I see you stalking me. If I don’t respond, I may have a content filter on your instance, or you have been blocked. Sorey!

I saw a 1998 corolla for sale on the street for $5000. The basic buy-in for anything these days it insane. This “market rate” shit needs to die.

Your mom probably can’t read code well enough to know if it is malicious. Hell, I bet you can’t either. And I know you didn’t audit every line down to your kernel. So you can play that snarky card if you want, but know that you look like a dolt.

I doubt they have those metrics verified by an unbiased and qualified party.

VMware, because they are bringing sales in house to make more money. Cutting out the middle man.

Really wish we had a third viable option from a company who wasn’t evil. Year of the Linux phone anyone? 😇

I think the only one who could have actually competed was BlackBerry—properly managed. They already had the business market. If they had just kept pace with Android, they could have had a really solid footing.

Also, and to a far lesser extent, FirefoxOS. I could go on and on about how much better PWAs are for most apps. And because they’re so easy to make, they really could have grabbed a lot of the hobby market.

I had mentioned Firefox OS, now Capyloon. It’s basically PWAs, which would be so easy to make because they just use web technologies

Okay Chrome lovers, talk yourself out of this one…

Ahh yes, the good ole, “you don’t have a choice” nonsense. 😉

I think what people are complaining about is that Google itself is tracking you. Not just with cookies, but with the chrome browser. Everything you do goes back to Google, regardless of their silly Google analytics, JavaScript tag that people block.

Just like I woke up, but it was probably there for a while.

Regarding documentation… I mean, it’s Google… C’mon. I’m sure there’s lots of stuff about them spying with minimal searching (don’t use Google.com though, hahaha)

I’m all down to chat with ai about my code, but giving it direct access AND agreeing to let it harvest? Nahhhh

Too bad “national security” could also mean “got an abortion”

A man in a tower with a spy glass who can remember every location and identity of every person they see. Yeah, they’d eat that shit up.

Be sure not to import any malware.

The same can be said about any binary as well.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, the binary downloaded from an open source project might be different from the binary compiled on your own computer, even if they are from the same source code. Here are a few reasons why this can happen:

  1. Compiler Differences: Different compilers or different versions of the same compiler can produce binaries with variations in performance and size.

  2. Build Environment: The environment in which the binary is compiled, including the operating system and its version, libraries, and other dependencies, can affect the outcome.

  3. Configuration Options: Most open source projects have various configuration options which can be enabled or disabled during the build process. The pre-compiled binaries might have a different set of configurations compared to what you choose when compiling it yourself.

  4. Optimization Levels: Compilers have different optimization levels and settings. The binary provided by the project may be optimized for general compatibility, while you might compile with optimizations specific to your hardware.

  5. Patches or Modifications: The official binary might include patches or modifications that are not present in the source code you downloaded, especially if it's from a different branch or a snapshot of the repository at a different time.

  6. Reproducible Builds: Some projects aim for reproducible builds, where the same source code should generate an identical binary, but this is a challenging goal and not all projects achieve it.

Always ensure that you trust the source of any pre-compiled binaries, as they could potentially include malicious code not present in the source.

I really wish another viable mobile OS would come out. I don’t want android and apple iOS is wearing thin on me.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

I’m not going to criticize the project, because it’s good. But, to me, using anything that gives Google an edge in controlling the direction of technology is bad. So, no Chromium products and no Android.

What can android do that you actually do that iOS cannot?

You mean locally or for ssh?

What sort of things do you want to do locally on your phone that you need the command line for?

Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...
