I sincerely hope that you don't think that group chats, online gaming, or phones are "better" than true social life, because there is overwhelming science indicating that those things are making people absolutely miserable... and we actually don't need science to see it everyday.
Yeah... Now that you say so, my teen years didn't look like the movie, that might be why.
I just had weird nihilistic friends until I was adult enough to find happiness.
Surprisingly good sequel for such a difficult concept. But somehow I wonder if kids may find it more boring than adults, because I would probably not get this movie as a kid.
It's very easy to get a Gnome look and feel with Plasma nowadays.
I still don't know why Gnome loves wasting 3 % of the screen on an empty black bar, tho.
But people wouldn't buy the newer chip because the previous one would still have support. THAT is why the source is closed. To sell support until the cow is milked enough and then sell a newer version.
What's the software they use for their livestreams?
I am talking about this kind of livestream.
It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.
Not my experience so far with my single service I've been running for a year. It's making me even think of opening up even more stuff.
Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It's pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there's always the possibility to make it your way.
No, I don't usually go physically affectionate with them, male, female, or whatever. I reserve that to close family; unless there is some special situation of course, like loss, or celebration, or something.
And honestly, I don't miss it at all. I get enough affection at home.
There's lots of "partially works" that are basically at 99 % perfection, where a small use case is not tested, or buggy, or something.
It definitely is useful, I use it for train tickets, or user QR codes for things such as IKEA, supermarkets, gas stations... It's quite literally a virtual wallet where you have all your "cards", but they are QRs.
This way, for example, you don't have to install every single app to get the QR code that identifies you in every market. You just paste them into this wallet and you are good to go!
NFC payments require a transaction platform and these things are only possible with banks or huge, "trusted" companies like Google/Apple.
Although things might start changing in Europe (for now) with GNU Taler.
Aesthetically, very similar, just some small improvements.
In terms of performance, features, etc... It's way better.
Once you find out we've had fuzzy finders for 40 years your mind is going to be blown.
I am not saying AI is not useful. It will be an amazing use case to sprinkle some AI into fuzzyfinders, but don't let it have everything that has ever been played on screen... Passwords, private windows, one-time messages... You must be very young if you don't see the problems with that.
There is a reason why we have password protected folders and files, or how we keep some stuff locked online, or how we use private browser windows. And you want to feed all that to an AI.
It's clearly time for Linux mobile then 🤘
Believe me, poor kids will save for an iPhone too. But yes, the Mac audience is a bit more professional, although I still know of a couple of dumbasses using Mac because of the aesthetics at Starbucks.
Yes! "Recents" works fine and doesn't even need to record everything you've done and consume AI resources!
For asking about papers and so... You can do that with an AI crawler on your files!! No need to store a screenshot of everything you've ever done!
The deliverable thing, again, it can be done by directly looking up your files.
But no, somehow they went full spy instead. Companies will love to put this feature in their employee's computers.
Wanna fire someone? Let's see if they used their computer once for an unrelated-to-work task...
Now if someone gains access to your computer they'll get everything that you didn't think you even had! So great!!
Hi! I know many Apple users, and 100% of them bought it because "bro, it's Apple". It's basically the "im not poor" message that the Apple logo gives. They don't care about anything else aside that it's Apple and it plays CandyCrush.
Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist?
Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.
Am I getting something wrong?
Can I use a Broadlink RM4 (Pro) to learn IR codes AND store them somewhere I want? Would be amazing if the format can be transformed with IrScrutinizer too. (Using Home Assistant)
So, what I want to do is basically to be able to publish some of my own IR remotes at home to some public database, very probably IRDB. Of course I'd also be using the device for automations and so on, which I know it works great at that. But my main goal is to make it possible for people to not have to buy a stupid remote for some old hardware they have.
From the docs, it seems like it is possible.
Do you have any experience on this?
What's your opinion on Andrew Huberman's podcast?
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?
What is your go-to app for IR remote?
I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.
I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app...
What is your GoCryptFS/CryFS workflow for syncing (let's say) Nextcloud encrypted folders on Android?
