Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

1·15 days agoI thought it was supposed to be an infinite amount of monkeys, since it’s known as “infinite monkey theorem”, but apparently, according to Wikipedia,
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. […]
[…] can be generalized to state that any sequence of events that has a non-zero probability of happening will almost certainly occur an infinite number of times, given an infinite amount of time or a universe that is infinite in size.
However, I think, as long as either the timeframe or monkey amount is infinite, it should lead to the same results. So, why even limit one of them on this theoretical level after all?
The linked study even seems to limit both, so they’re not quite investigating the actual classic theorem of one monkey with infinite time, it seems.
Ok. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this.
Since you (or any majority in society) naturally don’t have the right to forcefully take other people’s money (or property) without their consent, it’s impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. It does not matter how good of a deal it is to you or anyone else. That’s why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won’t pay.
Right, most animals can only zoo!
I guess that’s the big game …
You have the option to spoof/fake/mock it manually with an app. This one, it seems, even has some available add-ons for mocking UnifiedNlp data and more…)
Mock my GPS (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location/
Mock my GPS UnifiedNlp Backend (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.service.microg_nlp_backend/
Mock Silently (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.silently/
Possibly you’ll have to enable dev options and set the location spoofing app in there. At least, I remember seeing the option in there, but that was years ago.

Just curious – which app is that? Seemingly not Eternity, as I’m using that, and you do not appear purple in here, but I’m always interested in exploring alternatives to the apps I’m using.
3·29 days agoThere once was a Jack for the headphones
But Samsung would crackle the dead bones
Flagships, before shipping,
in shits they were dipping
Hence, now they’re the lords of the shit thrones…
Could very well be an eSIM …
1·1 month agoby plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I’m watching it and not record one channel while watching another
That actually makes sense if we’re talking DVB-[C, S or T] channels received through an internal hardware tuner. A tuner can only tune in on one frequency at once. To record one channel while watching another, it would need to have two internal tuners, which isn’t very common and, I’d say, not something to expect unless specifically advertised.
Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in.
Warranty?

There once was a man who went mad
When YouTube kept forcing an ad
They kept crossing his border,
So he bought this camcorder
Now he’s looping his own tape of a cat.
Manjarno, manjarno

And even in some prototype bus, the Gyrobus, in the 50’s that used an electrically charged flywheel that was also (to some degree) regeneratively recharged when breaking:
Rather than carrying an internal combustion engine or batteries, or connecting to overhead powerlines, a gyrobus carries a large flywheel that is spun at up to 3,000 RPM by a “squirrel cage” motor.[1] Power for charging the flywheel was sourced by means of three booms mounted on the vehicle’s roof, which contacted charging points located as required or where appropriate (at passenger stops en route, or at terminals, for instance). To obtain tractive power, capacitors would excite the flywheel’s charging motor so that it became a generator, in this way transforming the energy stored in the flywheel back into electricity. Vehicle braking was electric, and some of the energy was recycled back into the flywheel, thereby extending its range.

Right, I forgot to mention that’s possible too!
Thanks for mentioning SunVox, which sent me down a rabbithole of a multitude of interesting software from the same developer. I have even played with the one called PhonoPaper maybe 8 years ago, without knowing of all the other projects! There are many music-related apps, and also PixiVisor that transmits video over audio, which I find fascinating for visual DSP. Seems like next-level SSTV, and would be fun to try over radio - like a LoFi TV signal!
Unfortunately, it seems that the Android versions of most/all(?) of the projects are outdated, and not supported on my phone’s newer version of Android, but other versions probably still work on different OSs.
The SunVox library for developers (rather than just the JS-based player) seems very interesting to me. If I’m not misunderstanding, it could be used to build some interesting custom browser-based synth GUIs, or behind the scenes for playing live adaptive and/or generative game music+FX. I’ll definitely be looking into that sometime, though so far I’ve only been scratching the surface of software development, but with the help of LLMs I have recently been able to prototype some interesting ideas (music-based games too!) that seemed totally out of my reach before that.
Feel free to let me know if you ever get around to doing something along the lines of what you were describing. Sounds like a (more) straightforward way of using SunVox to reduce the game size.
“rendering” the music and some of the graphics.
I think that’s what’s called procedural audio/graphics. For audio, it’s like building synthesizers into the game, to then be able to play the music/fx as a program (sort of like sheet music) instead of an audio file.
Just close it straight away…
It seems it has a single widget, “status widget”.
I found this site, pakphones.com with a link for the US730. Right now, unfortunately, cloudflare can’t reach the ul.to host, but if you haven’t tried this one, one could hope it actually works some day.
I also found a (possibly dead) link at this site, lg-firmwares.com, though it’s cookie, captcha and waiting time protected, and the download doesn’t begin for me right now…
Your search string also lead me to this forum thread, where I found a relevant filename to look for: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab
This lead me back to the pakphones blog, where I found these (possibly dead) links to relevant files on this page:
You have probably already seen all or most of this, but maybe there’s some missing puzzle piece somewhere in this information?
Note: the .cab files mentioned in this post are not URLs, even though (at least my) Lemmy client formats them as that.
