If he's being a putin stooge because it's good for his business, he's still being a putin stooge.

Just because the gameplay was very simple doesn't make it crap. The details (movement speed, the gap between the obstacles) were pretty much on point and that's something that makes or breaks this kind of game.

Last but not least, it had little to none anti-user "features" that plague the modern games. I would choose Flappy Bird over most current games any time of the day. Actually there is no "would" in there as I still have it installed.

Well, that's certainly a color scheme.

Even with a literal depiction of Hitler this might be the least nazi stonetoss comic I've seen in a while.

The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you're interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/

In your specific case, it's twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

Whether it was a successful coup is a separate matter.

From their FAQ:

Q: What shells does Wave Terminal support?
A: We currently only support bash. […]

Seems at least dishonest to advertise it as a "terminal" if it works only with a specific shell. It's okay to have extra features enabled by escape codes emitted by the shell, but if it goes beyond that, I'd say it's not just a terminal anymore.

I expect the Flatpak sandbox to protect my ~/ from getting cluttered by applications, not to protect me from any actually malicious software. The post's premise seems misguided.

people will never be okay with the level of intrusive data mining required for OpenAI or Google’s business model

Where do you meet these people? I need more of such people in my life.

I loathe the very fact they made people call it "sideloading". It's just installing on your own terms, like it used to be the norm.

I remember it definitely being a very common thing in USA a decade or so ago. I never knew it disappeared. I don't think it would ever fly in Europe.

This is not Xiaomi's fault, it's Google's. It's the limitation of the gesture navigation in the older Android versions (Android 10 or so). Nothing Xiaomi can do about it on Android 10, even if they wanted. I'm not sure how much better it is these days, but I've heard now it can work with 3rd party launchers to some degree.
