on GrapheneOS Isn't Happy With Google Over Pixel's Widening Head Start in c/opensource@lemmy.ml · 2d ago
When it comes to laptops, I’m personally sticking with x86 until there are faster RISC-V CPUs available that I can daily drive in a laptop.
Even though ARM has much better battery life compared to x86, I’d still just be trading one proprietary architecture for another.

The Fairphone 6 and 6+ can theoretically work with any distro that has 64 bit ARM support. The close-to-mainline kernel fork is where most of the important work is being done, and the rest is in portable open source software (like VoLTE support in userspace, for example).

If you don’t already have the Jolla hardware, I’d consider getting a Fairphone 6 or 6+ instead and using TheMightyCat’s build of postmarketOS. They’ve been doing some insane work with hardware enablement on the close-to-mainline kernel for that phone to the point where it’s almost 100% fully functional.

on How one woman’s Tesla was remotely controlled – and used to harass her – by an abusive ex-partner in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
I think the problem here is more that the car has a network connection. I’m not sure how you could feasibly have an EV that isn’t fly-by-wire (meaning controlled by a computer or microcontroller).
Even something like a BMS is, in and of itself a computer.
The only wireless connectivity a car should have is Bluetooth to connect your phone to the head unit that is disconnected from the rest of the car.
It’s be nice to see some kind of modern EV run fully open source software.

Well yeah. One lf the requirements of being a billionaire is having no shame.
The other requirement is sociopathy.

on OC: How I Removed the Mic Component from 2 Remotes in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 14 Sep 2026
There is also the chance that the PCB has more than 2 layers and the traces connecting the microphone to the next component (which could be BGA mounted, such as a pin of an IC) is inaccessable.

Other people already answered your question, so gotta ask. What’s your favorite 2600 game? I gotta go with Missile Command if I had to pick.

Ableton is a digital audio workstation popular for use in producing electronic music. CDJ is a series of digital turntables produced by Pioneer for use in DJing, usually combined with a mixer, which if you’re staying with the popular Pioneer brand, is probably going to be one of the DJM series mixers.
All of the above is, of course, absolutely proprietary and quite overpriced.

Zrythm is FOSS if you want something with a quasi-similar workflow to Ableton.

The problem is the system that allows for corruption to exist in the first place.

Also the chances of any kind of meaningful change happening from just one oerson rocking the boat is very small compared to if there was mass organizing, which is very difficult in the US due to a multitude of reasons, such as a car-centric culture, billionaires successfully propagandizing the public into blaming each other rather than the elite, global mass surveillance, active sabotage of any even remotely anti-capitalist organizational efforts, etc.

on Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunch in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
I don’t know if corrupt is quite the right word. They all certainly engage in heavy amounts of corruption to gain their power, but they also heavilly engage in other horrid practices to the same end, such as exploitation of their collective workforce, userbase, and supply chain.
The root of all of this, of course, is capitalism, which not only enables, but encourages this sociopathic power-seeking behavior.

on A judge orders Kalshi to stop offering most of its prediction contracts in Washington state, after finding it likely violated state gambling-related laws in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
I wonder if a good enough lawmaker can write a law to nip that problem in the bud.
When it comes to an ME/PSP analog, there is ARM TrustZone, but each vendor has their own implementation, so whether or not it constantly runs in the background, has full access to system memory, and is completely proprietary is up to each vendor. When it comes to phones and laptops that support cellular connections on the other hand, the integrated baseband, which also has full access to system RAM and is proprietary would be my main concern.
RISC-V has a memory tagging implementation: github.com/riscv/riscv-memory-tagging/tree/main
Both AMD and Intel are working together on an x86 memory tagging implementation called ChkTag: community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/…/1721490
AMD iGPUs are hard to beat for things like gaming. IDK much about running AI models, since I don’t care much about that kind of stuff.
Power efficiency is really the only thing that ARM has over x86. Also RISC-V theoretically has better power efficiency compared to ARM, though since RISC-V is so new, more advanced implementations would need to be developed first in order to match the performance per watt in a full-fledged desktop-class CPU.
