3·4 days agoAnd now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.
I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don’t we stream raw camera feeds?
I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?
Isn’t Gemini a transport protocol? It can transport binary data and text data. Wouldn’t it be easy to send JavaScript? If there’s a browser on the other end that supports JavaScript, it can be executed.
But setting up even a simple HTTP server is a lot of work.
How so?
python3 - m http.serverand you’re done. The text can be read even by CLI browsers that don’t depend on javascript. Or do you have some other scenario in mind? Does Gemini support SSL?
I honestly don’t understand how this protocol can protect anything HTTP+HTML wouldn’t. If you build a browser that supports modern web technologies using Gemini, we’ll be back at the same spot. The only thing saving the protocol is its relative obscurity. A decicated and knowledgeable Dev could abuse it any way they like, no?
3·19 days agoOh sweet! a question then for you: can you explain what the FairPhone is missing in terms of security? Do you maybe have notes comparing it to the Pixel? As a security layman, I’m curious.
61·20 days agoHopefully this also means monetary investment in open source, not just open source usage without a support contract or contributing back. Matrix is a great example of an open source project that is being used by governments but struggling to get paid because governments are employing their own support staff and making internal forks.
But the more governments, agencies and individuals switch, there greater the chance they’ll pay the developers and maintainers for support or features.
Why can’t you run your own OS anymore? You don’t have to buy a Pixel. This news is about Pixel phones, one of the many many many Android phones…
You heard stuff? What stuff specifically? Care to elaborate and provide sources?
Isn’t SailFish a Russian outfit? Also, every time I’ve looked at their phones, they were either sold out or somehow unavailable. Are they still active?
Get a FairPhone with /e/OS. Give money to people who actually want to see an open ecosystem, not lock it down.
9·25 days agoI assumed this was going to be a negative article because my experience with canonical was equally disappointing. It only took me one go to drop it though. The pseudo-scientific questions in the online assessment got me so annoyed I was just cursing by the time it was over. Companies with this kind of selection process do not deserve the talent they get.
Shuttleworth’s involvement in the recruitment process explains why Ubuntu is such an annoying operating system to deal with. He probably gets involved in wrong places all the time. There likely is some kind of vision, but the dude won’t listen to critique, and surrounds himself with yes-men.
Redhat was… not as bad, but there’s something equally annoying about yet another opensource company deciding to copy silicon valley recruitment processes, instead of thinking for themselves and trying to be innovative in that regard too.
I really think if flatpaks were built upon nix, it would resolve these problems. It would however bring a new problem: people would have to learn forsaken nix 💀
How is it possible that Huawei is the third biggest phone vendor and most apps still have trouble running without Google Services? I thought they were not able to come preloaded with Google Services for a few years and that they have many customers outside of China. Are all those customers just limited to Chinese apps?
2·1 month agoI’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
Hail TOR and I2P!
27·1 month agoI honestly thought this was going to be a post about how they finally are going to trademark nix and the logo. Can they even trademark it? My feeling is that “nix” is just too ambiguous a term to trademark.
That’s the worst part but kconfig doesn’t sound much better. Even if I had time, I wouldn’t try contributing to the kernel for those 2 reasons alone.
It is great that he got to the point he is now. Kudos for pervering.
