Ugvx··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
The only reason why I needed nitter to access x is due to organizations still using it as their main communication solution to their customers. Even my local council uses it. I would like this to be the final push for people to get off x but I suspect its going g to stay and I guess I don't get to see news from my local council anymore.
Ugvx··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
I was part way through setting up both redlib and bitter on my homelab when this hit. Every app I have used, every plugin, they all get stopped. Was hoping a web proxy would be the final solution.

Also add newpipe/YouTube proxies to the list. I miss the free and open internet

Ugvx··on Maybe you should learn something
I came to a similar conclusion last weekend. My 20 year old car was having some issues and instead of taking g it to the mechanic to be charged $1,000, thought I would give it a try myself. 3 hours later and the problem was fixed. And I learned a lot in the process.
Ugvx··on Bevy game development tutorials and in-depth resources
This has been on my list to kick off for a while. From previous times I looked at it, these tutorials are the only text based tutorials that are really kept up to date. Love it
Ugvx··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
Add to that existing grapheneos users at best only care about good enough performance and a good camera, the selling feature is security and so a lot less overhead to market such a phone. Those who want the latest features will continue to buy pixels, Samsung, and iphones. The only thing I feel is missing from the picture at a quick glance is a tablet for the few who want a secure tablet device.
Ugvx··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
Grapheneos has well established its role in the android ecosystem. Having developed and upstreamed features that have as a whole, improved the security of android.

Pine64 has targeted a very different market around extensibility and hacker/maker mindset. However while their phones have a lot of potential, security measures are half baked (microphone cutoff switch doesn't actually cut off the microphone), performance mediocre, and demand missing. While I love my pinephone pro, its not a dailiable device. A phone that cannot access common services like your bank account are non viable for 99% of users.

Ugvx··on Rewriting my website in plain HTML and CSS
Its the the first time someone has reinvented a static site generator...

Looks around sheepishly
