  • If you’re able to code from a terminal, and care about longer battery life (my main concern when working from a coffee shop or elsewhere), I’d recommend getting a used android tablet, pry something from xiaomi or oneplus. You can find a decent model used for around that price with > 8 hour battery life easily.

    Get a good stand, a solid bluetooth keyboard (logitech makes some great portable ones), and put termux on it (can probably handle light python locally).

    If you need it to do CPU powerful tasks, use termux to remote into a VPS or your home server, and let a plugged in linux machine do the work so you can save your device’s battery life. This is how I code at least.

    The lemmy back end in general doesn’t have mobile push notifications yet, those are still a wip.

    The current alternatives are to enable email notifications, or add the inbox feed to an rss reader (although that is pull, not push, so it really isn’t different from the app.)














  • Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.

    Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.

    This comment by Hantong Chen is great:

    Hi James,

    Here’s what Linus has said, and it’s more than just “sanction.”

    Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:

    • Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
    • Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

    For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.
