Releasing the code on GPL was probably notable too.
Debian is currently on 3.14.8.
It's not apt not being smart that can cause troubles when mixing packages from various suites. There's no reason to mix in cases where you can just use backports instead.
The only thing that changes over time is that you need to know more about the topic in order to be able to spot it.
> everyone thinks music peaked when they were in high school
Nah. Music clearly peaked about 10 years before I was born.
Now run LLM inference on it.
I've been using touchscreen laptops for more than a decade now. It's been really useful when working on mobile stuff and occasionally handy in some games or when sketching something, but other than that - it just stays unused.
Maybe not a JSON parser in particular, but I've already seen a fair share of MRs that contained many thousands of lines that no human would have ever written without stopping to ask "do I really need to do it?". LLMs aren't bothered.
> But nobody says you have to stop there.
Yeah, but what's more likely to happen is that when you look inside the code you see thousands of lines of code of a handrolled parser and when you ask "why would you write your own rather than use some existing one here?" you only get silence in return.
> In this post, I use the term "Free Software" to mean software licensed with Copyleft licenses, and to explicitly differentiate it from permissively-licensed "Open Source" software (which is what the Free Software Foundation and Co. also do).
That's not what "FSF and Co." do at all. I'd expect someone writing an article about whether Free Software failed or not to understand that if they want to be considered seriously.
> Itch has this filter
I don't think it's a proper filter, looks like just a tag that needs to be manually applied to the game somewhere. I can tell it's not showing some FLOSS games with correctly filled out license metadata.
Also append /tag-no-ai as desired.

It depends on particular renderer, obviously. Not all software renderers were being given appropriate care.

I used to use e17 on my daily driver phone. Illume was a nice UI, but you (or your distro) did have to find a good revision to not have it crash indeed :)
If it even exists at all, it gets drowned in the sea of shit anyway.
My personal experience. I've been using GNU/Linux on my daily driver phones for nearly two decades now. Started just before the first Android phone appeared on the market and went through a bunch of devices since. Android never appeared to me as a viable alternative during that whole time (it was in fact closer to being one in the past than it is now) and iOS has just never been something I'd like to use.
I have listed several reasons why I think so in other threads here already, but the main thing is that what I longed for in 2008 when I was getting my first smartphone was a connected personal computer that I can put into my pocket and carry around through a day, and that's what I was always getting with GNU/Linux phones, so I never really got used to the idea of smartphones as these limited, mostly vendor-controlled devices that effectively serve as a trusted runtime environment for adversarial software (and by "trusted" I mean trusted by apps, of course). Instead, I see my phone like I always saw my GNU/Linux PCs - as a tiny box full of useful tools that are there to serve and empower me to reach my goals and which I can put together and modify any way I like to. May not have the sleekest design out there, may not be a speed demon, may have a quirk or two to tolerate and may require me to scratch some itches by myself, but it does what I tell it to regardless of whether it's aligned with some corporation's interests or not and it's well worth the effort spent to configure it to my liking. It's also generally a wonderful thing to tinker with (though this mattered much more when I was still a teenager :))
It is more complex, but mostly for reasons that serve someone else than me.
I had to build a patched Android image in the past, so no thanks, it's definitely not something I would want to do in my spare time just to tinker. It's a system that's designed to be user-hostile; you can fight it if you want, but why would I do that if I can just keep using GNU/Linux instead?
So yeah, 5 years ago it wasn't so critical to have it yet, and by the time it became critical it also became supported. Perhaps that's why you keep reading articles that don't mention it :)
BTW, isn't VoLTE on devices like OP6 pretty much a solved thing by now as well? These devices with no discrete modem had to configure all the IMS services manually over undocumented QMI interfaces (as opposed to a documented AT command than then makes the discrete modem do the same thing internally), but I believe that has been figured out some time ago already.
I'm pretty sure both Librem 5 and PinePhone can use VoLTE in the US. The former you can even buy together with a MVNO service that's just guaranteed to work.
I am the administrator of the system on my phone. It's the same OS as what I've been using on my PCs for decades, so it's very familiar. It's fully scriptable in whatever language I wish to use, so I can easily adjust its behavior. I can use sandboxes when I need them and ignore them when I don't. Its software components are replaceable and patchable - if something bothers me, I can write a patch, compile a patched package, install it and even send a merge request upstream right on the phone itself without using any other device - regardless of whether it's about desktop environment behavior, cellular middleware or a kernel driver. I can freely modify the system to my liking without being punished for it. I never have to wrestle with the system whenever I want to keep something running in the background.
It just feels like my little personal computer. No Android device ever felt this way to me. I don't want to feel like a guest confined to a sandbox within a computing device I'm supposed to own.
> It throws most of Android’s strong security model out of the window.
If what you care about is protecting device and application providers' interests from their users, then I guess it does.
Waydroid has been working fine there for years.
I wonder whether Android/iOS will ever become a viable alternative to GNU/Linux phones. They failed to make me switch for nearly two decades now and only seem to be getting worse.
You don't need to go this far. Just ask it to explain the meaning of some song lyrics. The bullshit it comes up with can be absolutely incredible.
For anyone interested, interactive DVD menus can be pretty easily made with spumux and dvdauthor. I used them a few years ago to make a silly DVD-menu game at a game jam, heavily inspired by these "looping clips and audio that don’t quite seamlessly repeat or have abrupt endings":
