@nixCraft I remember my first #ArchLinux install attempt. Fresh off of Ubuntu, I heard it was a big deal. Got an ISO, launched it and... terminal... with no network connection. I wish someone had told me there was an #ArchWiki that I should have open on another machine that already has a web browser and internet connection.
I wonder if anyone has thought about shipping the wiki on install ISO's...
@ondrejkolin @sesivany since when does #phosh have split-screen? And how do you do it?
@dabeaz DRY, "software development is 80% maintenance", and suckless.
The more code I delete, the better the world will be.
@tdarb I clone all the time on mobile. Do you not use your mobile-device as a development machine?
@jameschip @liaizon Umm, like doing business with police is a different issue than scanning messages client-side, which is effectively a back door into all encrypted communication. I really fail to see "Discord > Matrix" in your hot take.
(now there are other reasons to avoid Matrix, like their effective metadata monopoly, but all of those problems also affect Discord)
@feudjais @postmarketOS @calebccff I mostly use my #OnePlus6 for browsing, hacking, podcasts, and XMPP calls and texting via #jmp.chat.
(The only things I use a different phone for are taking pictures and navigation)

the april blog post is out, ditching duckduckgo for mojeek. i've loved using this search engine for a few months now, and wanted to write about why i opted to use it in place of duckduckgo. https://hamblingreen.com/
@popey which inspired me to write the patch for "mimic1" (flite) to enable pitch selection via ssml tags.
@popey Why would anyone use the mac app store when `brew cask install $appname` is still the easiest way to get apps. (and brew has no GPLv3 bans)
@dimitrisk Personally, I'm more committed to XMPP, but if someone wanted to manage this project, it should be pretty easy: a library exists (https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-protocol-c). I'd be happy to give guidance and help test or code.
@dimitrisk ( @silence is an app for encrypting SMS's, so the wake up would be handled by the modem, which would work fine on a PinePhone)
@dimitrisk you should port https://silence.im to Linux Mobile. Could even run it in SXMO in sxmo_hook_tailtextlog.sh so the messages would be encrypted-at-rest.

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.
That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:
