Waiting for mine that should arrive by the end of August :)

I can talk about my experience, i tried to port pmos mainline for my galaxy a40 for a while, until the phone died :( it was not easy of course, but ppl on their supoort channels have always been helpful , and tried to help and even if i didn’t finished the port because my phone died, i did my luttle contributions to the wiki adding missing infos, improve some of the steps, adding deatils, etc. I think that every little contribution will help them.

Also now there is a started port of a40 if anyone is interested to continue it, and also the code for uniloader to boot (kr if u have a spare a40 to donate :) )

So even if not technical, helps with visibility, donations, documentation upgrade, installation attempts i think will be all welcome.

About the bar level. Big problem is the lack j of standardization of those devices, and all the different and various lock they put around, so for this one I think the main issue is there should be more standardization or more regulations among various devicee producers , like is with pcs (i. e. Bios, uefi) . Where there aren’t locked bootloader, or for installing alternatives u need to go through a satanic rite and sacrifice your youngest relative to unlock the bootloader. And tbh i think they are making a big effort in making all the process at least doable. Maybe if they will get enough attention, or a consortium of producers will try to co e with a standard, thjngs could be better

I remember that a person not able to fill a simple form is called a “functional illiterate”, so this tool if i understand it correctly is helping people to go in the illiteracy direction faster?

You need just to make sure you are comfortable with linux cli, then you learn the stuff the more you use it.

Building from source depends on the project. Usual linux way is:

./configure
make
make install

But that you always need to check the project you wanna build documentation. Since there are different build systems, and some project could be built on a different way.

Given the times where microslop github is being enshtittified (i started to call it slophub) you can use any of the other, it’s up to you (i started to use more and more codeberg), anyway to learn git, you need just make sure to use from cli, so any of the project hosting sites is fine (not even totally necessary, you can have your own project just locally, without remotes, but using on of the above, but in this case you will not deal with remotes, so is a good idea to use one of them, just stick with the cli).

When I said truly open source i was talking about the tools used, but of course i’ll appreciate if you do OO.SS stuff! :)

I would suggest you to use the integrated Godot IDE, especially as beginner, since gamedev is switching between ui part of the engine to set various stuff and coding, so having everything in a single application is much easier. And the godot code editor is also pretty good, give it a try first!!

Anyway setting up godot is one of the easisest things to do :D just download the binary file , make it executable, and run it.

Any question feel free to drop a DM or reply here.

It depends on your skillset. Are you already familiar with development in general? Or linux?

For Linux yiu should know the basics of how to use it, basic commands, like mount, ls, cd, package managers for your distro, build programs from source etc.

Then you probably need to be familiar with git, if you aren’t already

For contributing to open source games, well they could be written with different languages or engines, so you should familiar with them. And a good first step is bulding them from source!

And for your gamedev journey , if you want to stay truly open source you can try godot, with a python like syntax, and not hard to learn the basics and no royalties to pay.

So do you know everyone working on it? To assume noone is capable? Because otherwise this is just offensive. Also the project has been created less than 24 hours ago, so what do u expect already a ton of differences ?

What i meant talking about ownership in my previous comment, was the AI Slop user, that they could feel to have done something, but they actually didn’t the AI did it, and they didn’t wrote a line of the LLM output. Meaning that he did to himself more harm, thinking of being more productive. He didn’t produce anything, let a tool do it, that has been able to arrive at that point by stealing data all over the internet, without paying a penny. And the user didn’t gain anything from it, didn´t learn anything, that in the long term is a loss of skills, meaning a loss of value, and being easier to replace, that was what I meant.

And the big corporations will get out without paying much, they pirated content, but they have money. So any fine for them will be just a bunch of pennies. But I think that now they pirated more than piracy at its peak. But this has been considered fair use (Also the destruction of thousand of physical books, to have them digitialized to train the LLMs…)

Also i would add that whatever comes out from AI is their (AI) product not yours. Making the LLM user losing its core abilities by delegating their core activity to the LLM, meaning losing even more value as a worker and becoming even easier to replace (that also is one of the. Main reason of this big LLM hype.).

Looks like that marx “capital” is more actual then ever!

In one word, capitalism?

This should exain why i received 2.mails woth password reset request not initiated by me in the last few days. Luckily I have 2FA!

Well I totally agree with it :) (even if it should be ironic)

Have you tried tui ebable (if your gdb supports it) you have few layouts. Here: https://github.com/dreamportdev/Osdev-Notes/blob/master/99_Appendices/F_Debugging.md#debugging a short pargraph explaining some commands and also the Tui (text user interface )

Because in my opinion people are used to reddit, and is the biggest one, baiscally everyone else is there, why changing for a platform where you have evem to choose " an what? An instance?"), with a fraction of the users.

I stopped using reddit after the api rules changes, i quit twiitter as sson as that nazi guy bought it.

The main socials I use are mastodon and lemmy.

How many of my friends are on madtodon? 1 or 2, how many of them are active there? 0. And i think my nbers are even higher than wjat i think they should be because most of my friemds works in the IT

People unfortunately just wants everything quickly, without hassle, and are not prone to change.

A question on reddit? Probably you’ll get an answer in few hours. On lemmy? You are luckynif you’ll get one.

I have a small crafting page, that I’m trying to spread using only mastodon, it’s much harder. These are the reasons I think.

And most people don’t even care about the content of if their timeline is 85% ads and suggested pages.

They will just scroll. Algorithms are shitty, but who cares. Everyone is there…

I’m pretty sure it’s e!

Yeah the story setting is intriguing. Nkw what type of game will be? But again this opening is intriguing

In my opinion this is one of the main issues. All those features should be disabled by default, and only the user decide if they want to enable them!

But they are doing the opposite.

Twitter, bsky, threads- > mastodon Office - > libreoffice Adobe indesign (not sure about the name) - > Scribus. Photpshop - > the gimp and krita

I’m Lookong for a good alternative that i can evemtually self host of google docs

Reread what you have written:

You are 22yo, you have done an experience abroad (and it already place you above lot of ppl that didn’t even left their own country), and i assume you speak at least a secind language beside your native one, then you managed to set up a new business, earning money, the businesses is successful, and the parents of this girl are trying to make you believe the opposite?

Well I think that you should be able to tell who is the failure.

Ok, i found also that the revanced app has the plugin for youtube.

So when you download and patch youtube using the revanced manager one of the options is “Force Original Audio”, make sure is selected.

Then when starting the patched youtube, go to Revanced Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Spoof Video Streams, and then select IOS Tv as default client. Then go to Revanced Settings -> Video and you should be able to enable the “Force Original audio language” option.

Yeah it’s so annoying, and also the title autotranslation. I hate it. I started to download the videos using yt-dlp.

The only way to get rid of all those annoyances.
