Thanks for explaining.
Thanks for the context.
MATE has been on most of my machines, except the BSD ones.
But past year or so, I have grown a fondness towards ctwm, and gradually migrated my machines to it, Linux and BSD alike.
It is not a DE, but the fact that I have to assemble my suite of software myself on my machines, makes the point of using DEs moot.
I really don’t.
I guess this only applies to lonely Finns.
I have heard enough stories of Indians who get the cold shoulder and are treated unfriendly. It doesn’t matter if someone is fresh off the boat or has been there for over a decade, earned their citizenship, and truly assimilated. Finns just don’t seem interested in connecting with Indians.
I am not blaming the Finns, nor am I trying to criticise the idea of “perkele,” just offering some context.
I am wondering the same, mentioning the specific hardware makes very little sense, when it could just be mentioned as Linux/Windows/PC and Android/GrapheneOS/etc.
It would arguably be more informative too for people looking for alternatives for their device platforms.
Sharing another app suggestion(s) for Android: Tubular [0] or the more up-to-date LastPipeBender [1].
Both apps differ from NewPipe and its variants by integrating with PeerTube along with YouTube, apart from providing features like SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike.
I have started using PeerTube much more often as my subscriptions from YouTube and PeerTube are now shown together, which makes for a seamless and superior experience altogether.

I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.
E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD's erratic update schedules for its phones.
I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone's release date.
Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.
The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.
GPU-Accelerated Terminal Emulator
So is Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, and even iTerm.
The README's About section[0] sheds no light on what sets Ghostty apart from the competition, while using vague terms and marketing hyperboles.

Most recently, Marvel's Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.
But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.
An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.
Thank you. I shall try it out as a secondary general keyboard.
Thank you for sharing your workflow.
This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.
- How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
- What do you do with the videos after watching?
Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.
How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?
It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.
I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!
Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.
I use Android as my secondary phone, my primary is an iPhone. Though for the past six months, my use of Android has surpassed iOS as the latter is now only for calls, messages and reading emails. For replying to emails, I use a computer.
I have removed as many Google apps as I could using Canta, as long as the phone is able to boot and function.
The apps, in no particular order (read: the order in which I can recollect):
| App | Notes |
|---|---|
| Droidify | F-Droid client |
| HeliBoard | General keyboard |
| Unexpected Keyboard | Programmer’s keyboard |
| Fossify Calendar, Gallery, Music | Self-explanatory |
| Voyager | Lemmy client, although not a native Android app |
| Eternity | Native Android Lemmy client, although not as good as Voyager |
| Tubular | PeerTube and YouTube client with QoL niceties |
| Calculator++ | Calculator with QoL niceties |
| Cromite | Chromium based browser with QoL niceties |
| Termux | Terminal emulator |
| Rethink DNS + Firewall | To block ads and monitor network activity |
| Orbot | For accessing TOR |
| Emacs | Still setting it up on Android, only to browse my Denote repository (which seems the only way I can browse it on any mobile device) |
| Aurora store | To install Apple Music |
| Apple Music | To use the music subscription from my primary phone |
| Proton VPN | Self-explanatory |
| Bitwarden | Password manager |

Gunn elaborated […] while talking with Variety.
“I’m excited for people to get to see the essence of what we’re doing, because it really has been like this private secret that we’ve all been hoarding,” he said. “We felt really good about it, like from a moral place, even from the beginning. We all felt like we were doing something good, both in terms of quality and in terms of actually something that’s not a fascistic power fantasy.”

I learned about IBM’s Granite LLM[0] when a toot[1] had a mention of it. I came across the toot while reading a comment[2] here on Lemmy.

Using vintage laptops in 2024: How do you make it work?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18205906
I have an old ThinkPad T42 coming my way. I plan to use it alongside my daily driver mainly for reading, emacs, and retro gaming. I will be dual booting a lightweight flavour of Linux (TBD) and Windows 98 on it.
However, I am a bit concerned about its ability to handle today's internet, with all of its heavy websites.
I would love to hear from those of you who are still using old ThinkPads (or other vintage laptops) in 2024. How do you make it work? Do you use lightweight browsers, specific configurations, or lightweight websites to get around the limitations of older hardware?
Are there any specific tips or tricks you can share for getting the most out of an old ThinkPad on the modern web?
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose

Suggestions for a complimentary typeface to JetBrains Mono for reading and writing documents or prose
I am looking for a typeface that complements well to the one that I use to write code (JetBrains Mono). I will be using this to write documents and articles.
For further context, I am configuring Emacs' org-mode where I would be using both typefaces together. I could use JetBrains Mono for both purposes as I find it capable. But I would like to explore my options.
I have also looked at Iosevka. It offers variants for coding, reading, and writing. But I would prefer to stick with JetBrains Mono as much as I can for coding purposes.

