Sure, Apple users see the logo less than those who use it. But tell yourself whatever makes you sleep at night.

Could be cool to support it for lineageos. GrapheneOS is limited to a single brand and there are many brands in India and around the world which will be forced by the Indian government to install that spyware.

Will it involve coming in contact with the owner of the social media accounts? Because that dude is way too agro.

A few Euros vs 600 is quite a difference.

Can lineage do that now? 😮 That would be great! There are so many cheap phones that lineage supports, it would make it very affordable for people in India to make a large step towards degoogling!

If only there were a simple easy to flash ROMs onto phones that normies could do. Just plug it into a computer, run a program, follow instructions and have lineage is or so on it.

The Netherlands has been so pro USA for years, they will do anything the US tells them and they will use any trendy tech that comes from there. One single local government in the Netherlands doesn’t rely on us infrastructure. The Dutch tax office decided to sign a deal with Microsoft this year after all the talk about sovereignty.

The US told the dutch government to stop ASML from selling their lithography machines to China and the the Netherlands just bowed down and kissed their toes. ASML was forced to exclude China. The US said “no more Huawei only USA” and the Netherlands reported it as “Huawei is evil, we must trust USA”.

The Netherlands even has a healthcare system with deductibles (not the entire thing is like the US healthcare system luckily).

If the US said “Netherlands, become the 51rst state” there’d be a countrywide celebration.

Dutch government shows interest in Forgejo

The Dutch government has expressed interest in using Forgejo for its national code platform. Currently, they rely on GitHub, but they are looking for alternatives for storing, collaborating and building government code. This is part of the Open Source Program Office (OSPo)‘s efforts to regain digital sovereignty. Throughout the month, a call also took place between a representative from the office and some Forgejo contributors.

Moreover, it is pleasing to hear that the office expressed interest in exploring ways to contribute back to the project.

Now this, this I like. If the dutch government also invests in federation, that would be amazing. First they have to tie the knot of course…

It really pisses me off when something doesn’t work and the first thing someone says is “must be Linux”. Bro, I moved away from Windows because of all the bugs there. Don’t try to bullshit me into thinking you live a bugfree life.

My system is as fast as when I first got it (minus maybe the extra bloat websites have acquired due to bugger JS libraries and unnecessarily big assets). On windows reinstalling every year or every second year was normal.

One of the horror scenarios could be AI gaining intelligence and access to biomedical capabilities and producing a virus that modifies us or our DNA. Of course if it gained access to a high-tech label capable of making nanobots, that would maybe even worse.

Waydroid is GPLv3 and that’s great. Hopefully contributions will be upstreamed. Waydroid, Wine, FEX… Valve is contributing to great things!

Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how “dead” that is.

It won’t be interoperable with anything people use, making it only theoretically interoperable. Wake me up once I can use it with Jami or Matrix.

That’s a good question I dont have an answer to. Maybe there are ways to short where you can just hold, but I dont know how. Maybe there’s a way to borrow lots of RAM and GPUs, sell them, then buy them back when the price drops and sell them for cheap back to whom you borrowed. But I dont know who would make that deal.

Same thing happening to me @aeharding@lemmy.world. Thought it was a fluke and that the recent update would fix it but it just happened again after the update.

Latest version from f-droid (2.41.0) on eOS 3.2-a15-20251022539003 (android 15).

Please be a nice bubble and pop soon, AI.

I do think it is, but only if you dive into what the services and modules do, or if you create some yourself. Most packages are created for mainstream distros and you will have to adapt how they work to nixos’s mode of working. In doing so, you will learn - at least I have.

I know more about systemd, kde’s configuration, bash, opengl, library paths, and more because of having to go through the pain of making it work ok nix/nixos.

It is arguably also quite valuable to see how something is done in nixos as a kind of documentation in code for how to configure other software. Where changing an option’s value in nixos kicks of a bunch of things, on other systems you have to either trust that the package has scripts to do that, or imperatively do those steps yourself.

The skills seem quite transferable to me, IMHO.
