nobodywasishere··on LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices
I used to use LineageOS from 2018-2022, and even maintained a public spreadsheet of the different supported devices and their info to help people find their own devices. I eventually moved to iOS last year for a variety of reasons, though a part of me misses using Lineage. I wrote about why I moved here[1].

I wonder how the numbers would compare across generations taking into account the AIDs epidemic.
nobodywasishere··on Narrow tracks forcing trains to creep at walking pace on Boston's newest subway
The funding for the T has to come from the state due to how it's structured, meaning the only possible way for funding to increase is for it to come out of the state budget. I agree that it should be handled at a city/local level.
nobodywasishere··on Ask HN: What do you want in a habit tracker?
I've been using Streaks[1] on iOS for the past few weeks and it's everything I've been looking for. It supports widgets, all data stored locally and can import/export as a csv file, no ads, no tracking, no bullshit. I used to use Loop Habit Tracker[2] on android and it was similarly really good in all the respects you mentioned and more, plus I managed to transfer/convert all my habits over to Streaks when I switched as they're both csv formats.

nobodywasishere··on Apple Passkey
Apple Music on Android is actually really good, I use it daily. On some level it was a priority for them for market share, to compete with Spotify. I don't see the "competitor" in this space (cloud) though that would drive that necessity.
nobodywasishere··on Apple Music is the most buggy and annoying software I use
Apple Music on Android is a pleasure to use for me, especially dark mode and being able to cast right from the app.
nobodywasishere··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
Fossil, technically, if you write functions for converting to/from git automatically to push/pull from github
nobodywasishere··on Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
Lazydocs and mkdocs can take python docstrings and renders markdown into a documentation website. Given it's just a sphinc website, you could probably then also add plugins for mermaid, plantuml, etc.
nobodywasishere··on Ask HN: How much do you study in order to do/make something?
As little as I possibly can to get something working, then iteratively improve and learn from there. After I have something working do I branch out and try new things, always having something to revert back to (thanks git!).

nobodywasishere··on LineageOS 19
> Still really odd that i couldn't just take any ROM and install it on my current phone

This is because ARM uses device trees to know what hardware's on the device, versus x86 which discovers it at boot. Every rom has to be specifically built for that exact device model.

nobodywasishere··on LineageOS 19
Which phone / carrier? I've been using VoLTE on a Pixel 4a with AT&T, and have heard other devices working with T-mobile as well.
nobodywasishere··on LineageOS 19
Since the S3 Neo is still supported, I don't see why the S3 wouldn't be. As far as safety, at a bare minimum it would only be as unsafe as the stock rom, though having newer patches to the kernel / android does mitigate a lot of vulnerabilities

nobodywasishere··on Verilog Is Weird
There are lots of reasons why some HDL could be unsynthesizable:

- multi-driven nets where two or more signals are driving the same node

- the target not supporting certain features like multi-clocked FFs

- missing components or libraries (not uncommon if you're trying to use VHDL 2008, for example)

- timing analysis failing, meaning the HDL isn't fast enough / the critical path is too long for how fast the fpga is going to go

And while not necessarily being unsynthesizable, a lot of tools like Vivado will heavily optimize the HDL, meaning if you forget to connect a part of the HDL to the output or do something with it, it will be removed from the design.

Whether someone is transgender or not has nothing to do with whether they decide to physically transition. As well, a person's "actual gender" is the one felt deeply as a part of themselves, not based the sex they were assigned at birth.
nobodywasishere··on Cooklang – Managing Recipes in Git
There is a recipe schema[1] that the Nextcloud app Cookbook[2] uses for adding recipes just by pasting a URL. Not every website supports this though.
