I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are “Digital Audio Player”.

I’ve been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they’re between production runs right now so you can’t buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You’ll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I’ve seen

Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.

Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it’s pretty straightforward, but it’s something to be aware of.

HeliBoard let’s you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?

Check what version of Syncthing-fork you’re running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

AFAICT F-droid hasn’t built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub’s end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don’t believe those are published anymore)

Sorry, works for me on both Voyager and the aussie.zone web interface. No idea what could be wrong

If you’re already in the repo it’s “Watchy 3.0 Review.md”

Potentially relevant for anyone considering a Watchy

Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one.

This seems to be the main thrust. GrapheneOS has a hardened WebView, that using a Gecko browser bypasses and adds more attack surface because you still have the WebView.

Outside of Graphene this is less relevant (because of the lack of hardening) and outside of mobile only the isolation comments are relevant, which they note are being improved rapidly in desktop.

Arguments in favour of using Gecko browsers are typically about preventing a single corporation from monopolising web standards, and having continued access to proper ad blockers, things that are not part of Graphene’s focus.

What distro choices could actually affect how well a game works across Linux setups? The only one i can think of is maybe sound API with Pulse Compatible vs ALSA only (now very rare) vs JACK only.

Graphics APIs are uniform (Vulkan or OpenGL). Networking APIs have been uniform for decades. Controller API had a brief disruption in the joystick API vs Event API which I believe has very much resolved in favour of the latter.

What am I missing? /gen

Conversations.im

Has an onboarding wizard, includes text, voice and video calling, OMEMO encryption, group chats etc.

But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn’t they work for you?

It’s easy to win a war when your enemy is strangling themselves to death.

I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important

Zotero: a free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials, such as PDF and ePUB files.

It’s an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.

On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can’t turn off screen lock!), but I haven’t tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.

I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.

Lava lamps actually don’t have any fans, the motion is driven by convection instead! /jk

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features

In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.

The protocol was released in 2019. The LLM was released in 2024.
