Back in 2019 I was certain that putin only had a couple years left in him. He started stuttering, mixing up words, could barely walk by himself, always looked disoriented etc. And yet a pandemic, war and 7 years later he’s still fucking alive and relatively well.
If you have an unlimited budget, you can now extend your life by decades. Honestly trump may actually make it to 100 or something.
The bigger story is that modern western societies still require most people to regularly interact with gasoline or diesel. If you think about it, regularly purchasing and burning toxic, polluting fossil juice just to get around is super fucked up.
Aaaand of course the first two repos on the Explore tab are NixOS-related
No (well, in theory it could work but I didn’t manage to set up 81voltd). Regular calls via 3G networks do work.
Well, you have to get one used :) It’s like 7 years old now
To be honest ATM I just copped out and I’m running Plasma Mobile (with some tweaks). I really wanna get used to sxmo but it just doesn’t click with me.
As for a tutorial, I think this is somewhat similar to what I’ve done: https://github.com/mwlaboratories/phoneputer
Except I also flashed an older version of OxygenOS with edl (https://codeberg.org/magdesign/sxmop6/wiki/EDL) to get GPS to work.
No, but regular calls (via 3G networks) work-ish; the only problem is that you can’t switch the audio output, i.e. hands-free calls are not a thing.
To also answer your question directly: yes, this was indeed one of two initial motivations for Nix!
You mean NixOS? Well, it’s definitely not as polished as pmOS, but most things do work. My gf is using it as an LTE-enabled music player, and I’m using it to ssh into my servers when I’m out and about.
It required some hackery to get GPS and the modem to work, but then it’s mostly similar to pmOS. I need to find some time to sit down, clean up my config and publish it somewhere, but life’s main quest line is preventing any side projects rn.
If you can get it for not too much money, I’d definitely spring for it. Even if you find it doesn’t suit your daily needs (it probably doesn’t just yet), it will at least be a fun toy for playing with mobile linux.
Alternatively, if you’re overweight, just be happy that she’s helping you reduce calorie intake
OnePlus 6/6T + PostmarketOS (I run NixOS on mine but I’m weird). Seriously.
Both cars I’ve bought and sold in Georgia (the country in the Caucasus) were done with cash USD. This is just how the car market works there. From my experience the situation is similar in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt (maybe not as common), etc…
It is called US Dollar for a reason.
It is also called a “world reserve currency” for a reason; though hopefully not for much longer
Thousands of OpenStreetMap editors hospitalized with a simultaneous stroke
I mean, that’s just false. In a lot of countries with weak or unstable local currencies, big purchases like vehicles and real estate (sometimes even rent) are often done in USD to make sure the money keeps (most of) its value until you want to spend it again. I’ve seen it both in Africa and Asia. I’ve had to handle USD bills a lot even though I’ve never even stepped foot in the Americas.
Basically, everything he ever did in life has been rendered useless
I wish that was true. Fucker’s ideology is still alive and kicking (vulnerable people in the teeth). We need to make it unacceptable and punish those who cause harm onto others.
To be fair, any “elected” officials in capitalist countries don’t hold much power to go against capitalists. Most things that Trump is doing benefit at least some major faction of the capitalist class. If he tried to nationalize Boeing or something, the next shooter wouldn’t miss.
On the other hand, Mamdani is doing some good stuff here, and is probably annoying billionaires. I guess it’s going to be tolerated as long as the damage to them is less than the damage which would be caused by removing him, and thus delegitimizing the remaining perceptions of democracy in the states
Start buying more solar panels and batteries instead of oil and gas. Even if China (or whoever else you’re buying from) goes to shit at some point, those things will last you decades while you figure out what to do next. Fossil fuels can only be used once and you can’t even stuff a single year’s worth of them into reserves.

Well, yes, it is. Kids who used calculators to cheat with basic arithmetic will often struggle with learning more advanced concepts later on because they didn’t get a “feel” for numbers, and I strongly suspect the same will happen with kids who start using LLMs before they know how research works.
It is totally appropriate to use calculators when you already have an intuition for small numbers, and in just the same way students should learn to use LLMs, but only when they already know how to write and think and research stuff. Curriculum needs to adapt to this quickly, otherwise we will end up with a generation that outsources all their thinking to techbros.
US was built on rail, and it was way less dense and urban back then. The problem is not how “compact” a country is, it’s simply a question of priorities and budgets. China and EU are investing in rail (to varying degrees), so they get rail with all its benefits. US is wasting more and more money on financially unsustainable car infrastructure, so it is getting failing car infrastructure.
