It should be the opposite, I am a bit confused about LineageOS' statement here. The Quarterly releases represent solid milestones towards the final Android number milestone. GrapheneOS claims that this made their…
The OP makes an interesting point but it doesn't point out the main problem with high level hardware languages: these kind of languages don't allow you to describe the hardware you want exactly, they only allow you to…
I wouldn't call it the "hot blooded Spaniards stereotype", it's more like the general snarkiness and arrogance that emanates from this type of social networks. If you feel the need to escalate your view to Twitter and…
His Twitter thread with a user called Peter Geist is quite an interesting read: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587122439561318400 It reveals that there are things that marcan is glossing over and forcefully…
The Portuguese implementation of this is quite poor and widely unused. They started to improve it recently but nothing beats the implementation of BankID in Sweden, it is definitely a killer feature.
I agree that HN goes overboard with Google Reader but I can also share the sentiment. You are right when you say that there are many alternatives to Google Reader, even better ones you could say. I am fond not just of…
That's not how Matrix works. Please don't spread FUD.
I have this experience more with HN rather then Reddit. Granted that the popular subreddits are quite overloaded with "normies" but I still visit lesser know communities that still keep their spirit and a solid user…
While Element.io still has some UX points to improve upon, I wish people would be a bit more honest about the state of Matrix clients and less fatalist. There are other alternative Matrix clients that implement an…
I have been running my own Matrix instance with federation on my 20 dollar/month Linode VPS for 5 years already. I use between some friends and family and I'm also connected to massive channels like the official…
Which file are you talking about? The homeserver.yaml? Mine only has around 100 lines without comments.
If you are going to post that specific email, then you should also post the mail in which Matthew Hodgson from Matrix addresses and clarifies some of the concerns there: -…
I don't feel negative towards Prosody, Prosody is an awesome project. My criticism is about XMPP in general and its ecosystem. I stopped my XMPP server a few years ago, Dino was still in its infancy. It's good to see…
XMPP is featherweight compared to Matrix because it does less things than Matrix. Having a gigantic group chat with hundreads of people, with encryption, history and media synchronized between everyone without relying…
That statement doesn't reflect the sad state of XMPP clients available nowadays. I used to run my own XMPP server for years before moving on to Matrix and the reality was that the only good client was Conversations for…
Agreed. It took me a while to realize that this was just about compiling Linux drivers for a network card connected through PCIe.
That's not how licensing Arm technology works.
It's sad to see how far the HN community has fallen, to the point in which people don't seem to understand how computers work anymore. No, this is not a brand new CPU ISA without custom instructions, it's Arm based. And…
I know very well who marcan is and I also have quite some experience in this area. I know how challenging these kind of things are and I just didn't expand on my argument because it is a very ambitious project.
If you are just planning to hack something to show some basic and buggy 2D rendering, 5 years might be realistic.
It has been longer than that and 3D support is still a bit shaky. And this is based on known hardware.
Btw, I hate twitter for this. Why isn't someone as technical as Marcan posting this on a blog? The world went mad.
Keep in mind that something as fundamental as the GPU driver wouldn't be available even they managed to get Linux up and running. And the M1 GPU is Apple's full custom GPU. Even if someone tried to reverse engineer a…
That's because we might be just seeing the low-end version of the M1 and we might see the high-end version of these chips next year or so. :)
Thank goodness the title mentions it is Softbank backed, otherwise I would have missed some good Softbank bashing.
