I thought the Iranians specifically chose Legos because the US bombed a girl’s primary school. Seemed like a fitting way to fight back.

… You know… yeah, that’s true. One of the huge benefits of using some open source library is that you don’t have to maintain it. But if you clean room it, then it’s all on you.

Although, companies like Amazon will have the engineers to maintain it internally. But a lot of other companies won’t.

And then you have the chardet guy: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fight back? Should we start withholding test suites now? Withhold docs?

Unfortunately, it’s got some issues… It kinda works, but after typing Spanish with the English keyboard, I think I broke the English keyboard…

It’s not as bad as FUTO, but the Spanish spellcheck on the English keyboard could be improved… 😢

I’m stuck on Gboard… :(

Does Helioboard support multi-language typing? I write in Spanish and English all the time. I tried FUTO’s keyboard but pretty much immediately had to uninstall it because constantly having to switch the language on the keyboard super sucked.

An inspiration. I salute you, sir. I’m attempting the same.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Moving to Signal would be way better than getting analysis paralysis and staying with Whatsapp.

A satirical website dubbed Malus (malice) has been making its rounds and fooling users after claiming it’s deploying AI tools to recreate open source projects from scratch with corporate-friendly licensing (my personal favorite is Emergency AGPL Removal in the footer links)

Hahaha. That’s funny. Oh, guys.

Hell yeah!

Na, it’s a no-go if you need a phone right now. We’re a few years out.

But, Motorola did announce their partnership with GrapheneOS on the official Motorola blog: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

Together, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility. … In the coming months, Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will continue to collaborate on joint research, software enhancements, and new security capabilities, with more details and solutions to roll out as the partnership evolves.

I actually did need a phone replacement a month ago and I went with Fairphone for now. Trying to spread out the power, instead of concentrating it.

Oh, shit! I didn’t realize Silvio Rodríguez was alive! And he’s got a blog!? https://segundacita.blogspot.com/

I think the correct answer is to go Motorola+GrapheneOS

Dropping X11 seems huge.
