Wow, what a short-sighted view. Android, despite its many shortcomings, gives you orders of magnitude more freedom in almost every way imaginable. And none of its shortcomings are blocking you from using it, rather more or less annoy you.

Linux is fucking awesome
Reply in thread
Yes, com ports work way better than in windows. I've done a lot of embedded development on linux and it's way more pleasant than in windows. One thing you do have to keep in mind is that access to com ports (USB and real) requires root access by default, but once you've set the udev rule up, it becomes accesible to normal users and/or group of users. After that, it works flawlessly. Android dev also works great and imo better than on win. Proprietary jtags may be an issue, but I've never actually had an unsolvable situation.

Amazon Fire Sticks enable “billions of dollars” worth of streaming piracy

Nothing. What people think and say is jail breaking is actually side loading custom android apps, which is actually already part of android. Amazon IMO made it more difficult than it's supposed to be. I installed vlc and stremio and use it alongside all the other apps. Nothing groundbreaking nor illegal. That's not jailbreaking, it's using Android the way it's designed to be used.

Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns in hot mic comments
Reply in thread
US is like a bully. But a huge, strong, armed bully, which is now also crazy and looks unpredictable. I doubt the rest of Nato, especially this castrated, limp EU would do anything to protect Canada. They would frown and condemn the us verbally, but probably watch from afar. That's my impression at least.

You really don't know Moldova, or easter Europe then. Most people don't even know about furries and their first reaction is not going to be positive. People are cautious about new and strange things and ultimately get scared of them. They look at this as preserving what is normal to them. I'm sorry, most of the world is conservative, not progressive.

Serbia’s prime minister and Novi Sad mayor resign as anti-corruption protests grow
Reply in thread
Nah, not gonna happen. People think even this is a trick leading into new fixed elections and a try at dispelling the protests without consequences.

Major anti-corruption protests in Serbia add to pressure on President Vučić
I'd just like to add that the students/people have no official support from ANY EU, USA or Russian officials and, unlike with Milošević, are fighting this fight alone. It is going to be very hard to win. Opposing parties have been weakened and slandered throughout the years, so fair elections are currently not possible. Almost all media is still controlled by the regime, so chances of any alternatives arising are small. But there's no stopping now. I hope there won't be any (further) casualties, but some sort of physical confrontation is not going to be a huge surprise. So far, the students have resisted any violence and any provocation of it. Wish us luck.

More Rust Code Is Coming For Linux 6.14 Along With Hitting Another "Major Milestone"
As a rust developer, I'm biased, but I think it might be a great thing, if done properly. I've also done some kernel dev a while back and it's full of kernel-specific macros and conventions and boilerplate code. It would at least improve readability and reduce some boilerplate as well as improve on some common security bugs. But seeing as how different C is in kernel context to regular application, this may be the same for Rust, in which case I hope the devs know what they're doing, because it can easily get out of hand.

Before You Criticize People Who Bought Bambu
Reply in thread
I f-in knew it from the start. I kept telling everyone. But it's hard to listen when every youtuber and their mom switched to bambu. I don't like Prusa all that much either, but they are A LOT better than bambu. So I blame Bambu, but also YouTubers and influencers who started peddling them from the start. I'll stock up on E3d v6 hotends and generic extruders while they are still available.

Here’s our first look at Volkswagen’s cheapest EV, with prices starting at about $20,000
2026? Are they mad? Renault and stellantis already have cheaper models, not to mention Koreans and Chinese. Very late to the party for VW.

In terms of being open source and maintaining that model. Also having some of the parts actually be 3d printed. Other than that, I don't know, Ive never owned one, never used one. It is too expensive for me for the features it has. Also xl seems to be a unique thing. Too expensive, though.
As for flashing the Prusa, I don't follow Prusa, so I didn't know about that one, but voiding a warranty vs locking you out isn't the same thing really. Though I wouldn't consider it a good move, I understand it somewhat.
If I was buying a new printer, which I won't, I'd go for a Sovol SV08, which is somewhat of a Voron clone.

Yes, but the amount he sacrificed is less than a pawn, if you were to compare it to chess. It's totally irrelevant that the guy is prime minister no longer, as it was just a phony position anyway.

Yes, the real question is - to whom was it worth the effort? To imperialists that play for world resource domination - maybe. For people - no. On both sides - no.

The retro EV resurgence is in full swing, as Citroen confirms the iconic 2CV will return with batteries
Renault seems to be doing good with their new lineup. Stellantis on the other hand - not as much. I don't know of a single model of ev of theirs I would want to buy if I were rich enough to buy a new car. I thought maybe fiat grande panda, but it is priced exactly the same as Citroen EC3 and in that segment, it's not appealing to me at all. All of their cars share the platform with an ICE car, which includes the grande panda. They are simply not competing with Renault at this point. I hope 2CV will change that, but who knows when it's even gonna be available.

Yes no one cares, but then a big company announces they will not serve people in animal costumes. Then people go - makes sense, it's weird anyway. I've never seen a person in animal costume in person, not even as a mascot or on a kid's birthday. It's just not a thing here. And I'm from Serbia, it's provably even rarer in Moldova. I would find it weird if someone explicitly said they will deny them service. It's like denying service to dinosaurs, it's odd. It is a good cheap marketing though.

Mine too. I had to compile the drivers for a win modem (popularly called linmodem). Then switched to mandrake, mandriva, then Ubuntu 6 or 7, whichever came via mail for free.
