Do people still get fined for jaywalking in the likes of NY?
Cool, i'm guessing this bot thing makes it easier to follow and contribute to lemmy comment threads from Mastodon?
Damn this is unfortunate, but I can see where Valve is coming from with this one.
Keeping afloat in Argentina and Turkey must be pretty challenging if the currency is that unstable, I wonder how expensive things are for the residents
You can get dev/debug builds from their official GitHub https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk#downloads
On the repo page, tap the "Magisk Debug" button that looks like this:
If the image above doesn't show, the button is half dark gray and half orange. Took me a while to notice it, so thought could try save some time lol.
My response might be a hot take π₯²
Personally:
- OSS: source available
- FOSS: Free (freedom) open source, copyleft
I just learned today about "Grayjay," a video streaming service client app created by Louis Rossmann. Various aticles out there are billing it as "Open Source" or "FOSS". It's not. Grayjay's license doesn't allowe commercial redistribution or derivative works. Its source code is available to the general public, but that's far from sufficient to qualify as "Open Source." (That article even claims "GrayJay is an open-source app, which means that users are free to alter it to meet their specific needs," but Grayjay's license grants no license to create modified versions at all.)
I had a look through the license at launch, and also watched the entirety of Louis' video, in both of which I didn't come across any restrictions imposed on an end user to modify the app for their own needs or redistribution - just no commercial redistribution or redistribution with ill intent. I keep seeing the restrictions mentioned though and genuinely cannot find anything to back them up...
In the original launch video Louis does explicitly state that the app is not free, but he does erroneously refer to it as open source. Mainstream tech outlets conflating foss/source-available is likely down to journalists just not aware of the distinction, or just taking his word for it
IMO since the app is Louis' project that is primarily being financed by donating his personal money to FUTO (AFAICT) it would be immediately obvious to a follower of his that the app is not going to be open source as per the OSI definition. Looking at what happened with NewPipe clones when he mentioned it on his channel, and bad actors in local governments sabotaging his attempts to get a bulletproof R2R passed in many states, his overall trust level is probably pretty low - the last thing someone like that would want on a personal project is loads of strangers contributing, bad actors ripping it off trying to make a quick buck, or even worse redistributing it with malware.
Leaving the OSS conflation aspect for a second, Grayjay is a very big and complex app, with integrated dev tools and a comprehensive plugin system (each are individually GPL licensed if i'm not mistaken). IMO chances are if someone wants to modify the app, they should be looking at a GPL plugin to introduce their functionality in, rather than modifying the source - as would be required with something like NewPipe. They have a whole youtube video going through how to develop a plugin, and how it's architected.
If/when Grayjay is transitioned to FOSS, I imagine it'll be difficult for the community to maintain it due to the complexity... It'll probably need to be broken down into several smaller manageable parts, such as projects like Home Assistant, LibreOffice, and Node-Red. Something like NewPipe, which is literally just the Android app and extractor library, would be much easier for unpaid volunteer contributors to maintain IMO.
I personally disagree slightly with the current definition of "open source", because it hides so much nuance that isn't readily evident to someone unfamiliar with the community. A lot of people do not make the connection of "open source" = OSI, they think "open source" = source is out in the open. FOSS and FLOSS are way more explicit in meaning from my perspective
I'm assuming you're using Android 14.
Do you actually see your lockscreen or your launcher, or are you just dumped to a "Android is Starting" dialog after the boot animation goes? I'd try to get an adb logcat up to see what the device is doing/gotten stuck on, but you would have needed to authorize your device beforehand...
Are you using Magisk for root or riru? Seeing as you're using a very recent version of Android, I'd say try a dev build of Magisk and see if that works any better. I would have also suggested using an older version of magisk that doesn't exploit via zygote injection, but your version of android is too new. Have a poke around on the github Issues tab and see if anyone else has gotten stuck with the same issue as you.
Another thing would be to try changing your phone's boot slot in fastboot (don't flash, just change slot) - maybe something for the zygote injection is missing from the boot slot your device defaulted to?
Before finding out about Backblaze I still did file backups to disc lol. Now the only time I touch a disc is when it's being ripped π
Pretty much my experience when using piped on my desktop, quick to resolve so not too much of an issue.
On the other side of things, my partner got tired of that and now uses FreeTube (which falls back to Invidious on failure IIRC)
Portable and pretty budget, a G29 + arduino with a large LCD to show live dashboard data, head tracking with OpenTrack + PS3 Eye webcam (extremely versatile camera, pretty handy for machine vision with its 120FPS support. Only downside is 640x480 max res, and the 4x array mics only work on Linux)
Only outlier is stick shift running via the Arduino for a few reasons, mainly to reduce wires and setup/packing time (need my desk for other things too, sadly can't afford a permanent rig), and also to avoid mapping the gears in new games. I just switch between usb emulation of a known device, or sending keypresses 1-6, R
The last time I used Chrome was a fork called Rockmelt π₯΄ then moved to Maxthon, then K-Meleon, and settled on Firefox
