@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn I saw that already. My problem is I think I need to know what cable is needed to make this work.

like usb-a to usb-c data transfer?

I dunno myself.

I assume that is it though.

@stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn

What are you talking about?

I am lost. This seems like irrelevant banter.

Correct me though if I am wrong.

#3 Re: Off-topic » Anyone have familiarity with GrapheneOS? » Today 06:10:25

@steve_v I don't blame you for being skeptical of anything Google. But therr phones are honestly less crappy then most others. I am used to bloatware samsung by comparison.  Google Pixel 7 even with android on it is less bloated then the samsung's android. 

Which is kind of sad for the samsung. Being worse than google is pathetic, for real.

by usb data cable, I assume you mean one made for transferring files. In any case,

Honestly, the only point I am probably confused about that you made is your first point.  I'll have to look on amazon or something to see what data cable I need probably.

Btw, appreciate you being helpful on this matter. Its a nice change.

Like, what kind of cable is needed, the steps needed to be taken, how to get it detected via webusb, etc...

I dislike chromium, but firefox alas does not support webusb.

(unfortunate...)

Anywho, I wondered if anyone has done this before on a pixel 7. Mine has OEM unlockable setting and I a long time ago did a jailbreak on an old samsung phone.

So I am not completely lost.

But anywho, feel free to help if you know how to do this.

Reasons for wanting to do this?

Google is scary with its tentacles even on  their pixel devices which are more secure than most other android devices.

Which is for their competition very sad that they do security worse than Google. tongue

@golinux perhaps true, but he definitely tries to antagonize me.

I am glad I unsubscribed so I only have to see this problem if I want to.

#6 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » Yesterday 07:45:10

@greenjeans I admit I have my own issues, but I don't like being condemned every damn time I come on here to say something.

I would like to have peace, but I find it unlikely since he likes to poke at me even when I  am just making a thread that has zippo to do with him.

GNOME, alt right wingers, redhat. I dislike all three of them and he cannot accept that people need a place to vent about them.

Which is why, I dislike him so, he won't let me vent without throwing his piss on me.

Anywho, I very much hope peace can be found. But I am kind of skeptical given most of what he does is try to start stuff.

#7 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » Yesterday 02:42:21

@steve_v I normally don't say this, but I am not going to be insulted by reading your trash post.

If you want to torment people, don't expect them to take it.

You are rather tiresome and I don't wish to play games with you. Just stop posting. I dislike you more each time you post.

Just accept we won't get along anytime you go at me.

I will give you worse flack if I must.

You are nothing more than a doppleganger. You feed off of my suffering. Get lost.

Btw, one last thing, I have donated to projects before.

Hyperbola (More than 2K not kidding!)
Libreboot
Noscript
Trisquel (long ago very!)
Palemoon
and I forget what else

So I don't think parasite is appropriate for me.

Might be you, I don't really know if you donate ever.

There are projects worth supporting, but Desktop Environments with flashy eye candy is on the bottom of my list.

Window managers? Some.

Anywho, I am done adding my last bits. I am unsubscribing from this mess, I don't know if I will look back to see what you wrote or not. You are such an unforgivably vindictive  person.

#8 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-07-10 07:25:35

@steve_v and I will give you respect when you stop acting like an ass.

#9 Re: News & Announcements » Chrome based browsers and uBlock Origin » 2025-07-10 06:51:23

Netflix is garbage. They want DRM to watch their videos. And these big corporations wonder why some people stream illegally.

The irony is thick.

#10 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-07-10 06:27:32

@blackhole in my experience, only fascists use rhetoric like based (as positive) or woke (as negative)

Neither of those words are being used in their correct context. the dev of xlibre used woke in that sense.  So just to be clear, that is a mega red flag already.

even without anything else.  Although xlibre might be fine. I don't know if I can trust alt righ twingers to do coding correctly.

Besides, isn't Xenocara also available? and that is developed by really good coders.

OpenBSD devs though toxic, are really good at coding.

@steve_v oh the humanity, I dare to have a different opinion than you! I won't stay quiet so I keep saying how I feel!

