OK, I also saw that Technology Connections video…

BUT counter point: I rinse, scrape, wipe stuff off of the dishes before loading, but not because I don’t think the dishwasher can’t handle it. Rather, I don’t want crap to accumulate inside of the dishwasher. Cleaning the filter and other parts with a ton of crap is disgusting, so I’m trying to minimize the material that goes into the dishwasher.

I just started experimenting with SailfishOS, a Linux (non-Android) OS for phones. It’s got an app store, but since it’s not Android the app selection is pretty limited. I was actually wondering if this could be a compromise between full smartphone and full dumbphone.

I am able to run some Android apps, by installing them through F-Droid, like Bitwarden, but it seems like I wouldn’t be able to install Facebook I think? Idk. Literally just got this SailfishOS phone from Jolla Devices yesterday.

Recommendations only appear in the mobile app.

Holy moly! There they are! Thank you!!!

I’ve been mostly using the website!

I recently signed up for Qobuz as well… The plan is to stream for a while, but buy music along the way so I’m not left with nothing at the end like Spotify.

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but… Do recommendations not work at all? It seems like the recommendations are some global list for everyone, not a personalized list based on what I’m listening to. I’ve been trying to click the heart icon for stuff I like, but it doesn’t seem to change the recommendations…

Someone needs to make: buenus - clean room proprietary software to AGPLv3

It’s satire, but also fully functional. And they take money.

So, it’s a bit like your boss saying: you’re fired! LOL. Hahahaha. It’s a joke! Laugh! But, also you are really fired.

HiDPI has been an issue on Linux for decades. If you’re new to Linux, I’d highly recommend you do not get a HiDPI display. You’re gonna have to apply workarounds to get your apps looking normal and for some apps you might just be stuck with blurry fonts.

If you’re new to Linux and want less problems, avoid HiDPI.

Just look at how big this thread got: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301

doesn’t mean every customer that wants high resolution has to suffer.

There’s no possible solution to this problem. Oh, no. If only someone could invent some way where customers that want to deal with bugs could buy a HiDPI display and customers who just want their software to work could chose a regular DPI display. Like, if 2 options were available or something crazy like that… Idk.

Also yeah, I’m on a super niche DE nobody has ever heard of: GNOME.

I’ve dealt with this first hand. It was so bad I returned my old Framework. Not doing that again. Anyway, looks like nothing has changed. Have fun dealing with scaling issues. ✌️

It better not have a HiDPI display… It’s not “fully Linux compatible” if they ship it with a buggy, non-compatible HiDPI display.

“Full Linux support” should mean I don’t have blurry fonts, oddly shaped windows, stuck using only certain DEs, stuck using only certain apps.

Huh. Great idea on researching how to best ask for donations. Definitely agree with the research, popups are annoying. I think I like Immich’s method. It’s a button at the bottom, but it’s not annoying. Signal is annoying because I’m a monthly donor, but I still get popups…

Ooh! And you can add an F-Droid repo!

What’s your alternative?

Today, AI can be pointed at an open source codebase and systematically scan it for vulnerabilities.

Well, then do that.

iknowrite? If these magical scanners can find all the bugs in your code… then why don’t they use these magical scanners to find all their bugs in their code!!! 😂

LOL.

Before, the whole world operated on “security through obscurity”…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 😂 🤡

Also known as dynamic or personalized pricing, surveillance pricing is when a store charges different shoppers different prices for the same item at the same time, based on something the store “knows” about them as an individual. … American consumers are subject to dynamic pricing millions of times every day when they are buying airline tickets online, using Uber, or ordering anything on Amazon.com.

Airplane tickets and Uber I was familiar with. I wasn’t totally aware Amazon did that too.

Adversarial interoperability. I like it! Great video!

If you’re talking about switching your current phone to Linux, yeah, idk.

But, if you’re willing to purchase a new device, then the Jolla C2 or the Sony Xperia 10 III apparently run SailfishOS decently.

(I recently ordered an Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices with SailfishOS. I was hoping it could become my main phone…)

Sounds right != Right

Packaged with a delightful new UI/UX, it’s hardware and software engineered as a true alternative to Big Tech.

Is this just Android with a custom skin? Or a real alternative like SailfishOS from Jolla?

Sounds like an AI SlopTuber.
