There’s also a nifty optimization detail that was included originally in Breath of the Wild to deal with memory constraints, and eventually weaved as both a core part of the plot and a balance mechanic: the Red Moon phenomenon, that resets the state of the overworld at regular intervals. The developers originally explained that at the first stages of development, they had to deal with the fact that the game would eventually run out of RAM while tracking the status of every single enemy, so they decided to add a way to clear the slate, and settled for one of the best ways to integrate it in the lore of the game - explaining it to be caused by the malice of Ganon making all the slain creatures go back to life. And in an open-world game with weapon degradation, it’s highly appreciated to have a reliable source of additional weaponry, simply by waiting for the next Red Moon to defeat a few more enemies and take their weapons. I doubt that degradation would have stuck in the game if it weren’t for the Red Moon making the pull-and-push of resource management balanced - without it, there would be a point in the game where Link would have exhausted all available sources of weaponry and be doomed to play the pacifist for potentially the rest of the game.

Not sure whether this implementation will be lighter on resources than what Lemmy currently uses. Given the overhead of the JVM though, it’s unlikely it will be supported by, say, a single Raspberry Pi

In a similar fashion, it would be great to find a way to migrate your post history, not just your followers, between one service and another. So far it’s possible to request a backup, but only a few services allow importing said backup, let alone import a backup from a different provider (so far only Firefish, Pixelfed and its derivatives allow for the latter).

If you want to read the gritty-nitty of how exactly was the Widevine blob patched and worked around specifically to not violate the DMCA, here’s the specific article

Either you plug a wired microphone each time you receive a call, or you explicitly do not receive calls with the device and use it as a tablet basically.

GrapheneOS requires specific safety hardware that, as of now, is usually available only on the Google Pixel line of phones. If your standard smartphone doesn’t include it, I doubt a car does.

I’d love to move to mainstream Misskey, but there’s a core reason why I’m using Firefish at the moment, namely the ability to actually import my old posts from Mastodon. To my knowledge, pretty much nothing supports importing posts in the Fediverse, except for Firefish and forks, Friendica and forks (to an extent), and PixelFed.

…and makes playing Destiny 2 impossible, unfortunately.

I would have played on Linux a bit more if I had enough space on my partition. Good thing I recently updated to 2 terabytes!

Hopefully that’s the case! And hopefully somebody steps in legally in case the new developers decide to just ignore the GPL terms.

If all the developers of the GPLv3 version agree to relicense their contributions, it’s unfortunately possible to close-source further versions of the source code. Does somebody know if Simple Apps accepted external contributions?

I mean, a fork is indeed possible and in progress. But the main version on the Google Play Store will almost certainly be no longer open-source.

If the next version is close-sourced, that means that it won’t be published in the repository that F-Droid follows to build their version. Yeah I think you’re safe.

Unless you use the Play Store version, in which case the tainted new versions will be coming any time soon.

Personally, the current environment has led me to avoid most of the popular culture instead.

Can FlorisBoard implement the same thing? As a Spanish/English user, having both keyboard predictions available at once has become vital for my workflow

At least it seems like you can still do a backup, re-lock the bootloader, apply for an upgrade, then unlock the bootloader again and restore the backup - right?

Is there a way to lock the bootloader and keep a ROM different from the one the device shipped with? Or do I need to relock and reunlock every time I need to update the custom ROM, with all the data loss this implies?

Here’s the point, he probably should not be replaced as-is. His trademark stubbornness has gotten the free software community in trouble before, and while admittedly that same stubbornness is what has allowed the FSF to persist in the face of corporate attacks over the years, that same stubbornness has also prevented the FSF from having a firmer standing in the software community, due to its own ideological purism and reluctance to collaborate with less strict actors like the Open Source Foundation. During the time where Stallman was temporarily banned from the FSF, I could see an ideological move towards leniency. Before Stallman left, they kept complaining about users that didn’t quit the entirety of proprietary software cold-turkey (and socially isolated themselves as a direct result). After Stallman left, though, they started to go for an approach they call the “freedom ladder”, where they request people to start using as much free software as they viably can.

But if he absolutely has to be replaced as-is, it’s incredibly difficult to find somebody with the same degree of insistence. Eben Moglen was, in my opinion, the most viable candidate, but sadly he was recently outed as an abusive employer.
