Redmis usually have a good 3rd party rom support, if you can open the bootloader. Literally any rom is a better experience than MIUI or whatever they call that nowadays.

There is already a crdroid official available: https://xdaforums.com/f/xiaomi-redmi-note-13-pro-5g-poco-x6-5g.12860/

Since I stopped using mainstream socialmedia I can't follow musicians I'm interested in. Some have a bandcamp page and rss works there, but they just upload their albums there, nothing else. At least I get notified about new releases. I tried to follow facebook and instagram pages via rss-bridge, but it's not working for years now. My selfhosted bibliogram sometimes work, but it's unmaintained so it will die at some point if instagram changes something. (I just found there is a maintained fork, yess) My ip usually gets blocked, so I get all posts once a week only in batch.

So I'm interested, unfortunately none of them enabled fedi integration yet, (afaik it's a settings for them in threads) so I'm waiting when they will enable it for everyone.

I don't want to debate about politics or whatever you are afraid of.

It's the most common and most supported 3rd party Android rom:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LineageOS
• https://www.lineageos.org/

Usually you can have 3 kind of rom for an android device:

• Default from manufactuerer: usually locked down, shitty default apps and preinstalled crapware, updates stop soon. Usually stable.
• Cooked/unofficial rom from xda or telegram: some script kiddy has the same phone as you and they share the rom they built from source. Hit or miss, sometimes very good, sometimes terrible. Updates stop when script kiddy gets a new phone.
• Official 3rd party rom, Lineage is the most common, Crdroid, Graphene, eos and other secure and special roms are in this category, but they support far less devices. Updates are automatic, built by a server every month. Someone have to set it up, so you still need someone interested about this in the community, and the manufacturer have to release drivers, firmware. (They should be legally, but noone cares) Usually that's the best experience you can get on an Android device nowadays

Iphone 4 had a shitty antenna design. This was the first iphone with a metal frame around, on the sides of the phone. If you holded it with your left hand you could easily accidentally short the two parts of the antenna, basically cutting all signals.

This was definetily a design fault, there was even class action lawsuit against Apple. When they asked Steve Jobs about this, he replied:

"You are holding it wrong."

Antennagate happened 14 years ago. A lot users are too young to remember that

Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.

I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it's a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.

Alea iacta est - The die is cast - said Iulius Caeser after he crossed the Rubicon river. Usually Roman dice were cubes.

Unrelated to this event, roughly 2000 years later a guy named Ernő Rubik invented his cube

Gnome reads the icon name from the desktop file. You have to find the desktop file of this app, check its icon name there, and make sure there is a similarly named icon available in the icon pack.

To find the desktop file: open Looking Glass (Alt+F2 -> type lg Enter-> click Windows on the top right) you should see your open windows there, it should show the name of the desktop file, even if you started from terminal. You can find the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications or in /usr/share/applications. Open the file, and you should see a line starting with Icon, this is what Gnome reads.

To check if a similarly named icon exists search for that name in /usr/share/icons/. If you can't find a named icon, than the problem is in your icon pack, you should open an issue there. If you want to change the icon to something else, change the line in the desktop file.

You can create a new desktop file, where you add pkexec in the Exec line.

Desktop files are in /usr/share/applications. Find your app there. Copy it's desktop file file to the user's application directory, it's ~/.local/share/applications expanded: /home/username/.local/share/applications/. Rename this new desktop file, and in the line starting with Exec add pkexec at the beginning of the command string. pkexec is the graphical equivalent of sudo(kindof). Also change the Name in the file, so you can find it in your menu. (The difference you mention comes from here. On the gui this Name parameter is visible, while on the terminal you call the command from Exec).

When you save the new desktop file, it should show up in your Application menu. If you start this new app, pkexec should bring up a graphical password prompt.

If you use gnome you can edit desktop files with alacarte, it may work with other DEs: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte

Duckdns is working for me, wdym, what happened?

Whit this thing you can get back to the 10 version of the annoying changes if you have to use 11: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki old rightclick, old taskbar, etc...

If wine installed, there is a big chance that the exe can be started by simply doubleckicking on it. A lot of windows programs can run in wine without any specific setup, e.g. a basic crypto miner.
