Welcome to the RB family, NoWakeLock 🥳
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.j…
NoWakeLock allows you to get control over Wakelocks, Services and Alarms. It requires the Xposed framework on the device.
As an app with elevated privileges (root) it's especially good we can now certify it was really built from the source it claims 
Note the app had a transfer of ownership and uses a new signing key, so this update requires you to uninstall/reinstall the app.

Nice debugging story: Why is my CPU usage always 100%? (Upgrading my Chumby 8 kernel part 9)

It reminds me of when I was an embedded developer. I also did one of my studies projects with the Chumby, so that was fun.

Mark Zuckerberg, free speech warrior, has *so much form* for suppressing the free speech of his employees. Here's some free speech from 2020...

Facebook employees have recently been wondering if perhaps Facebook—which lets politicians lie in ads, festers with extremist movements like QAnon, and byTom McKay (Gizmodo)
In 2019, of course, he was giving out a different lie about how Facebook was founded to promote free speech. Then, it was because he wanted people to have a voice protesting about the Iraq war. It's amazing how often Zuck just outright lies.

On a whim when Christmas shopping I bought a tea towel with lovely illustrations depicting the full moons of 2025. Though now I have my ‘fancy tea towel dilemma’ of whether to use, display or keep safe in a drawer. Of course I totally forgot about it until realising that tonight was the first full moon of the year.
It’s too cloudy here to see the Stay Home moon, aka Wolf Moon or Moon after Yule, so enjoy this photo of the tea towel instead!

Eep, just 2 days to raise $34k to meet our match challenge - we've been working so hard this year with great results.... did you see our recent news about the AVM enforcement action? Check out the OpenWrt One? Hear about the DMCA exemptions we secured? Heard the success stories of our @outreachy alums? Played with a source candidate on Use the Source? Not only is that just some of our recent work but there's more news coming soon!

#ČT24 má na webu "Evropský pohled," kde publikuje české překlady zahraničních médií začleněných v EBU.
Bohužel se zdá, že ty překlady nikdo nekoriguje, takže třeba v tomhle článku (který se dost záhadně načítá pomocí JS window.location.replace()🤔) je vlastní jméno Christian přeložené jako 'křesťanství.' 🙄
Když se Chris Brönimann těsně před přelomem tisíciletí stal Nadiou, celé Švýcarsko to fascinovaně sledovalo. Nyní se nejznámější transsexuál v zemi veřejně potýká s lítostí nad touto volbou. Není to příběh o vykoupení, ale o prosbě po probuzení.Pilot News
Die Welt ist voller Messenger und gefühlt nutzen die allermeisten #WhatsApp, #Telegram oder #Signal.
Alle haben ihre individuellen Vor- und Nachteile und wer sich dann noch die die üblichen Sicherheitsseiten anschaut, z.B. @kuketzblog , wird schnell feststellen: Es gibt nicht DEN einen Messenger, den alle gut finden.
Warum ich unter den verfügbaren Alternativen neben @signalapp @matrix nutze, habe ich hier zusammengefasst:

I woke up this morning to a slew of text messages pointing me towards an article on Vulture about Neil Gaiman. Most of the messages were people saying they were sorry they didn’t believe me in the early 90s when I first started warning people that he was a “missing stair”, a fake feminist, and a dangerous man in a closed room. I’m so fucking tired of being Cassandra. I warned you people. Over and over. Nobody fucking believed me. It was a large part of why I walked away from a career in that industry.
Trigger warning: this article is brutal. I wish I had not read it unprepared. This is very much a strap on your protective armor and maybe plan on quiet time, read. It is nightmare fuel. It probably still won’t be enough for him to see any real consequences.
(Archive link to avoid paywall, I support Vulture, but this story needs to be widely disseminated.)

#Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 6 Weeks—Forget Chrome And #Android
Long story short is that Google has made updates to its advertising ecosystem essentially _permitting_ the fingerprinting of devices for use in targeted advertising. In their words they are going to be “less prescriptive with partners in how they target and measure ads.”
Doesn’t mean fingerprinting wasn’t happening before, just that Google is giving the green signal to the rest of the ecosystem to do so… and will likely use this to maybe replace third-party cookies.
Use an adblocker. Seriously.

Vamos a ver, es cierto que la imputación del fiscal general huele a prevaricación y lawfare que tira para atrás, pero no puede ser. No en esta España radical y rotundamente democrática, ¿no?
De esa premisa parte @gerardotc en su último Tecetipo. La conclusión es que, si no está prevaricando, lo que ocurre es que el Tribunal Supremo ha dado con "un agujero negro nunca antes detectado en el cual la línea espaciotemporal no funciona como pensábamos hasta hoy".
