it's not like it would have changed anything in my life or whatever, but i wish at some point in high school bio or in some kids' science picture book someone had explained straight out that protein is not just, like, the nutritious gunk inside an egg; proteins are *tiny machines* with, like, moving parts. They *do things* and *make other stuff*.

(someone probably did and I just didn't read it, or maybe I read it once then forgot it? Anyway I wish it had been emphasized a little more)

Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse

I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter. So when Twitter was accidentally purchased

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

Why was that necessary?

#Samsung devices from today can no longer install custom ROMs.

Odin is gone and the Download Mode is also gone, which makes life hard also for repair services that want to restore a device.

This is your daily reminder that #Android is a liability, and major hardware manufacturers who ship Google’s version of Android are a liability too.

We need to get Linux phones to work, and we need manufacturers who are aligned with our principles.

Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power users

Samsung has released a controversial update that disables a tool widely relied upon by power users and service centers.

don't use the term "sideloading", it was coined by the industry to make installing arbitrary applications sound ominous and to justify their snakeoil security and taking away your control over devices you are supposed to own

just call it installing
