An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is...

nintendiator ,

only half an hour

no information on the internet connection quality

Minetest I guess. Can't trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it's not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.

Until the creators of the content you need switch, it's one of if not the hub where the content is.

This would be easy to "solve" from the reader end if Nitter was still operational, but I haven't heard from the project or from any alternative in ages.

nintendiator ,

I see. That sucks.

nintendiator ,

I hate this recommendation because Matrix is just a terrible user experience.

Heck agree. In my experience, IRC is a much better alternative.

nintendiator ,

...isn't the good idea here to not enhance visibility of disinformation?

nintendiator ,

Damn, you got hit with a severe case of triple bad luck (machine, software and humanness).

As someone who thanks to you got reminded to look at their software backup settings, thanks for your sacrifice.

nintendiator ,

Are you kidding? #3 is the second most possible one of that set, it's just a matter of setting up Reproducible / Deterministic Builds.

If you can't replicate a result with control of the software version + the arts input + the randomness seed, then "something else is going on".

nintendiator ,

Tell me you don't understand the difference between human creative work and """AI""" work without telling me you don't understand the difference between human creative work and """AI""" work

nintendiator ,

That’s why it pays well.

Care to back it up with numbers? Because it's been like 4.6 Gy since I last saw a garbage disposal person or a plumber driving their SUV out of their 3-floor house.

nintendiator ,

The Mozilla / Brave options are barely that.

You mean "The Mozilla option". Brave is just Yet Another Chrome Reskin.

nintendiator ,

And using it also strengthens the monopoly of Google over the web.

nintendiator ,

Capitalism never chooses the best path, but neither does any other system. We haven’t invented a perfect system, and it’s probably impossible. Sounds like a strange critique since we’ll never reach perfection

Just because nothing is perfect doesn't mean we can't call out stuff for not being it. Sounds like a strange critique since we're supposed to improve on things.

nintendiator ,

And that guy can’t possibly make correct decisions every time.

Doesn't matter. What matters is that they make correct decisions oftener than before.

And the way to improve on it is clear: do more of that, with peer review.

Come on this is not news, this is how progress has worked in the last [checks smudgy writing] 4600 years.

nintendiator ,

File the required issues with those manufacturers then. Support for Linux is trivially easy to add compared to Microsoft: the kernel sources and stuff to create your modules are right there.

nintendiator ,

You mean, when your games get around to supporting Linux, right? File the required issues with those manufacturers.

nintendiator ,

iAnal, now that'd get the Apple fanboys going.

nintendiator ,

Yeah it's absolutely disgusting and disappointing that it's 2024 and people still try to code into the kernel in such a sucky and absolutely moronic way that they have to get set straight by The Linus.

nintendiator ,

Of course it's possible. It's also possible to not criticize people's code at all and just accept whatever code that barges in.

It's all situational. This is a "Linus retort" situation.

nintendiator ,

Of all the things I expected to enshittify during 2024 I certainly didn't expect we'd start with the Pi.

nintendiator ,

So, at this point, if you’re not a techy, where can you still publicly post information? TikTok, I think?

TikTok or any such other crap is not publicly.

It takes like, $0 and a cup of coffee at most to start a simple page in neocities for a simple announcement. Heck, in the absolutely simplest cases available you can literally upload your own announcement (a picture, a PDF or smth) to ufile.io and just pass around the link to that.

nintendiator ,

You keep parroting this to try and distract people from walked, tried, tested History. As in, actual steps that happened. And asking to be "explained" how History happened. That's called sealioning.
