What is that supposed to do?

"We don't need moderators!" shouts the Troll*, in the wrong community.

* either a troll or just an idiot, doesn't matter imo

I host about 30 services, so it has crossed my mind. But I like the instance I am on now. Also, since it would almost definitely be just me on there, it would be a colossal waste of time, effort, and resources.

I'm too lazy to insert the "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" meme here, so.... Please imagine it instead.

I'm switching jobs in a couple of months, and I am SO glad to be leaving a (very well maintained!!) python codebase with type hints and mypy for a rust codebase.

It is just not the same.

Yeah OK, that's fair. It's really a shame how dependent notifications are on Google. ALl the other things - Mail, Photos, Drive,... - are a lot easier to replace.

Alright, thank you!

Hey, we're also thinking about setting up authentik. Could you answer the following, where I haven't found answers to yet: does introducing SSO impede logging into Jellyfin on a TV / phone app at all?

At this point, package management is the main differentiating factor between distro (families). Personally, I'm vehemently opposed to erasing those differences.

The "just use flatpak!" crowd is kind of correct when we're talking solely about Linux newcomers, but if you are at all comfortable with light troubleshooting if/when something breaks, each package manager has something unique und useful to offer. Pacman and the AUR a a good example, but personally, you can wring nixpkgs Fron my cold dead hands.

And so you will never get people to agree on one "standard" way of packaging, because doing your own thing is kind of the spirit of open source software.

But even more importantly, this should not matter to developers. It's not really their job to package the software, for reasons including that it's just not reasonable to expect them to cater to all package managers. Let distro maintainers take care of that.

Android without a Google account is great though

As a fellow Futo user: it's not great out of the box. My biggest recommendations are:

  • under Languages and models, download all the voice models (if you use those), transformers, and wordlists you can for your languages
  • if you use multiple languages, set the check on "multilingual typing" for ALL of those languages
  • this is probably the biggest one: in text prediction -> Advanced Parameters, DRASTICALLY change the values. The original ones are 3.4 and 4.0 for LLM strength and autocorrect threshold, mine are currently set at 28.5 and 0.8, respectively. This takes the autocorrect from "occasionally working" to "as good as SwiftKey" for me.
  • Keyboard and Typing -> Long Press -> Show hints. Could not find that for ages so thought I'd add it here.

Also, two super useful shortcuts: you can press the space-bar and move your finger around to move the pointer; and the same for backspace to fine-control what to delete.

Hope this helps, but if not... What additional gripes do you have with it?

Will do! Thank you!
