It's fairly important to keep it private for US citizens, see here.

I'm with you on this, it seems he reached out, then just addressed the points raised in the blog? It feels like doing it this way is better than writing a shit-post blog rebuttal? The blogger then reposted their emails as well without asking permission, which, depending on jurisdiction might be questionable.

I feel this whole post/scenario has been elevated to nothing from nothing.

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.

Best city and people in the UK if you ask me.

I'm always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

I never had any issues with my 5 and multitouch. Also, the battery was incredible.

First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about...20-25 years so far I guess :-p

Exactly. I keep hearing this "they're taking our jobs" argument, and it's been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it's been generally an upward trend.

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.

I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

this looks fairly generic to me. Alien killing humans in space. I don't see what's new? Admittedly watched it on phone on a bus.

I know a guy who just says he stacks shelves at Tesco as he cannot be bothred to explain 😂

It's the best characteristic of English, I think. It's alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

"a nudge?" on a fucking motorway? JFC peoples misunderstanding of physics is terrfiying.

Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, who moved to Canada and then moved to the US.

It's not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is...fine...but I've not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.

shakes head in Brexit

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