csolisr,

There are two options here, given that the OS seems to rely heavily on React Native to work: having the streaming APKs converted to React Native apps, or simply use the web browser and PWAs.

FlorisBoard | FOSS keyboard that respects your privacy (florisboard.org)

I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go....

csolisr,

Can FlorisBoard implement the same thing? As a Spanish/English user, having both keyboard predictions available at once has become vital for my workflow

csolisr,

Is there a way to lock the bootloader and keep a ROM different from the one the device shipped with? Or do I need to relock and reunlock every time I need to update the custom ROM, with all the data loss this implies?

csolisr,

At least it seems like you can still do a backup, re-lock the bootloader, apply for an upgrade, then unlock the bootloader again and restore the backup - right?

csolisr,

Well, if you talk about the newest AI-powered UTAU voicebanks, that’s because the developers finally thought about crossing the streams, and instead of having the singers merely pronounce syllables in several pitches, they used that data (expanded to also include several syllable clusters) to train an AI. Unlike most trained AI models, where the voice samples are recorded from live performances, so they vary in quality and on data points for each individual syllable, these have the full set of voice training data prerecorded by design, so the quality of every possible combination of phonemes is as clear as possible.

csolisr,

Why bother with the human experience, after all, if we’re doomed to eventually forget it?

csolisr,

At this point I fear it’s less of a grip and more of a hydraulic clamp, that’s absolutely gonna rip sausages through

csolisr,

I know about its existence, but I’m not sure how safe is it as a way to prevent Epic (and potentially Tencent) from tracking my personal information.

csolisr,

More accurately: the games have support for Xbox styled controllers, because Windows ships with support for that. However, they usually don’t have support for PlayStation controllers unless the game actively adds support for them, or Steam Input deals with converting the controller inputs to Xbox format on the fly. Most of the time, Epic exclusives do neither of the above.

csolisr,

My only complaint about GOG is that developers treat it as an afterthought. Plenty of games that stop receiving updates, or are pulled out of the store entirely, while the Steam version remains maintained. Also, the required lack of DRM makes multiplayer online games relatively scarce.

csolisr,

Lucky you, that you managed to make Epic run properly over Linux!

csolisr,

I wonder if they’ll consider Codeberg as their future Git host of choice. GitHub is less than ideal in terms of digital sovereignty, GitLab also has some questionable leadership. Codeberg seems like the most solid alternative to these so far.

csolisr,

There is a Pokemon competitive player named Chuppa Cross IV. Which means not only that somebody was unironically named Chuppa, but also his father, and his grandfather, and his greatgrandfather as well.

csolisr,

So what you’re telling me is, that Johnson and his little Johnson measure the usage of each other’s Johnsons?

csolisr,

If I need to pay taxes anyway, at least I prefer to have the investment returned back to me in some way, and this seems like a nice way to do so.

csolisr,

60 FPS videos are only available at 720p and above, so maybe your browser is defaulting to 480p?

csolisr,

Know what would solve this problem once and for all? If people collectively decided to boycott “popular culture” and entertain themselves without bowing to the copyright industry

csolisr,

Even if you purchase them directly instead of using the online pass? Guess I’ll have to check it for myself

What's you plan for your digital legacy?

Lately I started including what happens to my data in case I die unexpectedly in my threat model. As of now I’d like for everything to stay private. All my accounts have a strong password that I store on a keepass datbase that I store only on encrypted devices which themselves are protected only by PIN or Password with no...

csolisr,

While online I have most of my items under lock and key, my personal computer at home is set to boot automatically with my password (since the attack vector of “having the feds raid my home” is fortunately not an issue for me). So in the rare case that I’m no longer available, my family can just get my user names and passwords from my computer

csolisr,

I expect to see distros that use Flatpak as its exclusive package manager, even for the bare-metal, in the near future. Also, Linux as a remote desktop on the cloud will probably be attempted at a larger scale, given that Windows 12 is rumored to try that route.

