there’s more to an operating system that a program needs other than the kernel(?)
Yes, and the other parts have other names, like the toolkit GTK or the C standard library glibc and all those things make up a Linux distribution, like Fedora.
android just uses the kernel
Yes and the kernel’s name is “Linux”. No other software is named “Linux”. Ask Linus Torvalds if you don’t believe me.
not doubtful, a lot of compositors, kwin included can run nested.
It’s not a question if some of Plasma Mobile could run in that VM. It’s a question if anything usable is possible. I highly doubt Google will make it possible to call phone numbers etc. in that VM.
With diffs sometimes around 5m lines of code (in case of qcom)
Nobody’s denying that. Many embedded distributions targeted special hardware are like that.
Phones don’t really have that
Can it run x86_64 programs
The article sound like it will work for x86 devices running Android as well. I don’t think this is about emulation.
Plasma Mobile for Android? 🤔
Doubtful. A VM doesn’t have access to the underlying hardware (unless explicitly passed through).
I’ll just run Linux shit on…Linux
Android is a variant of Linux, just not GNU/Linux because of not using glibc.
There’s more hardware in a notebook than just the CPU. It’s pointless without network and GPU drivers, for example. Also the ARM DeviceTree stuff is BS.
I mean, I do that sometimes, and it’s honestly not hard.
Keep doing it for your stuff, don’t try to make a rule for others to do the same.
I expect the same from others.
That’s the problem. You shouldn’t. It’s not your call to make. Deal with it.
I’m explaining the sentiment I see here.
The sentiment here is that a loud minority cries about a tiny fraction of submissions when they could just not watch the videos in the first place.
All I’m saying is to put in a little effort to link a relevant text article or add a few bullet points that the video covers. That’s it.
Literally nobody is stopping you from doing that for other submissions. Don’t task unpaid community members to do work for you, just because you don’t like videos.
Exactly. And with AI tools, getting a transcript and generating a summary shouldn’t be all that hard.
Write a summary bot then.
I’m not watching a random video someone posts just based on the headline
Then don’t.
I need a bit more reason to invest my time to contribute to the discussion.
You’re not that important. If you don’t contribute to a discussion just because the submission is a video, nobody will notice.
Don’t fucking post a two hour video that contains a few paragraphs of info then
You clearly don’t know what a summary is. I can summarize Lord of the Rings in three sentences. The details are still important.
If you don’t want to watch such a video, DON’T WATCH IT! Don’t forbid others to like what they like!
There’s a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too.
The headline here does not need to be the same as the headline in the article. Other communities have rules not to editorialize headlines, this community does not. “Review of tech gadget X by outlet Y” is a perfectly fine headline here.
The purpose is to get you to watch the video, not to actually tell you what’s in the video.
There is no rule here to copy the video title into the submission headline. The submission here could be titled “PlayStation 5 Pro benchmarks by Digital Foundry”, no matter how DF names the video on YouTube. Demanding summaries of videos that can easily be longer than 45 minutes is just not reasonable at all.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect others to do the same.
Yes, it is. For a deep dive video a summary is easily several paragraphs long. Not only takes it time to write the summary, for a deep dive it would include making notes during the video, pausing several times, etc. In such a case of a deep dive, this can be an hour of work. So if you want summaries, you do the work. Don’t demand that from others and claim this is somehow a compromise.
Maybe you shouldn’t be active on a link aggregator platform then.
How about you write the summaries in the comments then if it’s just a bit of extra work?
a summary would be more than sufficient to quickly determine whether or not I would be interested in watching anyway.
That’s what the headlien is for.
