I was confused about this also, I've been using GameNative on a pixel 10 on and off since I got mine in October. Maybe compatibility just got a lot better because of fixing GPU drivers? I did notice a lot of games had issues but I assumed that applied to anything that doesn't use snapdragon

It depends. I run GrapheneOS and it can pass everything except the most strict integrity check (which is just that you're using a custom ROM at all).

In practice most apps don't have any problems. Google assistant doesn't really work for me but I've seen posts saying people have gotten it working. Google wallet and Google Pay are also explicitly blocked by google, so they will never work.

I think the reason GrapheneOS never did a GSI is because most of their security improvements rely on specific hardware calls that GSI abstractions don't provide access to. This probably would still be an improvement over lineage though, just not as secure as base Graphene is.

My point is that US citizens could remove their criminal president

If it were as simple as people just deciding to remove him then he would have been impeached in 2018 and again in 2020 and then sent to jail

Nevertheless, U.S. citizens act as if that were not the reality.

Again, where are you getting that? The people that are not aware of how much of a criminal Trump is aren't using a platform created with the purpose of taking power away from big tech.

Every day I worry about what idiotic thing the US government is going to do next. And every day I worry about how establishment democrats are going to use republicans as an excuse to shift their politics to the right. I am painfully aware about how the US is making the world worse, and so are most of the people I interact with.

Pretty sure any Americans willing to go out of their way to use a niche FOSS platform like Lemmy are already aware of this and trying to make change in the little ways they can. You're kind of preaching to the choir. If you want to reach anyone go to facebook or Twitter or reddit (where your post will then be deleted by a power tripping mod)

Edit: also for clarity, how do you know this isn't public knowledge in the US? Have you been there? If so, where? It's not like all 300 million people in the US have the same viewpoints.

If not, I can tell you right now that our national politics are ultimately decided by a few thousand people in the most rural parts of the country who barely know what the internet is. If you look in places like NYC or Minneapolis or Seattle then you will get a much different picture of what people think than in Texas or Florida. People do what they can but when you have the entire government and billionaires against you it isn't exactly easy to make changes that people see on the other side of the world.

The work-life balance is otherwise pretty good and my manager/direct coworkers are chill 🤷

Otherwise I would have lost motivation a long time ago

That's the thing though. Even if the code is good, the plans are good, the outputs are good, etc, it still devolves into chaos after some time.

If you use AI to generate a bunch of code you then don't internalize it as if you wrote it. You miss out on reuse patterns and implementation details which are harder to catch in review than they are in implementation. Additionally, you don't have anyone who knows the code like the back of their hand because (even if supervised) a person didn't write the code, they just looked over it for correctness, and maybe modified it a little bit.

It's the same reason why sometimes handwritten notes can be better for learning than typed notes. Yeah one is faster, but the intentionality of slowing down and paying attention to little details goes a long way making code last longer.

There's maybe something to be said about using LLMs as a sort of sanity check code reviewer to catch minor mistakes before passing it on to a real human for actual review, but I definitely see it as harmful for anything actually "generative"

As someone who has to sift through other people's LLM code every day at my job I can confirm it has definitely not gotten better in the past three months

DNA isn't perfect either though. It's possible to be AMAB with XX chromosomes and AFAB with XY chromosomes (both still having the "correct" fully functional organs for their assigned gender). Some intersex people can also have multiple sets of DNA, some being XX and some being XY.

Neatly fitting all cases of biology into 2 categories like that is basically impossible anyway regardless of how you do it. "Biologically male/female" is basically impossible to define without also excluding some people that were born into each category. They're fundamentally useless terms that don't actually convey anything meaningful..

What does your happiness have to do with anything I said?

[–] Zangoose@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So what you're saying is that you already disowned your sister for her religious views, but you regret that and want her to come back... by converting her back to Muslim beliefs? You don't see the hypocrisy in that? You already seem to care about her more than your religion, otherwise you wouldn't be making this post.

It seems like you're unwilling to accept a decision she's already made. If your family cares more about maintaining strict religious beliefs than accepting your own sister, you'll be causing her more pain by continuously trying to convert her back. If all you're doing is trying to absolve yourself from any guilt by saying you tried, then you might as well give up now. That's just your own selfishness and won't change her beliefs.

It's not like being an atheist means someone will instantly have no morals. In fact, it's usually the opposite. If someone needs the threat of eternal damnation to motivate themself to do good things, I'm sorry but they probably aren't a good person to begin with.

I'm working on switching over to NixOS on my desktop and one of the last things I haven't got fully working is my neovim config. My LSP's are able to start, and all of them work fine except for clangd. For some reason, it can't find C/C++ header files for any installed libraries. I have all of the LSPs themselves installed through Mason in Neovim, and I have programs.nix-ld.enable = true enabled so they can be run correctly.

Here is the shell.nix file I'm using for this project:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell.override { stdenv = pkgs.gccStdenv; } {
  nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs.buildPackages; [
    glibc libgcc
    clang-tools libclang
    SDL2 SDL2_image SDL2_sound
  ]; 
  CPATH = pkgs.lib.makeSearchPathOutput "dev" "include" pkgs.glibc pkgs.SDL2 pkgs.SDL2_Image pkgs.SDL2_sound;
}

Is there something extra I need to do to get clangd to find the C headers being used by the project? when I actually run gcc it compiles fine, it just can't seem to find them correctly in Neovim

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using this shell with direnv and launching nvim directly from the same shell that I'm compiling from

 

I have a virtual source and a virtual sink which I'm using to forward audio to/from chat apps (Matrix, Discord, Zoom, etc.) so I can control the mic/output volume independently of everything else on my system. I have them setup and working fine using pipewire.conf.d files. The problem is that using wpctl to change volume requires having an ID, but those aren't static. Normally the solution would be to use @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SOURCE@ (or sink), but that wouldn't work in this case. Is there a way to adjust volume/toggle mute without having the ID? Or alternatively, is there a way to get the ID for a specific node name that I can put in a bash script?

If I'm asking this in the wrong place, is there a better place to go?

My bytes.programming.dev's main feed is erroring again. It looks like everything else is loading fine, I just can't see anything on the timeline for some reason. Is it the same DB issue that was happening last time?

EDIT: I just checked and it seems like it's back

 

Not really sure if there is a better place to put this, but is bytes.programming.dev having issues for anyone else? I can log in but my timeline doesn't load at all.
