  • The Pixel 10 series’ launch was at basically the same time as the release of Android 16, so they used a more-custom-than-normal android branch to get things working. That means that people haven’t been able to get Pixel 10s booting on any regular AOSP images. GrapheneOS is kind of just stuck waiting until Google pushes the QPR1 update to AOSP.


  • Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

    Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

    Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/


  • Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

    Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.


  • In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”

    They haven’t released Android 16 QPR1 to AOSP yet, even though it came out on Pixels at the beginning of September. Normally the gap is ~1-2 days.

    So yeah, a lot of custom rom devs are pretty bleak right now and honestly their concerns are pretty warranted given that it’s Google we’re talking about.





  • That’s the thing though. If I’m going to need to be on-call tech support then Linux isn’t actually a better option then Windows. Sure it would be more private and less sucky but if the computer doesn’t actually work then that doesn’t mean anything. I’m willing to make ad-hoc workarounds to my own problems because I’m a software developer and don’t mind falling down a rabbit hole to get something like push-to-talk working with a custom pipewire script. My friends who want to play games and relax when they get home from work are understandably not willing to go through that hassle.

    I’d love for Linux to be ready for daily driving but for most people I know it just isn’t. Maybe when Wayland desktops are more mature but I’m not going to make people choose between functioning shortcuts (X11) and functioning monitors (Wayland).








  • I think there is more evidence pointing to it being the runner’s cartridge or N64 having a hardware fault that caused it to happen. If I’m remembering correctly the runner said they had to frequently reset their runs because their game would crash for no specific reason, and they would reinsert or adjust the cartridge to get it working again.
