This has been in the works for some time. With help from the NixOS community, we're set up to begin the process of introducing NixOS as a Community support distro.
NixOS community will be helping Framework with docs and related and we will provide hardware to those selected.
Some details being ironed out. This is a method of ensuring NixOS users identified as ideal candidates (a couple of selected people) can help us ensure we have Framework docs in place.
That's great and I'm happy about that but doesn't it seem like a more "vanilla" distro like Debian would be a more appropriate use of your resources?
Vanilla Ubuntu is literally the only distro I cannot recommend to anyone due to corporate shitfuckery. I realize that compatibility mostly runs downstream but the same goes for Debian. And Nix is not even in the top 15 used distros.
Is there an @AntennaPod kind of app for iOS? I love how they engage with Blind users. I tried the app on a friends phone and that app is just perfection from a screen reader POV! I know there is @castropodcasts but I hear they haven't put out accessibility updates, and, I honestly don't think Downcast and similar cut the mustard on iOS. #Podcast#Podcasts
Many developers, especially FOSS ones, can't be bothered to pay for all the Apple developer fees when they can simply upload their APK to their website or FDroid or GitHub for free, and it doesn't need to be approved by a third party.
We built the world's first 180W USB-C power adapter without realizing it. We just thought the new EPR standard was an obvious win, so we designed an adapter around it for Framework Laptop 16. We now have the adapter in stock in the Marketplace: https://frame.work/products/16-power-adapter?v=FRANCR000B
@frameworkcomputer this is great but I'm super disappointed there's not more than one connector. I can buy a 65w brick that has 2 or 3 USB outs. Makes no sense to have all that power and it can only be delivered to a single device. This is unfortunately a dealbreaker, and against the ethos that Framework otherwise exemplifies.
@WhyNotZoidberg 🤣🤦 nothing about it is fascist. This only benefits the Fediverse and hurts Meta. Would you like to answer the question or just hurl insults at people who disagree with you?
@WhyNotZoidberg I am not telling anyone what to do. The original poster I replied to is. I just asked a question. If you don't have an answer to the question, feel free not to reply to me.
Nobody is advocating for supporting Meta. Quite the opposite, really.
> We landed on “你識路啦” which translates to “You know how to get there so…” a wink and a nudge about where to go to find your friends. The two middle characters phonetically sound out “Signal,” another layer of wink and nudge. If you know you know.
We shouldn't be mentioning this without even mentioning that Meta is STILL going to be collecting all of your metadata and selling to advertisers and handing over to governments.
@weirdwriter What I want from the fedi, more than anything, is to be able to use it with my IRL friends and family, meaning it needs to have wide appeal, and most people want some sort of algorithmic sorting, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before we got it.
A heads up for Android #foss folks - all Simple Mobile Tools apps have been bought up by a company known for invasive junk apps. #FDroid has already disabled auto-updates in response.
A LOT of Apple Folk are telling on themselves over this Beeper Mini situation. It was never about functionality, communication, or security. Those folks just liked having a club they could exclude people from. It's not a great look.
The Green Bubble has always been about bullying and exclusion to benefit Apple's bottom line.
@SomeGadgetGuy I don't think it's any of that. I mean certainly some but not most. I think people (users) just can't be bothered to use anything other than what comes pre-installed on their devices.
For Apple it is certainly about control and their ever-present walled garden.
Re: news about Tesla selling charging hardware to BP
Now THAT is an angle that completely escaped me. I figured they'd only ever want to make charging hardware for their own network, but now that we are careening towards their plug standard, it makes sense for non-exclusive networks to buy their hardware.
And to be honest, this is a good thing because Tesla's charging hardware actually works.
@TechConnectify not sure what your point is there. Gas stations don't make money selling gas, but oil companies do. Gas stations make money selling snacks, drinks, cigarettes, scratch-offs etc. And Tesla is an energy provider. The way I see it, they can make money on both.
