I wonder why are there not a lot of custom ROMs for Sony Xperia phones on XDA Developers forums?
Looks like Sony provides the bootloader unlock codes and sources required to build AOSP for their devices 🤷

Specs of this to be released phone look amazing and it still has a headphone jack and SD card slot, but using stock ROM with all that Google bullshit sounds scary.

Можно продать, если они коллекционные и редкие.

@mjdxp Taking into account what a clusterfsck modern web is, I think it would actually be beneficial to go with some binary format for web pages — look at average page's source: it's not human readable at all, formatting is sacrificed for loading speed, then some js framework gets thrown in, which is once again crippled to have smaller size, and then it gets compiled into machine code by v8. What's the point in having intermediate "human-readable" format if it's not human readable? 🤨

I'm with you on this. It's not like they are promoting Matrix or Element as a tool of surveillance by partaking in this event, they are promoting it as a tool to be used by police just like everyone else does, but I still don't like this. Just by association.
This alone is not enough for me to stop using M/E of course, maybe as something to consider as having impact on future decisions.

@theorytoe Prioritizing helps a lot. Sometimes outright ignoring new short term stuff if you can do something that can help you not deal with short term stuff anymore or do it faster is beneficial.
Sometimes you have to tell people to fsck off to be able to do it and it often pisses them off, but… life's unfair, it's not like their house is on fire, except for when it is 😏

@atomicpoet
Also $1 per minute for "dating" a chat bot sounds like an awful deal 🤨

Whoah, this looks like a very minimalist Fedi software with Gemini and Gopher frontends: github.com/dimkr/tootik
According to description, it's not fully ActivityPub compliant, but Gemini frontend and overall minimalism looks attractive.

What distro did you use with that G5, also Gentoo?

No, forcing everyone to use those Manifest v3 extensions definitely had nothing to do with getting rid of ad blockers, lol 🤣

uBO and Firefox still work for me though, although I'm not sure which extension blocks the ads for me: uBO or Enhancer for YT🤔

Yet again, I love books (linear), I like games (should offer multiple choice, ideally infinite) — what's the comprimise for story-driven games? That's the area I think LLMs should be applied to — go to the city, have it your way, live your boring NN-generated life, or… you can find your fate and live through the life the script writer had prepared for you.

>Maybe I'm just old and crusty and out of touch, or it could just be...
Sure, same holds for me. But I'm more optimistic about it, like: Whoah, it's now possible for me to see beyond the tunnel I'm allowed to operate in, maybe there would be a way for me to walk all the streets and live my own life?

> In Stray for example it would be pretty hard to get lost, because there's really only one way to go, but there are definitely games where I've gotten lost immediately.
Exactly! Having too much freedom so you might get lost isn't what most would expect from a cute cat (pushing objects from shelves) game 😹
I think we just didn't have such luxury with early Tomb Raider games — caverns are hardly a city, but we had tech limitations to justify it 🤷

@stereo I have managed to make Nitter work though. Mostly by using native libraries, nim modules had issues with bit shift operations not working the way they are supposed to. That was a cheat, but that's the main difference between legacy architectures and current ones — with former ones you can exploit the past porting efforts, with current ones you can do a lot of work yourself, but can get help from community 😄

@stereo Unfortunately, Go on PPC is a no go — there is no reference toolchain, and although I have managed to build gcc-go, most modules don't support this arch. Rust works, but, of course, with a lot of caveats. I'm in the process of getting libreddit work, it has ring crate among its dependencies — cryptography is of course tricky with lots of low-level stuff, I have managed to make IBM's port to ppc64 build, but even tests don't pass, something's to do with endian-ness I guess 😩
