+1. At the end of the day, this boils down to a more general problem of conveying state/data to the player (though maybe I should concede it now arises in the new dimension describ…

I don't buy it. To me, it'd be like hearing them say "we've never seen spam/scam phone call campaigns before!" This loses all believability, given the fact that i can reliably go o…

+1. I recently picked up a secondhand Framework, and, after almost 15 years of holding out with Mint + MATE, berated myself for resisting change and put in an unreasonable amount o…

Want to follow up for anyone possibly taking ideas from my post (though I've already put in an order on an un-registerable Oasis) -- if I had a bigger budget, the Boox Go 7 (2nd ge…

Always had my eye on the Oasis line. There's something about the apparent ergonomics that look precisely like what I've always wanted in an e-reader but just isn't there in any oth…

"or use these devices in any way"? My jailbroken Kindle has been sitting in a drawer for a while, but I do go into phases where I am using it heavily for months at a time. But, wha…

It's not just you. I experience the same thing. It is thoroughly maddening.

Ah yes, I'm pretty sure developer mode is required. My banking app works for logging in to check account balances, even despite having a rooted device. Though, I have not set up an…

Another nifty utility to use in tandem is scrcpy[0]. Inside or outside of Termux, it allows you to interact with your android device in general from the comfort of your main comput…

Right! That, or I otherwise encounter some kind of asymmetry where one side, whether it is a client or server, implements/requires speaking TLS whereas the otherside isn't readily …

Yes. I remember starting this book back in college and rolling my eyes at this scene for being so campy and tacky that I just dropped the book. I came back to it just a few weeks a…

Generation 7. I realize you acknowledged the hardware age, but it's really the difference in my own workflows and experience. I'm still on a Gen 8 i7 (with 40 GB RAM, to boot) T480…

absolutely, i get this. i assume it's going to be a relatively small subset that go open in order to jump to an open platform. i'm not super familiar with the f-droid publishing ec…

Hmm, does this mean that large swaths of people publishing apps are going to flock to distribution platforms like f-droid? (Yikes)
