Just yesterday, saw a fairly long article on how to properly train an LLM to send short email replies, and the time the guy wasted on prompts and writing the article would have been enough for a hundred responses.

I still read HN, but I swear, they are in their own world at times.

.NET applications using .NET Core or later are intended to be cross-platform, so technically, Linux can run .NET apps. (The use-case I know is running .NET sites on Linux servers)

Not looking for a dumbphone at the moment, but

There’s a KaiOS jailbreaking community ... I’ve seen an XMPP client and a Matrix one too.

This is good and opens up a path for using other messengers via bridges.

Right... My favorite "promise" so far was the Tesla SpaceX edition (with rocket boosters or microjets or some shit, IDK doesn't make sense) and die-hard fans defending this PR stunt as "the car that might fly".

I don't find it difficult, and have enjoyed sxmo on the PinePhone. I understand the suckless approach, but I do have to admit that many people that I know, even tech-savvy ones, probably would not want to rebuild to configure something.

To configure most suckless tools you need to... recompile them. The readme says:

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.

But if you are trying to compile suckless tools, you are already in too deep.

I knew a guy in his 30s that has similar attitudes: thinks that his ways and opinions are the only valid ones, thinks he is smarter than most people, has instant assumptions about people based on appearance, and does not take criticism well.

From talking to him, I would say that to avoid becoming someone like him:

• Do not define yourself in terms of work or money. Yes, most people need a job to pay bills to live. But find a hobby, passion, or charity that you like. Trying to make / hustle / gamble money for the sake of a larger number in your account (with no other goal) is honestly sad.
• No one is out to get you. Stop seeking enemies or blaming problems on others.
• Do not make IRL opinions from online "content" (I don't even wanna know which subreddits and YouTube people this guy follows) Interact with real people.
• If your friends are repeatedly calling you out on questionable or insensitive actions and opinions, listen and think for a minute.

GrapheneOS has it on the very left (as shown above), which requires scrolling, modern Samsung and IIRC older LineageOS has it on the bottom, always visible.

It also works as a weather provider for Gadgetbridge!

I have been using OpenSCAD to make models for 3D-printing. I know this is a specific use case, and I have no experience with the "real" CAD software, but OpenSCAD makes sense to me as a programmer.

You might be interested in postmarketOS They try to mainline older Android devices. It works pretty well on the PinePhone, too.

As far as I understand, the hardware-adaptive part is difficult to implement because ARM systems do not have automatic hardware detection like x86/x64 PCs do, so the hardware list (tree) has to be known for each device, that hardware is mostly proprietary and requires proprietary drivers. All of which results in Android phones using different per-phone-model kernels.

The code is on Codeberg, as seen on their site.

And it's free on F-Droid. Playstore has it for $8, which goes to the developer (and probably supporting the conversations.im XMPP server)
