Battery health refers to the degradation compared to the ideal state (its capacity, how quickly it discharges when not in use, etc.), not its current charge level

There is an article that can be expanded.

FOSS is the best option for us under capitalism, but it’s only a tool. The economic system is not going to change even if most software were to become open-source; the only solution is revolution.

In a socialist country, FOSS would still be preferable in most cases (e.g. not when state secrets are involved, and some things need to be kept secret as long as imperialism remains a threat).

Don’t know if Cockshott’s written about it.

FOSS is certainly a way to build a community, but it’s not enough on its own. The free software movement has done good work but it’s still more or less liberal.

Copyleft discourages companies from using it, so it’s better than permissive licenses for most nontrivial projects, but it’s far from perfect.

if a powerful enough corporation wanted to re-appropriate code despite its extremely well written copy-left license could they?

Yes, they can just ignore the license; as long as the code is kept proprietary and can’t be decompiled into easily recognizable code from the copyleft project, it’d be very difficult to identify and prove in court. And if it were to be discovered, a huge company would likely get away with a relatively small fine (I don’t know if there’s any precedent, but we all know the big bourgeoisie is very rarely held accountable for anything)

There is a reading group on /c/theory@lemmygrad.ml. It’s been off for a few weeks due to very limited engagement, but with the new users, I’m making another attempt. This week we’re just collecting suggestions.

Is there an official (African Union) source for this?

quick hits

ah, yes – RPGs are well known for delivering satisfying experiences in short bursts

There’s OpenKirin, but it doesn’t seem actively developed. Another problem is unlocking the bootloader; Huawei no longer sends unlock codes, so you’d probably need to use something like PotatoNV

I wish it was

I’d recommend installing trash-cli or something equivalent as well

LibreWolf is good, just enable privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing in about:config (they have binary repositories for Debian and some derivatives). There’s also Arkenfox if you just want reasonable settings in Firefox

Yeah, the original Doom engine has a lot of quirks (some unintentional, others necessary to be usable on PCs at the time) inherited by most source ports for compatibility reasons. Doom WADs are usually designed for a specific compatibility level and may rely on some of these quirks to be present. ZDoom and its derivatives often ignore them and are far more advanced than most other source ports, at the expense of severe performance issues on certain maps

oh no, I can no longer play Thatcher’s Techbase using the Official™ Bethesda™ Doom port, I guess I’ll have to settle for dsda-doom or prboom+ or Woof or GZDoom or Eternity or

yeah, go ahead

VoA is CIA, might as well use the original article from AP, which is slightly less shit

(Please don’t say Pokémon)

Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

keeping secrets smh

I am using a 4k monitor that I found for free in a Walmart

please elaborate

There’s no danger in using RISC-V – if the official standard is compromised somehow, China can just make their own “fork”. I think it’s more likely just a business decision by Loongson. Unless it’s replaced, it’ll likely become an open standard eventually
