mihalycsaba··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
Yes. Until we can use our palms to pay like they do in China. I lost too many cards when I was still using them.
mihalycsaba··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
Shake to toggle flashlight is the one feature that makes people ask about my phone.
mihalycsaba··on Children with cancer scammed out of millions fundraised for their treatment
Ok, I'll start. Is it antisemitic to question why so many scammers are fleeing to Israel?
mihalycsaba··on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database, faked data, told fibs
Could be a stunt, or just regular vibe coders thinking LLMs are Jarvis or something.
mihalycsaba··on AI helps unravel a cause of Alzheimer’s and identify a therapeutic candidate
It makes a lot of mistakes. Without modern medicine we wouldn't live this long. Alzheimer's is not a modern disease.
mihalycsaba··on Waydroid – Android in a Linux container
Screen record apps, that are protected in a normal phone.
mihalycsaba··on llama-fs: A self-organizing file system with llama 3
Exactly this. If it starts moving files around, who knows where will they end up.
mihalycsaba··on Inside the failed attempt to backdoor SSH globally that got caught by chance
Quick, someone link that xkcd where a crucial open source technology is being maintained by basically a single person, while billion dollar companies rely on it.
mihalycsaba··on Swedish composer becomes Spotify's most-famous musician you've never heard of
Maybe, this is what people actually want to listen to and the algorithm is just doing what it's supposed to. I see people listening to these no name artists, the most boring unimaginative generic contemporary music. Maybe this guy just really knows what the average listener likes. In my opinion Spotify's algorithm is the best in knowing what I will like and probably will replay, I don't think it would work this well if they were manually directing us towards artists.
mihalycsaba··on Apple announces ability to download apps directly from websites in EU
I'm developing an open source app(flutter) I have already started it in a simulator(kvm). I just don't want to jump through all the hoops and pay to be able to publis the app somewhere for ios users.
mihalycsaba··on Cousins are disappearing. Is this reshaping the experience of childhood?
People just want to be part of a community. Most of the time the only available open communities are church communities, so that's better than nothing.
mihalycsaba··on Rocky Linux, Reflections on Three Years of Growth
What's the difference between Rocky and AlmaLinux? Why would one choose one over the other?

mihalycsaba··on Ryzen 8000G review: An integrated GPU that can beat a graphics card, for a price
I still have that cpu, I remember the freezes, it affected Windows too, it was because of the fTPM, you needed to update your firmware or disable fTPM.
mihalycsaba··on Ryzen 8000G review: An integrated GPU that can beat a graphics card, for a price
How big is the difference on a regular setup? And is it a same kind of cpu, with integrated graphics? One of the example you linked says 7 watt, which is impressive, but I think you could achieve similar optimizations on an amd system. Let's say I install windows or some linux desktop and don't do any optimizations, how big is the difference?
mihalycsaba··on Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines
It's a QEMU wrapper. I don't know how is this useful. It might save you 2 minutes. Maybe more with windows 11 because of tpm.
mihalycsaba··on Macs can now inform Apple if any liquids have been detected in the USB-C ports
I have a 300€ 2021 Motorola Defy. I wash it often under running water, took baths with it, no issues with the headphone jack, neither with the usb c port.
mihalycsaba··on Pocketbase: Open-source back end in one file
Can this thing be used for a forum type site + a minimal game feature with around 5k daily users? How could you scale this with a single common database?
mihalycsaba··on Show HN: I made an app that consolidated 18 apps (doc, sheet, form, site, chat…)
My favorite parts are site and blog. Had some requests for websites and blogs and I like the idea, that it comes with a lot of other stuff integrated. I could offer this to my clients as a solution, but... It needs an e-commerce and a payment solution, at least with debit/credit cards. I saw you don't want to integrate external services, but this would make it a lot easier to sell the platform to businesses.
mihalycsaba··on Show HN: I made an app that consolidated 18 apps (doc, sheet, form, site, chat…)
Probably it is, based on the platforms it supports this early.
mihalycsaba··on Preparedness Framework
It should be higher on the persuasion risk, I know people who already believe chatgpt like it's the word of God.
mihalycsaba··on Preparedness Framework
Is there something that can make gpt do these things reliably? I tried autogpt 0.4 (maybe 0.3) it spent almost an hour until it figured out it's not running on a .deb system. It really couldn't do anything more complex than a few lines of python or some basic google search. Maybe there are better tools or the latest autogpt is better?
mihalycsaba··on Bluetooth keystroke-injection in Android, Linux, macOS and iOS
Does this even work without pairing?
mihalycsaba··on Bluetooth keystroke-injection in Android, Linux, macOS and iOS
Is this possible to pair a keyboard device to Android without confirmation?
mihalycsaba··on Flutter seems to be having bad times internally
It is just one person leaving Google, but still planning to work on flutter.
mihalycsaba··on Typing fast is about latency, not throughput
I think of something and codeium fills in 10 lines of exactly what I wanted.
mihalycsaba··on NixOS Reproducible Builds: minimal ISO successfully independently rebuilt
I don't remember, some of them needed some other tools installed(like flakes whatever it is), I looked for configs, that looked like they don't need a few more hours to learn and to setup some other tools for them to work.

I just wanted to take a quick look at hyprland, I imagined I just use an existing config, I never thought it would need hours of research. Later I installed an arch vm and managed to install hyprland with some basic components in less than an hour from the first guide I found.

Looks like I misunderstood, what nix was made for. I just want a system I can more or less set up with a simple config file.

I saw this os, didn't have time to try it yet, but I thought this is how nix works. https://blendos.co/

For example you just define gnome like this, the nix configs I found looked similar, they just didn't work.

>gnome:

> enabled: true

> style: light

> gtk-theme: 'adw-gtk3'

> icon-theme: 'Adwaita'

> titlebar:

> button-placement: 'right'

> double-click-action: 'toggle-maximize'

> middle-click-action: 'minimize'

> right-click-action: 'menu'

mihalycsaba··on NixOS Reproducible Builds: minimal ISO successfully independently rebuilt
Sorry for being dense, but I thought one of the main reason for nixos's existence is reproducibilty. I thought they have these kinds of things solved already.

I have only ~2 hours experience with Nixos, wanted to try hyprland, I thought it would be easier on Nixos since hyprland needs a bit of setup and maybe it's easier to use someone else's config on nixos, than on some other distro. Finding a config was hard too, found like 3 on some random github gists, thought there would be more... and none of them worked, at that point I gave up.
