Linux's DRM Panic "Screen of Death" Sees Patches For QR Code Error Messages
  • For anyone curious, the preview image contains this link

    The trace seems to be part of the request. It's only using digits to encode; I wonder why not at least base64

    Discussion: Is Android going in the right direction?
  • I miss the old split screen feature. It was far more useful compared to the new "app pairs" thing. Mostly happy (edit: that nothing has changed) otherwise

    The Response to Google's 7 Year Pixel Update Promise is Getting Weird
  • For real I was going to say this reads like a Google marketing AstroTurf. Just watched the linked MKBHD video and it's not unfair; definitely not "weird"

    Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music
  • I saw this coming when GPM shutdown and podcasts migrated to Google Podcasts. The GPM podcasts were already bugged before that due to lack of attention. Very happy I bailed out for AntennaPod way back then!

    what are your personal pieces of advice to minimize gender dysphoria without outing yourself?
  • I saw some ideas recently in a similar post: could try improving your skin care routine, wearing sunscreen, putting on body lotion after shower, paint nails, get ears pierced, etc. I'll try to find this other post I'm thinking of

    PSA: Many Lemmy instances are currently experiencing massive automated sign-ups (bots)! If you run an instance with open sign-ups, please read!
  • Fwiw the captcha support in lemmy is probably going away soon. It needs to be reimplemented into another database table (or something like that) anyway. Given that it is too hard for many humans, too easy for many bots, and devs are slammed with work, makes more sense to delete as a first step

    Why are custom roms so much device specific while any linux distro works on any pc?
  • It took a lot of work to get PC parts to become interoperable. There's all kinds of special negotiations that happen at boot to discover the state of hardware. There are standard drivers for most peripherals

    Mobile devices aren't expected to change hardware so everything is hard-coded into the ROM. No discovery protocols are supported. Standardized drivers make it hard to ship new features or squeeze every last bit of performance so no effort goes into making them
