- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 2 days ago:
It implies that it’s the GNU stuff I care about (just as much as the kernel). But e.g. systemd is not GNU. And let me tell you, it is really cool to have systemd on your phone, write your own services.

No. A kid discovered this and as the responsible adult: we do not touch mushrooms we know nothing about. Why, what info would that have given me?

Thanks. “Scarlet elf cup”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoscypha_coccinea
Most pics look different but further down there’s a pretty good match.
- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 2 days ago:
Sounds like plain old stupidity to me. Unwillingness to learn. Often stronger in “main character syndrome” people than in others. I guess Darwinism will sort it out.
- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 2 days ago:
OTOH I surely am the main character of my own life. I guess there’s different ways of interpreting that phrase. I don’t think I have so-called main character syndrome.

- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 2 days ago:
“Linux” is usually used as a term for the operating system based on the kernel. Look up “pars pro toto”.
Mr Stallman tried to remedy that by telling us all to call it GNU/Linux. He’s not wrong (even the license, the GPL, is GNU) but it still isn’t the whole picture. Also I’m sure some Rust fans will tell you that a revolution is underway replacing venerable GNU tools with new, alround Just Better™ versions.
So, a Linux phone is one that is internally a Linux operating system. The difference (to Android) is worldview-shattering. Just like with your other Linux machines, you are in control and not $CORPO.

The protocol is called CalDAV (and CardDAV for contacts).
Plenty applications exist that can do it on both sides - it’s not like you need a specific client app that fits your specific server app.
FWIW, I find NextCloud too bloated and prefer Radicale for the above mentioned.
And yes, it runs in Docker.

Look, I don’t want to downplay the very serious impact climate change already has on the so-called global South, but this does not track:
Giant Cracks Are Swallowing African Cities Whole
vs
Gigantic cracks known as gullies are opening up in cities in Africa, swallowing up homes and businesses
- Comment on Chicken of the Woods 1 week ago:
I did not cook them before frying them! And yeah they might have been too old.
You did not fry them, otoh? Cooked in water and did not use the water? Did they really taste like chicken?
- Comment on Chicken of the Woods 1 week ago:
I probably got it from some sort of pine tree, that could’ve had an impact on the taste.
- Comment on Default Settings Are Eating The World 1 week ago:
It’s started to feel to me over the past few months that one of the most insidious things about daily life is the way the average person is pushed away from making informed choices, and is instead driven towards choosing the default options which are by-and-large worse for themselves and the people around them. If the “default settings” of our lives were more often a net-positive for ourselves then this wouldn’t be so much of an issue, but currently we sit in a place where “going with the flow” will inevitably leave us worse off.
Each decision we make, especially complicated ones that require a level of additional research or insight, incur a mental tax. No one can be perfectly informed enough and have the level of mental presence to fight their way through all of them. Even if you’re aware of these decisions and have a desire to choose better alternatives, it simply isn’t possible for you to keep up with them all. Eventually you will choose a default choice because it’s easy, because it’s being sold to you, because you weren’t aware that an alternative was available to you. This will make your life worse because the default options are worse.
They’re right of course, but I will hold against that that you can also get used to your own default settings, they become second nature. Which then sometimes feels weird when e.g. I see other people browsing the net without an adblocker (masochists). Or when I realise that other people do not look at the smaller price per kg label when shopping or don’t read the ingredients - it just feels off. Because my own default settings are different.

I’m like 90% sure this is the same a friend told me people used to eat “like chicken”. I took some large pieces with me and fried them up. They tasted horrible.

- Comment on Romm + Knulli (anbernic) handhelds? 1 week ago:
That must be the most cryptic title I’ve seen on Lemmy today.
Romm + Knulli sounds like the name of a little known German 1970s children’s show that later earned cult status.
- Comment on The school shooting industry is worth billions — and it keeps growing 1 week ago:
Inside the school safety conference, vendors in an expo hall showcase panic buttons, bullet-resistant whiteboards, facial recognition technology, training simulators, body armor, guns and tasers.
I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall there. I’m sure it would have tickled my sick sense of humor. I mean, the actual solution has been obvious for how many decades now?
- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 1 week ago:
This is from the artist’s pov, but of course it makes every Spotify user’s experience worse.
And what I hate most is that they don’t even understand what I’m talking about. That they’re being duped, and that I have more freedom in choosing and discovering music than them.
So many people think solely in genres nowadays, instead of artists. And they don’t even care if more and more generic or AI generated stuff finds its way into their playlists. They “adapt”. After all, they only put stuff they like into their playlists, right? But unknowingly, gently, they keep getting pulled towards a trodden path and if this goes on long enough we’ll have like 10 genres to choose from and that’s it. No individual artists anymore, no experimentation, no challenging your listening habits etc.

Yet at the same time Alphabet products are being used everywhere in often critical infrastructure.
I really wish the EU would do more about their pretty promises of strengthening their own.
- Comment on EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine 1 week ago:
Holy crap. I thought you must have that wrong, probably meant revenue, but no, it really is Alphabet’s net profit according to DDG.
This in itself is enough reason that this company must die. Not that the EU will ever achieve that.
