oh i hear thunder i think...

got a bit of a headache when i woke up from my nap for some unknown reason. i haven't taken tylenol in many weeks which means i must be doing something right, i guess. probably from welding flux and grinding fumes this morning under the car is my guess.

i normally don't like to do flux core welding except on metal that is dirty and can't easily be cleaned, like car exhaust pipes. tig is just way nicer and cleaner but not that easy to get under a car

It's a bit diffident when you don't have big megacorp subsidies (Meta, Google, various local-market apps, etc) & have to buy all hardware from third parties. And perhaps not have planned obsolescence. And upsales. And ad revenue. And frown upon slave or unhappy workforce & other negative society impacts.

Also it looks like an ok phone, low spec cameras, but still the usual dimensions, OLED, enough RAM & CPU to be usable in desktop mode, Linux.

Yes, this.

Google is slowly but consistently closing down the ecosystem (that should have been openv all the way through anyways).

Just like with the search engine, the early ad-free serve-everyone-equally stage is dead. Now the monopoly is about to monetise what it can & control all the things.

it's becoming apparent why the demon rats were so interested in their MS13 gang member friend from el salvador kilmar garcia, going to visit him and trying so hard to bring him back - he was a high level cartel human smuggler and they were completely in on it and working directly with the cartels

i've said this many times, nobody crosses that border without paying the cartels money. if they do they're taking a huge risk. the democrats and deep state know this and they have a long history of working with cartels on all sorts of other nefarious activities like smuggling drugs and guns

New fork of X.org xserver
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.nar…

Hello,

I do not think the original post, by Enrico Weigelt, to the xorg-devel
mailinglist made its way thru, tho freebsd-x11 was CC'd.

Anyways, if anyone missed it, here it is:

Hello everybody,

this morning, Redhat employees banned me from the freedesktop.org gitlab
infrastructure - so censored all my work (not just on Xorg). They killed
my account, my git repos, my tickets in Xorg and closed all my merge
requests. And then making fun on social media about it.

They fired the shot that's heared around the world.

So much for freedesktop.org being "independent" and embracing freedom.
Perhaps we should nominate them for the next Orwell award.

It's now clear that freedesktop.org is the Redskirts, and they want
to kill X. By the way, the same corporation that tied to proprietarize a
lot of FOSS code, including the Linux kernel (and I've been one of those
who warned them about terminating our license grants them).

My most evil heresies probably were:

a) forking Xorg and making actual progress
b) talking to a journalist whose name must not be spoken in many other
Redhat/IBM tax evasion outlets, like GNOME (they're also banning
honorable long time contributors for just mentioning that name)
c) inviting anybody to join me, without discrimination

I don't know why, but it really looks they're quite scared by one guy
that's just trying to actually bring X11 forward. Hard to find he right
words for telling how honored I'm about that.

This didn't actually surprise me, I knew this would be coming for about
a year now. Just didn't expect them to do such an extremely irrational
and dumb move. Now I'm taking great pleasure seeing the Streisand effect
kicking in (my inbox is exploding). Thanks for that great publicity.

It's not the first time this happens in FOSS world, and it's not the
first time it's happening in X: remember what Xfree86 board did to
the honorable Keith Packard, back about two decades ago - what lead to
the birth of Xorg and the death of Xfree86. Same is happening again.

History repeats itself.

And now the Redskirts placed me onto the same stage as the great
honorable Keith Packard. WOOOOW.

Just to be clear, I didn't want to fork, I tried my best to work
together with the Xorg team. But I knew for long time, this day would
come. Xorg has been captured by Redhat, in order to get rid of destroy
competition. The necessary consequence is a fork, more competition.

For those interested in bringing X forward, feel free to join the
mailing list:

freelists.org/list/xlibre

Git repo:
github.com/X11Libre/xserver.gi…

I'm expecting to be banned from whole freedesktop.org mail system, too.
Excommunication unfortunately had become a common thing in the so-called
"free software" world - GNOME is just one of many examples. So if you
don't hear anymore from me on freedesktop.org lists, you know what's
going on.

Join the xlibre mailing list to stay tuned.

Together, we'll make X great again.

have fun,
--mtx

We are talking of X11 Xorg-server ... wm is a layer/application over the Xserver and DT is over a WM

Fortunately I don’t deal with much of that stuff


If not X then what, I was asking, it has been around long before linux and the BSD fork of unix
Even its license includes companies that no longer exist, like SGI, SUN, DEC ...

Having just watched the Watergate mini-series, this is exactly what Nixon did to John Dean, told the press Dean had researched and created the internal Dean Report, exonerating the top white house officials, it was a lie. John Dean had never compiled such a report. From then on, John Dean knew he was being set-up as the fall guy.

DOGE was a completely irrelevant number of cuts and executive spending grew after those cuts. The Trump admin made a big deal about the social programs growing points for things that don't amount to much. Any CIA activity basically just moved back to the State Dept, so they probably saved some overhead on having to lie about certain programs. USAID was always a conduit for CIA operatives to infiltrate foreign governments. People who defend it (and I have a friend who worked directly for a USAID program in DC and defends it) sadly are not aware of just how entrenched the CIA was in those affairs (and still is). During the Kennedy years the number of operatives on the CIA payroll in US embassies outnumbered those employed by the State Department.

Most of what we've seen is performative, including this kayfabe with Elon and Trump. It's all narrative building bullshit, meant to build division and drama, when both of them are going to get everything they want. The spending bill is just a means to continue the slow collapse of the US and world economies with ever growing irreclaimable debt.

