The FxTec Pro 1 is the closest I've found these days; it has a slied-out keyboard and an unlocked bootloader so you can run LineageOS or Ubuntu Touch (PMOS support seems spotty).

The keyboard isn't as nice as those on phones from ~2010; it's a bit too big for the thumbs to really fly and sliding it in & out is not as effortless as it should be, but nless you count Unihertz's blackberry-likes, there's really nothing else around that comes close!

This is the conclusion of the article (and presumably the researchers) but I don't think it necessarily follows.

It seems to me equally plausible that one group were more interested in the craft of an accurate depiction, while the other was more interested in the arrangement of a pleasing aesthetic - both could be considered "solutions" to the given task.

>with the intention of killing and without being any kind of strategic strategic objective

Wikipedia says "The airstrike was carried out in the mistaken belief that Italian mechanized troops were stationed in the village. Once over the target, the pilots mistook the market's awnings for military tents." (Carlos Saiz Cidoncha, 2006)

The EU has received at least 69 shipments of Russian LNG in 2026. At this point, who isn't trading with Russia?

Imgur is blocked in the UK, and last I checked blocked connections from VPNs too.

Which scene are you referring to?

Does anyone have any examples of using this in the wild?

I have fond memories of IRC channels full of all sorts of bots; the Matrix and XMPP rooms I've seen don't seem to have nearly as many fun automations.

Does this run on bare metal? Are there any plans to include graphics primitives?

As another comment suggested, Lua seems to lend itself to certain kinds of projects. This looks like it could mesh well with my forever project to rewrite userland in Love2d!

DeltaChat are moving away from "classic email" in favour of the ChatMail protocol.

I wish someone would fork DeltaChat so I can keep using it as a client for "classic email".
