re: grapheneos
@hyperreal That could be a legitimate criticism on the writing, but certainly not something that warrants several angry tirades that then use this as an excuse to dismiss the original criticisms and pause work on accessibility entirely, not in the least because the author of the post is reliant on such accessibility mechanisms and therefore already structurally disadvantaged. It's kind of absurd to expect/demand perfect writing under those circumstances.
Which is why I don't trust GrapheneOS in this exchange, in the slightest.

Anyone got a favorite C, C++, or python drawing API that at minimum provides rendering polygons and lines of text? I'm looking for something that is fast to set up and sketch things out without having to fuss with lots of custom boilerplate. Basically looking for alternatives to Cairo and PyGame. My priorities are fast, easy to set up, reasonably simple API, and a permissive license.
EDIT: leading candidates are openframeworks, allegro5, and thorvg or lvgl. honorable mention: godot turduckin

i should as probably clarify that i'm of the disinterested opinion that android and steam should not be aspirational for linux developers, simply because android and steam already exist and maybe we shouldn't waste our efforts giving people a half hearted alternative to something that already works well for them. i don't think linux "should" be any one thing. i think it's at its best when it can be a lot of different things, but that means people developing for it often work cross purposes
grapheneos (2)
It's just an absolute torrent of "this person is lying about us! they're trying to attack us!" and constantly repeating that to anyone expressing their dissatisfaction while the suggestions on how to resolve this problem go entirely unreplied

now obviously there's distros that don't do that, but they pull from the same pool of software, so that mentality still bleeds through in lots of ways. android and steam deck both notably go out of their way to give you something else as the frontend and default software ecosystem, and let (to varying degrees) the bold and the technically inclined peel it back if they want to. i think that's interesting

In past conflicts surrounding GrapheneOS I've generally avoided drawing conclusions about who's at fault (despite being asked to!) because of not having the details of the situation, and not wanting to jump to conclusions.
But let's just say that the GrapheneOS folks are very quickly changing my mind about that, and not in a good way, by continuing to post endless aggressive accusations of "attacks" and "falsehoods", often multiple of them in quick succession, without any sort of concrete detail, or seemingly even responding to people trying to start a conversation.
Like, this is throwing up *so many* red flags for me it's not even funny.

there's ample proof that linux can be distributed in ways that are non-hostile enough that every day people can use it without a significant investment into learning technical and philosophical minutiae (android, steam deck). given that many major distros still gate having a working computer on understanding the "non-free" shibboleth, I think it's reasonable to conclude the main thing holding back widespread adoption is the community is still largely not willing to meet people where they're at
@GrapheneOS Okay. What are the false claims, exactly? And I don't need a long explanation right now, just a bulletpoint list of the specific claims you are talking about, because this is entirely unclear.
re: tech question
@dysphoricunicorn DNS change delays are usually a result of needing to wait for an (often 24 hour) cache to expire - maybe this is just more likely to happen in the late afternoon because that's when a lot of people come home and are likely to start looking up sites, and so in the evening you're just at the start of the cache window and it takes the maximal time to get to expiry?

(forgetting the word "euler") greaser angles
It's baffling how many applications lock up, balloon in memory use, continue doing something in the background (with the UI now missing) once you 'cancel' it, provide zero immediate UI feedback, or otherwise completely break as soon as a remote server is a bit flaky or slow to respond.
bittorrent protocol question
Is it me or did BEP-0044 not get updated in BitTorrent v2 to use SHA256, and it's still stuck on SHA1?

@joepie91 that's fair, and that is absolutely a positive thing. I just miss the shitty TVP+Food Glue+Broccoli Stem pucks that no longer seen to be available around here.

@rallias (Also the quality of cheap vegan proteins has improved *massively* here in the past year or two, in general, both in terms of flavour, texture, and nutritional content)

@rallias You can still get them here! They're just not the only option anymore.
