They all die. To maintain that codebase millions of moneys are needed every year and dozens and dozens of devs working on it full time. There’s a lot of boring and hard work that will never be replaced by some indie hackers working on their free time that needs to be done.

Just thinking about reminders is making me anxious. And arbitrary reminders or artificial deadlines are totally useless because I set them and know they don’t matter, so I’ll just skip them anyway.

I’m more of a beer person myself.

All the fucking people that actually know cryptography and are experts in their areas.

It’s good to be inquisitive but at some point if a person is not qualified to understand either you gotta belief some authorative figure or pay someone you trust to go review the code if you still don’t trust it.

Multiple experts have said for years that it’s solid. There’s audits out there. It’s used in the most extreme places where people need to survive and commucate securely and governments keep screaming they need backdoors because they can’t fo anything about it.

At some point the whole questioning it has to stop.

Continuing to eat garbage opinions from the internet and growing conspiracy theories eventually has a limit.

No, we know that, but people will still come scream here that you need a phone to register anyway. It’s all the time the same people. Not realizing that is the easiest onboard that all the normies are used to and an easy way to control spam accounts.

There’s lot to be improved honestly. I have problems many times before device recognize each other that they are connected and am forced to open the devices settings and forcefully refresh them. Also I couldn’t make it work for android tv last time I tried.

I got the smallest I found, supposedly the bootloader is unlockable, the problem is that no alternative OS builds for it… Asus zenphone has been good quality so far. Although I heard that more recent version had things locked… Not sure.

Dear god, just don’t.

They are out there. I also have it around for those occasions. More common that you’d expect. Almost always some shitty site needed for work that has problems.

I have a thinkpad t470 from some years ago as my personal laptop has still works perfectly fine. I destroyed a few things in it, like usb ports and have some scratches on the screen, but linux support has always been good. Best think It has is the hardware design that if you drop liquids on top of it then it doesn’t reach the motherboard. It saved it when I dropped a full latte on top and I really though it was gonna go to the trash… Fortunately I only had to buy a new keyboard that is something easy to replace.

Anyway, I will also need to buy a new computer soon fro work and am very interested in getting a framework laptop or another thinkpad if it has things like the great feature above still in place.

Also been eyeing with extreme interest some tuxedo laptops.

These are the well known to work I guess.

I have a dell xps from a few years around and wouldn’t recommend it to my enemies. Just this week it froze and crashed 3 times. Obviously all related to the stupid nvidia and hybrid graphics it has… so maybe if you can get one without that shitty piece of hardware maybe it’s fine.

We could call it a Hit list.

So alcohol makes kids smart!

Now, that’s cool stuff. Much better than teachers parroting religious stuff.

I have a machine which has a much older installation. I’ve destroyed the pacman folder on the var partition accidentally which made my pacman stop working since it had no db and no idea of what packages were installed. I still managed to restore it with some weird scripts after that and is still working fine after like 2 years.

Arch is freaking resilient, but mostly because I didn’t want to reinstall since everything else is working xD

A classic indeed

That could be a combination of something only you have or really just a bug unreported. I would recommend trying to open a bug report and maybe more people can chime in and help.

I’ve personally had a bunch of regressions and problems with some versions, but it’s been fixed for my specific devices. Got 2 codecs for input/mic I can choose and the others for sound output including ldac working nicely.

Just use a decently recent distro or update to pipewire (and recent kernel). Pulseaudio is basically not where the good things are done anymore. It’s been more than a year or 2 already that the sony phones have microphone working properly.

It is a hard moving bunch of pieces that needed to be in place. The user libraries (pulseaudio or pipewire) the bluez stack and the kernel. For a while things were almost working on the first parts but there were problems on the kernel side then the kernel received patches and it finally was able to support the good audio codec.

well it is simple, but you also gotta be competent as per the wiki :P

If only we could know who it is, things would be so much different.
