@mjg59 You should really be more specific if this is supposed to be useful. First, monopoly "accidentally" breaking their competition is not okay. Not so long ago, people were allowed to run their own code on their computers. Suddenly marking that "insecure" is not helpful, you really should be more specific.

56 years ago, just after midnight on 21 August #1968, troops from the Warsaw Pact (led by the Soviet Union, now #RuSSia) invaded #Czechoslovakia. It was a turning point and one of the saddest days in our history. The occupation lasted for 23 years. But in a way it began much earlier, in 1948, when the Communist Party, controlled by the Soviet Union, came to power. The terrible ideology of Marxism-Leninism, the period of totalitarianism.
“Close the Gate, Little Brother!” is a famous song written by Karel Kryl immediately after the invasion began. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

The RuSSians have never changed. What we have experienced before, the Ukrainians are experiencing now, and in a much worse form. Please donate to weapons for #Ukraine https://www.weaponstoukraine.com/. #SupportUkraine

@fell @ciopor @cas Drivers for cameras are normally not _that_ huge. Camera chip is simple device connected over i2c... and we don't have real drivers for most of them, we have just lists "write this to this register". Yes, then there are SoC pieces and ISP chips and ... but parts can be bypassed and done in software. If you are experimenting with this, take a look at megapixels, first. It is simpler than libcamera.

@BrucePerens_K6BP Mostly good news. Even better news would be if court punished Disney for having the clause in the first place and trying to abuse it...

@badlogic @etchedpixels And I'd hazard a guess that shock you got was nowhere near the dangerous range. I can feel USB supplies leaking currents through me. I got shocks from electric fence, and they can feel nasty... and yes you should stay away from CRTs, but home electronics should not really be trying to hurt you.

@etchedpixels @badlogic There should be resistors across the capacitors so that electronics is not dangerous hours after powerdown, no?

@stevenimpson Actually... there's better option. Real Linux... that can still may not run your banking app, but is actually reasonable way forward. Check out Mobian / Droidian / PostmarketOS.

@etchedpixels Some girl here got an idea "I can use app on my smartphone to tell which mushrooms are edible". I tried to explain that smartphone app was not designed for this and definitely should not be used for this. "But we were using it in school". :-(

@mkyral @JanPetrus @martinkroul @sesivany Tak ono nakonec "aplikace jako aplikace", ale v praxi je to slozitejsi. Jo, u webu je vic prace s udrzovanim a nekdo plati elektrinu. Nejak jsem cekal ze kdyz budou data, aplikace se "napisou samy", ale ony mapy jsou bohuzel komplikovany.

@mxk @kernellogger @hrw So... the laptop shell is not in good enough shape to warrant major investment. I use Thinkpad X220 a bit more, but X60 is still good backup machine. I wonder if there are good replacements? Will I like X280 or something?

@kernellogger @mxk @hrw Yep, sorry for confusion. x32 clearly needs better and longer name, because this is too easy to confused. Like pointer32-on-x86-64 :-).

@fell @bdiederik "Reboot to..." is great when it works. Working boot menu is still useful when things go wrong.
