What about finally doing something with RCS?? It’s been stagnant for YEARS, no audio speed-up, no pinned messages, not possible to separate contacts to useless 2FA SMSs… What about the promised mini-apps? What about opening the API??
What about doing ANY ACTUAL WORK?
So the strategy is that. Just rotate designs and features. Take them off and put them back so people get excited again for something of the past.
Fucking Google. You ad bastards.
Has Quick Share worked for you ever?
Every single time I tried it, it never worked. Neither phone could find the other.
I come back and try to use it every year, realise it doesn’t work and go back to LocalSend or whatever.

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.
I feel that at this point, I have lost all faith we will ever see RCS as an actual libre, federated protocol.
I bricked a (very annoying) router trying to update its packages, so I am really looking forward for a sane package management system instead of the absolute manual mess it was before (and seems like still is).
Definitely firewall things. Do you connect your personal phone to your work’s Wi-Fi? I would really not.

Was a great phone for me. Sadly, charging port went nuts, it was very very hard to charge it properly and after the second morning with a dead phone, I had to make a decision.
And no, repairing it is virtually impossible as they freaking soldered it to everything else, making the repair extremely expensive.
Most “normal” programs use some “abstraction” libraries, so the programmer doesn’t need to know which platform it is running on. This “platform” is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.
Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these “abstraction” libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.
Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to “trick” these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It’s not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you’d be surprised how much we’ve got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.
I find it funny when people around me think I am a computer expert and I just tried to read this and couldn’t comprehend sh*t.
I knowwww
Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!
How does it hold up against Ardour?
Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.
You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.
Been using BTRFS since I learned I could squeeze more data on my cheap-ass drive and… It’s been 3 years, no problem at all, and I have backups anyway.
I support this idea. Moving is the perfect opportunity to classify your stuff into useful and wasteful, specially clothes, shoes, and some older electronics. Recycle and donate.
Also, if you have a phone you can turn any document into a digital one, find manuals online and trash the paper ones, etc.
It’s amazing when you suddenly feel lighter, and you didn’t know you had all that psychological weight on you.
Minor upgrades don’t usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.
I use Android because I want to install the apps that I fucking want. The launcher is the place where I spend very little time. Stock Android launcher is generally fine for me.
