intel ME in my HP laptop. Porting something sounds like putting too much effort in it and I'm lazy 😩

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @dushman @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @cyberspook Why everyone hates Electron-based apps then? 😏

@dushman @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook You can't get rid of Google bloat completely because a lot of stuff won't work without WebView. Replacing Google's implementation with Bromite is probably the best you can do at the moment. Mozilla tried to make WebView based on Gecko, but they've given up long time ago.

@inference @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @cyberspook @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @dushman You won't need Android app sandboxing in you've got no Android apps 😅

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org You could do the same with jailbroken iPhone — install terminal from Cydia repo, install Darwin userspace. Here we go! 🤷
It's even better, because Android doesn't have "normal" user space I think and uses something like busybox.
But yes, despite that you can run ffmpeg in termux like you normally would.

@amerika @LukeAlmighty …and happens to have a dick just when you need one 🤣

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @MischievousTomato @david Ha-ha, so you're just like that compiler guy!
But at least you could run Witcher 3 and ride a horse 🐎
Move it, Roach!

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @MischievousTomato @david That's odd. Should have worked without a hitch I think 🤔
Even 2011 MBPs booted in EFI mode with minor issues.

@david @iska@mstdn.starnix.network Maybe he wanted to play Witcher 3 on it. Or something… 😅

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @MischievousTomato @david Didn't work well on old Macs because Apple's EFI wasn't up to UEFI spec. You had to use BootCamp (BIOS emulation). It shouldn't be a problem with newer models.

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be Pretty much! I knew that once I start hanging around Fedi it would take a lot of my free time away.
Now I see I was 100% on point 😂

@p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be @lanodan Aah, doen't matter. I gave up. I ended up running it on ARM machine that I can ssh to.

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be All of this started as a discussion of an article about some browser shit. How did we get here? 😄

@dushman Is it shaped like Android mascot is using its hand to cover mouth? 😮

@p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be @lanodan It does. There is no reference toolchain for 32-bit PPC and there are some issues building gcc-go. I don't remember all the details now, but there are some header issues. Like some register structs are real structs in glibc, but macros in musl something like that.
No, I'm pretty sure it can be done, but requires more looking into. This is definitely far from being the "easy" solution so I just said that it's not there 😅

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be I see. I thought you might find it useful if it can run on a burner device 😏

@lanodan @p @jessica@mk.absturztau.be
>Element, the only actual client
gomuks is a pretty good console client if you need IM only and you are on a platform that has go toolchain (e.g. if you are on PowerPC MUSL system you're out of luck).
It supports E2EE and all that, but of course no voice calls.

@lanodan @p I started doing this a couple of years before all this COVID shit broke loose and kept doing it throughout the pandemic.
Because I was afraid that using alcohol to clean my phone too often might ruin its case 🤭

@colinsmatt11 @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook Like for posting cat pics? 😹
