The idea that Republicans might be willing to "jump through more hoops" would certainly align with Lakoff's ideas (from 2004, mind):

Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch? in c/[email protected]

Aware, yes. Interested, no - closed source philosophy, and the way Apple implements it specifically, turn me off hard.

Ich hatte recht kürzlich eine sehr ähnliche Entscheidung zu recherchieren und zu treffen.

Das mit dem SD Slot ist wirklich schwierig; ich hatte deswegen auch kurz das FairPhone angeschaut, aber ich glaube das war recht riesig UND es hat wohl - im Preissegment - eine wirklich grottenschlechte Kamera. Ein Kumpel hatte mal eins und hat auch darüber geschimpft, was und warum FairPhone überhaupt an Sonderlocken in die Software basteln musste, die ihm jedenfalls auch nicht getaugt haben. Preis/Leistung ist auch nicht so der Bringer. Wenn Du mit dem allen gut leben kannst, immer her damit.

Für mich war LineageOS das noch größere must-have als SD Karte, und aus dem allen heraus ist es nun ein Google Pixel 8a geworden, eben mit Lineage drauf, dh da ist gar nix am Android 'unnormal' aus meiner Perspektive. Das 8a weil es nicht gaar so riesig ist wie zB das normale 8 oder 8 Pro, oder die aktuellen Modelle von OnePlus. Ich glaube, ich habe einen zweiten SIM Slot gesehen / glaube, als zweite SIM geht nicht (nur) als eSIM.

Akku Laufzeit reicht mir gut, ist aber wohl eher kurz im Vergleich zum modernen Markt.

Bin jetzt nach paar Wochen immer noch hoch zufrieden. Hab' den 'Bumper' von Spigen dafür, der über das Display hoch ragt, damit kriegt das in meinem durchaus schusseligen Alltag nix ab.

Musste für paar Details meine Lösung damit finden (NANDroid-Style Backup gibt's dafür nicht, dafür haut das mit NeoBackup und rsync g'scheit gut hin).

Ggf kann ich gerne auch konkrete Fragen dazu beantworten (zur HW, das verGooglete Android mit dem es ausgeliefert wird, habe ich max ne Stunde lang überhaupt gesehen, und nix von dem ach so tollen KI Krams davon).

Looks awesome!

Near the top of the ReadMe, it says "desktop and mobile devices" - what's mobile support like? Is there an app...?

How to switch a lemmy/fediverse post (link) to one's home instance eg using a bookmarklet? (lemmy.ml)
 

I believe this used to work with e.g. something like https://lemmy.ml/post/[email protected] (assuming federation works and is current and all that).

This URL format no longer seems to work, is there a new/different endpoint to achieve the same?

I've found that I can use https://feddit.org/post/2401677 as a search term on https://lemmy.ml/search but putting together the appropriate URL (https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Ffeddit.org%2Fpost%2F2401677&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll) with a bookmarklet does not quite work - it comes up showing "no results", but I can click on "Search" again without changing anything and the same page / very same URL loads again with the post I'm looking for as the only search result. This link in this post also shows this exact behavior for me.

Is there any convenient way at all to achieve this - something I can click once, like a bookmarklet?

For reference, here's my half-working one:

javascript:(function() {const myInst="https://lemmy.ml/";let currUrl=window.location.toString();let newUrl=myInst+"search?q="+encodeURIComponent(currUrl)+"&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll";window.location=newUrl;})()
Krita FTW in c/[email protected]

I found it kinda weird that the page this link opens on makes it look kinda like a closed source freemium thing, and (on mobile) I had to dig a fair bit to see that it's actually FOSS and an official part of the KDE project.

I run KDE as my daily driver, and hadn't heard of Krita before; so yeah, I guess it could use a bit more exposure.

Which - in my considered opinion - makes them so much worse.

Is it because writing native UI on all current systems I'm aware of is still worse than in the times of NeXTStep with Interface Builder, Objective C, and their class libraries?

And/or is it because it allows (perceived) lower-cost "web developers" to be tasked with "native" client UI?

Well, I'd guess no one would keep you from going "shopping" at the nearest pharmacy.

So... Considering necessary access, it's a quarter step above "cooking a phone in a microwave oven might catch it on fire", IMO.

Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Might be OT since I never was much of a distro hopper.

Got introduced to Linux with SLS, used RedHat until it became too commercial for my taste. At that time, found gentoo and stuck with it hard. It allows me to have completely custom packages fully integrated with the system package manager, that's the top killer feature for me.

How often do you contribute to open source projects? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

I'd guess about monthly to bimonthly, in the sense of submitting a fix for an issue that affects/concerns me/my use of open source projects.

Thank you for sharing your story!

For your kind of use case and issues, I'd recommend finding someone local with a good amount of Linux experience and do a couple of pair sessions. I find this transports a lot more (especially 'soft') knowledge on concepts and how to do things efficiently. Also, it helps to share frustrations ;-)

Linux does not try to be another Windows. While it's fairly possible to treat it kinda as such especially in newer times, it won't feel efficient or convenient that way, in my experience.
