  • I mean, lemmy.world has to follow German law and reminder: saying “Palestinian people suffer” not followed by “…because of Hamas” is legally problematic there. Still, it’s easy to misjudge one’s relative freedom of speech: I am (un)lucky to live in a country with a higher rating than the US and it doesn’t stop populists from whining when people’s rights groups challenge their false and/or racist posters.



  • I’m getting used to Compose and AltGr. Unexpected Keyboard for Android helps learn compose codes by visualizing them but it’s still a bit of resistance. And yes, Compose can also be used to input Unicode hex codes.

    Either way, I created a custom layout for AltGr and Shift+AltGr layers that is more convenient for me than remembering Compose and Unicode codes.


  • Add Windows-like Alt codes to the list. They’re not perfect (they use a DOS codepage and A-F in the Unicode extension clash with shortcuts in other programs like Firefox, although not passing them through via xkb would solve this) but people use them a lot, especially in my country. At? Alt+64. Backtick? Alt+96. Caret? Alt+94. Hash? Alt+38. Musical note? Alt+13. Yes, we can type most of these on the Czech layout with AltGr but people don’t know this and/or prefer things that work on the commonly default English layout too.












  • A HW manufacturer (aka OEM) will share specs and interfaces with the GrapheneOS team, who will develop an official port for the hardware, with support and everything. The OEM will allow bootloader unlocking and maybe even ship some of these phones with Graphene preinstalled, depending on what their contract with Google allows. To this day, only Pixels have officially received GrapheneOS releases because Google has documented their hardware interfaces in AOSP. Now, AOSP is no longer developed with the Pixel as a target but a virtual device, putting the future of GrapheneOS on Pixels into question (the team refuses to use reverse-engineered hardware interfaces, as they could result in bugs: for example, many Samsung cameras only expose a 16:9 section of the 4:3 sensor in the open Camera2 API; other frequent issues with custom ROMs include VoLTE, Play Integrity and bootloader relocking).

    Omarchy is just opinionated Arch…
    …by a guy whose opinions include

    • Google Contacts, Messages and Photos, ChatGPT web app, Zoom, X, WhatsApp, Discord and RetroArch should be preinstalled but not Steam
    • screensavers with agressive OMARCHY theming should be enabled by defaut
    • People who criticize ICE should be deported

  • Could have been worse, he’s not outright fascist; the SPD (far-right) and STAČILO! (tankies) movements want to leave NATO and EU. Like last time, the tankies did not make it into Parliament but the far-right is sizeable (16). Still, it will not be enough for majority (101) with Babiš (80), they will also need to appease Motorists (13). So I guess we’ll have lots of populism, corruption, continued coal mining and stalling public transit investments.

    The previous cabinet (center-right SPOLU that’s similar to US Democrats, plus Pirates and Mayors) only has 92 in total now because they inherited an economic crisis in 2021 after Babiš’s irresponsible pandemic response (they handled it well but failed to connect with people, and they kept supporting Israel). Does this remind you of a certain American country? At least they managed to get some things done on issues I care about (no more forced castration for legal sex change, investment into 21ˢᵗ century rail infrastracture) and budgeted responsibly.
