Funny thou said that, @xarvos, because commits adding these packages didn't go through the reviewing process (on issues.guix.gnu.org at the time) and authored by a commiter trying to split GNU from GNU.
i'm not a hardware guy, i just wonder why so few boards include sata or m.2 ports.
I'm not a electrical engineer either, @bonifartius, but I'd guess it's summat to do with power delivery. Not that it's impossible, but with lower constraints on total power usage less things can go wrong. An NMVe could easily have higher peak wattage than the rest of the SBC and guess how I learned that!
BTW I still think the impression Mastodon provides about an account sucks. The majority of interesting information I get here are from replies and Mastodon't even show that in people's feed.
The meme about Linux being difficult to set up was probably definitely not about installing GNU or GNU-like distributions, but Android.
In the last decade I've install over a dozen of free operating systems on four different architectures, many times on a chroot, and bootstrapping has always been a single step. A child could do it. How do I know? I was something of a child meself.
LineageOS? Thou needst to sacrifice 2 goats, summon a devil, sell thy soul for a holy sword to kill the same fucker to make some devil wellington. Upon savoring such delicacy, thou shalt finally gain the strength to flash the image flasher.
Just realized I forgot to respond to thy email, I'm so sorry I'll do it soon™, but good lord, @int2k, realizing these points is the first step towards the free software movement. Also Sony has a history of suing the shit out of people trying to run custom software on top of the hardware they bought from it.
@futurile, I only learned about the difference between them (and more) when learning LaTeX, and now I'm typing them with an input method that covers a subset of LaTeX.
@nubesurrealista, IANAL but what we call updates are basically derivatives from copyright's perspective. Now, a derivative of a work obtained under the GPLv3 must also be released under the a forward compatible license (GPLv3 or AGPLv3), which requires that distributor to provide the preferred form for modification (i.e. source code for most software) if requested by a user. If the entity distributing the software to you is not the sole copyright holder of the work originally released under the GPLv3, then it must comply with such request of yours.

@tomasino, given the atrocities the US have committed in other countries, I suppose some of them join to not only follow orders but also go multiple extra miles.
