SystemReady is already a thing. When it becomes mandatory for design wins hopefully it will become more common place.

I wouldn’t say that, it’s just there is a lot in vendor kernels and little incentive to upstream stuff for older SoCs that have already shipped. It’s true Google has come around to the importance of not drifting too far from upstream and hopefully we are starting to see the results of that change in attitude.
As I understand it my colleges in the QC landing team @ Linaro spend a lot of time getting stuff into the various upstreams.
It really depends how you see the firmware boundary. You can either treat it as a set of magic numbers you load onto the hardware so it works or see it as an intrinsically programmable part of your system that you should be able to see the source code for or live without support for the device.
I run Circe in Emacs because it’s lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.
I didn’t know you could use mods on the steam deck. Are there any that make sorting through your inventory easier?
If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.
It’s a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it’s a one person passion project then it’s probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don’t change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.
I’m just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.
I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.
I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.
From the UK perspective broadcasters have a license to broadcast and are regulated by ofcomm. I thought the FCC had similar oversight of the US broadcasters - for example not being keen on swearing and sex on TV. For UK news programmes there is a requirement to be balanced for example.
I think one difference is Google is a pull system: you query Google and get results. The short form video streams are push mediums. They feed you a stream of content that it thinks you want. They are fundamentally more susceptible to pushing a particular agenda.
The evidence from the reports in the above article certainly looks pretty daming that tiktok is pushing a particular agenda. The comparison to broadcast which often does have licensing requirements is probably apt.
I don’t buy the arguement that this gives cover to repressive regimes to censor more views because frankly they are doing that already.
That’s what the reflog is for!
You can launch Minecraft Bedrock with the mcpelauncher of the Steam Deck or you can use Waydroid.
Sorry I was referring to: https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
This is the way 😉 although the Minecraft launcher is pretty good these days running under Waydroid is considerably less hacky as it’s not having to thunk between android and Linux userspace.
The man is a legend although I guess he has done prior experience with codecs through ffmpeg.
A lot of projects would be better served with a plain Makefile although for widely posted projects something is required.
Qemu has used a single readable POSIX shell script for configure although recently most of the tests are in meson (avoiding some Makefile shenanigans in the process). While it’s a new syntax to learn at least the intent is clear and reviewable.
Isn’t the GPU documented now?
