mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Tech, FOSS, Linux and more!
Coding with AI is like being a tech priest and asking the 'machine spirit' to do the magic.
You might understand what it does, but the generations that come after you might as well light incense and chant incantations in hope it will fix its own bugs.
@claudiom@bsd.network That's great, would use it on our old 2010 MacBook air. I installed the linux and just can't get the MacOS back. Tried recovery, etc. Seems the bootloader is janked
There are so many things I'd like to customize on my Android phone. It was possible already with old Symbian and first Androids. Yeah sure, they removed these and easy rooting for user "safety". But I'd still like to:
- Customize the top status bar, force it to show all icons (data, nfc, wifi).
- Customize date format.
- Use AOD to mimic notification diode effect.
- Cleanup all app caches at the same time.
Since I have Samsung, can't try GrapheneOS. Should I go for a Pixel next time?

Praise the Omnissiah for every game that is not made in Unreal Engine 5!
@mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe Finally installed gemini browser again! Wow thanks for writing about this, I was not aware this condition exists!
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io Well they declare themselves as communists, but their economy is hard-core capitalist.
They basically don't have unions and work laws definitely not as worker oriented as in the West.
So what do you run on your phone. Is it GrapheneOS (or similar) or you put up with stock Android/iOS?
I'm the latter, but I miss more control. Everyone running Linux or something else has my respect.
We regulated and while we were at it, we regulated some more ...
1 commit and 1 merge commit will be added to main (squashes 86 commits)
Colleague: wtf?
Me: Don't ask, just approve the MR pls
@claudiom@bsd.network I'm bit afraid to do that tbh 😅. We're still using it and don't have a handy replacement.
@claudiom@bsd.network Yeah I did, but it stops after the first restart, bumps me back to the bootloader and nothing happens :(
