Shared404··on GrapheneOS – When an app is slow
Makes sense. Any idea if there's any interest in a shim to get notifications working sans Play services?

I haven't looked at anything shim related in quite a while and am not super familiar with the notification stack for Android, so if that's a stupid question I apologize.

Shared404··on GrapheneOS – When an app is slow
For more precision:

Waze is fairly easy to run without play services. GMaps I haven't yet found a way to run, but also haven't looked in quite some time.

Shared404··on Photo GIMP – A Patch for GIMP 3 for Photoshop Users
Check out Krita, it's a much easier lift for someone used to photoshop ime.

At least, if you're doing digital art. Not as full featured for editing of photo's.

Oh hey, the company that orchestrated my first layoff!

Highly recommend Plunder (ISBN: 978-1541702103) for those who want to learn more about the enshittification these companies bring.

Shared404··on Ask HN: Does anyone else notice YouTube causing 100% CPU usage and stattering?
I believe their point is that people switching to Chrome _is_ turning off their adblocker.
Shared404··on Hypervisor 101 in Rust
Ah, good catch. At work so didn't play with it too much.

Tbh, would probably still recommend rendering it with pandoc because the h1's being split that way does annoy me, but at least it gets the content right.

Shared404··on Hypervisor 101 in Rust
Good looking typesetting from markdown is surprisingly hard. Played with it a while myself, and it's really not fun.

.... is what I was going to say until I went and hit the print button and 10% of the text was missing and everything was right aligned in the top right corner.

Yikes. You may find it worthwhile to clone the repo, iterate over it with pandoc to make A Big HTML File and then use your browsers print feature or pandocs converter. That's about as good as you'll get without a lot of pain ime.

Pretty sure the dead sibling to this comment shouldn't be dead.

Shared404··on Rocknix is an immutable Linux distribution for handheld gaming devices
The upside of this is I can point my semi-technical but not Linux savvy parent at it and say "Press the install button".

As much as I love pmOS, it's just not there unfortunately.

Shared404··on Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord
If you're worried about Windows 10's/11's telemetry, you should read Discord's TOS.
Shared404··on Repairable Flatpack Toaster
There is currently a bill in the Texas house to ban transition for people of all ages.

Also, minors would receive hormone blockers - which are reversible and safe. ...and also still prescribed for cases such as precocious puberty.

This is an open source analogue pocket.
Shared404··on Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]
> Every game card is playable, no matter how out of date the Switch is, without any internet connection.

This is mostly accurate, but not entirely afaict. I had to connect my switch to wifi in order to update the OS to play Xenoblade 3 (or Tears of the Kingdom? It's been a while).

Shared404··on The Origins of Wokeness
So, I'm very visibly queer and from the south. I have always been appreciative of gestures like this or in the parent comment - because it is not a safe thing there to assume that people would be accepting.
Shared404··on Why did clothing become boring?
I don't think clothing is any more boring than computers or photography or painting or drawing or running or cooking or martial arts or reading or woodworking or cars or makeup or any other hobby. Which is not to say all of those interest me, but is to say any field is going to be interesting to some but not to all.

For my case, for most of my life I hated thinking about clothes, hated anything other than big hoodies/jeans/jackets, saw it as purely utilitarian. Eventually after some soul searching and realizations/some new medication, I have discovered that I quite like using my clothing to express myself, my mood, what I'm doing, and so on.

Fast fashion is very dumb though in my opinion. No reason to be wasteful and throw things away, but there's a middle space that can be very rewarding to explore - the first time I put on a skirt was quite literally life changing.

Shared404··on TCP over TCP is a bad idea (2000)
IMO the latest update is the best option. Or a syntax like (<original date>, updated <update date>) if the update was not super substantial.
Shared404··on There Is No Website
Not only that, something which did work as a five minute gimmick! I remember playing the original "There is no game" on Kongregate back in high school.
Shared404··on Olympic men's triathlon postponed due to river pollution
Wow, thanks for that link.

I'm not, and never have been Catholic, but do have a complicated relationship with my own religion.

Seeing my own thoughts through a different lens was very interesting.

Shared404··on SCIM: Ncurses based, Vim-like spreadsheet
I've always seen CLI used for unix style utilities and TUI used for cursor-addressing/ncurses style interfaces fwiw.
Shared404··on Is Microsoft trying to commit suicide?
> I don't see this as a problem; there's nothing stopping anybody you send anything to from taking a copy of it. You can't take emails or IMs back. It's just dumb.

I may trust someone personally, but not trust their ability to administer a system. This requires me to do both if I am sending information to somebody.

Shared404··on Hacking millions of modems and investigating who hacked my modem
+1 to this. Dealt with the same in consumer PC repair.
Shared404··on Controlling the Taylor Swift Eras Tour wristbands with Flipper Zero
Huh, neat!

They used these at Loveloud last year, and I've been wondering how they worked. I've still got mine, just one more reason to get a Flipper Zero I suppose!

Shared404··on Attackers can decloak routing-based VPNs
It also would prevent your ISP or local attackers from seeing the domains you are reaching out to, which is still visible over https.

It's all tradeoffs.

Shared404··on Windows 10 will start nagging you to switch from local account to MS Account
That's annoying to deal with for sure. I got really lucky with things Just Working.

Being able to just play a game is worth a lot.

Shared404··on Windows 10 will start nagging you to switch from local account to MS Account
I'm using r2modman on Arch for Lethal Company and RoR2, has that worked for you? I have it and steam installed from the AUR/Repo's, I suspect flatpak would cause issues.

I definitely get just keeping windows around. I'm lucky enough that things usually have Just Worked, and I don't use VR.

Shared404··on Why We Practice Magic
I mean, it makes sense in the context of the next two sentences:

> They conceived of magic as the ability to work wonders, and as such it merited close philosophical attention.

> In Wonderstruck, I treat magic (like science and religion) as a cognitive technology that harnesses our sense of wonder.
