it’s used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works onn your system. It’s the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.

I don’t want to replay Fallout 2, I want some twin-stick shooters with comfortable touch controls. As much as emulators on Android improved, they usually provide poor touchscreen experience.

They did sell Android games like seven years ago.

Anything that runs on Android?

Your viruses installed themselves a Windows virtual machine to run properly?

I guess that phone would use eSim, so no slot is needed.

This needs some simple hardware trigger, that can be queried by bootloader, but specific wnough so it won’t trigger in your pocket. If buttons are unavailable, I can propose several idead:

• Cover the proximity sensor 10 times per second. Requires good motor skills.
• Shine separated red, green, and blue lasers into three of the phone cameras. You’ll need a box with three different-colored LEDs to cover cameras module.
• There is a low-speed data channel in wireless chargers. Just add the button to the charger instead of the phone.
• Put your phone at exactly 2.5G of acceleration. Accelerometer is easy to use even from the bootloader, however you will need to put your phone in a centrifuge and reboot it while it’s rotating.
• An option ‘Reboot into recovery’ in system settings, duh. Won’t help if your ROM fails to boot.

Where’s My Water

It does not require great screen-tapping skills, characters are designed by Disney, and it’s premium.

I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

• Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
• There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
• If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
• There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
• There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.

I was trying to make a dumb joke, because I’m disappointed that they didn’t release it for Android.

Yeah, I perfectly understand why. World of Goo 1 was one of the best Android games, but the sales numbers were non-existent.

I bet you’ve also replaced Microsoft Edge with Chrome.

This incident will be reported

Steam

I see how you are casually ignoring Microsoft Store.
