I wonder if it might be about things like tethering, I remember for a while US carriers (AT&T I think?) used to lock it under a specific plan, but unlocking the bootloader/rooting let you bypass this limit


Isn't that what Windows 11 LTSC is though? At least a lot of it removed?


Not firmware, but is there any chance Core would release the app as open source too? It's weird to have the library open, yet the app itself closed source, especially with how bare bones it is, it could be a nice gesture of good faith, show it's not about being "closed" for example


For what it's worth he IS contributing to libpebble3 at least, but yes most of it is closed

I do get the idea, he wants to build hardware and thus needs to be able to do whatever he wants to the code and not wait for merges but it sucks he seems to probably take it too far, for example not using the Rebble mobile app and instead making his own around the library, that's also closed source


I mean, it’s not that I necessarily blame him for taking stuff that is open source, but giving the impression that you will not sideline the others entirely and then doing so anyway feels icky.

I wouldn’t want to deal with a random open source project while running a company either, but I wouldn’t try to pretend to either, I hope.


They tried with the "Boox E43", they apparently just grabbed random IMEI numbers, so hopefully for their next try they'll actually get the right range https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2870190#p...


One day, Boox might release the Linux kernel source code they're normally obligated to make available under the GPL. Today is not that day. Too bad this issue is slowly becoming irrelevant as times goes on.


Israel has pretty tight relationship with other western powers, and more specifically the US, and also tries to attract people from said western countries to come to Israel. Whereas the Palestinians are constantly killed and forced to move, and refused a stable home and country. Not sure how you want to create social reforms and progress when you don't even have basic security for living safely. You can only advance social issues if you have the mental bandwidth and means to do so, not by being constantly attacked and bombed for more than 50 years now.

I also don't condition not supporting massive amounts of civilian murder with LGBT rights. These can come after. For now the killing has to stop, regardless.


putting aside multiple "incorrectness" in your statement, 89% of palestinians support sharia as law of the land. removing occupation won't make them into society where lgbt live long and prosper. brief look at neighborhood will be a good example.

and just for lols: https://brusselssignal.eu/2025/09/not-all-in-the-same-boat-g...


Should our support for Israel killing Palestinians indiscriminately be inversely proportional to gay rights in Palestine? Does that make any sense?

Anyway Israel has fascists in power. They aren’t the good guys any more, if they ever were.


i think you commented on wrong post, because this is not what discussed in this thread.


No, definitely the correct post. Israelis and Israel defenders like to try to whitewash Israeli war crimes by talking about gay rights. It is irrelevant. Palestine could (and maybe is) be the most homophobic place on the planet—it is irrelevant, they still don't deserve to be killed.


poster said that gay marriage in israel is illegal. i said that its legal. because it is. this was the essence of the conversation.

not sure where whitewashing is.


How? They're not actual people, companies don't need a union to represent AI characters because AI characters don't need any breaks or good worn conditions, because they're not real


I've seen unions do many things that don't seem to make sense at first sight (and often not subsequently either). But in this case, it does make perfect sense to me - unions like SAG-AFTRA could claim that AI-generated "actors" used for speaking roles unfairly displace their own members while not paying union fees. So as part of their negotiations with the studios, they could demand that such "AI actors" would be registered in SAG-AFTRA as due paying actors [0].

[0] (For human actors) These are currently set at an initiation fee of $3,060, annual dues of $241.32 plus work dues of 1.575% of covered earnings up to $1M - https://www.sagaftra.org/membership-benefits/membership-cost...


Is it? I thought not being a proper citizen of the country was the reason to not be able to vote, would you want to also get the danish citizenship then?


His company is gonna fold in the future anyway, so I don't think it matters much
