who let the magic mouse engineers loose

this just in: google is still spying on you in every way possible

FOSS developers should be paid.

The best part about FreeTube unlike other Third-Party clients is that it retains a better YouTube-like suggestions system for any videos you wanna watch next. Discoverability is still a very important thing for me

then remove that "colossal attack surface" by compiling a custom kernel and utilities that only includes the features the product needs. create a system tuned to the exact product to make it extremely reliable. almost everything electronic you see in commercial use is Linux because of this very fact.

Many medical devices run Linux.

Toyota, Tesla, Audi, Mercedes, and Hyundai vehicles use Linux.

you certainly can rely on it for your life and nearly every electronic device you use will use some derivative of it.

NO. REALLY?

Just like we drew it up.

Signal uses AWS.

I don't know about the full functionality of the game bar, but I know ReplaySorcery does a good job with instant replays in games for me.

oh boy do i have news for you

the most "drop-in" replacements I know of aimed towards users (not companies) are

• Matrix + Element Client: Supports E2EE and voice + video chat, it works very well, but the onboarding experience of federated platforms is still confusing for some, and along with that they have to change knowledge of guild/channel type chats to space/room. I don't use this.
• Tailchat: Very similar experience to Discord while not being it. It's functionality is extended through plugins. Integrating all the services I use into one app is not as bad of an idea as it sounds, and I like the implementation very much, as do my friends. That being said, it's, very bare-bones in it's current state, and not much you can add through said plugins besides voice + video chat and bots. This is what I use right now.
• Spacebarchat: Very very alpha, but the end goal is very promising, that being complete backend compatibility with anything designed for Discord. The official client will not be finished anytime soon, so you have to bring your own Discord-compatible client and modify the endpoints to connect to and get any major use out of a Spacebar instance. Voice and Video chat still isn't there yet, but most all other things work as expected. I keep my eye on it, and will probably use it later on in it's more finished stages.

in my personal experience of using it, it doesn't feel very polished in most places + strange bugs like being unable to install certain packages. doesn't have the comforts of a distro like Pop OS or Mint (i.e. automatic timeshift setup on first time boot, checking for missing dependencies for other packages). that's just my personal opinion on it.

Aliucord is a good client mod, not of the new react native version, but the old 126.21 version. much faster than the laggy react garbage

this. after i set different zsh themes on my servers + my main machine i now know exactly what machine i’m running commands to

I'd say that bloat is whatever you define it to be and can vary depending on the power of your system.

I care less about how much resources apps are taking up on my desktop (32GB RAM, Ryzen 7700X), but I do bring my concerns over to my laptop (8GB RAM, Ryzen 4500U).

the one thing I cannot stand are electron apps and anything similar. they are a whole browser bundled with an unoptimized interface, and will eat up what used to be a decent amount of RAM for a laptop back then, as well as my battery life. for this reason I always try to find native apps that use less power and less RAM, which in turn improve my battery life.

this is just one example of where you can draw the line for bloat, although you are completely correct in saying that it is subjective.

Symfonium. Don't get me wrong, I like Finamp, but it just does not come close to the amount of features that Symfonium has.

Vesktop.

not even a vegetarian/vegan, and this is not a bad idea at all. a lot more people than I thought need to learn to love their veggies, nuts, beans, etc

Mint is lovely! I started out with it years ago and still use it today.

Shizuku, Symphony for playing local music (jellyfin for streaming), and most of all Termux. Without Termux I wouldn't be able to use some CLI-only stuff on the go, use neovim, or SSH into my server to perform some quick task.

honestly, can't argue with that

NY?

usually in your router settings you can change local DNS settings. you can set your domains and subdomains to point to your server's local IP.

OwnTracks setup was a bit confusing to me and I never got it working. traccar looks pretty nice though, I'll check it out!

I mostly use Shizuku + Termux to run adb commands on device, but this looks easier and nicer

ah I see. at first I interpreted it as you couldn't reclaim the space from windows

although definitely not as configurable, I like the "set it and forget it" idea of DockoVPN

kitty terminal + zsh shell, two fast and customizable tools

so that's why this was so familiar

as far as I see freetube is just written in html, css and Javascript, then all of that thrown into an Electron app. you can run these elements without Electron in any browser, it just won't have access to as many device features as the app does.

I've built a web version here from the source just to try it out. it's somewhat buggy but it does work

what do you mean by your windows storage being "in limbo"?

On Librewolf the default is all cookies get cleared. When you go to a site you want to save cookies for, you can easily add it to the whitelist by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and toggling on the "Keep cookies" option.

I didn't know cobalt.tools was OSS. cool!

for two reasons, I can't use this.

1. Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
2. I'm looking for whatever it may be to be OSS and self-hostable (if the community name didn't give that implication away)

I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn't get either to work. I've fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it's pretty much what I've wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!

wanting more privacy + self-sufficiency. I think what really kicked it into gear was OMV. still love it to this day

fuck, the song is stuck in my head now.

is, but it's just a webview

where I live the traffic patterns continue as usual, just no activation of the walking lights. so essentially useless.
