My devoted followers may recall me ranting about the instability of #LineageOS on my particular device. I finally figured out that it was using f2fs on a typically old phone kernel for the root filesystem, and switched that to ext4, given f2fs' reputation for "walk too near anything electrical and kiss your shit goodbye" levels of reliability. Sigh, #Android. We'll see how this goes.
In related news, if you need to store a ton of similar TWRP backups, lrzip is real great at compressing them.
I expect it says something about Deadwood that I'm willing to break my personal moratorium on media violence in order to get closure. The long-awaited finale premieres in 4 days. The series was truly the best television I've ever seen, and perhaps the best ever made IMO.
The movie is getting good reviews. Somehow it seems true to form that the guy who created Deadwood gambled away $17M and got diagnosed with Alzheimers in the interim - but in the end he got it done.
things i like about old electronics: you open up the case, and there's an envelope glued to the inside that contains the complete schematics and calibration instructions. a bunch of companies did that until the early 80s, too bad it never really caught on and just stopped at some point.
@kaniini As someone who has spent tens of hours of my life fighting shitty Lineage defaults leading to data corruption and device failure on the device in my hands right now..... fuck those ppl, and also the LineageOS dev process. The current state of mobile FOSS development resembles an open cranial wound after a chainsaw cage match. @coolboymew
@Phoenix_alx The app allows cross-account actions. You can interact with accounts or statuses independently with a long press. The good news, if these accounts or statuses are not federated with the other instance, the app will federate them.
running street fighter II on a video intercom we found in the trash. and yes, there's audio over the phone. and yes, that's a flatscreen crt. and of course we'll install it in the toilet. π
@drequivalent I agree with a great deal of what you're saying (and the "looking for a pen I have in my hand" thing is VERY FAMILIAR). It's all a very fuzzy area and there's a lot of room for new ideas.
I do also agree that all of human civilization would be better off if we had a custom of a) learning more about our own traits b) being more open about them with others and c) accommodating each other when reasonable to do so. We're dropping so much potential on the floor the way things are now.
Put another way, "if you can learn emacs you're not learning disabled" could be viewed as yet another de novo invention of the "if you can pay attention to $interest_domain, then clearly you're just not trying hard enough to pay attention to $boring_domain," an argument which people with ADHD have been dealing with from uncomprehending neurotypicals for their entire lives.
@tom79 I see that un-faving toots in the favorites timeline now immediately removes them. I realize that's likely what most users expect, but I used the previous ability to "re-fave" toots directly from favorites as a way of moving them to the top at the next refresh. I did this as a way of grouping related toots together in preparation to post or schedule them together. I don't expect you to change it back, just letting you know that sorting faves is something curators need π
