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?

I was actually pleaseantly surprised trying this on an old Macbook with Q4OS "distro".

Q4OS is really just a Debian installer for Plasma and/or Trinity. Like, quite literally, it doesn't even bother to change Debian branding, you can just uninstall the 3 or 4 custom welcome packages from Q4OS and that's it.

Yeah, I am talking to you, Endeavour OS devs. Stop rebranding an OS that you just wrote a glorified installer for.

Signal should work, at least through my experience. It would also serve as a chat and stories alternative.

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.

Does it do like openSUSE and create the subvolumes and snapshots for you? Because I dread configuring these freaking things from my days in Arch, and I fell in love with openSUSE when I realised it does it for you.

(And no, the archinstall script doesn't autoconfigure BTRFS unless you wipe your entire disk)

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

That's basically it.

It could be the thing that makes Home Assistant suddenly interesting for many ""normies"".

As a KDE fan, I don't use any of these "redundant" programs, unless there is a true benefit.

The thing is that, LibreOffice works and looks great in Plasma, and Calligra doesn't do anything special.

It's even more obvious for me with KTorrent. We already have qBitTorrent!

I absolutely like things like Neochat, tho, because in this case the "official" alternative is an annoying Electron app.

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.

Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

They don't need to be brilliant, just decent enough.

I am talking about this kind of livestream.

It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.

Don't worry, they'll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

Every time I mention that I like Huberman's podcasts, I get bombarded with comments on how he's basically a fool, a liar, yadayada.

And when I read every link, trying to see if maybe I should ditch his podcasts... all I see is, at most, in very specific cases, that some scientists defend different theories.

Like... wow. Science in a nutshell.

That is specially funny once you actually listen to his podcasts, because he is constantly reminding people that his words are not the literal truth, that he is no cop, and that he is simply collecting some evidence and always asking for people to go research this information, consult their doctor/physician/professional...

Joe Rogan has like a 1000 clips that can give you absolute clues on how this guy is... well... not great. And my guess is that people are associating a big muscular man with another?

Has the podcast claimed that the white male is a superior species or what am I missing?

Come on, what kind of dark agenda does a guy like Huberman have when basically everything that he says can be condensed into:

  • get good sleep
  • do sport
  • eat well
  • go outside ?

Another thing I've seen is many articles pointing out his "bad romances" and other weird personal life details, as if that mattered somehow?

As a small phone lover, here's the thing: we don't consume as many phones or as many services as (general) big phone people.

It's not only about the size of the community. It's that our phones are tools generally at our service and not the reverse.

Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.

Do you really think these years existed?

There is a big jump from letting someone do some swipes on your Tinder profile with your permission to forcing an unwanted marriage for third party gains.

For a second I thought they were launching their federated lemmy/kbin instance. With different communities, like "support", "bugs", "news"...

Would have been freaking awesome and a great use case for Lemmy and federarion.

Good for them anyway.
