I had a project idea for the #flipperzero where #linux would run on the wifi dev board and you can have a Linux system you can interact with from the UART terminal.
From my research, it has an ESP32-S2-WROVER. I've seen people get Linux working on ESP32-S3's but not an ESP32-S2.
Thought about calling it flippix or something. Anyone got any ideas making this work?

This time next week, the U.S. will have voted. Anyone else feel sick?! This is our regular #NewstodonFriday thread, which highlights the newsrooms and reporters who have an active presence in the fediverse. Inevitably, we have political stories and politics-adjacent stories, along with some lighter fare, and some that straddle the two (@TexasObserver’s story on a new Greg Abbott musical fits perfectly into that category). Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can. See you on the other side.

"Haaretz has been far more critical of Israels actions than western media outlets have been. It recently published an editorial titled “If It Looks Like #EthnicCleansing It Probably Is” (nonpay link). Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken is now publicly advocating international sanctions on the Israeli government for its apartheid abuses and opposition to a #Palestinians state, drawing an outraged response from the #Netanyahu regime" caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/1…

Many articles published by Haaretz would result in uproar, loss of job and possibly prosecution in many parts of the "free world" specially Germany and UK

in reply to Flipboard • • •Yes, Texas’s abortion laws are killing women. @ProPublica reports on another case — 18-year-old Neveah Crain, who was diagnosed with sepsis but sent home because her six-month fetus had a heartbeat, and on a subsequent visit, had delayed care because the obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise.” She died hours later. She and her mother, Candace Fails are both devout anti-abortion Christians, but supported it in the event of life-threatening illness. “I know it sounds selfish, and God knows I would rather have both of them, but if I had to choose,” Fails said, “I would have chosen my daughter.”

In a quarterly earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg said he is excited for the “opportunity for AI to help people create content that just makes people’s feed experiences better.” What might that look like? “I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,” he explained. @404mediaco has more.

This isn’t a new problem, of course, but it’s reaching new levels of absurdity and concern,” writes our managing editor @csullivan in a new blogpost. He breaks down America’s truth crisis, and how Flipboard is maintaining a fact-first approach through it all.

in reply to Flipboard • • •Last year, New Mexico adopted House Bill 4, which establishes that those convicted of a felony can still vote, providing they are not incarcerated. A crew of people set to work registering newly eligible voters and in doing so discovered thousands of people who had been wrongfully denied their voting rights, for many years before. They’ve successfully sued the state so that those affected will be able to vote next Tuesday. It’s a victory, but some voters still feel mistrustful of the government. @bolts explains more.

It was just the first step in her journey to Canada as an asylum seeker. She tells her story in a new book, Geographies of the Heart,
which is excerpted in @thetyee.

in reply to Flipboard • • •According to a story in Popular Science that our @ScienceDesk shared, humans just love to physically attack robots — but not if they appear to be in emotional distress, for example, crying out or widening their eyes. Here’s a look at our history of hurting robots, and what that might mean if they become more integrated into our lives in the future.

in reply to Flipboard • • •How best to tell the story of Texas’s frustration with Gov. Greg Abbott? Through the medium of song. “Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical” had its first two full performances on Oct. 18 in Austin. @oconnell reviewed the show for @TexasObserver. The team behind it now want to take it on the road. “We really don’t want him to have a national profile, and, if he thinks of having one, we want to be in his ear as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around,” co-creator Brently Heilbron says.

in reply to Flipboard • • •Just when you thought Halloween was done, @KnowableMag hit us with this true-life horror story of a parasitic fungus, Entomophthora muscae, which translates to “destroyer of insects.” “After the fungus infects the fly, it doesn’t go straight to the vital organs but starts consuming fats and other nutrients first, gradually starving the fly but keeping it alive,” writes Rohini Subrahmanyam. “Only when it runs out of non-vital organs to chomp on does it start to control the fly’s behavior, thus ensuring its continuity: By forcing the fly to seek some height and get stuck there, it ensures wide distribution of its spores.”
