Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

trevor,

This is really cool! Do you have a rough timeline for Firefox support?

Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?

I’m playing with a couple of routers and comparing proprietary to open source on the same hardware. I miss my .bashrc functions and aliases… and compgen, tree, manpages, detailed help, etc; the little things that get annoying when they are missing....

People with PhDs in Vim will laugh at this, but I sometimes connect to remote systems through VS Code SSH connections when I’m working on a project with multiple files on a remote system.

    trevor,

    I have the reMarkable 2. It ships with real Linux and has full SSH and root access. It’s an awesome, hackable device.

    The only annoying thing about it is that I tend to have to use PDFs instead of EPUBs because it lags to hell when rendering them for some reason.

    trevor,

    From personal experience: if you’re trying to dual-boot with Windows, I recommend using completely separate drives (rather than separate partitions). Windows is very shitty about overwriting your Linux boot partitions when it updates. Having a separate drive isn’t fool-proof, but it helps.

    I haven’t needed Windows in >10 years though, so maybe it’s not as shitty about that, but I recommend caution.

    trevor,

    I’m getting “Android Gingerbread on an HTC EVO” vibes, which is not a bad thing. It stands out, in a good way.

    trevor,

    I remember a time when we all liked bobs and vagene.

    trevor,

    Tell that to my eyes when your application only has a blinding light mode. Theming is an accessibility feature and should be prioritized as such.

    It’s 2023. Every application should have a theme engine built-in. If not, that’s on the dev. Let’s not make a movement out of a lack of interest in providing support for accessibility.

    Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

    Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

    trevor,

    You can root on GrapheneOS. You do it exactly the same way you’d do it for the stock Google ROM:

    1. Have an unlocked bootloader. Yes, this means that it “”“defeats the purpose of GrapheneOS”“”, if the purpose of GrapheneOS isn’t for you to avoid Google’s privacy nightmare. I use GrapheneOS for privacy moreso than security, and not being able to block ads properly is irritating.
    2. Install the Magisk app.
    3. Extract the boot.img from the GrapheneOS image and patch within Magisk.
    4. Flash the patched boot image in the bootloader.

    The main annoyance with this is that you’ll have to do that dance every month when a security patch gets released, but for me, it’s better than vomiting from exposure to ads on mobile.