I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android... I just couldn't find the right tool on Android for the job.
How do you solve this problem yourself?
Thinking of building a database of "stuff" that I have at home + some other family households. Multiple accounts with private and shared inventories.
The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that "John has an old laptop collecting dust" or "Mary has this specific tool that I'd love to use for my current project".
It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the "shared knowledge".
So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.
Where can I share IR remote codes so they are accessible to everyone in an easy manner?
Is there a database of sorts for these things? It seems like there should be.
What about a linux phone that has a full Android OS sleeping in parallel? Like OnePlus Watch 2 that runs 2 OSs at the same time.
I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid's "you-must-be-a-hacker" issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your "non-hacker" things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser...) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.
I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.
What do you guys think?
Small phone lovers... our era is not over. Yesterday I discovered the Unihertz Jelly Star. I fell in love. I will be reporting back.
Introducing Unihertz Jelly Star - The world's smallest Android 13 smartphone with a transparent design and LED light.

Small phone lovers... our era is not over. Yesterday I discovered the Unihertz Jelly Star. I fell in love. I will be reporting back.

Go and check the link, but essentially:
- small
- 2023 release (Android 13)
- HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
- NFC
- 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
- 256 GB internal storage
- Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
- IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
- LED indicators (front AND BACK)
- fingerprint scanner
- face ID
- FM Radio
- PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)
I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...
What's the downside?
Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.
It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.
Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.
If you are not sold yet...
Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...
And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.
Will report back.
So, what do you think?
Any podcasts at the level of Huberman Lab in terms of science and self-improvement?
I was not a podcast guy at all, but I stumbled upon Andrew Huberman a few months ago and wow, what an amazing source of information and it has helped me a lot while making conmutes and training sessions a lot less wasteful.
The thing is that, now that I basically have consumed all their catalogue, I feel the need for more.
I am very interested in science, backed-up self-improvement, open source stuff, and... Maybe, if it's really well done I could enjoy some politics.
I mostly like to get informed and to grow. I have other sources for entertainment.
[Home Assistant] Port forwarding?
I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.
But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.
[Plasma 6] KDE Connect pop up every time I launch remote control
This problem existed too in Plasma 5, but I was so excited that after the update to 6, there finally was a toggle for some kind of "don't ask about this again for this device" but it seems to do nothing.
So is this bug ever going to be fixed? Or is it actually not a bug? What are your workarounds? I hate that I have to walk to my TV stand to press enter everytime I turn on the machine.
#Plasma6 #KDE #KDEplasma6 #KDEplasma #KDEConnect
Benefits of running 2 Wi-Fi networks from the same router? What are the downsides? (I don't know if there is a better community for this question)
I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.
Controlling and monitoring computers (Windows, Linux) from Home Assistant?
There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.
How do you do it?
My priorities are:
Top priority
- Turn off
Amazing to have
- Volume controls
- Pause/play
Nice to have
- monitoring state (on/off)
I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.
So, how do you deal with these things?
Can we get more hands on Florisboard? We need a modern open source keyboard with all crucial features.
An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Currently in early-beta. - GitHub - florisboard/florisboard: An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Curren...
I could not recommend AnySoftKeyboard to my mum. I could recommend Florisboard, tho.
Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.
The problem is... no word suggestions yet. It's been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone's keyboard.
I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.
Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?
My Google account is picking up on a particular daily Nextcloud Task of mine and it is literally creating new events for this every single day
How can I kill this evil thing?
This is probably not the place to do it but I figured it would be where I could find someone who fixed it.
What is your workflow on eBooks? Do you anotate them? Are there any open standards that are useful?
I am slowly getting back into reading, and as a minimalist, I dislike the idea of having (or carrying) books, aside from very special ones, of course.
Is there a nice system to organize (maybe even sync) ebook information; and I mean not only bookmarking where you left, but actually notes, highlights, etc? I'd like it to be pretty "universal", so I don't depend on propietary stuff, and I can retrieve those notes 20 years from now (why else would I want to write some notes, right?).
Also, a bit off-topic for this sub, but... how do you read? E-readers? Tablets? Software choices?