@LaylaAlexandrovna @djsumdogTrump seems to care more about keeping the tax cuts than anything else. The bill had that in it, so he’s happy with it. Individual Republican representatives added things based on their own constituents and companies in their districts. There is spending that is obligatory. They agreed (mostly) on rather large cuts to Medicaid over the next few years, which is actually a big ask for them to pass and they will probably pay for it next year in elections since republican districts tend to have more people on Medicaid. They always add tons to the department of defense, which imo needs a fucking audit instead since we’re talking about waste/fraud/abuse. And then apparently no one read the bill.

Besides which, Congress was never going to go along with all of the spending cuts that Trump and Doge came up with and Congress is the one who controls the budget per Constitution. The President has no control over the budget himself, but he can ask and work with Congress to implement what he wanted. Doge’s ‘cuts’ were mostly a show for the media I think.

Additionally, the Senate is already refusing to vote for the bill as is and they’re rewriting it. It’ll probably take a good portion of the summer before anything gets passed. The senate generally moves slower than the house.

The shenanigans over passing it were for the media, which has been criticizing Mike Johnson for over a year now for not passing a budget since he became the Speaker if I remember correctly.

This shell is based on gestures starting from the screen edges. A short swipe from left to right will bring a launcher with the default applications pinned to it, and your current open applications as well, appearing on top of the pinned shortcuts.
A longer swipe from the left edge will bring the whole list of applications.

If you swipe from the right towards the left in a short motion, you'll switch to the next open app. If you make a long swipe from the right edge, then you'll get to a multitasking view, with apps displayed in a 3D layout.

You can swipe an app's card up to close it, or tap an app to resume it.

Finally, a swipe from the top edge of the screen will bring the notifications, and the quick settings, which don't display as on most other operating systems: they're in a straight line, that you can scroll from left to right, and tap each icon to get to a quick few shortcuts, like enabling or disabling a specific feature, or dive deeper into the settings.

The Applications


Out of the box, you get a nice calculator that handles rotation beautifully to display more options, and lets you swipe from the bottom in portrait to still get access to these options. The default calendar app looks good, with an Agenda view that shows your various events in order, a day, week, month, and year view.

I won't dwell on the camera app, as support for the pinephone camera is still in its infancy, it's rare that it even displays an image.

The Clock application lets you add various clocks from all around the world, start a timer, or use a stopwatch. Swiping from the bottom in the "clock" tab lets you create alarms, although I would have preferred alarms to be a full tab in the app instead of hiding that behind a swipe.

The contacts app does what you'd expect, list your contacts and allow to set some as favorites and you can swipe from the bottom to create a new one. The file manager looks good, although it's a bit slow to start, and lets you create files, and change how the directories look.

The messaging app works as you'd expect, letting you type messages and send them to your contacts. You can also swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to start a new message.

The web browser is alright, if a bit slow to start.It lets you pick your search engine and homepage, and display web pages in desktop mode, but there are no sync capabilities for history, bookmarks, or passwords, so it's not going to be fantastic to use.

There is also a terminal app that looks really good and has quick aliases in the bottom left corner. The Notes app is also pretty competent, letting you swipe up from the bottom to create a new note, and syncs with evernote.

This leaves us with the phone dialer, letting you pick a contact, or just type the number you want to call, and the weather app, which is really black and white and pretty spartan, and it reminds me of a windows phone app.

The Settings


The settings page uses a sensible icon grid.

Ubuntu Touch is pretty barebones in that regard: in terms of customization, you can change the wallpaper, the ringtone for calls and messages, and that's about it. A few apps let you switch to a dark mode in the settings, and some offer to respect a "system preference", but that's not something I could find in the settings.

The AppStore


The OpenStore serves as the App Store for Ubuntu Touch. It's not a package manager like you could find on other Mobile Linux alternatives: no way to download a desktop program here, at least not graphically.

You'll get apps that were made specifically for ubuntu touch, and there are around 400 of these in total.
You can also get a few Matrix clients, and a nice email client called Dekko 2, among other applications.

Updates are handled in the system settings, with over the air updates for the system itself, and for the apps, grouped at the same place.

help needed with Linux internet connection!!
i have tried everything i could possibly think of, but Linux will not connect to the internet until i restart it. it doesn't matter what distro i use, it won't connect. on windows, it connects immediately, but only with fast start enabled. i have reset the router, the BIOS is up to date, and I've tried pretty much every solution i could find online. at this point i think it's a hardware issue, but I'd like to know if there's anything i can try before giving up on Linux until i get a new PC. any help is greatly appreciated!

#DigitalSovereignty is at the top of the political agenda, finally, that's good. But strange things (or not so much) are happening.

Like this one: The Luxembourg gov is moving to Google Distributed Cloud, see datacenterdynamics.com/en/news… and it is framed as "sovereign".

The Dutch minister for Digital Affairs (outgoing) is so inspired and might follow.

But wait a minute: a managed cloud service by Google, how much sovereignty does that give to you?

Seems more like a case of #SovereigntyWashing

They have shitty sleep because their own jowls choke them at night. So much of life is out of bounds to them because they can't move properly. They simply choose to "live" this way.

It is very strange.

I know people who are slowly drinking themselves to death. Bad teeth from sugary alcohol. They're probably on the fast track to alzheimer's. This is preferred over... life? Reality? It's almost like these people— extremely well-to-do sportsball fans and system-believers— are burdened by some vague consciousness of what we "wrongthinkers" know, but can never acknowledge.

Like they have some suspicion that the future is an ugly place, not worth showing up to. :cirnoShrug:
