I’ve supported Ukraine significantly.

Something like they did in 1917 I guess? The oppression wasn’t any lighter back then.

But I guess most russians have grown soft in the same way Putin has claimed happened to europeans. Always reflection with these guys.

Supply and demand. This is capitalism, baby!

This but unironically.

Cartels are illegal for a reason though so interesting to see if the RAM situation has been a cartel.

Dunno, is Henry Ford remembered for roughly similar nazi flirting? Probably by some people.

What is it about car makers…

He’s never done anything to personally further spacex.

That’s just obvious bullshit what you said right there. Why exaggerate when there’s so much valid stuff to criticize Musk for?

Örebro is certainly an interesting party. Forked off of the very leftist “Left Party”, it’s a mix of Marxism, Populism, Swedish Nationalism, Anti-Corruption, Anti-Establishment and Eco-Socialism. Part of the Nordic Green Left Alliance.

Pretty much all over the place, at least on paper.

I don’t know, it sounds to me like the kind of party Lemmy should enjoy.

Where did you find the info that the TTFone uses a fork - XDA? Possibly it can take CFW?

It’s a de-googled Android hence AOSP and the source code is nowhere to be found, as far as I can tell. That said, I don’t really know where they wrote the device-specific changes, just guessed.

As for the 8020, it’s obviously an unproven product at this stage so picking that at this stage is pretty much a gamble.

Oh, the TTFone OS core is a proprietary fork of AOSP, and developed in China. That is probably a nope for me.

But I appreciate for letting me know of it. Might be good for the kids in the near future.

Thanks! Interesting, I hadn’t heard of that one.

I wasn’t able to find if the tt970 (or the newer t990) provably can run Signal, but seems like it’s an Android 14 so I guess it should.

Do you have one?

Point me towards a dumb phone that can run Signal properly and I’ll cancel my 8020 order right now.

(yes, it’s still a bit of a guess whether the 8020 can actually run it properly, but that’s what they’re promising right now anyway)

Qobuz suggests using a 3rd party service: https://help.qobuz.com/en/articles/10156-can-i-import-my-favourites-and-playlists-from-another-platform

Thing is, this is the strain that’s gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.

That might just be a function of popularity and scale though. Spotify has 750M active users. Qobuz (by this article) reached 1.2M in 2025.

They might be paying more from the goodness of their hearts or they might be paying more because they have no leverage. As the artist, if you get roughly 70x more streamings but each streaming is half the price, you’re gonna get more money obviously.

Disclaimer: I mostly agree with Daniel Ek’s political stances and I’m especially a big fan of him putting significant capital into defence industry. And I like that Spotify is from Sweden and is still mostly owned by swedes. Just to say that the following is not politically motivated.

I just switched over to Qobuz because I got fed up with Spotify’s convoluted UI due to it trying to cram in podcasts and audiobooks in there in addition to just music.

It’s pretty cool. The QBZ client from Flatpak can output bit perfect audio to my DAC with just a few tweaks that the client itself helpfully guides through. QBZ UX is way better than Spotify for mindful listening: it guides towards listening to whole albums instead of badly created mixes.

I tested sound quality with Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. Was way better on Qobuz for reasons that probably have more to do with mastering than actual sound quality of the client. Because, you know, human ears just don’t.

I’ve missed one album so far: Benedictum’s Uncreation isn’t there, but it is in Spotify. Oh well.

Check out the circuits here: https://adewynter.github.io/notes/aoe2-circuits

Apparently, he builds a functioning (probably a very basic) LLM from those.

This does not in any way prove that LLMs aren’t sentient. Feels like a joke paper. I mean not a completely unserious one but one that’s has been written with a lot of smirk.

The actual author explains it way better though: https://adriandewynter.substack.com/p/if-llms-have-human-like-attributes

I obviously didn’t understand everything, but it seems to me that he built an LLM in AoE2 goats and basically said “look, obviously this isn’t concious” and that “obviously” is doing much more work than it should. Reductio ad absurdum.

Obviously the LLM built in AoE2 goats is conscious.

Simulated goats in the game Age of Empires II.

Initial price was $135. Then it climbed to $210ish. Now $185.

Pretty regular stuff for a new IPO meme stock. Don’t go on the ride if you don’t like the speed.

Making me consider switching over from Claude. But Opus is still quite a bit better at programming, so I think I’ll wait until next GPT release.
