Indeed - https://xdaforums.com/t/does-twrp-function-with-non-aosp-oses.4692346/post-89709288 seems to elaborate quite well, if you agree with it. Thanks for the response.

If interesting, I've also posted at the XDA Developers forum about whether this is more broadly applicable.
I'd like to [install PMOS onto my Fairphone 5](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/index.php?title=Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)&oldid=60450#Users_owning_this_device), because [TWRP recently became available for it](https://twrp.me/fairphone/fairphone5.html). However, [the comments and post above this Reddit comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/19ah03u/comment/lmrlayl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) appear to demonstrate that the PMOS installer might overwrite all partitions (A and B, but also Recovery), if I've understood it correctly. Has anyone used both together? If so, can you confirm whether it functions (as expected)?

You couldn’t even comprehend that I wasn’t criticising a person (consider this as criticism).
I evidently am able to comprehend it. If I were as incapable as you purport, you informing me would be worthless. You doing so, with this response, demonstrate consequently that your assumption is incorrect. It's a strange one to make.
It really isn’t that great that instead of active discussion you stumble upon months-old threads.
You responding renders it active. Any alternative designation is fundamentally nonsensical.
If you're to discuss semantics, be more pedantic, else this conversation is uninformative for us.
I made a point illustrating that switching off from reddit didn’t do any good for the community.
I'm aware. It's quite easily comprehensible. However, it's unsubstantiated, hence the downvotes.
After researching why current consumer and embedded ARM (and, to a lesser extent, embedded RISC-V) devices are difficult to port to, the primary reason appears to be device discovery and driver support. Obviously, extracting proprietary drivers from a potentially outdated AOSP-based OS version with a probably quite outdated kernel and getting that to run in mainline is a lot of work. However, getting device trees shouldn't be, and really shouldn't be necessary, since they're not something that a manufacturer would hope close to their chest, unlike complex driver software. Consequently, I would like to request to Fairphone – considering their mission statement – that they provide device trees and enumerable busses (if they don't) but would like to verify here that I wouldn't look like a moron asking for the wrong thing. I hope this makes sense.

Is it FOSS? I'm having a difficult time locating its source.

No, I had not. That's certainly novel.

Really impressive work. SystemD was the sole thing missing from PMOS for me – I'm ecstatic that I'll finally be able to say, when it's done, that – excluding 3rd-party GUIs’ support – it's better than AOSP.

I don't have MarkdownLint nor Markdown All-in-One installed, and disabling Markdown PDF doesn't resolve the problem. Unfortunately, we're looking in the wrong place, it appears.
A few weeks ago, VSCode began to constantly recreate tabs. Notably, they are always considered to have been modified, so I have to confirm their closure. I initially thought that the undermentioned log might be the cause: > ```log > 2024-07-10 13:50:43.340 [error] Unhandled method getIdAtPosition: Error: Unhandled method getIdAtPosition > at /home/RokeJulianLockhart/.vscode-insiders/extensions/visualstudioexptteam.intellicode-api-usage-examples-0.2.8/dist/extension.js:2:398068 > at re (/home/RokeJulianLockhart/.vscode-insiders/extensions/visualstudioexptteam.intellicode-api-usage-examples-0.2.8/dist/extension.js:2:398362) > at /home/RokeJulianLockhart/.vscode-insiders/extensions/visualstudioexptteam.intellicode-api-usage-examples-0.2.8/dist/extension.js:2:393146 > at Immediate.<anonymous> (/home/RokeJulianLockhart/.vscode-insiders/extensions/visualstudioexptteam.intellicode-api-usage-examples-0.2.8/dist/extension.js:2:393166) > at processImmediate (node:internal/timers:478:21) > at process.topLevelDomainCallback (node:domain:160:15) > at process.callbackTrampoline (node:internal/async_hooks:128:24) > ``` ...because another entry appeared to always occur each time I closed one of these tabs. However, it stopped appearing today, so I'm a loss for the cause. The attached URI is [this video](https://imgur.com/a/0FzkJyI), which depicts the reappearance of the tabs. The attached image depicts multiple entries of the aforementioned log.
As https://github.com/orgs/PrismLauncher/discussions/2550#discussion-6847972 explains, I'm trying to debug https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/random-indefinite-system-hang-and-crash/110020/1#related-issues-3 using `flatpak run --command=sh --devel org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher` and `gdb /app/bin/prismrun`. However, so that I can ensure that its environment matches mine, and so that I don't have to do an absurd amount of configuration each time I try to debug, I'd like to not have it create an entirely new userdata storage each time I debug.

