it’s used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works onn your system. It’s the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

Torvalds kicked out a bunch of Russia-based kernel maintainers.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

Android cannot even emulate an older version of Android to run outdated apps.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.

SDL2, with Android NDK, commandline version.

Here’s a Super Mario first level theme, 10 hours mix. You are welcome.

I’m pretty sure Apple and Google already rewritten all important GNU parts into something with Apache or BSD license, to throw everything GPL licensed out of their embedded systems. The biggest and most important part was obviously GCC, replaced by Clang.

How many GPL-licensed system libraries and tools are in Android right now, except for the kernel? I’m pretty sure the answer is zero.

It’s wild seeing square brackets for something other than array indexing.

Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

• Ctrl-C will not do what you expect, use Ctrl-Shift-C, or click mouse wheel
• There are many better terminal emulators that XTerm
• If you accidentally press Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can press Alt-F7 to switch back to the graphical desktop
• There are in fact many ways to exit vi, no need to reboot your PC
• There’s no need to suffer through The True Commandline Experience For Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins⁽¹⁾, just install mc and get all the benefits without typing cd and ls every time you want to find a specific file

⁽¹⁾ Real Fedora-Wearing Sysadmins don’t use vi to edit files, they either write a sed script or use cat to copy the file to the terminal, then use cat again to copy the contents of the terminal back into the file by clicking the mouse wheel while typing manually the lines they need to change.

I was trying to make a dumb joke, because I’m disappointed that they didn’t release it for Android.

Yeah, I perfectly understand why. World of Goo 1 was one of the best Android games, but the sales numbers were non-existent.

I bet you’ve also replaced Microsoft Edge with Chrome.

This incident will be reported

Steam

I see how you are casually ignoring Microsoft Store.

But it’s all herbal and natural!

dried plants are no less effective in making you vomit than synthetic drugs

It doesn’t matter for most drugs, as long as you can tolerate the taste. There is a gastric ulcers medicine that’s basically a weapons-grade concentrate of chili pepper, eating it raw will cause most people to vomit. Some rare drugs react poorly with saliva, and there are also drugs which are designed to dissolve not in your stomach but in your intestines, but those are usually not capsules but thumb-sized pills with coating so thick you won’t be able to chew through it.