Show/highlight invisible characters like zero-width-space in Emacs
In my pursuit to migrate from Vim to Emacs, I have stumbled on yet another roadblock.
When working with files that contain special whitespace characters, Vim/Neovim would automatically highlight these. This saved me a lot of time during debugging or data analysis, and is a functionality that I struggled to get to work on more modern IDEs.
However, this does not work out-of-the-box neither on vanilla Emacs nor Doom Emacs. I am unable to find any working solutions online. I assumed whitespace-mode would have handled this, but it is not the case.
It would be really helpful if the community here can help solve my problem as I deal with such characters on a daily basis. Until then, I have to pause my pursuit and stick with the trusty Neovim.

I recently noticed a new folder in the root level of my Home directory, named ai_overlay_tmp: In preparation for a Mac Power Users episode, I've been playing with a bunch of AI software, and I assumed something I downloaded generated this folder.

Bloomberg - Apple Says No Major App Developers Accept New Outside Payments
www.bloomberg.com Apple Says No Major App Developers Accept New Outside Payments
No major app developers have signed up to use outside payment options that Apple Inc. introduced earlier this year for its App Store because the fees they pay would be at least as high as they were before, according to testimony presented to a federal judge.

HMD Pulse trio unveiled: affordable phones with 'Gen 1 repairability'
HMD is betting that consumers are moving to more environmentally-conscious products and are placing an emphasis on repairability. HMD says the Pulse range is built to “Gen 1 repairability” and that users can pick up self-repair kits from iFixit. Repairs include changing the battery, but also swapping the screen.
To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm?

To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm?
As a long time Vimmer, I have recently started using Emacs out of sheer curiosity. I chose Doom Emacs as it has evil-mode enabled by default, and do not want to dive down the rabbit hole of configuring the editor from scratch (at least, not yet!).
After installing and enabling
libvtermin Emacs, I am having a frustrating experience. I configured ZSH shell to use vi-mode keybindings which interferes with evil-mode whenever I pressEscorC-[.After having searched a little, I came across a workaround to disable evil-mode when in vterm. But it is still not a smooth experience. For instance, when switching between buffers (
C-w C-w).I would like to know how others in the community tackled this problem. Is there a better solution to this problem? Or have you made peace with the aforementioned workaround? Or have you stopped using vterm entirely?

Paper cuts that come with every new software update
After using Apple’s products exclusively for close to a decade, I have seen a pattern emerge with their software updates where every new update introduces a set of trivial regressions in the UX.
- Swipe to seek a video in iOS’ native player has stopped working since I updated to iOS 17. In fact, this paper cut is what prompted me to write this post. I believe it didn’t work on iOS 15 either but worked flawlessly on iOS 16.
- Across all of iOS 16 versions installed on my phone, long-pressing an item on screen (links, app icons, files, etc.) to show the contact menu and selecting an entry in the menu without listing the finger didn’t work. It did until iOS 15 and it does now in iOS 17.
- Spotlight in iOS 14 (and back in iOS 10 or 11, I don’t remember well) took slightly longer to load (and even stutter on iPadOS). I don’t find this issue anymore on the same devices that had this earlier.
- The magnifying bubble that popped up while moving the caret in a text field stopped working a
Are there more themes that support a plethora of apps?
I know that Nord, Catppuccin and Dracula support a range of apps. There is also Solarized and Gruvbox which have been ported by the community to many other apps.
I have been using Nord (Solarized before it) for a long time and wanted to change things up. I am not really a fan of the use of purple in Dracula and Catppuccin. So, curious if there are more themes out there?
A feature I waited for ever since I switched to an iPhone - Photos app can now tag pets.
I would submit a feedback every time I missed the feature while using the app.
I can now stop using Google Photos. :D
Why is it so silent here? and a question on the community rules and policies.
Itna sannata kyu hai bhai? [Why is it so silent here?]
Arrived here after reading the post on lemmy.ml.
However, the community is not as active as I hoped it would. Not many posts, and most posts have zero comments.
What do you think could drive more engagement here?
My initial thoughts on this.
The community could be more active if the rules and moderation policies are made known.
What are the rules for posting here? Are news articles allowed? Or is it just general articles? What about discussion posts? What topics are allowed for discussion?
For example, I wanted to post about the recent events around casteism in Madhya Pradesh. But I wasn’t sure if it met the policies and rules. Moreover, recent articles are about general topics or listicles, so I ended up dropping the idea.
To encourage more posts, here is my daily driver
- Zoom65 EE with case and PCB foam
- GMK WoB
- AEBoards Naevies V2 stock
This is my sixth keyboard (fourth custom). The experience has been extremely good considering the mostly stock setup.
Though I am going to stick with this for a while, I do know my next will be a split ergo. Do share your suggestions for a wireless split ergo.
