Nice replacement topic after the maintainer drama last week

I agree with the person you’re replying to in the sense that Linus’s decision is OK, but the delivery could be less “idiotic”. This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold “Yes we have some things happening. Can’t tell more for now” would’ve been fine.

I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I’m Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it’s just so childish from Linus.

Did you know that if you use the “transfer data from my old phone to the new phone” thing, only the apps installed from Google Play will be carried over? That is, FDroid apps and their data will be lost.

Man I hate how I barely ever buy anything, makes it impossible to boycott any company

Remote work is a lie made up by big white collar to sell less jeans for mining

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP’s that’d be running OpenWRT wouldn’t be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you’re asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you’d run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

• https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/
• https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_standard_all?dataflt[Device+Type*~]=Switch

That way you’d have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you’d always be working with the same system.

My god does anybody else downvote an article if it’s blatant clickbait? How does it have 520 score? You were supposed to be better than r**dit remember?

Best search meta is “searchterm -reddit +forum” anyway

Seconded. When walking around my 60s neighbourhood in Poland I can clearly see that someone sat down and planned how the neighbourhood is going to look, i.e. where there will be a store, where a kindergarten and where a school. Not to mention a huge swath of lawn with playgrounds in the middle of the buildings for the ultimate flex.

Opposite of “ok we’ll sell the land and the free market will figure it out”.

Orgzly Revived on Android, if you’re into emacs org mode. Can sync over git, webdav and dropbox. Probably syncthing too. Samba over Android file protocol with Material Design sadly doesn’t work.

On PC just edit the same org mode notes as in Orgzly, but with Emacs.

To me as a layman it immediately brings up a connection to feminism. I don’t think that anybody who will want to get men to think different will get very far using the word “patriarchy”, given men being more right leaning.

There isn’t much substance to my argument than “nuh uh I don’t like that word” but it is what it is. There must be some better approach “marketing wise”, despite patriarchy being technically correct.

Men retire 5 years later than women there as well.

My god maybe that “open source games” lemmy community got one thing right

It’s just a joke how e.g. tf2 players beg a megacorp to fix their game every year now. I like tf2 but the power dynamic between the publisher and the player is crazy

This is not about the smart tv tizen, no? I see the article talks about smartwatches. The naming on Samsung’s side is confusing.

FWIW I recently stopped using the extension due to large resource usage - especially painful if you have many tabs open and FF opens many processes for each container tab, eating up more RAM. I just use FF Nightly for personal stuff and regular FF for work.

For context, the part where they talk about AI:

We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox – which many, many of you have been asking about – in the same way. We’re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.

We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models – i.e., more private – to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities.

I mean, this is not “slapping an LLM on top of the software and calling it AI”, it’s integrating it into the browser in usable ways.

One usage of a local model is the local translation feature which was … kinda nice? Not having to go online to translate? Pretty cool right?

This is similar here with the alt text, seems like a force for good?

Feels like they’re fulfilling what they said in the first paragraph of the quote.

For one soon HMD/Nokia will come out with a new Nokia 3310 as the first dumbphone with 5G

Mumble is super popular with EVE Online players still, no? Because of the support for a large number of users in a single room
