Yeah, the centralized nature of Rust’s dependency management always bugged me a bit. Of course there’s nothing stopping you from just pointing directly to the source code of crates in your Cargo.toml, and I think I will start doing that from now on. Adding better tooling for this would be great.

Windows disappearing is a hiccup while things adapt

I would argue it’s not. There’s still a lot of professional and industrial software that doesn’t run on Linux at all, even through Wine. I’ve had a glimpse into the world of industrial automation, there’s a bunch of devices that simply don’t have the drivers to run on anything but a specific (old) version of Windows. Supply chain issues would persist for decades.

That’s just not true. Most ATMs still run on Windows. There is a lot of industrial machinery running Windows 98 or XP to this day. A lot of POS devices too. Almost all accounting is done on Windows. The amount of chaos if it disappeared would be immense, it would probably be on the same order of magnitude as the last pandemic in terms of immediate economic impact as businesses have to manically switch to alternatives, and hundreds or thousands of people would die from financial chaos alone.

Linux is probably still worse because it would mean that more than half of smartphones are suddenly bricked, literally all of the internet just stops working, and a shitton of industrial automation stuff is gone.

It’s still super fucked up that you’re basically gifting some other person a sizeable chunk of your income just because they were able to put up a down payment and secure a mortgage. Landlords are rentseeking middlemen leaches that should not exist even by capitalist standards, see Adam Smith.

This is not misandry, in just the same way as having a woman antagonist in a story is not misogyny. There is no direct or implied generalization here, it just shows a single guy being an asshole. If you feel attacked by this comic, it’s time for some serious introspection.

The actual answer is “stop supporting US/israeli war effort”. The strait is already open for everyone who’s not helping the empire bomb Iranian schoolgirls

US was built on rail, and it was way less dense and urban back then. The problem is not how “compact” a country is, it’s simply a question of priorities and budgets. China and EU are investing in rail (to varying degrees), so they get rail with all its benefits. US is wasting more and more money on financially unsustainable car infrastructure, so it is getting failing car infrastructure.

The bigger story is that modern western societies still require most people to regularly interact with gasoline or diesel. If you think about it, regularly purchasing and burning toxic, polluting fossil juice just to get around is super fucked up.

Aaaand of course the first two repos on the Explore tab are NixOS-related

No (well, in theory it could work but I didn’t manage to set up 81voltd). Regular calls via 3G networks do work.

Well, you have to get one used :) It’s like 7 years old now

To be honest ATM I just copped out and I’m running Plasma Mobile (with some tweaks). I really wanna get used to sxmo but it just doesn’t click with me.

As for a tutorial, I think this is somewhat similar to what I’ve done: https://github.com/mwlaboratories/phoneputer

Except I also flashed an older version of OxygenOS with edl (https://codeberg.org/magdesign/sxmop6/wiki/EDL) to get GPS to work.

No, but regular calls (via 3G networks) work-ish; the only problem is that you can’t switch the audio output, i.e. hands-free calls are not a thing.

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.

I don’t see a single comment like this here tho? It’s either mocking him for his bigotry, wondering what the sport is, or mocking it as a rich-people-goofy-sport (which is still leagues away from “stay on the couch tard”).

And then maaybe stop defaming her? Like, this post should be ban worthy by any reasonable instance and community rules?

This is a shitpost community, I’m pretty sure it is implied that everything posted here is satirical and/or ironic and/or made up for fun. You wouldn’t sue The Onion for defamation either (or maybe you would, IDK)

None, sadly.
