  • US poll finds 60 percent of Gen Z voters back Hamas over Israel in Gaza war

    Jump

  • 60 percent is also the portion of Gen-Z that chose not to vote in the last US election. If you don't vote, you don't count!

  • Trump says he plans unconstitutional executive order to mandate ID for voters

    Jump

  • Republicans and conservatives, historically, have been the biggest opponents of a national ID because they don't want the federal government tracking them or asserting any control over anything.

    Until trump, anyway...

  • Just found out the Signal desktop client FINALLY syncs chat history

    Jump

  • I always set my chats to expire after a day or two. You guys letting yours pile up forever?

  • Trump Says He’s Moving Forward With Ending Birthright Citizenship After Supreme Court Gives OK

    Jump

  • Theoretically they are supposed to have an adversarial relationship with the Congress and the president, but...

  • What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard?

    Jump

  • I've had the 1980's awk book seemingly "forever", but use awk so infrequently I always need to look things up.

  • Trump threatens birthday parade protesters with ‘very big force’

    Jump

  • Probably gets off on telling those "suckers and losers" what to do.

  • Which distribution should I recommend to beginners to scare them?

    Jump

  • Gentoo is a little easier nowadays. It has binary packages and you can use any old Linux live CD you prefer to do the install :)

  • Review of F(x)tec Pro1 X after 3 months of use

    Jump

  • It's nice to see what could have been... Mine suffers from a lack of connectivity, can't even use it on Wi-Fi without constant disconnects.

    My previous keyboard phone was Nokia N900 which was incredible, if a bit small. I find the Pro1x to be too large for my hands, a phone about 4.5 or 5" would be ideal.

  • Review of F(x)tec Pro1 X after 3 months of use

    Jump

  • There are no mass produced cases as I know. A couple people have released files to 3D print your own. I tried using a couple different materials, TPU feels the best but does add extra bulk to an already bulky device.

  • Trump officials growing tired of ‘unfunny’ and ‘irritating’ Musk

    Jump

  • They were in Wisconsin and he was pandering to the locals by wearing a cheese hat and giving away millions of dollars to bribe voters. It didn't work - the candidate he was supporting lost.

  • US should not have made concessions to Russia over Ukraine, says German minister

    Jump

  • It makes more sense when you realize he's negotiating not on behalf of the best interests of Ukraine or the USA but on behalf of Putin.

  • Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations

    Jump

  • Jammie Thomas had to pay over $9000 per song she shared on Kazaa and that was like 15 years ago. Inflation + millions of shares should mean billions of dollars owed to the publishers... Plus obviously deleting or forfeiting ownership of all the models trained on that data, naturally.

  • Chroot adventures 2.0

    Jump

  • I once fully updated a Gentoo system that hadn't been touched in 4 years. That was an adventure in troubleshooting.

  • Got myself an F(x)tec Pro1 X

    Jump

  • Nice! I'm jealous.

    Even using Wi-Fi in my house, it constantly drops connections. I was hoping to use it to basically VNC to my desktop but it is so slow and disconnects constantly. There's some speculation that some of the antennas were not soldered properly or something like that.

    Mine also has large black dead spots in the bottom corners of the screen, seems like it was over tightened during manufacturing. Maybe that's also what broke the antenna!

  • Got myself an F(x)tec Pro1 X

    Jump

  • Mine has been collecting dust. The signal is so bad, even on Wi-Fi, it's nearly useless. I'd feel guilty selling it. And i paid around $800 USD...

    The keyboard's the star here, and it has all the important keys for terminal use (though it's a little too wide for my hands, I'd prefer a 4 or 5 inch screen version)

    Aside from the keyboard it is like a 2018 era generic Chinese android phone with no support or updates.

    Physically I feel the balance of the phone is a bit top heavy, with the curves it's very slippery to hold onto especially using while lying in bed etc.

    Sadly the phone's mother (fxtec) died in childbirth, so to speak. And the whole "XDA phone" thing was a dud, XDA was a ghost town by the time this thing was in our hands.

    Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!

  • I've been using solid black desktop background since the 90s!

  • Which open source android keyboard do you use

    Jump

  • Heliboard for normal communication (glide typing) and Hackers Keyboard for shell/remote desktop/programming type usage. Generally i find the keys too small and typing on a touch screen is slow and annoying, so i use a real computer to type whenever i can.

    My typing accuracy is much better with gboard, but I don't use it because google...

    I have never used voice to text nor voice controlled assistant etc. as I have no interest in doing that. My phone is muted 99.9% of the time, I prefer to operate in silence...

  • Is there a programming specific distro?

    Jump

  • Gentoo. Literally the entire system is a build environment. Imagine a single environment that's capable of compiling thousands of different packages and managing dependencies etc.

  • Pixel 9 Pro XL is sometimes ignoring corner taps

    Jump

  • I have pixel 7 and it always takes 3 or 4 taps in the corners for it to register my touch
