  • Open source project seeks to clone classic Z80 chip • The Register

    Jump

  • Interesting, I see possible mutual assistance between this project and MisterFPGA, MARS and other FPGA projects. I guess the real difficulty is getting a fab set up to manufacture the chips. Once again, maybe they can take a page out of another project's book like armsid or, more aptly the Apollo line of computer upgrades and cycle accurately emulate the functionality in some other freely available silicon.

    Promoted on TikTok, ‘No Thanks’ boycott app targets products tied to Israel

  • Not always and not all the time. One only has to look at the many rightwing outrage, astroturf boycotts.

    Promoted on TikTok, ‘No Thanks’ boycott app targets products tied to Israel

    Jump

  • Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.

  • I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡

    Jump

  • This is why I moved to Linux Mint. Then, when I got tired of having to reinstall the entire OS every time there's a new version I moved again. Spare a thought for the poor saps who feel stuck with an OS from a single vendor. And sometimes even paying for the privilege. That being said fund open source. Freedom isn't free.

  • Over 30 pro-Palestine protesters arrested at Ohio State: what we know

    Jump

  • Not sure that this is because the protest is against Israel or just this is a protest. After all, look what went down during the cessation of Occupy Wall street. Those guys were rough.

  • Are we Wayland yet or Whats missing?

    Jump

  • Slightly OT but hasn't Fedora gone all in on Wayland? Maybe it's an attempt drive critical mass of adoption and concentrate developers' minds to closing the gap between now and fully production ready. As such, maybe moving to Fedora will net you the best support and smoothest Wayland implantation.

  • Russia vetoes a UN resolution calling for prevention of a dangerous nuclear arms race in space

  • Some of them are Christo-fascist and they just wanna get raptured.

    Some of them are nationalist and they think their country is so awesome, it can tank a few nukes.

    And some of their number are so mind fucked by machismo and toxic masculinity, that they just want to wave the big stick.

  • This may have been one of a series of payments. This is only one that leeked.

  • Yeah and all relays in China are owned by the government. Besides TOR cannot put apps back in store. Hey, that rhymes!

  • ELI5: GrapheneOS questions

    Jump

  • I am using GraphineOS right now. Here's my answers:

    1. Accounts are local. They don't necessarily have an online component. Aurora store works fine. The only major issue is some apps from the play store will break if you don't have Google services installed. The level of breakage really depends how the app handles this lack. Sometime you may not have a feature and other times it will just not run. You can install and run Google services but I'm unconvinced that your privacy will be protected just by the sandbox. A possible solution is to run all that stuff in it's own profile. You can't run both simultaneously, though.
    2. For synchronization, I use Syncthing. It's not to the cloud but it'll get files and photos off your device. As for notes Turtl and I believe Obsidian sync to their own servers. Mega.nz runs on GraphineOS also. I don't know if it syncs, though
    3. Notes - no. I use Turtl. But I've heard good things about Obsidian. Drive - don't know wouldn't think so. Photos - yes. Messages - yes. For the last two, you'd have to find a solution if you want to back them up.

    For backup, GraphineOS will also backup to USB drive.

    Like all things, it a trade off. You trade security for convenience.

    But one very nice surprise is I now have so much better battery life. I'm getting nearly 3 days off a charge!

  • Netanyahu aims to trap west into war across Middle East, warns Iranian diplomat

    Jump

  • Isn't that enough!? OK, I suspect there are other governments out there that will fall on the side of Israel should push comes to shove. I strongly suspect the UK will also support Israel when it comes to it.

  • Spy.pet is harvesting your Discord history with no ability to opt-out

    Jump

  • This is assuming the bots are allowed (or, at least not prevented in coming) in by the server admin and the bot is not obfuscated some how. If the bots are taking advantage of an expolit, or not being up front, then we have trouble.

  • So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

    Jump

  • I think the real solution is he wants money. If it was solely to reduce spam/bot activities, then there are other ways to do that. Maybe a Bitcoin-style proof of work scheme where evey post needs to show a hash of the message with a nonce. The difficulty needn't be that hard to make mass posting computaionally unfeasible.

    In fact, Bitcoin appropriated this proposal to reduce email spam. It never took off with email as it was an open system and network effects and a catch 22 meant that it floundered. But X, née twitter is a closed off dictatorship. They could force it through edict.

  • Dunkey's Guide to Streaming Services

    Jump

  • I'm reminded what GabeN said: Piracy is an issue of service, not price.

    I agree with him up to a point. As price gouging is a feature of modern day streaming.

    One reason Steam became the defacto standard is because the insane Steam sales that Valve put on in the early days.

    They kept their monopoly in the face of other stores giving away games mostly due to service, though.

  • 'Oppenheimer' finally premieres in Japan to mixed reactions and high emotions

    Jump

  • I don't think they could show the bombings as Oppenheimer wasn't there. However, it is plausible that he saw some newsreel footage of the aftermath. They could show that.
