I used to have a Blackberry Key One, and it was amazing, the ability to use modern android with a physical keyboard, it was even backlit also supported swype typing, but sadly I lost the phone one day on a walk, it was nice while it lasted. . .
I’m thinking I might just get one of those external bluetooth keyboards. Writing stuff while on the train or bus sucks on a touchpad.
I like where you’re going with this!
yeah, well-intentioned things tend to go sour when exposed to the glow of anonymity on the internet. Starts off innocent, and goes downhill fast.
The creator, Sean, stating that he started this app as a reaction to the online dating scene his mother experienced, seems fine: an anti-catfishing app would be great.
To give the devil their due, the data they collect might also be valuable as data on how women discuss men online, which at a cursory glance seems to favor far more hyperbole than I see in everyday life.
When I say things like, “Use linux, the attack surface is much smaller”, people say, “well, that won’t last forever”, to which I say, “if a trillion dollar company can drop the ball like this, I’m taking the route less travelled because society doesn’t change quickly, Microsoft isn’t going anywhere in my forseeable future”
glad more people are using Arch-based distros! I finally installed arch (btw) without the archinstall script, and I must say, the more people that can potentially feel the sense of accomplishment that I felt when I got my display manager and window manager set up the way I wanted, the better!
good on you, NVIDIA drivers are very decent these days, on wayland in particular. Glad to see someone rocking an Xeon chip, they are great chips.
And I just learned that CachyOS is based on Arch! I just began dual booting fedora (nobara) with arch, but went with river as the wayland compositor, because I heard good things. KDE is a great DE, keep learning linux, it’s a lot of fun!
Only thing I used matching your needs was an RSS feed coming from a private tracker I’m on. I’m sure there are rss feeds for public trackers too. I self-hosted an rss reader and aggregator, and I could specify which torrent categories I would get notified about.
this is awesome! I’ll have to test this out because gaming with the daughter has been limited to games that support it natively. I wonder if this can work with emulated games too?
comparison is the thief of joy
Just a hunch, since technological advancements seem to hit the public realm much faster in places like China, in the cities especially. I don’t know what the laws are like there, but I’ve heard rumors that there is less government regulations for technologies that can benefit the general public, like drones and automated metros. Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the robots they show off at conventions, to take the place of receptionists and other customer-facing positions.
Overcooked, Liars Bar, Ready or Not, Schedule 1, Elden Ring, Jackbox, etc . . . . . All work great as multiplayer titles on linux. There’s a great trove of fun games that don’t require kernel level anticheat because the the community of players isn’t as toxic.
it’ll definitely get the greenlight in countries like China before anywhere in the west, I believe
“Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps”
Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn’t been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years
cheap and easy? I tried running it myself and ran into several hurdles, and gave up. How did you host it? VPS? Docker? Bare-metal?
no mention of tox chat, eh? Open source, p2p private chat, what’s not to like?
Author admits smartphones are ubiquitous, and doesn’t at all consider, in a hypothetical situation where everyone unanimously agreed to stop using them, where all this e-waste will go?
Also, how do you disillusion the millions of people that use them religiously?
I get the sentiment, but only a significant technologically literate society would really appreciate the need for greater control over their devices and actually possess the skills needed to modify and configure them.
Greed isn’t limited to any one economic system, I fear.
Unionists versus the confederates all over again, history definitely repeats itself
oh damn, I’ve never seen one in person, but I don’t really care about judgment by others, so if I could get some prescription lenses on those, that’d be ideal.
definitely interesting . . I bought the Key One for $300 back in 2021. I’ll keep it bookmarked in case future me sees the desire for that design again, because right now I just don’t use my phone much haha
