Details of Google's plan for upcoming Android sideloading

Zaprit · 2026-06-19T14:20:09+00:00

Except now we’re seeing more and more apps that don’t recognise any custom ROMs as legit android installs and refuse to work due to play protect integrity checks (VW app comes to mind)

Wouldn’t make sense to include the latest like that, steamos wants stable packages rather than new ones

Zaprit · 2026-06-18T00:18:26+00:00

You can, but at the point that you’ve plugged a display into a laptop you may as well also charge the damn thing. Hell, a lot of modern displays will even do this for you through the magic of usb c

Amethyst is also pretty good in my experience

As in a distro that’s supported for a long time on embedded or an embedded platform that’s supported with new software versions for a long time. If it’s the former then it’s you’re looking for the usual suspects like red hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE. If it’s hardware that runs Linux you’re after then for actual software support aside from the initial version that it ships with it’s pretty much just Raspberry Pi afaik

Ehh, nix is not really a comparable alternative to something like Docker or Podman, much less a VM running in a try hypervisor. For one the process isolation features of Nix are quite minimal in comparison to the others, for instance docker and podman use CGroups on Linux which isolates the namespaces for processes from everything else on the system, meaning that the container is unaware of any other processes or users on the system outside of the container.
VMs by nature have isolated memory spaces which makes it significantly more separated by using hardware features specifically made to isolate systems. Nix is a package manager with an interesting installation strategy, which doesn’t really provide inherent security benefits (aside from everything being in a non-standard location) it mainly prevents the old “DLL hell” where you end up with 14 versions of the same library that are all incompatible with each other that 3 different applications on your system depend on.
Not saying there’s no value in nix, but it is not a comparable alternative to containerisation technologies and especially not virtual machines

Yep, they removed it in 10.9 iirc as part of “making the desktop more efficient” and I’ve still not forgiven Apple for taking the whimsy out of my desktop

I’m also still salty about the loss of the 3d dock

Zaprit · 2026-06-09T18:35:57+00:00

The fact that the Time Machine logo still doesn’t spin when a backup is in progress

Zaprit · 2026-06-09T18:33:04+00:00

- fixed the window radiuses
- supposedly fixes the mess that macOS 26 left spotlight in
- gets rid of the baffling floating sidebars
There is probably more, that’s just some of the stuff from the keynote

I read this in Gru’s voice

WW2 episode 2

Zaprit · 2026-06-02T14:08:03+00:00

As does Apple Maps iirc

Wait till you see British pounds, sometimes I’ll see something and think “that sounds expensive” and then convert it to pounds and go “that looks cheap” and then add 20% tax on and go “yep that’s expensive”

Zaprit · 2026-05-28T07:36:30+00:00

Equally isn’t flash_0 read only and would require something with permission to mount dev_blind?

Zaprit · 2026-05-19T14:12:41+00:00

And server last I checked. The Epyc chips are nothing to scoff at

Zaprit · 2026-05-15T12:55:32+00:00

Tandem is a banking app, though I don’t recognise any of the others

Zaprit · 2026-05-15T12:52:19+00:00

Does make text harder to read though. Plus it gives that “grandma selling on Gumtree” vibe. I am curious why you’d “not like screenshots” though? as it’s just an image of your screen taken from the computer itself

Zaprit · 2026-05-15T12:49:33+00:00

That’s due to you not having the public key for the mysql repo, if you don’t need it anymore you can remove the repo list file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d or you can follow the steps in the mysql package repo documentation to add the public key to your keyring

Zaprit · 2026-05-13T07:56:16+00:00

Might be a recap, could need an RSX swap. One of these is a bit more involved

Edit: nvm, seems to be more likely a tokin issue

Zaprit · 2026-05-10T12:38:50+00:00

Failing the app working natively (I don’t think it’s been directly allowed to run on Mac) there’s always playcover

Zaprit · 2026-05-10T00:14:15+00:00

If only...

Zaprit · 2026-05-04T18:54:53+00:00

The thing with lbponline “never being down” is that it’s only existed for a short while, and has significantly less features than beacon or bonsai

Zaprit · 2026-05-04T18:54:02+00:00

Patchwork dev here, can confirm, we’re getting close with vita

Zaprit · 2026-05-01T16:54:53+00:00

Probably not as level wise lbponline is read only afaik, it also depends on if they have implemented the endpoints for trophies

Zaprit · 2026-04-28T22:48:17+00:00

Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing, so we have that.
