Reporters Without Borders sues X
  • Ok maybe a very stupid question but

    The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced

    Isn't that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn't it be "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday"?

    I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it's not actually wrong, but that's not how I was taught English writing.

  • Sounds when I press certain buttons

    So recently, when I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, which involves a lot of pressing alt, a system sound keeps playing every once in a while. I think it has something to do with alt+wasd or alt+mouse buttons or something, but I can't figure out what it is.

    Anyone know what this could be?

    App sandboxing/cloning solutions for multiple accounts

    I'm looking for a good solution to clone/sandbox an app, so I can use it with multiple accounts.

    I recently got a separate phone number, and also a whatsapp account, for work-related stuff. Turns out whatsapp's own account switching thing is very unreliable and often doesn't deliver any notifications for the "inactive" account.

    I remember using Island a long time ago, but unfortunately that one hasn't been updated in 3 years. I'm using parallel space right now, which at least delivers my notifications, but often super late and includes ads, which also isn't ideal.

    Are there any good cloning solutions left, preferably with decently quick notifications? (open source would also be a big plus ofc)

    Rooting and locking boot loader
  • Yeah it is possible, GrapheneOS flashes their own verified boot key when you install it. This also means you have to reset these keys if you want to go back to stock.

    I'm not sure why lineageos doesn't do this, might just be a lot of work for all the devices they support. GrapheneOS only has to support the last couple of pixels after all.

  • Notification Time
  • That's gotta be a Nokia thing. I've been listening to music with do not disturb on when sleeping for years, never been an issue on samsung, oneplus, huawei, or pixel phones I've had.

  • low res camera app?
  • Looks like you can add your own folders in Fossify gallery, and you can exclude folders as well. So you could probably include the folder you want, and then exclude DCIM, as that folder seems to be included by default.

  • Clevo reseller wants get coreboot ported, ends up throwing a temper tantrum and banning Germany, Poland, Texas and AMD over unsatisfactory experience
  • Based on everything we learned about coreboot, we think you can port a laptop board in 40 hours or less. There are tools that you can use to dump most of the code you need. For instance, the GPIO can be done in 30 minutes, as opposed to the 30-50 hours that was quoted by several developers.

    OK, so why didn't you just port it yourself in 40 hours? Apparently it's super easy.

  • US judge orders Google to open app store to competitors
  • "The changes would put consumers’ privacy and security at risk, make it harder for developers to promote their apps, and reduce competition on devices," Google said in a statement.

    Lmao I'm pretty sure it would do the exact opposite of all of those things.

    Dependabot alternatives for non-github hosts?

    I'm really bad at keeping my dependencies up-to-date manually, so dependabot was great for me. I don't use github anymore though, and I haven't really been able to find a good alternative.

    I found Snyk, which seems to do that, but they only allow logging in with 3rd party providers which I'm not a big fan of.

    Edit: seems like Snyk also only supports a few git hosts, and Codeberg isn't one of them.

    Occasional slow loading and gateway timeouts

    The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

    Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

    Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

    Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.
