This made me remember that one time several years ago when I was wondering if there was any way to change that font and learned there was some sort of service that allowed you to do that in boot time, but the downside was that there was some sort of what it's known at frontend web development as "FOUT" (flash of unstyled text) and you could avoid that by converting your .pcf font to C code and patch it into the kernel code, but at that point I gave up.

Pretty sure there should be some nonprofit that will gladly get and assemble them so i.e. children on remote places can have a computer.

I mean, school days and jobs are social constructs so they can be changed. It's just that our current society has been built or transformed around individualism so people have the belief those things can't be changed

Slim, stripped of unneeded documentation and files (including National Language Support; CRUX only supports the native language the programs were written in, which is english in most cases)

I'm positive about cutting unnecessary stuff, but imho that's a bit too much (I mean for us non native english speakers, or at least those not learning english)

Glad to help, but even more glad that this keeps going (fortunately not a copyright strike thing whatsoever!) and you're doing the good deed. Thank you

No you won't.

They won't throw more than a decade of work to the garbage because "30%" and Nvidia. Those issues can be fixed. Want them to be fixed? Stop complaining and contribute.

I don't know about others but I like my phones to actually last.

My previous phone was a Sony Xperia z1. It went with me for more than 7 years working great until I accidentally dropped it and the screen cracked. Changed the screen but it wasn't the same thing and the battery suffered too so decided to get another one, a Xperia 1ii. This november it's going to be 5 years since I got it and it's still going absolutely great.

But on both times they went great not only because Sony happens to make great hardware but because LineageOS - I've used it on other phones since it was CyanogenMod. As not everything in the world is perfect Sony gives no flying fucks about updates so in two years your phone is not going to get more official updates - enter LineageOS, GrapheneOS or what you like. I'm grateful those things exist, have donated to them and it will be very sad if one of those Google stupid movements make them vanish.

And what do we see? Virtually unchanged phones.

You say this as if it was a bad thing.

Everyone seems to poke on the vim vs emacs/gnome vs kde/systemd vs everyone else but it seems to me the most toxic feud in the foss world has been x11 vs wayland. People had throwed shit at it because of their own specific issues and its "slow" development pace without realizing it's a titanic endeavour and the hate and toxicity brings absolutely nothing positive to the table nor the development of Linux & FOSS in general.

To each his own, and though I have never consumed any kind of drugs nor think I ever will (nor can't understand the need of drugs beyond medical field, pretty much contrary of what it is stated in the quote of this post), I concede keeping it illegal while at the same time alcohol and nicotine are both completely legal is one of the reasons I still think our so-called "civilization" is extremely idiotic, mediocre and pathetic. Either make all of them legal but regulate their consumption or make it so it never bothers anyone else or anything else in any way, or make all of them illegal - but the disparity of current legislation about all of them around the world is just nonsense.

I'm a professional graphic designer and I will never EVER support any initiative trying to get privative support into Linux and this kind of shitty mindset from colleagues actually irks me. I will support any initiative trying to improve what we already have. You don't even need to be a developer nor donate money to help - bug reports and translations are also a thing. That's how we got to get high quality software like Krita, Inkscape or Blender.

Wonder what type of oil his ancestors were using in their cars to do teaching lessons
