@thor A device like a Pixel should be all AOSP and have support for a long time via updates or a custom OS. I think OnePlus has some older devices that are well supported by custom OSs too.

I would say that Android is as much of a prison as iOS. Apple just designed a better prison and didn't rely on third parties to make what they thought was acceptable. Android has progressively grown more hostile to FLOSS while the rely on the Linux Kernel.

@thor @evelyn I think Oslo had the Rape Tunnel or Stabbing Tunnel.

@thor @evelyn I knew a somewhat infamous criminal from Oslo. He lives a peaceful and honest life now.

@thor @evelyn I hope that you consider having to set broken bones as an inconvenience too. I got injured and had to set my own broken bones. At least I had sutures in case I needed them. Military aid kits are the shit and I still carry at least a basic kit. I also carry a leather wallet because it helps prevent damage to the teeth.

Homelessness gave me additional issues from preexisting PTSD and I still have issues from it. Physically I am in exceptional condition for my age. I still drop when I hear explosions and find cover when I hear unexpected gunfire. The cruelty that people show to homeless people but they rescue animals from inhumane conditions.

I'm not going to talk about it anymore.

@thor @evelyn Being close to death after waking up in 120F heat. Having to walk with a heavy rucksack after getting a liter of two of piss warm water. Walking with a splitting headache and confusion from the remaining heat stroke symptoms. Walking a few kilometers only to get degraded by people and having to keep calm. That's less than an hour of the experience.

There are similar stories but in below freezing temperatures. I can't include everything and I maintain that words cannot describe the experience.

@thor @evelyn I've been homeless a few times in my life. I've never told anyone what it was like. Going back to programming will be a better option. Do whatever you have to and don't become homeless. There aren't words to describe it or how it changes people.

@thor They could always burn their crops and salt the land as a last resort. They might all starve but Russia is too poor to buy food especially if it were to suddenly rocket in value.

@freemo I see where the inspiration for Ace of Spades comes from now.

@Diptchip It can only fire for a few seconds or the barrels will cook. If it is on target, it should only need a fraction of that. A very weird aircraft that can take out nearly any target and take direct hits without going down. Built around the GAU and tub.

@josemanuel
I'm of the opinion that AC isn't healthy for us in most circumstances. I don't use AC much in the summer so I wake up drenched but I'm more acclimated to the heat. I try to not let the temperature rise above 27C. Newtonian Heating/Cooling. Outside it can be around 35C and 70% humidity.
AC is necessary as heat waves can kill. A week ago it was 40.6C with the Heat Index at 45C. The human body can survive and thrive in extreme environments but it takes approximately 2 months to adjust fully.

The short answer to the question is that it isn't possible to have comfortable or safe temperatures without AC unless one would like to go 2 or 3 meters underground. Ice cubes help get a drink from the temperature of urine to room temperature faster.

@RikaDerufu Too much obsession with getting a release. Drop and do 100 pushups to get your head straight. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

@inference @divVerent @thor @straw Tell you how you would know? I wouldn't know how you would know. RISC-V is Open Source Licensed so a company can make a custom RISC-V processor without being sued. There is the difference in ISA. There are quite a few ways to figure out if it isn't what it is claimed to be.

The Titan M2 is not a pure RISC-V design but a custom design based on the RISC-V architecture. You should add RISC-V to your cult members because it is Open Source.

So why do you have such a negative view of FLOSS? I'm curious.

@inference @divVerent @thor The RISC-V based module was the M2.

@inference @divVerent @thor The Titan module that is RISC-V based?

@thendrix The battshit conspiracies and Crystal Methodists have been on the rise lately.

@divVerent @thor @inference That sounds pretty supportive of FLOSS. The statements about Windows and Apple are just mockery. Running from problems seems to be the path that both have taken but I will give Apple credit where it is due. When they swapped to the M1 it left me confused as to why. A mostly homogeneous ecosystem is going to be easier to maintain, optimize and provide a good experience. It's a pretty slick move by Apple.

The statement about Android being considered secure enough was only referring to Samsung devices with Knox being approved by the DoD for some applications. I don't think it lasted long.

@freemo Nice.

@lupyuen It sounds very promising.
