From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn’t been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn’t appear to be particularly active on that product.

should be poofed out of existence

This means something very specific in the UK.

I think this is very clever, a great idea. I also think someone is going to figure out how to turn on iphones via NFC and upload malware of some kind.

shakes head in Brexit

It’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/

Because the first thing Nero does when he arrives back in time is destroy the USS Kelvin (the ship where Kirk’s father is killed), and thus setting that universe off onto its new timeline. It could have been called anything, but someone decided on that one thing.

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I can’t access that (Reddit blocked in DNS), care to summarise?

I had no idea! That’s mental.

Self host RustDesk if you need an alternative.

I think that’s a bit over simplified. Do you think they’d be able to understand Shakespeare? Or a spell book from the same time as Shakespeare? There’s a reason we continue to teach English until a child leaves secondary/high school.

I think the OP meant that if they all stopped learning maths at 10, and there was no English class at Hogwarts, they probably stopped learning to read at 10 as well (well, the Muggles anyway, there’s no mention of how the Wizards learn anything before 11 I don’t think?).

There’s Karma on Lemmy?

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

“first time player”

He is not, he’s just young.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

There’s a bit of nuance here. Mad cow disease (BSE) was a big deal, yes, but vCJD (the human form) was not prevalent - as of a few years ago, I think there was less than 200 cases in the UK, and less than 250 cases worldwide - ever. As it can be dormant for decades they believe, it’s why the UK population and visitors at those times is not allowed. Keep in mind, in the UK we do still donate blood - we don’t have to import it from elsewhere. But as it’s such a horrific disease, it’s easier to just say “No one from the UK can donate blood.” it’s not like it would impact other countries blood supplies, and keeps them a bit safer.
