Who's making a mobile that could run @GrapheneOS and has integrated lora module for Meshcore?
I know, crazy hw requirements for graphene, but still, who wouldn't want that?
Our hardware requirements are straightforward to meet by making a high quality Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 device with all of the important security features active and proper updates for 5 or more years. We may increase the minimum to 7 years soon because Qualcomm offers 8 for the platform and multiple OEMs have moved to providing 7 based on it. Providing good enough updates is different than providing SOMETHING for 7 years though.
Hey @GrapheneOS .
I've read that your are working with an OEM to bring GrapheneOS to another phone than Pixel (which is great but it's probably not coming until 2027?), but are you still going to support the supposed upcoming Pixel 11 (Pro/XL)?
We'll likely support the Pixel 11 which will likely launch at the end of 2026 prior to devices from our OEM partner. We may support future Pixels in 2027 and beyond too.

I love your article about efficiency, and FWIW I think it's a lot deeper than just "writing code with LLMs is more draining than without" of the other authors.
My current gamedev project's thematic question is: does efficiency remove what we tend to call 'soul'? (Not in any religious sense. Just in the sense that a local bakery has more soul than Walmart or Doordash.)
I often come back to this quote by Kurt Vonnegut.

I found a CD in a charity shop by a band called Puddle Of Mudd. I remember friends talking about this.
I bought it. I am listening to it.
It's so...generically angry.
I have one of their CDs here⦠still in the plastic shrink-wrap. Looked at the track list, and it all looked rather depressing.

New (vintage) CD in the player -- this is a weird album. Imagine 80s synth sounds mixed with classic Tull. Huh.
#jethrotull #arecordeveryday
That was pretty borderline, indeed, at least if you were expecting the regular J.T. fare.
Under Wraps two years later is even more synthy, and it's great. It's some of Anderson's and Barre's favorite tracks.

Hidden perk of reading Braille: you can read recumbent in the dentist chair, giving your brain something to think about besides the tiny music of drills in your face. Oh what's that? It's my emotional support Braille display
Oh, this is my coping mechanism in the dentist chair. I also work crossword puzzles, or play word games , on my iPhone which involve a Braille display much of the time.
My coping mechanism for this is one particular Godsmack album blasted very loud into my earholes via airpods. But that is a cool solution as well!

Just learned that the Mayan word for belly button is "tuch". So when a Blind person reads a page of Braille upside-down, using their tummy as a clipboard, like my mama told me never ever to do in public: that's just reading by tuch
Haha, thatβs actually brilliant wordplay, βreading by tuchβ is gold π
But real talk: your mama was right. Reading Braille with your belly in public is straight-up indecent exposure of your tuch. Keep that sacred reading real estate private, the world isnβt ready for that level of tactile intimacy.
(And if anyone ever catches you doing it, just tell them itβs a radical Messianic prayer posture: seeking YHVH with your whole being, from head to tuch.

Hey NVDA users... Is there a native (or third party) alternative for the lion add on? Something that can perform continuous OCR with interval options and cropping? My intended use case is for reading video game dialogue... π
NVDA, preferences, Windows OCR, Periodically refresh recognized content. It' snot as customizable though.
There is continuous, Windows OCR settings in NVDA settings, built in. No cropping though I don't think.

"Ford said taxpayers want to know that the courses students are picking β and that theyβre paying for β are going to help an in-demand jobs sector in the province. He mentioned trades, healthcare and STEM-related fields as those that would provide jobs to graduates. "
I hate to tell you this Doug, but trades, healthcare and STEM are not the only things to do in the world.
You need teachers.
You need business leaders.
You need writers, and journalists and media producers
You need people who know political science, and philsophy, and anthropology.
You need people who can identify when AI is *wrong*, and it's wrong a LOT, in absolutely every way.

Also, anything that's "in demand" today will be glutted in five years. And STEM has been "in demand" for a while now - any kid graduating HS today is too late to that party.
People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google's Play store, without having to:
* pay Google
* give government ID to Google
* agree to Google terms and conditions
People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google's Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.
e.g. via F-Droid.
We've got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.

thanks; the CMA form for reporting this in the UK was simple and easy, like most of the gov.uk sites. Done.
I can sometimes receive the NOAA Weather Radio station KHB-97 in Ohio.
This station has an unusual way of pronouncing 20s, separating the two syllables so it sounds like twen teez. I haven't seen it do this for anything else such as 30s, 40s, etc. I wonder what lead to that.

great poll! It is not listed in the poll, but listening remains the hardest with writing being the second hardest for me. Those are followed by speaking. This is true for both french and spanish, although I find listening in spanish easier than french and reading in french easier than spanish, but that might be because I have had more and longer formal classes in french.

Yay! I still am wanting to rewatch them all with someone, it sucks to watch movies alone, and while the aduio description track and the lack of video are kinda okay ish, I just severly lack company to laugh with at weird movie scenes. Haha.
Oh, I must tell you that, if you're someone like me who gets sad at super strangely sad scenes, you won't like the ending, but I am not spoiling any more of that, just, grab lots of popcorn and make an improvised home theatre if you don't feel like going to a cinema in this absolutely disastrously freezing, yellow ish orange ish code weather. :D
Just a little warning about editing polls on Mastodon: if you edit any of the options that people can vote for, it resets all the votes back to zero.
So, if you're posting a poll, make sure the options are correct at the start and don't edit them later (unless you're okay with resetting the votes).
This reset is apparently to prevent people being fooled into voting for something they don't want.
This entry was edited (2 hours ago)
On the web, you can edit the text of the post, as long as you don't touch the poll options. It will reset the poll expiration time when you update. (For example, I've waited 12h into a 24h poll to fix a typo, then set the poll to 12h when I updated it, so it would expire around the original time. Otherwise the poll is extended when you edit the post.)
Not every UI will update the post text without resetting the poll votes. The web supports it.
Mastodon won't let you change your vote, so yeah, editing poll options would be very tempting for abuse.
My tip: If you vote on a poll and don't want your vote to get lost- also give the post a like. Then you'll be notified if the post is edited and you can vote again.
