I missed this at the time, that fold-out keyboard looks incredible

Doesn’t Windows leave program files and data all over the place too?

!linuxphones@lemmy.ca and !linuxphones@lemmy.ml aren’t the busiest communities but there do seem to be a few people giving it a proper go

As if an exe could truly understand unix socks

Maybe get the cheapest micro sd card or usb drive you can find and install it on there? You could probably double your storage size for a couple of euros!

I suppose technically yes, but not in normal conversation (in Britain at least). It’s not like it’s completely nonsensical, but to us school is primary and secondary education, higher education is university; they’re distinctly different things and saying “gets kicked out of school” would be way less ambiguous.

I think it was a combination of more space on the cartridge and better compression algorithms. The rumour was that Iwata wrote some miraculous code that produced enough space to include Kanto too, but I think that’s apocryphal.

You can tell that Kanto was an afterthought by how easy it is in comparison, it was still great though

Yeah but that can be done after you’re finished, definitely shouldn’t be part of planning!

Is “blackout” a bingo term for filling every box, or just falling unconscious from overwork?

Americans call uni “school”

Well professional developers are often employed by companies that want make use of open source code to sell their proprietary code. It seems more likely to me that those companies will instruct their developers not to work on any GPL code rather than some big ideological shift in the individual developers.

A long time ago I worked on a project which had all the user-facing text strings in their own separate file (for ease of translation). I didn’t think much more of it at the time, but even if I was just rubber-stamping this PR then seeing that a code-only refactor was touching the strings file would raise an eyebrow.

Same principle as a former burglar who now installs security systems or a former soldier who now works as a bodyguard. You’ve got the skills, you just want to use them in a different way!

Not showing up for me, did they only add it recently?

Good to know, thanks!

Behold, the master hacker

automatically lock the phone a few minutes after the screen turns off

Isn’t the default behaviour of phones to lock as soon as the screen turns off?

Requirements - Device admin permission for locking screen.

Does this mean it requires root access (which brings additional security concerns) or just that a non-restricted user needs to set it up?

It does? How do you set it up?