God forbid I do that!

I should just never say another word on here and let you vilify me as much as you want without any checks or balances.

I am sorry I didn't realize this!

/s

#12 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-28 10:09:40

@steve_v wrong thread pretty sure. If you are going to get pissed at me, at least respond correctly on the thread where you say I offended you.

Also, I don't use GNOME. I never really used GNOME much. MATE? Yeah, but if GNOME disappeared, or for that matter, every DE, I wouldn't care at all.

Especially GNOME3 and forks of it or KDE 5+ or GNOME 4 and similar.

My point being, I find fault with GNOME precisely because I find it unusable without crap and it doesn't offer much to me in the first place.

I have tried it, but it sucks. Lumina Desktop, LXDE and XFCE4 and MATE look fine.

But DEs usually require unneeded dependencies anyhow so... its a waste.

#13 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-28 01:08:46

I don't like corporate nonsense or fascist nonsense. GNOME devs are very low on the integrity bar for sure. Although... so are people who use woke as a negative.

Woke means awake and nothing else. It doesn't mean the opposite of based unless people have brain damage.

There is so much stupid dogmatic internet slang for fascism that needs to disappear. Woke, Based consoomer and other stupid stuff like that just gives me a headache.

people like Luke Smith encourage this dumb slang and I detest it. Not to mention their artwork of old people and green fbi agents, frog animations, etc...

Just a very annoying list of crap. The internet has enough bad slang without all of that being added.

This is one of the reasons I cannot stand people like Luke Smith and Bryan Lunduke and other similar parasitic people.

Its also ironic that right wingers now claim to be for linux, when they are the ones who tried to crush the movement of linux in the first place!

Irony, irony, irony...

Anyways, this rant is brought to you by many headaches and beyond.

#14 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-28 00:56:41

@steve_v bikeshedding crowd? What the hell is that?

You sure use some unusual analogies

#15 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-25 03:44:27

@golinux I hear steve_v was trying to compile it for that purpose.

I don't know if he did.

#16 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-25 03:18:22

I am not brave enough to try running xenocara or xlibre from a source build myself.

So I say, you bold.

#17 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Where to view system requirements Devuan » 2025-06-25 03:17:15

if you want a window manager and a web browser like palemoon, you might only need 1GB of ram.

But then again, I know more people prefer flashy DEs, so there's that.

#18 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-06-25 03:15:50

@aitor looks interesting... you have a point.

#19 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-22 15:49:14

@steve_v yes, that is true I suppose. Although, I was talking about people who actually are intending to be those things. You are talking about people who aren't intending to be.

So there is that.

#20 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-21 14:25:37

@steve_v I have had no problems with Xenocara.

But you certainly are being very harsh. Maybe, chill?

That to me is childish.

Just sayin...

#21 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-06-21 12:29:55

@aitor what do you mean by vdev? ZFS?

Curious.

If you mean ZFS, I think there are better options for Hyperbola, such as HAMMER2.

#22 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-21 12:27:48

@Steve_v I couldnt really understand what you were trying to say here:

"@steve_v *is waiting for Xlibre to finish compiling right now*
And you? Yeah, that's what I thought..."

Btw. Xenocara has better principles in place anyhow. Why not try compiling that? Hyperbola did it, I bet it could be done in devuan too.

Yes pledge and unveil wouldn't work, but its worked fine for me.

#23 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-20 04:20:16

@steve_v as usual... punching down rather than punching up.

Its easy for you to criticize a small person so you choose that. Congratulations, you just played yourself.

Zzzzzzzzzzz....

Xenocara is the best option btw.

Xlibre could be good, but I am not certain yet of if he, the person in charge of it, is pushing his political beliefs on it.

Till I know, I will stick with my support for Xenocara only.

Now if you excuse me, I don't take pleasure in playing with your childish insults or in fighting them either.

#25 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-17 03:53:29

@brocashelm I don't know if or when they will embrace wayland.

Its possible you are right, but I don't know yet. I am undecided on what I think will happen with that.
