@FloatingGhost Dear Sir, with all due respect, your daughter is really fucking high on drugs!

@a1ba The "between Scylla and Charybdis" moment 😹

@coolboymew Normie-Cirlou gets no love 😭

@arcade I don't have any problems with obscene language, but I still prefer to use "fsck" instead of "fuck" because…
Try using e2fsck now without laughing 😂
I think I've seen it somewhere and started using it too.

@milofultz Yes, you can get used to anything. But it's better to use what you are comfortable with, especially if you can afford it😄
And of course, free software will never enjoy the level of uniformity commercial software has, because everyone implements features as one sees fit, there is no one who has a central vision of how to do things. It's an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. So certain amount of "Who could ever come up with this?!" moments is inevitable.

@milofultz @neauoire I believe it's like this because people who use image editors have some habits acquired from software they previously used.
I don't edit images that often so I don't have such habits and at least GIMP's menu structure seems intuitive to me. I agree though, the shortcuts are a mess. I also have old Photoshop CS2 and sometimes it takes a couple of seconds for me to find what I want in the menu.

@hideki Looks legit!
No face seen, definitely a hacker.

@neauoire Just call them ben and prush instead — now it's easy to remember 😆

@inference @iska@mstdn.starnix.network Pardon me if it was inappropriate to ask. I got this idea from browsing your posts.
Get well soon!

>I was taken to hospital yesterday
Is this vaccination-related?

@ta180m At least it can't be lower than the absolute zero! That would be something 😆

@inference Yes, most probably.
So stock Android is even more limited 😮
Nice to have this "killer feature"!

@inference Oh, maybe not stock Android 😅
I'm using something called Arrow OS. AFAIK it's AOSP-based.
It has permissions like this. Is it the same, what do you think?

@inference @somegirlprivacy@fosstodon.org @thebiologist1117 Is this any different from stock Android "Allow network access"?

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network It wasn't easy to even get Windows running on it. Windows 10 Mobile was 32-bit so you coudn't use any drivers from it. It was pure luck that someone found an engineering device similar to this one that had 64-bit Windows, so they could reverse engineer some drivers. Some devices still don't work, like cameras.
It would take crazy amount of work to get the same level of hardware support with Linux.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Oh, BTW this support for this GPU is so bad that it is blacklisted in Firefox for HW decoding. Even in Windows it causes random reboots on decoding video. It's very rare, but it happens.
2d accel shoudn't be this complex, but still the "all these years" argument doesn't hold — if the device isn't popular enough there is no one to fix it.

@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network
This cat is at it again, wants me to do some kernel shit (!) to make Linux work on a 7 year old phone (!).

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Look here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
This page lists hundreds of devices. And it's, in theory, possible to make each and every one of them work well. But that isn't the case because no one is willing to invest their time in it.
If you want a phone that can run Linux in a usable way, just get one. Why not? 🤷

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network That is a very sane thing to assume if this device wasn't designed with linux in mind.
I don't get where are we going with this? Okay, maybe you can spend some time on it and get the freedreno shit working, maybe you can spend a shit-ton of time to reverse engineer and make a proper device tree… To do what, get other OS running on a seven year old phone? Just get a PinePhone, it's like $200 — it will cost less than your time spent on making it work.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @Suiseiseki Sure! And scrolling looks like you are doing it over VNC and a dial-up modem connection. It can be fun if wireless network happens to work. And you need some USB device to operate it! Advantages: doesn't run Windows.
That's some nice gadget you've got there! I'm sure you can get a lot of heads turning if you take it outside 🤣
