Fixing can be more fun, constructive, and even fast. That’s also worth a try.

But absolutely have backups, test those backups(!) and be ready to burn down any system when the time comes.

Sudo run, wearing Unix socks.

Up to each one to decide, really. Fw had really interesting products and seem to treat Linux as a first class citizen.

The CEOs non-answer and amazingly loud continuing support to a pointless script by a known problem developer is weird and unfortunate. Monetarily small, but visually loud, as these things tend to be.

A kind of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well tactic that seems to be common in the comments. Some accounts seem to constantly be labelling all of Lemmy as this or that extremist thing.

The expression “A distinction without a difference” comes to mind.

It’s Microsoft malware. Do you really think the user needs to enable it?

Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to make coffee.

For me, it’s the Bergs. Bööörk.

You already had it. They pretended to have an election and then they slowly dismantle the remains of a pretend democracy while the dictatorship/oligarchy continues. You don’t wave banners or do any big loud moves and there’s minimum resistance. Hell, you can even have a little concentration camps and death squads as a treat.

Just like there’s been WWIII going on in Europe for years now with minimal resistance outside the immediate warzones.

And there’s been several country wide invasions in recent decades. A bit of news for a while, but as long as you don’t put up new flags, they’re forgotten about after a few years as businesses get going again.

I was always a burrower when a bit of extra wall on top. Kind of dreamed of being more mason.

Me too. It’s beautiful. It’s amazingly beautiful and interesting and kind of simple. But I hate twitchy platforming and being thrown back a long way because of a tiny mistake or ten every time.

Yes, for some values of dumb. New ones? I don’t know. But many older ones have no connectivity at least.

https://librervac.org/Supported_Devices might be a good start (and maybe even end).

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

As an engineer, no we don’t have to and usually don’t (get to) say that.

Everything generally is.

Better late than never.

Aren’t all names made up?

They all use the base package from the chipset vendor. It only supports android and only for a given number of years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the license was massively invasive.

Basically, there’s no drivers and no documentation for most mobile hardware outside of manufacturer contracts.

Which is actually better.
