I wonder if any Linux-capable system-on-module that can be purchased in small quantities has power management competitive with modern smartphones. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, the SOM used in the BT Speak Pro (blazietech.com/bt-speak-pro), definitely doesn't. Deane Blazie said as much on the BT Speak support forum. So they have to use a big battery (8200 mAh, compare with typical smartphones) for decent battery life. Used more efficiently, that big battery could allow impressive battery life.
Well, you do have access to the console on a BT Speaks. I'm wondering if there are some services that you could turn off to make it more power efficient? Yeah, that does sound like a pretty big battery though.
Yeah, you wouldn’t be able to trust any e-mail server to actually process unsend requests. And yes, I use the unsend feature, because I could forget to attach a file or something else, after hitting the send button.
Then those who prefer to be able to "unsend" can have that option on, and those who prefer to be able to send emails without that delay can have that option off. Then everyone can get what they want.
I don’t use the features on the clients you mentioned above, but I do on another one and the unsent message goes into my draft, so I can fix any typos or other errors I might have typed.

It seems to me that programming discourse has been dominated for several years by calls for intentional mediocrity, either voluntary or enforced. We're supposed to use languages, or language subsets, that are approachable to the average programmer. What happened to beating the averages (paulgraham.com/avg.html) and "succinctness is power" (paulgraham.com/power.html)? To using every available tool to make hard problems solvable and keep increasing our effectiveness without artificial limits?
This, slightly further down in the comments, along with the idea of Kernighan's Lever, gets to the problem with that sort of flexing:
"This implies that programmers exist in isolation. Most of the code I read was not written by me. If the subset of the language that I stick to is a completely disjoint subset to the one a collaborator sticks to, we can’t review each others’ code. If I jump into a new project and it’s using a distinct subset of the language to the one 1/2
this feels like the consequence of a bigger shift from programmers as heroes to programmers as good team players, necessitated by the scale of the internet and what it enables

Bear in mind that the difference between a "disposable" vape and a "technically rechargeable" one is basically just the addition of a USB port that had to be intentionally removed from the off-the-shelf electronics used to make it.
Selling "technically rechargeable" devices as cheaply as the "disposable" ones they replace won't fix the problem.
In terms of material use, ten "disposable" vapes are about the technological equivalent of a smartphone.
Imagine a phone you threw over your shoulder after making ten calls.
Now imagine the next "disposable" device that uses the same amount of materials.
We shouldn't be banning individual products. We need a comprehensive Circular Economy Bill that bans ALL products that don't fit strict criteria of sustainability, reuse, repair, remanufacture and compostability.

Russell Contreras zeroes in on findings of the PRRI "Challenges to Democracy" study. Who, precisely wants to round up immigrants and put them into camps?
79% of Republicans vs. 22% of Democrats
75% of white evangelicals 61% of white Catholics 58% of white mainline Protestants
As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.
"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."

I guess we’re still a long way away from calling this what it is: white supremacy AND anti-Blackness

I have never built curl and never even touched VisionOS. But doesn't the SDK flag require a value that is listed in his SDK list? That would be my first assumption.
Let's restart the highscore thread again, people are saying it got too long. End of the previous thread: mk.nyaa.place/notes/9zoixlwqn6… So I figured out how to keep touchpads working in gamepad mode ^^ It involved reverse engineering the payload for the ID_SET_DIGITAL_MAPPINGS feature report - neither SDL nor kernel driver do it, so I didn't have any reference this time.
Anyway, now touchpads are fully working, with the same behavior as for Steam's gamepad action set - right touchpad moves pointer and does a left click on press, left touchpad does a right click on press and that's it. I'm not sure why it doesn't also scroll, but I wanted to keep it consistent (steam's desktop action set scrolls it and middle clicks on press instead, tho it does mean you have to use L2 to right click)
When Steam is running, you still have to switch to gamepad action set or you'll have double input, but I don't think I have any way of mitigating that - oh well. When Steam is not running, it will switch everything automatically at least, so at this point it's probably good enough. I'm yet to find an example of any app doing it well, so I don't think libmanette apps would stand out in a bad way here.
So, at this point I mostly just need to clean up the code and think again about what the public API should look like.
That said, I want to rework libmanette API entirely. It's not in a very good state right now, it's a lot more convoluted than it needs to be.
Ok, now all gamepad input works. I could also really easily hook up accel and gyro, but need to think how to expose them in libmanette first (and we'd probably want to support them for evdev too, we don't atm)
On Highscore side, if libmanette report…
Blogged about this as well now: blogs.gnome.org/alicem/2024/10… Mostly I wanted to keep the ID_SET_DIGITAL_MAPPINGS structure, as well as general steps documented somewhere online, as it would have helped me a lot. ^^
Do you love and/or hate HoTT or dependent type theory? Come do a Ph.D. with me to develop applications of HoTT to verified functional programming and/or think outside the box about how we can make dependent type theory work better.
I recently received a grant to study the Univalent Verification of Parameterized Structures, and I need Ph.D. students to spend that money on. Application deadline December 15 to start Fall 2025. Lots more info here: carloangiuli.com/pages/phd-rec…

@hughsie pmccabe for getting complexity/function size data, git for getting the files from various tags over time, perl to glue it all together and then finally I gnuplot everything into SVG images
@hughsie you'll see that I like generating a CSV file with the script that I then let gnuplot render the image from. It makes them two distinct steps that are easy to debug and work on separately.
LA Times owner seems to be in league with Trump, vetoing a Harris endorsement and then letting the campaign use standard-issue lies to smear the paper for something it didn't do.
The editorial page editor quit in protest and she deserves our respect.
She has more courage than the vast majority of our political press corps, which still normalizes Trump and will be culpable if he -- and then Vance -- become America's fascist rulers.
Mariel Garza, the editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, resigned on Wednesday after the newspaper’s owner blocked the editorial board’s plans to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Do letošního června velvyslanec v Rusku Vítězslav Pivoňka měl za úkol „dobýt ambasádu v Moskvě zpět“. Vrátit ji do českých rukou. Protože, jak říká, ji ovládaly ruské uklízečky, kukačky a štěnice.
We moved the Firefox Translations engineering channels from private Slack to a public Matrix channel, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. The project was a bit more closed in its infancy, but now that we are on a good track, everything is defaulting to much more open. This makes me happy.

I love how he emphasizes that while accessibility is a vast space, we can start small and learn from the assistive technologies already built into our devices!
In ‘Building an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Time’, a presentation I recently gave at Swift Connection and SwiftLeeds, I spoke about “making accessibility accessible”. What does it mean, and how can we accomplish this?
