Those aren’t modules in of themselves, more like plugin frameworks for hooking into the Android kernel/deep system functions that others can write plugins for.

LSposed can do more “cool stuff” but it’s also a much bigger pain to keep it hidden from root detectors. I occasionally use an app called Card Emulator Pro that allows me to duplicate and then emulate any NFC card I tap to it that needs an LSposed module to work

Magisk Modules, can do less but is much easier to keep root hidden, most of my MM are for hiding root (like playcurl) but I particularly like isodrive for being able to use my phone to store and use bootable ISO images

As someone who used to change ROMs and kernels almost weekly back in the day (when I had more time lmao), honestly, not really.

Stock android already provides so much these days that used to take a custom ROM to obtain. And what isn’t, can be provided via a LSposed module or Magisk Module, which is MUCH easier to handle than a full tilt custom ROM

There’s, one, exception though. If you want a custom ROM for a specific purpose then there might still be some utility there. Like GrapheneOS for privacy focus

In the end, everything becomes crab Linux

You’d think Intel would see it the same way, but no, they’ve done shit like literally just move a couple pins around to justify a new socket LMAO

Don’t you dare tease me with a good time!

Seriously tho, props to AMD for not changing the socket every other proc just for shits and giggles to make line go up. Fucking Intel.

We’re all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol

Under that is the “Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse” that is what would be “link aggregator” type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.

While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there’s no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user

@[email protected] listen here you little shit

Linus has entered the chat

I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn’t of them being in space or doing any of the “tourism” parts, but of them being “so grateful to be on the ground” because they couldn’t “handle it”

The sentiment is valid, but being as closed as an iPhone is quite an exaggeration. You can’t even use a different keyboard on an iPhone let alone a different launcher or lock screen lol

Yea, average time is something like every 5-7 years for hardware refreshes, so we’re right on time lol

Much quicker, I think they were talking like July lol

LMAO, you’re not alone, most of my hardware is still on 1gig even though my ISP is providing 2.5gigs to my pfsense box. I upgraded the WAN port for it and then “getting around to the rest of it” for ~6 months now 🤣

I’m actually on the P9PF rn myself since release so coming up on a year

Yea the SoC has been a disappointment, not terrible, but not good either. The first couple weeks were rough for battery life until the optimizations kicked in lol

Cameras are always on the “as long as they’re there” list for me LMAO but I have quite enjoyed the optical zooming on it lolol

It’s been pretty reliable for me IMO, but I also only unfold when I’m doing something that actually benefits from it, in contrast with my Dad who got a Samsuck fold who has to unfold it ALL the time because “The front screen sucks to use” LMAO so I figure his will probably break before mine just for that

Overall, for a Google 2nd gen product, id say it’s decent and probably the best out of the options I could get on T-Mobile in the states lol but there’s absolutely room for improvement

It’s never going to be the year of the Linux phone until there’s one that actually has specs to do the things the majority of people want

Thus far, all the Linux phones I’ve seen had laughable specs. There’s the Liberux NEXX, but it’s still at the concept stage

It’s called DNS tunneling it’s typically used for data exfiltration tactics, but it’s also great if you’re desperate to punch through even the toughest paid WiFi paywalls to Google something really quick slow because you fucked something up on your phone lmao

Piefed has gone from being rarely if ever even mentioned at all to, in just the last few days, being mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times a day in threads on virtually any topic, makes me highly suspicious.

You make interesting points, but for this specific thing, it almost certainly has to do with the .ee shutdown which was announced just a few days ago, apparently PieFed has fantastic comm transfer tooling so that’s why it’s probably been exploding in discussions since .ee has a number of large comms that are trying to figure out their next steps

Can confirm, used DNS proxying to bypass cruise ship WiFi paywall once. It worked, but god damn did it send me into dialup flashback lmao

Courage the Cowardly Dog Meme‽ Upvote

I don’t know why there’s not more up take with it, there’s so many memeable moments IMO lol
