Citation needed for this, as this makes no sense.

However, content shifting (i.e. ripping from CD to digital) is a thing, and that's what I do with my physical media.

I have a oneplus6 and use a mobile version of Debian called "Mobian". postmarketOS is a really good choice, and they have a wiki of supported devices: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

The 10th amendment is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenth_Amendment_to_the_United_...

I have bought a Unicomp keyboard 7 years ago, had none of those problems, it works as well now as the day I bought it.

You should look at MNT Research: https://mntre.com/

So something that you can do with PDKs is add your own custom standard cell and tell the EDA tools to use them. This is actually pretty smart, this way you can use most of the foundry cells (which have been extensively validated) and focus on things like this "magic multiplier", that you will have to manually validate. This also makes porting across tech nodes easier if you manage only a handful of custom cells versus a completely custom design.

(I have my guesses as to what that is, but I admittedly don't know enough about that particular part of the field to give anything but a guess).

Ohh neat! A generalized version of this was the topic of my PhD dissertation:

https://kilthub.cmu.edu/articles/thesis/Modern_Gate_Array_De...

And they are likely doing something similar to put their LLMs in silicon. I would believe a 10x electricity boost along with it being much faster.

The idea is that you can create a sea of generalized standard cells and it makes for a gate array at the manufacturing layer. This was also done 20 or so years ago, it was called a "structured ASIC".

I'd be curious to see if they use the LUT design of traditional structured ASICs or figured what what I did: you can use standard cells to do the same thing and use regular tools/PDKs to make it.

Look up "piddle packs".

Agreed. Doing something about this should have been well over a decade ago, not now. Considering how long it took, this isn't going to bring me back from ordering from Amazon.

Not really. I'd rather find out very quickly that someone doesn't know a domain space rather than having to wade through plausible looking but bad answers to figure out the exact same thing.

> Since when did “scratch-built” become equivalent to “built from scratch”? As a non-native English speaker, do I need some more English classes?

As a native English Speaker, "scratch-built" is definitely not a common term (I was confused when I read this).

ok...and? The post was about making a native GUI app, which GNOME builder is clearly able to do. By your logic, the app in the video won't work across OSes.

My point is this is still clearly possible for native GUI apps.

I saw this comment a while ago, and even now, I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

Here's the page: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/352475/Canon-PGI-280X...

It's honestly hard to tell, but I think the pack of 5 is for the set, not 5 of each.

I mean...at least for GTK on Linux, you still can? It won't be 10 seconds (probably closer to 30-40 seconds) since you have to go through a couple of prompts to name it, decide a license, etc., but with:

https://apps.gnome.org/Builder/

You can do the same thing. In fact, this was the exact method I used to make a few GTK apps.

> How is it having a Linux phone? Do you use it as your main Phone?

Yes, I use it as my main phone. I like it, it reminds me a lot of the early Android days when I felt like I had complete control of the device, and I can customize it how I want to. If you want to tinker with it, I recommend a Oneplus 6/6T. They are sub $100 and its very well supported (that's what I am now using as my daily phone, with Mobian installed). I used to use a Librem 5, but it's battery life isn't great. The Oneplus 6 has no problem with a whole day's battery life with medium usage.

> How well do android apps work? what about banking apps?

I don't know, I tend not to use Android apps. Waydroid exists if you want to use them, and I have done that in the past.

> any issues that would make u NOT recommend it to other people?

Many of the devices have their own paper cuts to get it to work, and each model has their own quirks. For the Oneplus 6, calls have an audio problem with VoLTE that isn't fixed.

> Are there many apps that are made for linux phones (or have a UI that works good with phones) so that you are not missing anything?

For my use cases, it works. That includes SMS/MMS, voicemails, calls (sometimes, but I don't get many calls), email, car/bicycle/walking navigation, Signal, internet (Firefox), Matrix. Others have different use cases, so YMMV.

I have a desktop and laptop with X11 and another laptop and phone with Wayland. It's not because I prefer one over another intrinsically, it's because I use XFCE on the laptop and desktop, GNOME on the other laptop, and Phosh on the phone.

That being said, they all run about the same to me? If XFCE swaps to Wayland, I probably will too. I have run XFCE for a long time, so I have been experimenting if I like GNOME or not and if to switch.

Of you haven't read it, I highly recommend Admiral Cloudberg's analysis of MH370: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/call-of-the-void-seven-y...

Heh, that isn't my experience.

I created a client Linux: https://gitlab.com/kop316/gtk-meshtastic-client and even posted it on their discussion page: https://github.com/orgs/meshtastic/discussions/99 . One of the maintainers responded positively to me: https://github.com/orgs/meshtastic/discussions/99#discussion... .

In the case of Linux, that issue is solely because of non-upstreamed drivers. With that, it can be a first class citizen just like any other processor.

As someone who uses Mobile Linux, I am pretty excited to see this, but I can't help but wonder if this is only a "Business decision" and not necessarily Qualcomm turning over a new leaf for being FOSS friendly:

- Their Snapdragon X laptop didn't do very well, and they likely realize an ARM Windows laptop will always be a second class citizen: https://www.techpowerup.com/329255/snapdragon-x-failed-qualc... .

- Likewise, Mobile SoCs are completely dependent on Android without proper upstreaming (which they haven't done in the past).

- They are seeing Valve spending time and money on FOSS support paying off, especially with their new hardware releases.

On the other hand, proper upstreaming of the chips give them much more flexibility for different linux-based OSes.

If you are going to create an account to make a comment like this....some citation and clarification on what you mean would be appreciated.

Heh, I have to use Windows 11 at work, and one day it just decided to delete all of my local files. To add insult to injury, for whatever reason it left all of the files that were in the Recycle Bin.

My only saving grace was that I recently started to use the business' OneDrive, so I only lost a couple days worth of data.

That's addressed right here:

"Thanks, but I tried that already. There's just one key there and that's for the Windows boot drive. I tried the key on the drives but it didn't work."

Both of those phones support LTE only. Both make/receive phone calls, but the Librem 5 is more stable on that front.

The Fairphone 4/5 supports 5G, but I don't know how stable they are on pmOS/Mobian

I am trying out a Oneplus 6 on Mobian, and I got 29 hours of battery life on idle, and it is looking to be around 15 hours with light usage.

With a Librem 5, its 12ish hours on idle, 20 hours on suspend, and 4-5 hours light usage.

Given the fact that your account looks to be specifically created for this comment....it would be good to have some sort of citation to back this up?

> My biggest question is if they use Halium/libhybrys at all

From what I have been able to tell, the folks behind Furilabs are also behind Droidian, which is Halium/libhybrys based. Furilabs/FuriOS is the commercial version of it.

> I get the nostalgic aspect.

While you may understand the nostalgic aspect from a logical level, I don't think you understand it beyond that. This next line:

> But it's not like there aren't a zillion from-scratch brownie recipes to choose from.

To me anyways really indicates that. I know there are a zillion from-scratch recipes online and in books and in other media. That isn't the point.

> If throwing away some extra premix destroys the pleasure, then that's a low bar.

Once again, I think you are totally missing the point. I think this captures why it's a big deal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D8TEJtQRhw Betty Crocker is effectively doing that.

Without understanding it at more of emotional level, I can see why this doesn't resonate with you. Unfortunately, that also means it is unlikely that you will able to understand why it is a big deal and why other folks are arguing with you the way they are.
