I don’t think that it is realistic to ever run a Linux distribution on one of the newer Galaxy S-series phones. It’s even very difficult to find working custom Android ROMs for them. If you want FOSS then an Android GSI or a build from the XDA Forums is your best bet, but (mainline) Linux is out of the question.
This is not just one of those ivory tower papers with their actual applications far away in time and eventually ending up in some obscure industrial process never heard of again in lay circles; this could have an immediate impact on the maker culture and makerspaces right now and in the near future. The preprint describes the process in a very understandable, digestible manner and provides actual implementation examples, as well as detailed recipes for all of the compounds. If you are even remotely interested in the subject matter, I’d recommend you to try it out for yourself. The “ingredients” are all easily obtainable and handleable. Yes, gallium and indium might be a bit expensive, but it is worth it imo. They literally used consumer kitchen equipment for some of the steps, to demonstrate how this is feasible for tinkerers, makerspaces and prototypes. No expensive machinery required (except for an FFF 3d-printer, of course).
Oh this is wonderful! I strongly recommend reading the preprint, really enjoyable: URL
There’s nothing wrong with writing code in a text editor. Plain vim is the best imo
ok ngl that ending got me hyped
Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.
All of this is confusing af
It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.
Are you certain that Element does not run in the background? It always does for me, both on my Samsung with OneUI and on another Samsung with LineageOS. Perhaps not really helpful, but my observation is that Element’s background “listening for notifications” is quite reliable. Might this be due to some settings in your OS?
Not entirely true. Humans have successfully modified the genome of plants and especially bacteria in a targeted way for years now. But things are of course much more complex in humans and vertebrates in general.
Where did you get that from? Why should Lemmy be hostile to that? We often get posts about donating to valuable projects and such.
As many others have already said, Lemmy is fully indexable by search engines. In fact, in this very community there have been posts about Lemmy content being above other results from more prominent sites like Reddit for certain topics.
What? There is no “Fediverse objection” to indexing by search engines. Who told you that? Lemmy is actively being indexed and is showing up when you search for posts.
What is your opinion on the modern LCARS seen in Picard etc.?
What? 1 °C is absolutely a fine enough stepping for everything the average human will want to convey about temperature.
Yay Gwendoline Christie, for me always immortalised as Brienne of Tarth!
I don’t think that “live chat” is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.
P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video
That would then mean that small instances would have to prove themselves before being accepted in the wider network of instances and just end up centralizing the fediverse.
Most of us want the Fediverse to eternally decentralise. Imho, this would be the optimal scenario. Whitelists would be a major obstacle to the décentralisation effort.
There is also OpenHAB, but I think Home Assistant is the more mature one of the two.
