@rebel1725 LineageOS lags months behind on major AOSP updates. It merges the monthly AOSP backports to older releases within a couple weeks but those are only a subset of the overall patches. Portraying the rest of the privacy and security patches as all being vendor patches is wrong.

AOSP only provides incomplete backports to older releases in the first place. Only the latest major release is well supported which is currently Android 17 and very soon Android 17 QPR2. Older releases are not.

ricght.... flashing microsd cards and customizing linux configs for fun this time....

Bro, you have GOT to be fucking kidding me...

They had concentration camps. They fucking MURDERED Americans in the street for protesting... what? FUCK this guy and FUCK this party...

@rebel1725 LineageOS is the opposite of a privacy and security hardened OS. It substantially reduces both compared to the Android Open Source Project. It doesn't keep up with the standard Android privacy/security patches or protections. It isn't simply less hardened but rather is doing the opposite. AOSP is a much more private and secure starting point than LineageOS. Any privacy/security focused project should be directly based on AOSP with minimal usage of code from LineageOS, unlike those 3.

@smallsees @wohali mint's special ability is enchanting 🍎, 🪵, and 🌱, because the developer apparently couldn't be assed to draw item icons so they limited items to what they could get emojis for

through the tears and very loud sobbing, am posting this for posterity:

❝ In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.

His value was placed at $1,400.

On another surviving document, Sheppard signed his name with an X.

More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of Georgia.❞

@ben @wohali I'd like to think after a century, or whatever oh no humans that one of them looked at a Peach and thought "well that's close enough for me". Though you do have to question Mint's preferences.

Yeah, I laughed.

That is not correct @darth_hideout

“National operatives are descending on the state, with staff members from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Elias Law Group on the ground Wednesday to lead the Democratic effort to ensure votes are counted, according to a source familiar with the effort, who was granted anonymity to discuss legal strategy.

“Colom, a local prosecutor, said at a news conference Wednesday morning: ‘We’re prepared to litigate, though we were prepared for this for months. We have an army of lawyers. We have local lawyers. We have everybody involved to make sure the process is followed according to the law.’”

like, the in-game guide is helpful, but i have to already know about smelting copper and what that process looks like to even know to ask the question... most folks dont know that i think and #VintageStory doesn't offer any clear guide or advice after knapping.

@mcc ".img" usually means "raw block device dump", it's not really a file format. which… should be fine here? I've used those with this UI. you are going to make me try this out because I am really wondering what's going on. except I don't have a handy x86 machine that can virtualize things. literally all of my computers are ARM except one and that one is… very old

@prplecake No, it’s the Pope

@dianea @alice You just need to figure out how to lockpick the laws of physics. I mean, there's got to be a security vuln -- that code hasn't been updated in literally billions of years...

I might need to find a play a long to learn some of the intricacies of #VintageStory. stuck just after firing my first storage pot.... now what?