csolisr,

Ah, the good ol’ “rules for me but not for thee”

csolisr,

I’d say that bronze is tainted and should be entirely disposed of, but that would probably annoy environmentalists.

csolisr,

My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.

csolisr,

Expecting Colombia, Peru, Chile and South Africa to be next on the pumping

csolisr,

Nice… can somebody add a 60 FPS patch to Metal Gear Solid 1 by the way?

csolisr,

Linking to Lemmy threads on related subreddits for as long as Reddit allows us to

csolisr,

If you use Docker, somebody has been taking the effort of wrapping the new Rust-based self-hosted sync server into a Docker recipe: github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker

csolisr,

You can always try searching on Trending Communities or New Communities, that’s where I’ve found many new interesting communities to follow and I have both of them on my RSS feed to ensure I don’t miss any news. In related topics, the main Wordpress.com site is finally enabling ActivityPub so expect many blogs to start interacting with the Fediverse and, who knows, directly cross-posting to Lemmy.

csolisr,

That reminds me - are there viable alternatives to each of these?

csolisr,

“Eh, my next salary is coming soon”

csolisr,

Wondering how will F2P games with anti-cheat react to the news. Knowing that much of their player base may jump ship to Linux to avoid the subscription fees, will they relent and start using less invasive anti-cheat programs, or will they try to adapt specific versions of Wine / Proton to work in rooted mode?

csolisr,

Great for you! My only reasons to stay stuck with Windows are 1. anti-cheat and 2. niche programs that don’t work correctly under Linux because they use several Windows programs in daisy-chain

csolisr,

I’m currently trying my best to substitute the latter one of them using free software tools, I’m currently facing a technical problem though. As for anti-cheat, I’m dropping Destiny 2 as soon as I finish the main story

csolisr,

Or you can pronounce it “heef” as in Spanish, just saying

csolisr,

Please do - it seems it was not recorded on the AccessNow’s YouTube account

csolisr,

Calling it already, they’re only moving to Steam to aid in the anti-monopoly argument so they can sell themselves to Microsoft

SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tv running Android OS (github.com)

I’ve already been paying for YouTube Premium for many years to get rid of advertisement, and I’ve been using SponsorBlock for a year or so on my laptop to skip the inline ads, but because most of my watching of YouTube happens on the TV I always had to use the remote to skip it. It helps to see the “most rewind” area so...

csolisr,

I’d love to use it on my smartphone as well… problem is the interface was designed to react only to directional buttons, not to touch inputs. I wonder if somebody can manage to add the ability in the source code?

csolisr,

My only issue with Newpipe is that I can’t sync my “watch later” list with Google’s servers. That, and I can’t reply to comments straight from the app. Otherwise I’d probably be using either that or Piped.

csolisr,

Currently using Revanced, I’m hoping to see a way to actually integrate my Google account with something else, in a similar manner to what SmartTube is somehow allowed to do.

csolisr,

I’ve gradually gone from being peeved at Proton for not being able to support certain brands of anti-cheat, to actively avoiding games with anti-cheat solutions that are fundamentally incompatible with Proton.

csolisr,

Correction: Rust doesn’t run properly on Linux because the developers fear an uptick on cheaters caused by EAC being less invasive on Linux than on Windows.

csolisr,

Genshin being paid by Apple to withhold 120 FPS from other devices (and controller support from other mobile devices), plus their invasive anti-cheat, plus the fact that Mihoyo is a Chinese company (which makes the aforementioned anti-cheat even more scary to touch) makes me not want to touch the game with a ten-mile pole.

csolisr,

Heck’s sake, Ballmer hexed that one on Stallman, with all that saying that “Linux is a cancer” and all that

csolisr,

Not only have I cancelled them almost a decade ago - I don’t even watch series or movies anymore, and barely listen to music outside of the radio. I’m disgusted with the many crimes committed by Big Media and want to have as little as possible to do with it.

csolisr,

In my native Latin America we have this saying, “ladrón que roba a ladrón tiene cien años de perdón” (“a thief that steals from a thief has a hundred years of forgiveness”) and… yeah guess it may apply here
