@mntmn I absolutely love the effort to make a 'batteries included' "desktop" using a wayland compositor. Where can I find your configuration/recommended applications?

@jameschip If the door was left open...and maybe if you need to replace the water filter or air filter.

@jameschip My microwave came with a setting to disable the beeps... unfortunately the refrigerator didn't.

@craftyguy @bart @cas @postmarketOS As SXMO has dmenu-based apps, we could conceivably make something heavier but still nice. zenity/yad allow for more robust prompts. Maybe a "pipe some ui definition into here" tool would work for the non-dialog (main application window) part of apps.
We just need a common language for UI definition.

@foone compliance with the GPL: "you may find the source code by pulling out the SD card"

@libreleah @RL_Dane

But... aside from the weed and no war, those accomplishments don't seem very libertarian.

@Andromxda @beacondb

So they say data will be 'public domain', but haven't released anything yet. Is there not some copyleft DB license that can be used instead? (to prevent EEE from competitors and force everyone to be more open)

@martijnbraam It uses wireless technologies, has a headphones jack and take a card. hmm.......

@libreleah Which democratic institutions? I know I have a different lens, but when I look at Project 2025, I mostly see "replace the Obama-era unelected bureaucrats with our bureaucrats"

@jameschip break something, GDP go up. fix something, GDP go down. Low-maintenance infrastructure is a threat to the economy.

@mntmn I would prefer a hardware cover (a plastic flap you move to cover/uncover the camera). So when you can't see it, it can't see you.

@cassidy appstream:// links are cool, but even better is a repology.org badge, so users can know whether it's available in their distro, and whether their distro has an outdated version. All the ISV has to do is 1. Release their software under an open source license. 2. Package their software for one distribution.

You can easily target every Linux distribution with no extra work because people will step up to patch your software to run on their system. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

@tilvids @thelinuxEXP
Creators: stop treating YouTube as first class and others as backups.
Viewers: stop watching YouTube (literally your life will be better)
Developers: stop making youtube-dl frontends. Make peertube clients that do the p2p thing so we all share the load.

@tilvids @thelinuxEXP Here's a "controversial" take: Google is not the bad actor here. Video streaming is expensive, and they use ads to subsidize this. An IP address which downloads lots of videos (and watches zero ads) is a tax on their resources. Shoe on the other foot: if Google were ddosing peertube servers, you would be justified in blocking their IPs too!

@ChiaChatter 403 error :(

@mntmn Is @jackhumbert from #olkb going to be able to make an ortholinear keyboard mod for this? Also when can we preorder?

@weirdwriter tsv_edl
is an amazing caption editing system that also outputs video
https://github.com/scateu/tsv_edl.vim

Basically you convert your video into text, then edit the text to create breakpoints (and fix typos), and you can output the roughcut srt and video files

@publiclewdness I bought a (likely refurbished) OnePlus 6, and it has great [unsuspended] battery life on mainline(with only 3300 maH). Just because the battery's not user-replacable doesn't make it a throwaway.

But the 5000maH battery for Furi FLX1 makes me wonder if this device will ship with graphics hacks leading to inefficient use of power, hence the need for a larger battery... (Librem 5's 4500maH low unsuspended life is usually attributed to having separate modem and wifi cards).
