Versatility wins

Linux Furs @pawb.social

Even with SteamOS coming to more systems Bazzite has no plans to go anywhere

  • Yeah, Neo Launcher is really good. Even though its still in its beta right now, the full release is coming soon. I consider it an upgrade over Lawnchair, and honestly probably the best open alternative to Nova (rip) overall.

    Linus Torvalds Lands A 2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch

  • +1 from me as well. I almost never have issues with Bitwarden. And when I do its usually in apps that don't allow autofill in a normalish way. So I'm not sure thays really Google's or Bitwarden's fault, but the app developers...

    Tor and Tails Merge to Fight Global Surveillance and Censorship

  • Yeah, if you don't mind it possibly taking a week to download something... Really like the idea, but in practice it's very slow for something like that, unless you got a lot of seeders for something maybe.

    DankPods just switched to Linux!!!

  • Yeah I permanently switched to Linux in 2019 and even since then things have come a loooong way, let alone from the early 2010's when I began experimenting with Linux. It's sorta would to look back and see just how far things have come in 5 years.

    Vanilla OS 2 Orchid - Stable Release

  • Actually, I think there is some value there. It makes it so the fans have to step up and say "we want this game to be preserved and open sourced." Which sorta serves as a bellwether for whether others would be willing to step up and keep it going once it is. If the fans hadn't stepped up like that, it would have been a bit telling that there may not have been much support for it once it was OSS.

    Happy Midsummer/Summer Solstice 2024!

  • Yeah, but I've found that experience to be... Less than desirable. So I just manually cross-posted it here.

  • 10/10 worth reading! He offers DRM-free versions of the ebook from his website too. SO there's no lockin and you can read them wherever. :)

    A Southern Wolf Review - Noss Saga II: Masks of the Miscam

  • You can switch it to have a more Android look and feel in the appearance settings. The iOS look of Voyager mirrors what Apollo looked like, quite closely actually. The android appearance has a more unique look and feel of its own.

  • Yeah, Voyager really is the best interface overall. The PWA is so good, that it's hard to even realize it's not a native app. By far the smoothest PWA I've ever used.

    I really wanted Eternity to work out, being that I loved (and still love thanks to Revanced patching) Infinity for Reddit. But it does seem like Eternity was too much to try and convert over.

  • WebOS really was so hard ahead of its time. A card based interface, gesture-based navigation, unified and always online email and account systems. There were many things WebOS did that we take for granted now, yet they did it no less than 5 years before Android or iOS. Really it was just the Palm Pre's hardware (I had a Palm Pre Plus) that held it back. Some aspects of it were already a bit dated, even in 2010.

  • Damn, I didn't know that!

  • Huh, that's the first time I've heard of this. I like IPFS, but I do wish it was just a bit... Smoother to use?

  • That's what I mean by a lack of a standard for markdown. There needs to be at least a core standards for stuff (like bolding and italics), that is universal across stuff. Then if a program wants to add onto it, that's fine. But just the core parts being standardized would help a lot.

  • Markdown really should have more widespread support than it does. It's just the right mix between plain text and an office document, I took my college notes with it in fact cause of how fast it was to format stuff. But as far as I know, there's no default program on any of the (major) OS's or Distros for viewing it.

    Maybe it's just due to a lack of standards for formatting or something, but regardless I do wish it was used and supported more.

  • It's great seeing HeliBoard come so far, especially after it seemed like OpenBoard was potentially dead. I'm still a (firewalled on CalyxOS) GBoard user, but HeliBoard is the closest I've found to a viable replacement for it. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what future developments it has in store.

    openSUSE addresses supply chain attack against xz compression library

  • Neo-Launcher is still being worked on, they are expecting to push version 1.0 later this year to GitHub, but progress has been steady from what I know. You can get the latest beta version of Neo-Launcher from their Telegram to try out. Don't let the "beta" part turn you off, it's basically production ready, I've been using it now as my launcher for well over a year, possibly even 2 at this point.
