where we are going, we don't need android or ios

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
return 0;
}











oh wait that's c++

Me helping @craftyguy with coreboot 🤝 @craftyguy helping me with initramfs

Is this the famous "law of equivalent exchange"?

@aelin @elly @craftyguy ah, thought this one had the logo inside the ABL as the newer ones do.

this specifically means: they rejected covering Wikipedia in AI slop. This means a generational gap apparently. ok mate

@justsoup how about the Cee programming language?

@karolherbst computers are just circuit boards

@elly @craftyguy What device is this and how did you change the boot logo?

@bagder it's so laughable, so cringe that they brag about "pull request diff performances". These days github is barely usable anymore for patch reviews. The pr review tool is broken and slow. The two distinct versions they offer are in competition which one is more broken. Half the patch context links they have never get you to the right place, and they collapse anything by default that's larger than a couple of dozens of lines. So many clicks for everything. And the slow UI reaction times...

If you use AI-generated code, you currently cannot claim copyright on it in the US. If you fail to disclose/disclaim exactly which parts were not written by a human, you forfeit your copyright claim on *the entire codebase*.

This means copyright notices and even licenses folks are putting on their vibe-coded GitHub repos are unenforceable. The AI-generated code, and possibly the whole project, becomes public domain.

@kline too many

@cas android hacking basically went from giant and rewarding to work on, to boring, with google trying to keep as much control over it as possible, and not letting people do what they want.

I was very optimistic when I saw postmarketOS, and today I hope the pmOS hacking scene will become as successful and growing as Android's used to be in the 2010s.

@cas nowadays we're just fighting to have the right to install our own apps. Literal *APPS*. While back then you could do literally anything with the whole *OS*. I chose Android over iOS because the hacking scene was this wild. Nowadays, a decade later, I hate android and I hate where it's been going. It became literally the opposite of an open OS with a giant hacking community around it, with only a few projects remaining just to make android bearable, and many apps detecting if you have them installed and refuse to work if so.

@cas The 2012-2015 Android hacking scene was peak, back then I remember having tried loads of mods and custom ROMs and all that, including cyanogenmod, AOKP, resurrection remix, omnirom, etc. and mods like substratum for theming, I remember about clockworkmod recovery, etc. Samsung wasn't as annoying as they are today regarding installing mods either, you could just boot into download mode, flash whatever you want, and you're all set, no OEM unlock or anything stopping you!

I really miss this era of android hacking
