Furi Phone FLX1: Debian smartphone debuts • The Register
  • It’s already delivered - a Mastodon user got one.

    But getting an OEM to make a phone under your brand is easy. The real question is how long will they keep the software maintained?

    These people seem like passionate Linux enthusiasts, so one can hope.

  • Tough Trolly Choices
  • They have to get smaller to fit the problem statement- if all levers are the same size or have some nonzero minimum size then the full set of levers would be countable!

    Now we play the game again 🤓. I start by removing the levers in the field/scale of view of your microscope’s default orientation.

  • Tough Trolly Choices
  • But look at the picture: the levers are not all the same size- they get progressively smaller until (I assume from the ellipsis) they become infinitesimally small. If a cluster has this dense side facing you, then you won’t “see” a lever at all. You would only see a uniform sea of gray or whatever color the levers are. You now have to choose where to zoom in to see your first lever.

  • Tough Trolly Choices
  • It might sound trivial but it is not! Imagine there is a lever at every point on the real number line; easy enough right? you might pick the lever at 0 as your “first” lever. Now imagine in another cluster I remove all the integer levers. You might say, pick the lever at 0.5. Now I remove all rational levers. You say, pick sqrt(2). Now I remove all algebraic numbers. On and on…

    If we keep playing this game, can you keep coming up with which lever to pick indefinitely (as long as I haven’t removed all the levers)? If you think you can, that means you believe in the Axiom of Countable Choice.

    Believing the axiom of countable choice is still not sufficient for this meme. Because now there are uncountably many clusters, meaning we can’t simply play the pick-a-lever game step-by-step; you have to pick levers continuously at every instant in time.

    FAQ

    What does this mean?

    The amount of points on your comment will be decreased by one. The deduction will be federated across thousands of Lemmy instances, bringing you shame from across the Fediverse.

    Why did you do this?

    There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral points. These include, but are not limited to:

    • Rudeness towards other users,
    • Spreading incorrect information,
    • Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

    As this is your first time receiving my downvote, I will provide reasons (listed below) to help you avoid making these mistakes again. Note that this will not be the case with future downvotes.

    • Writing variables next to each other to form words. "Y o u" is not an English word. If you want the English word "You" in LaTeX math mode, write \text{You}.
    • Your "rotation matrix" has determinant of -1, meaning it is not a rotation matrix. Propaganda promoting improper rotations will not be tolerated on mander.xyz.

    Am I banned from the Lemmy?

    No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

    I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

    Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

    How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

    Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on mander.xyz or the Fediverse as a whole. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Posting is privilege, not a right.

  • We could take this further and let developers specify exactly the dependencies they need! No more bloated runtimes! App A could specify libfoo>=1.23.45 while app B specify libfoo<1.24 and Flatpak could resolve the compatible version automatically!

    Serious answer: If space saving is the goal, traditional packaging is the way to go. Allowing multiple runtimes is a slippery slope away from the core idea of Flatpak (simplest dependency management possible so developers don’t have to test many configurations).

    (Not that there’s anything wrong with traditional packaging with more complicated dependency management - it’s just not Flatpak’s thing).

  • Never heard of this “Papers” PDF reader before and it’s not on Flathub either. Apparently it is a fork of Evince with lots of big changes planned. Exciting stuff! But does anyone know what’s going to happen to Evince?