Yeah, I just installed it from 23.12's repository. Works well for the basics. Many thanks.

Thank you. I'll use that information about the USB ID for my report to KDE. However, could you elaborate somewhat? That is, would it be correct to ask for Plasma to not merely utilize the USB ID to identify whether a device is accessible, but test whether it can be accessed by MTP first, before presenting that option to the user? Regardless, per what you've said, I've consolidated my previously disparate reports under https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486931.
Additionally, I'll definitely mention on Bugzilla that incorporating some of the patches in that package would be a feasible implementation method. Relevantly, I'd like to use that package, but because I'm not using Edge, would adding that repository do any harm (for instance, would it be added with higher priority by default than existent repositories)?
rokejulianlockhart 4 months ago • 100%
Those criticisms seem reasonable. Regarding package signing, are you referring to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/613#issuecomment-134361033? Additionally, that default for pip seems veritably insane. I understand using system packages, but modifying packages outside the virtual environment is definitely weird.

It worked for me. I came here instead of Reddit, which would have alternatively been my primary choice.
rokejulianlockhart 5 months ago • 100%
I'd like it opened for new users to be able to participate there without a Lemmy account, but there's a cost-benefit ratio to everything, and the additional moderation burden and potential fragmentation of the small community appears to outweigh the benefits. Additionally, a lack of choice paralysis can be quite a significant advantage.

I'd say that that makes it more probable.

I used it yesterday, via Pidgin. I'm rokejulianlockhart@xmpp.jp
. Why else would I have referenced it? Don't tell me what I've done. That's not a way to have productive conversations.
Regardless, I can't provide any more technical insight than that - I know solely that the clients provide so much more functionality that irrespective of the protocol, it's better in practice. Fedora, openSUSE, the Bundeswehr, NATO, and Beeper - all chose Matrix over XMPP, not least partially because of Element (which they also all chose).
rokejulianlockhart 5 months ago • 100%
I don't believe that its existence causes more fragmentation than it remediates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36939482 explains why I consider Matrix fundamentally superior most (if not all) uses, although in practice it's because the clients (Element and FluffyChat primarily) are cross-platform and support a generally uniform set of features, in comparison to the aged (but glorious) Pidgin, and its counterparts.
rokejulianlockhart 5 months ago • 100%
Its bridges are FOSS, but its client (an Element fork) doesn't appear to be.
rokejulianlockhart 5 months ago • 100%
Thanks.
rokejulianlockhart 5 months ago • 100%
Yeah, my experience with Element and a Matrix.org account is that it's sluggish. However, it's been better at Beeper, so I'm uncertain whether it's intrinsic to Matrix or merely Matrix.org and/or Element's servers.

The navigation bar disappearing and the mobile data connection needing manual re-enablement affects me too. I don't think anyone has posted about them on the forum yet, though.
If only CalyxOS supported the Google Play Store, I would use that.

Indeed, the law applied to all manufacturers, but no other manufacturer wanted to remain with microUSB Type-B 2.0 due to economies of scale, etc. The loophole that Apple used was available to everyone anyway, so it's not like they couldn't have followed suit.

exFAT supports R&W between approximately Linux 3+, Windows 8+, and Android 13+. It should also support macOS. NTFS is significantly more reliable and functional, but only supports R&W on specific Android apps, is read-only on macOS, but is perfectly usable on new versions of Linux, and Windows 7+.

I use OpenSUSE, because it has YaST, which is basically the Control Panel in Windows. Without it, I'd have to use the terminal. It also installs on just about anything.

I agree with the first sentence, but the second is wrong due to Proton, and the third is demonstrably wrong if you take a look at their GitHub. Windows Caldulator is better than anything Linux has, and WinGet is a decent attempt at making Windows finally have a native package manager.
WinGet even does manage packages like you'd expect when installing and uninstalling MSIX packages, and the ease of merely requesting manifests even beats the OBS.
Of course they're making good software. Why wouldn't they be? They're a competent software development company that much of the world chooses to rely upon. There's gonna be a reason for it. System admins on a whole generally aren't totally stupid.
Even whilst Balmer was CEO, some under-the-hood Windows and Azure changes were quite impressive. He merely screwed up everything he was able to touch, which admittedly was an absolute tonne.

Once the opposite occurred to me. Fedora overwrote my Windows installation. Dual-booting isn't safe.
