To add to the list:
Here in the Northeastern US, weather patterns seems to shift forward. It stays hot till October. Even November might have a few summer-like warm days. And “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” is ironic since there was snow on Christmas only 2-3 times out of last 10 years or so. Snow comes in mid-January
“Call Message” sounds like something you would see in a horribly translated manual.
Call it “Live Voicemail” or something. And why would it need AI Core? Playing a recorded message is high tech now?
I remember the Ukrainian search engine/portal from early 2000s as well.
Thanks Google for now also taking the term “Gemini Space” away from geminispace.
Quite ironic that both the tech giant’s AI and intentionally-simple internet protocol are both named Gemini.
I hate to be that guy, but if FairPhone aims to reduce waste, be modular and repairable, why are there 6 models of them? Are they inter-compatible? What hardware (other than 5G antenna) changed since the first/second one? Even if it did, could it have been replaced (upgraded) on the original model?
Not necessarily a dig at the manufacturers, but I wish collectively we would stop chasing more features / CPU / RAM, stuck with something for a decade, and made existing software more efficient instead.
It’s a Librem5 phone with cringe name and 100% markup, but it’s their own product nonetheless. I.e. it is not a generic Android with a custom skin and preinstalled apps like Trump Phone, Freedom Phone, or Quantum Internet box.
You can buy pretty much the same Librem5 assembled in China for ~$700. Take a look at Liberux Nexx Linux phone too (they are just staring out)
(Not sure what you’re calling racist here, appeal to “patriots”?)
That’s the intent, at least:
Are you intending to ship a (close to) mainline kernel, or a Board Support Package (BSP)/vendor kernel and make it work with a libhybris/Halium approach?
We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.
Organic Maps / CoMaps is not some corporate platform, you “migrating” to them does not gain them anything. If you have a constructive suggestion, open an issue or contact them.
I see Microsoft Dynamics 365 and would like to introduce you its little brother: Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The language is C/AL, offshoot of Pascal, code editor does not support multi-line selection (let alone any features like highlighting or navigation), and source code control is managed by locking files.
Recently, saw some survey that explicitly said 1-7 is “poor”, 7-8 is “OK”, and 9-10 is “great”. Wild, not sure what the point of the scale is then.
Same with book ratings. Looking at StoryGraph, the average ratings I see is somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5. While I would rate a decent book a 3.
Born in Eastern Europe, live in the US, maybe that’s why.
Meanwhile, ironically, RFK and his Make America Healthy Again is at odds with Roundup:
Kennedy, though, has built a sizable following over many decades, in part, because of the lawsuits he’s waged against corporations, including the company that produced weedkiller Roundup.

WTF
I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.
Thanks for pointing this out. The list is made by a scraper (and I haven’t updated it in a few months), so it probably missed some models depending on the model code.
Thanks for reposting, I subscribed to this community too.
postmarketOS is fully Linux (based on Alpine Linux) Choose this for more technical projects or if you want your phone to be like Raspberry Pi++.
LineageOS is a clean Android. Choose this for Android experience.
That would be great and I might add a scraper for xdaforums, but even XDA has a lot of dead links for old devices now.
I never understood the point of realistic (or heavily stylized) graphics. Maybe it’s just me, but after about 5 minutes of “wow” my brain’s visual processor starts treating it as anything else, whether it’s Doom 2, Borderlands 2, or Stalker 2.
Slighty altered:
when prosecutors reportedly alleged the murderer used Google Maps to locate and visit places where handguns were known to be sold.
Sounds kinda dumb, doesn’t it? Once again, a lesser known app gets a portion of the blame because of shitty people.
P.S. I use iNaturalist and greatly appreciate all the people who correct my identifications.
Lived in Ohio, had that BS. My PHEV (which still uses gas for long trips) was taxed additional $200 a year, same as an EV.
My calculations came out to something similar - at ~15,000 mi driven a year and optimal battery use, I paid about the same as a car/truck with 20-25MPG. That is the MPG my first car, a 90s sedan, got.
Real incentives for efficiency and progress. /s
The ones I know of are not really masquerading, but rather, funding themselves and/or directly related services (often hosting) via convenient ways.
What I do dislike is companies overusing “Open” or “Free” in their own or their product names, with no implication of Free or Open Source software. Similar to slapping “engineer” on non-engineering roles or “manager” on non-managerial ones.
