Tell Unihertz: Support the Jelly Max or let Lineage do it!
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/60123252
Unihertz is one of the only phone manufacturers still making small phones. The Jelly Max is the only compact 5G Android phone on the market.
BUT... Unihertz has a terrible track record when it comes to supporting their phones. Most OEMs issue Android and security updates for years. Unihertz phones often get less than 1 year of software/firmware support, including security updates. In a recent email to me, Unihertz confirmed, verbatim, "We don't update our phones very often. And we're not sure of the exact frequency of updates."
This is crazy, and it doesn't have to be this way. Chris Allegretta has argued that Unihertz could allow the Lineage project to take over the Jelly Max and ensure that the phone is supported for years to come, simply by sending them some restore zips and 5 pre-prod units. That's it!

The annoying fullscreen/Linux bug
This bug is driving me crazy. Watching videos in fullscreen does not inhibit the screensaver/sleep settings on Linux. Whenever I try to stream a movie in fullscreen, my screensaver kicks in at the appointed time, as if I'm just idle.
This bug has been around forever. This seems to be the active entry on Bugzilla.
I LOVE Firefox, and it's a great browser for using on my Linux HTPC. For my purposes, it's much better than Brave. But you know which browser doesn't have this problem on Linux? I'm sorry to say... it's Brave.
I've tried different versions of Firefox: Flatpak, ESR, Trunk. They all have the same problem. When I open them from nothing, they often work great. I can watch a movie fine. But then I close out the movi
Vertical mouse. Been using it for 10+ years now and (I hope) it's saved me from wrist injuries.
my friends are weird about the email rule
For the folks in here saying that Mozilla shouldn't depend on the Google search deal: how much would you be willing to pay for Firefox to make up that $450 million annually? Because that's your choice: either you pay, Google pays, or advertisers pay.
Folks who moved from Google to Proton: What do you wish you'd known at the start?
I'm getting ready to move off of Google (and Private Internet Access), and Proton is looking like the best option. But I'm nervous. Some of the things I worry about:
- Calendar support: I rely really heavily on Google Calendar. How will I share events with others? And what will I do without Google Tasks?
- VPN App Quality: Seeing some mixed reviews on Proton VPN Android app.
- Proton ethics & politics: Look, I really don't want to open up the holy war here. My big stipulation is: I don't want my money to go to a company that will donate its money or services to fascists. To my knowledge, Proton does not do that. I know they made a post that seemed to praise GOP antitrust efforts. I do not believe that that is the same thing as lending material support for fascists. (And, as someone who is very well read-in on antitrust issues, I'll say that -- for a lot of complicated reasons -- there is some truth to Proton's post, but I wish they had framed it as a critique of th
Good to know, thank you! I too, love boobies
TY! I'll give that one another look. Can it export .fountain?
This is niche, but I really want a good FOSS screenwriting software that can rival Highland. There are some options like Trelby and others (because the Fountain syntax makes interchangeable screenplay files possible) but right now none of them are as good as Highland. A good alternative could let me finally leave Apple
I want to learn more about this! Searching for "bed backdoor " right now
Some rules take care of themselves
Send is open source. I believe it's a fork of Firefox Send
A full-screen RSS visualizer/screensaver
RSS is such a cool tool, and with the rise of the social web, RSS looks to be making a comeback. It would be so cool if there was a screensaver/app that could display RSS feeds in a visually-interesting way. Apple used to have this back in the days of OSX, but now the only thing I can find is Rollgator, which is fine but not exactly the most creative. Can someone build a cool tool that lets us see our RSS feeds beautifully? Trying to find something to put up on my TV during the day.
This tool lets you search for all Android e readers that fit your criteria:
Ok, this makes sense, thank you.
I'm now able to access my Jellyfin server from other devices in my home. (A browser on another machine, and an Apple TV with Swiftfin).
If I wanted to extend access to people outside my home, what's the best way?
Thank you
Vue is the only browser-based movie client listed on the Jellyfin site. Is there a better browser-based option?

Fun fact about the original Sim City: the lead developer said that they wanted to model real cities in the game, but "we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots."

Thank you for this clear, helpful answer
Somone PLEASE make a good read-it-later app for e-ink tablets!
I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.
Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.
Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?
There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.
Are there any other options???
A Google Calendar for art openings in NYC
New York has a great gallery scene, and every Thursday you can attend gallery openings. But finding out which galleries are hosting events can be a little archaic: The only sites that list openings are really old, and they don't offer any way to subscribe (say, via RSS).
You know what would be great? A Google Calendar that's updated with all the best art gallery openings. For starters, it could source from these sites:
Can someone make this *please *so I can subscribe to it?
Can somebody make nonsense.nyc into a Google calendar?
There's a great newsletter called nonsense nyc that lists great, off beat events for the coming week.
But it's only available as a newsletter, which is kinda annoying. I'd love to have it as a Google Calendar.
I could manually take the events from nonsense and add each one to my calendar, but that's a chore. Does anyone know a good way to automate it?
How to assign keyboard shortcuts in Linux?
I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.
I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.
undefined
xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t
But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.
I've tried alternate commands:
undefined
xdotool key ctrl+t
and
undefined
xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t
but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?
Thank you!

Window controls moved in latest update
For years, I've used a CSS trick to move my window controls (Minimize, Fullscreen, Close) from the Menu Bar into the lower toolbar, right beside my Overflow menu. (I'm on Windows 10, so these are the controls you see in the upper right window)
But suddenly, that doesn't work. My window controls are back up in the Menu Bar. That's unfortunate, because I usually hide my Menu Bar.
Can anyone review my code and tell me what needs to change? Thank you!
