Concerning the application specific profiles. I think it would be better to modify the corresponding .desktop file to first try to load the specific profile and then just launch the actual program

Well, there is definitively a backdoor built in the device. It is called iOS. Who might say that there is no process with root-privileges running which could update the OS if it receives the right message ?

Apple joined PRISM in 2012. As always, Apple is doing whatever is popular. Nothing new.

Well, find such a camera with Linux (not Android) drivers that can be ordered in batches of thousands. Somewhere somebody found a module made by ST (?) but it was already too big.

Except that it is, since every other option is not seriously feasible.

Seriously, what is wrong with the mobile phone network in the US ? I think that NetworkManager does that (among many other things).

As far as I know, most lawsuits linked with the GPL were about companies not caring at all about the GPL and not about such subtleties.

Leave this thread at once ! This thread is about people requesting flashy colour renders, others saying that everything else than black would be horrible, but NOT about anything related to the actual Pyra.

Could you specify which "loophole" you are talking about ? Is it the "system library exception" ?

I suppose that it shouldn't be too far away from here https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/gpu/drm/etnaviv

As far as I know driver != firmware. At least it should. The driver is the piece of software which runs on the host machine, while the firmware runs on the device itself. Any Linux driver which isn't OSS would violate the kernel's GPL. However, the OSS driver can without any problem send a...

Well, the question would be, how does vrms get the information if something is non-free or not.

What is this thing and for what could you want it ?

There is, at least as far as I know, no plan to use the camera subsystem, the main reason being that there is no viable solution to put a camera somewhere when you consider the available modules given the production size.

I suppose, to answer this question, two other questions need to be answered : Does Allwiner sell SoCs per batches of thousands ? Does Allwiner support something else than Android ? (read: Is the kernel source available and is it actually possible to build it without blobs ?)

It would be nice, if the configuration could at lest be integrated inside the XFCE settings manager. Else, we would end up with people saying "To configure you Pyra, go there, except for those things which are somewhere else."

Come on, we all know that the best -punk is cyberpunk.

A simple xhost + should be enough. There are ways to make it safer, but technically, this should work.

Gluing might not be a solution. The battery might end stuck against the cover, unable to reach the contacts.

If making a package is so hard, I doubt that the DBP system is such a good idea. Anyway, if there is a working system which is used and supported by others, there is no point to reinvent the wheel.
