@omgubuntu I prefer old fashioned installs to save space mostly, but not to the point where I prefer adding third party PPAs for every app. It becomes too messy.

I have no preference between Flatpak and Snap, and use both on both Fedora and Ubuntu. If people want to make a principled stand how to install their software they should be capable of tracking it down on github and compiling it themselves. For the rest of us, a flatpak link is useful.

Not sure if this means Sapot Browser from Ubuntu Touch can also be installed, but if it does, I highly recommend checking it out! It's basically a Morph browser testing ground, and comes with huge improvements in stuff like the handling of tabs and gesture support. :)

Super exciting to see the projects grow closer!

@CassandraZeroCovid @haeckerfelix And behold - now it is front page news!

Do yourself a favours and listen to today's episode of the Daily, or at least the first half - the Bing chatbot declared its love to a journalist for the New York Times and it only got weirder from there on out. Hilarious and more than a little bit creepy.

@TheDreadTitania The children of the *codfather. It all checks out.

@adamdavidson I love that you seemingly intended to write this post about TV ads, but it works equally well if not better for TVs themselves. Except that it's weird your kid would have that much experience with televisions.

@omgubuntu I think you're right not to moderate more strictly than you do. It's a shame comment sections are a broken format, but its not your fault. There is no correct answer how to moderate them; that's why the internet largely gave up on them.

I don't think deleting more posts is much of a solution. These people have a lot of time on their hands - I think they're like that mobster where you chop of one head and several new ones appear.

@OpenTangent @fedora @omgubuntu Exactly the same here - I have been using Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon (late 2007), changed to Fedora on my main laptop after running into some issues with 22.04.

Couldn't be happier with Fedora!

@matv1 @ernmander@floss.social @ubports I second this! Guitar Tools cannot be praised enough. Fantastic app.

@fla @mariogrip I think this list is exhaustive and kept updated:

In which case it's not available for PinePhone yet. But I could be wrong. :)

@fla @ubports Oh, no! It just shows the picture and lets you download it, but there's no option to set it as wallpaper. So I had to do the last bit manually. :)

@kimlango Sounds like the perfect story to wrap up the year haha. What a mess. Happy new year! 🥂

@kimlango I don't think I had ever heard of this person before George Takei posted about him just an hour ago, next thing I see he's apparently arrested for human trafficking? And it's somehow to Thunberg's credit?

Things happen too fast, I have no idea how people keep up with any of this.

@fredldotme How about the Mozilla Location Service?

I eventually came to realise that a lot of the issues I had with my GPS came from testing it indoors, and that I had previously maybe assumed I had GPS coverage when my phone was in fact estimating its position using WiFi networks and such.

@fla @ubports Absolutely! Am already getting my wallpaper from the Astronomy Picture of the Day app that I downloaded mostly to test the open store back in the day. :)

@mfmarchadesch I am self-taught and have been told by confused onlookers I'm knitting backwards - now I'm not sure if what I do is just English style, but I put myself down as an ambi-knitter for good measure.

Maybe I can finally make sense of what it is I'm doing!

@wonderofscience Being used to seeing the moon as a flat disc, seeing it so clearly as a sphere messed with my brain a little.

For more of that, I put together this in cross-eyed 3D! :)

@emanuel Lingot absolutely does the trick!

And for mobile Linux in general, Guitar Tools for Ubuntu Touch is my favourite guitar app regardless of platform. :) https://open-store.io/app/guitar-tools.t-mon

@lemmyreader @poVoq So in other words, it's worth testing even on phones not listed as compatible? I will give it a spin, if only to remove some icons from the app drawer.

Waydroid doesn't even work properly on my device, so would be a tall order to expect perfect functionality. :)

Thanks for sharing! #ubuntutouch

@thelifeofsharks@mastodon.ie This hits hard. I'm beginning to realise I'm probably never going to watch that DVD box set I bought.
