You mean NixOS? Well, it’s definitely not as polished as pmOS, but most things do work. My gf is using it as an LTE-enabled music player, and I’m using it to ssh into my servers when I’m out and about.

It required some hackery to get GPS and the modem to work, but then it’s mostly similar to pmOS. I need to find some time to sit down, clean up my config and publish it somewhere, but life’s main quest line is preventing any side projects rn.

If you can get it for not too much money, I’d definitely spring for it. Even if you find it doesn’t suit your daily needs (it probably doesn’t just yet), it will at least be a fun toy for playing with mobile linux.

OnePlus 6 + PostmarketOS (I run NixOS on mine but I’m weird). Seriously.

Ok, so the first two sound reasonable, but blabbering about “non-retroactivity” and being against reparations is fucking pathetic. Imagine taking that legal position during Nuremberg.

This seems to be an opt-in, user-supplied field that apps can use to implement parental controls easier. If you’re gonna do birth dates at all, this is the way.

But IMO it should be more granular: there should be fields for WWW access, social media access, sex/nudity/violent content, and apps should respect those individually. Then parents can choose what is appropriate for their child at their development level.

You know that you can just get a visa, go there, and talk to people there, right? Or watch many of the interviews from reporters (western or otherwise) who went there already. It’s not like NK where you can only visit certain pre-approved areas with a “tour guide” either, in Cuba you can go whenever you want (within reason) and talk to whomever you want.

US is a similar style of “democracy” to modern-day russia, in that despite there being elections, whoever ordinary people vote for they are still fucked and the oligarchs get all the money and power. It’s just that the US political system achieves the same goals with a slightly more sophisticated machinery of “two parties” serving the same interests, which is enough to fool many people into believing they have a meaningful choice.

I mean, it is some carbrain propaganda that aligned with the government-approved destruction of walkable cities and public transit. Soo it is kind to a hymn to enshittification in its own way.

Don’t forget the Ukraine war and the ongoing social, health and economic consequences of the pandemic.

Trump is a dumb, racist, idiotic pile of pedophile shit, but US wasn’t doing great before him either.

You’re about 2 weeks too late for that, US&Israel have committed multiple war crimes already.

This is a really naive take - this amendment (which requires message scanning to be targeted) passed with a slim majority and could well have failed. In that case the existing mass surveillance (“voluntary scanning”) would probably keep happening at least until 2028.

The council meanwhile is overwhelmingly pro-message-scanning, and they (together with the commission) are the ones who are pushing to break e2e encryption. There will now be talks between the three institutions to decide on how to proceed. Sadly I expect that some “compromise” will be reached eventually.

I get your point, but if you actually go out and speak with women who trust you, chances are they will all have multiple stories of harassment and/or SA that will make your skin crawl. It’s not just fearmongering, there are a lot of awful men out there (in absolute terms)

I’m surprised how many (well-meaning) men are clueless about this horrible aspect of life which is so universal for women.

No idea :) I’m not familiar enough with the Iranian/Persian culture to even make a guess.

On this particular front Europe is doing OK as well, but it definitely needs to build more, faster, and now. And to do that it needs to build more ties with China. Honestly looking at the (lack of) EU response over the latest US war crimes I’m not holding my breath here.

I don’t know the language at all but I can “read” the script, and they are quite different. The first one is like “Khomenee”, the second is like “Khaamenae’i”

Felipe VI of Spain can (constitutionally) do the funniest thing right now.

That said, everyone on this planet needs to be building renewables, grid storage, bike lanes and railways ASAP to shake off oil dependency.

That’s what Xi keeps repeating, that reunification is only possible by continuously strengthening economic, cultural and even political ties. Western media keeps trying to claim he wants to “take Taiwan by force” but there’s never a source, it’s always “read between the lines” of his speeches.

I think the correct term is not “insisted on provoking” but “started”. Dropping bombs on primary schools and city centers is not a provocation, it is an act of aggressive criminal war

Good, let the nutjobs fight

That list is missing like 50 countries that the US has majorly fucked up for money/oil/power in the last half century, do they not get a pass?

It’s not the fault of consumers, monopolization and price fixing are inevitable outcomes of capitalism. Even if people somehow weren’t attracted by lower prices, amazon would do all sorts of shenanigans to drive competition out of business or agree with them to fix prices.
