If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:

I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.

If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.

Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.

There's basically 2 situations where this can happen:

1. The app needs Google Play Services, if you disable this (on stock Android) you'll need to enable it. If you use a custom ROM, you probably want microG
2. The app detects if it's installed by Google Play, either a weak check (can be bypassed with `adb` and using the `-i` flag I think or a strong check and... yeah, no luck.

If you're on stock Android, I see no reason to use Aurora Store, it doesn't give more privacy :)

💡 Governments play a crucial role to support the #DigitalCommons.

@ChristopherWilson (from @MyDataglobal) highlights their vital role and emphasises that the design challenge is also a key consideration.

We discussed Eurobhyvecon, Jail Descriptors, Capsicum vs. Pledge, the WITHOUT_JAIL build option, the Yggdrasil overlay network IPv6 routing scheme, podman, PkgBase, Netgraph vs. bridge vs. aliased networking performance, rctl and cpu set, the Nitro init system and process supervisor, and much more!

I made a tool for generating a Yggdrasil key/address so you can template your configs and dynamically deploy nodes that will be able to all mesh with each other.

It's kinda clunky trying to figure out how to consistently generate and deploy the configs otherwise. You'd have to generate a config normally just to get the key, but you won't know the address it will be, then try to apply your changes to that config, etc etc

I have a local FreeBSD port for it too, it's just simple Go code

The Demise of the Dynamic Duo

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.

It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).

People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.

It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out

“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”

Is there anyone on my timeline using Remote Incident Manager on Mac OS 15.6.1? I’ve been trying to use this with AIRA but don’t want to waste my minutes as RIM crashes as soon as it tries to establish the connection. There are known issues with this OS, as noted here, manual.getrim.app/en/macos/iss…, but not as severe as what I am experiencing. I would like to test with someone before calling AIRA again. Anyone? Thank you!

there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.

this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.

don’t matter if it’s an #iOS #iPhone or an #Android #Pixel: they’re #microcomputers.

we should have full access to and use of their hardware & operating systems.

Nvidia’s Rally Faces a Reality Check

Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.

Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

Is Meta the Next Nvidia? A Deep Dive into Its AI Potential

Meta is quietly becoming a serious AI contender, with $72B in AI infrastructure spending, superintelligence labs, and open-source Llama models. Despite 30% YTD stock gains, it trades at a big discount to Nvidia. With 3.48B daily users and massive cash flow, Meta offers muted downside and huge AI upside.

I was looking at it for general usage, where users expect to be able to do partial updates of large files and not have it take a minute to update. Some clients can do partial updates, but I abandoned the idea of using webdav because none of the clients publish what features like these they support, so how knows when macos or windows will break/deprecate/remove partial updates.

Yesterday, the Oaxaca state government, headed by the "leftist" MORENA party, unveiled 75 new assault rifles for the state police purchased from Israel Weapons Industries.

"Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site Tuesday in the Park Avenue neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protestors.

The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed."
