Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub).

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....
The new organization is at github.com/FossifyX. For now all the apps have updates disabled, i’m quite open to alternatives for all EXCEPT Gallery, so i hope the fork goes well, at least from the discussions it looks like it’s off to a decent start.
Of note, the apps on FDroid are still uncrapped so you can still take them from there.
The good thing is that unlike the old QuickPic fiasco, here the apps are GPLv3, so these are 100% gonna be forked, still gonna see if i don’t keep all the eggs on a single basket
When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....
Oh yeah you should! Cute, charming and i keep suspecting it was a bit of a love note to Calvin and Hobbes because the unnamed girl is just like the little girl version of Calvin 😆
Go blind if possible. Do have in mind that the platforming in most of the game isn’t too hard but there’s points where it does ramp up significantly.
The general consensus among more informed people than me is that they don’t even need to listen in, they get enough accurate information from tracking everything else to not even need to do something as resource-intensive as permanently listening in.
Yes. 99% of what i use YT for these days is to follow the crafters i’ve been following for years, and part of the way to support them is liking and commenting on their videos. That’s what keeps me from moving to frontends or NewPipe.
Today somebody in a group I’m in which has some accessibility issues was yet again complaining that their Dragon Speaking software was not playing nice with Firefox, which led me to see if there was an alternative, and surprisingly i found none workable at the plain user level beyond Dragon, and upgrading for that person might...
That was one of the various projects for developers i saw and mentioned and it’s not something my normal user level friend can just install in their computer unassisted to start writing stuff for them on Firefox, i imagine that somebody could develop something using that as a backend but (again, unless i’m overlooking it) i don’t see anything at the moment even in alpha state
Currently going through every Metroidvania Castlevania posterior to Symphony, went through the Advance Collection and had to resort to emulation for the NDS ones, currently on Portrait of Ruin. After that we’ll see.
So, a relative that all she plays in her tablet is solitaire, saw ads of some mobile crap full of microtransactions and now wants some of those. I said i’d check if there was games kinda like those (all puzzles of some sort), and would highly prefer if they’re all FOSS to avoid or at least highly reduce the chance they’re...
Dust is a rewrite of du (in rust obviously) that visualizes your directory tree and what percentage each file takes up. But it only prints as many files fit in your terminal height, so you see only the largest files. It’s been a better experience that du, which isn’t always easy to navigate to find big files (or atleast...
Since around the time they announced the API changes, every image hosted on Reddit, when opened on a browser shows it embedded on a page on Reddit instead of just giving you the damn image, like it used to do. It pisses me off. Need to figure out a way to return it to the previous behavior and just give me the damn images i asked for, maybe something with the user agent (when you ask it to download it instead of displaying it, or when getting it with wget or the like, it DOSE give you the image, so the way is there somewhere).
We have a machine running some stuff on Docker, and little by little it has started to become important to keep an eye on it. However, looking for information on monitoring a Docker server it always seem to assume you’re running it in Swarm mode, which is not and WILL NOT be the case of this machine, Swarm adds a layer of...
My main issue with Android keyboards is that i need multiple languages on the fly, i might be chatting in one language in one group and on another language on another, or even some limited mix and match in a single phrase. Currently using AnySoftKeyboard, since i can switch languages with a button, but oh damn is the prediction abysmal, looks like it only brings up all the potential words on any order and doesn’t even consider which one’s the most likely, no idea how’s it in reality but it feels like this.
If OpenBoard can cover my use case I’ll switch immediately.

I’d say while it’s possible it’s unlikely, remember that they’re running PC games, all based on X86, the work needed to make Wine/Proton run all of that well on a different CPU set is significant, and would likely break compatibility in unexpected ways, effectively bringing all the recent wins moot and bringing Proton backwards. Definitely something that will likely happen, but more of a long-term goal (unless it’s already in progress and with advances, no idea, but we would all have heard of it already if it was a thing)
On the very first post crossposted there’s a strong discussion started by someone arguing that such a tool would end up exposing the admins to legal liability because the tech is beta and the creators say to not use it in production, would be good to confirm if this is true or not by some lawyers, anyone here a lawyer?
A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans.
