>Nothing beats flashing a good ol' Motorola phone, though

I have experience flashing Moto G4-5 plus phones. I think you need to:

- get its IMEI
- submit it to the Moto website to get a "flash unlock code"
- (which may/not void warranty... manufacturers voiding warranty for unofficial repairs is illegal in the USA, unless you break your phone doing the repairs... Is warranty is useless in Venezuela?)
- Hold power+volume down (not up) for 4 seconds to reboot to bootloader mode
- PC: fastboot unlock
- enter the "flash unlock code" into cmd
- phone wipes data, and you can install twrp

Also Magisk (not supersu) is the newest Android rooting standard, based off systemless rooting AKA instead of modifying the system partition, use union-mounts to add/override files and folders at boot time. You should research Magisk, I heard they're adding support for older Android versions like 4.4.

You could write your own Magisk module.

Magisk modules can modify /system/ paths by replacing the /system/ mount with a union(system partition, all modules combined as magisk.img) mount.

They can add or overwrite files (eg. with 0 bytes), delete files (apparently complicated or slow), or add/erase folders? idk.

I think Magisk modules are literally just "mount with shadowing".

Aurora and Yalp are both missing many obscure search results. Maybe apps which are not globally available, or region-locked, are missing.

Yalp allows unchecking "allow apps with ads", or "apps requiring GSF". Aurora has similar filters but I have no clue how they work.

>there are people who genuinely revere C in a toxically masculine way.

I know a person (ax6) on Discord (pret server) who thinks "safe languages just create an illusion of safety, since CPUs are unsafe", "semantic type systems don't reflect what the actual hardware is doing", and "if you're making a mistake on C, it's because you're not a good enough programmer".

He also claimed accidentally duplicating <code>if() goto fail; goto fail;</code> "happened because someone committed code without re-reading what they wrote" and "I mean, how many people looked at this and said "yep, looks OK"?"... Which seems reasonable enough, actually.

I think "anything safer than C is bad" is a counterproductive and elitist (and toxic) attitude. I also think that blaming it on "masculinity", and claiming elitist behavior is somehow "masculine" is a discriminatory man-hating stereotype.

>Those all seem like things that should fall under "if you aren't using assembly, you aren't really programming."

Good guess, pret is a Discord server where people try to decompile Pokemon games into "matching" C, where using the original (leaked or obtained via GPL) compilers produces matching binaries/ROMs with the same checksum.

>It insists into navigating my music as FILES, not by album/artist/etc.

In my experience, if you're doing anything other than passively consuming perfectly tagged content, displaying the file names I pick is good, and relying on metadata is dumb.

Dolphin Emulator displays each game's "internal name". For Wii games, it actually shows the save file name if the game has created one already. It doesn't show the ISO file name or path (unsure if changed recently).

This is useless when I have 3 edited Mario Kart Wii ISOs with the same game name and save file name. But if I change the game ID to distinguish the files, then all edited game files have no save progress, locking me out of half the "track slots" and karts and characters. The solution to my self-made problem is downloading a questionably 100% save file and spending extra time importing it.

I've worked with audio MIDI editing, SPC creation, SPC game rips, etc.

- foobar2000 defaults to displaying Artist/album (? - ?), Track no (), Title / track artist (filename without extension), and duration (1:00).
- The file name, extension (or format), and file size (all important) are not shown by default.
- I recall having several files, converted from each other, and only distinguished by extension.

Are you saying pret is stupid? Because they decompiled the entire SM64 source code... quickly because it was compiled in debug mode lol

back on topic...
A few months back, I noticed that all Java Swing apps were missing checkboxes and scrollbars (invisible but clickable). The issue was tracked internally as https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8218469 .
From gtk 3.20, gtk has changed the way themes and styles work for many widgets. As per https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch32s10.html, gtk no longer depends on style classes and type names for style matching, but uses element names. Due to which, jdk is not able to render some widgets properly including JSlider. I have tested this by running the SwingSet2 and attached reproducer test.
Clicking on the link, I read the following:
The way theming works in GTK+ has been reworked fundamentally, to implement many more CSS features and make themes more expressive. As a result, custom CSS that is shipped with applications and third-party themes will need adjustments.
Not only does GTK 3.20 break themes, but it breaks applications, and it breaks Java Swing's GTK frontend.

Will Manifest v3 break uBlock Origin? uMatrix (the ability to ban all requests from specific hosts)? The ability for extensions to block all JS?

I'm speculating uBlock Origin (combats Instart Logic proxied ads) will be the first casualty, though it doesn't seem gorhill has mentioned it?

Who cares if my ISP knows I'm trying to connect with www.mybank.com.ve or fuckyoucommunists.org or loli.porn?

I care that the government isn't building profiles of people for social credit scores, for arresting people, etc.. That my school isn't looking. that my ISP isn't spying on my DNS queries for advertising. That an employer isn't looking to monitor workers' internet activity and invade their privacy.

Midori and Netsurf are small, lean, and have limited HTML support too. Falkon is based off QWebEngine and Chromium. IDK what else exists.

On Windows, the Qt SDK with precompiled libraries takes 4.5-5 gigabytes for MinGW, and 450-600MB for MSVC2017... why?

Most of that is the pre-compiled binaries... like for every c file and the macro nightmare.

It also depends what the install options for VS are.

If I check "Sources", the installer says it'll take up 2.21 GB.

I'm more concerned why Qt's MinGW libraries/headers take up an order of magnitude more than Qt's MSVC libraries/headers do. Should I file a Qt bug? Install MinGW and see what files take up space?

so I installed qt mingw and took a screenshot in SpaceSniffer: https://uc0b7db4571c154768201fd670cc.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/inline/ArPRyPapTjs5Yg7BSEs0b6X_nfGLUPFiaokpnYfIWtgc6eqN5hEOT2PQPt5rV-H9xo2kMC8tDjoHDiU1BzTacWZ54Cee08fLFmmcysjxfg5CNrwKT9RmD0rYjrSTQOAp39M/file

I would've prefered a tree view, but whatever...

I think the issue is that Qt's MinGW (right of image) has debug DLLs like "Qt5Cored.dll" with enormous file sizes, whereas the equivalent debug DLLs in MSVC are small.

I think Qt5Guid.dll is (Qt5, Gui, debug) and not (Qt5, GUID) as in UUID.
