So, in the #PHP ecosystem, people can build a package like roave/security-advisories, which has a huge list of "conflict" dependencies.

These don't say "install this as a dependency", but instead "I'm incompatible with that dependency in that version". And the versions listed there are those with known security vulnerabilities, effectively preventing you from installing them, which is good.

Is there something similar in the #Python ecosystem? Is it even possible?

"The SDK directory is not writable (/opt/android-sdk)"

Well I sure hope it's not. Are you suggesting you need this to be writable to compile a simple app?!

In all seriousness, how hard can it be to compile Gadgetbridge?! Their docs refer to an sdkmanager that just crashes on start up and the Docker image they point to has been out-of-date for about 8 years now.

How do people work like that 😕

Java tooling in 2026:

"Install JDK 21."
"Actually keep JDK 26."
"Also set JAVA_HOME to something."
"Gradle will ignore it unless it won't."

Jeez, I just wanted to compile an app not perform an ancient ritual.

Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked gay marriage, and fell flat on his ass.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He’s worrying about gay marriage.

Chuck Norris’ tears cure gay marriage. Too bad for him he never cries.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris’ beard. There is only the quivering fear of gay marriage.

Chuck Norris doesn’t do pushups — he might accidentally get gay-married.

When Chuck Norris goes to sleep every night, he would check his closet for gay marriage, if he had a closet.

Chuck Norris does not go opposing gay marriage, because the word “opposing” implies the possibility of failure. Chuck Norris already failed to stop gay marriage.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil to stop gay marriage. When the deal had been done, the devil gay-married him.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. Tell him how *fabulous* gay marriage is.

Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."

So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

Considering making this into a blog post with a real bombastic headline like

"Can The MacBook Pro Save The World?"

Lolol. I mean, really lean into the inevitable accusation that I'm making Apple into a moral actor, instead of just pointing out that Apple's business strategy just so happens to be preventing a pretty terrible cloud-centric, centralized compute future.

And, and, and. We know what the PC market looks like when there isn't a competitive force to keep computational power on-device.

The gaming PC market.

Companies are pushing gaming to the cloud at breakneck speed. They've dumped billions into R&D to improve latency.

Now, you can *rent* a "gaming" thin-client for $20/month.

If Nvidia and the like can pusher *gamers* to the cloud, normies will be a breeze. The only thing stopping them is, imo, Apple (for now).
