But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates ... Just get used to using the package manager

Yeah, package managers are great... but also... for somethings... flatpaks from Flathub/Software Center are also great because those apps get automatically updated in the background, so you don't even have to think about updating anything.

Steam, Obsidian, and Discord are on Flathub (easy, popular app store for Linux)

Hey, that's a win. I'll take it.

Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.

Don't Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?

Wow! It's so nice that the company got back to him! /s

But, seriously, I'm not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.

Yep. I didn't realize the flatpak version worked better. I never get those manual update prompts anymore and Software Center automatically updates Discord when there are updates.

The Ratta Supernote A6X2 Nomad is 329USD, cheaper than the devices you found. The A5X2 (bigger) is 505USD though.

Devices I've owned:

  • reMarkable 1 (boo subscription!)
  • reMarkable 2 (boo subscription!)
  • Supernote A5X (happy with this one)

I currently own the Supernote A6X2 and I'm super happy with it. I use it almost every day to diagram stuff for programming. I also read technical books on it. The Supernote A5X (the previous version) was also very good. I just ended up liking the smaller size better.

My favorite feature is that Supernote does NOT require a subscription! The device also has plenty of other features. You can read PDFs and ebooks, of course. You can even install the Kindle app on it, though you can't install any Play Store app. The palm blocking is good. There are gestures to help you write faster. There's a shape tool. Different pencil sizes, highlighters. Paper backgrounds. Hand writing recognition. And you don't need to buy replacement pen tips!

Supernote cons vs reMarkable:

  • The Supernote isn't as polished as the reMarkable. The Supernote definitely isn't bad, especially the newer A6X2, but it does feel a notch below reMarkable in terms of the build feel.
  • If you really, really, REEEEAAALLY want to pretend you're writing with a pencil and paper, then the reMarkable will be closer to that. Writing on the Supernote is just different. It's more like writing on a notebook with a pen.

I went to one of those corporate places for an oil change ... This fell off sometime on my drive home from work.

Exact same thing happened to me. Ever since then, I do my own oil changes.

Although, there's definitely a startup cost. If you're tight on cash, then I wouldn't recommend it.

I guess the splash shield isn't essential for driving... although, you should probably get it back on at some point. It'll keep the elements out of the engine a bit. Getting water down there will probably lead to corrosion in the future. Not to mention rocks that could dent things down there.

It shouldn't actually be too hard to put it back on. It's usually just held on by plastic screws. You just need to buy replacement screws (a few bucks) and find a screw driver. The hard part would be lifting the car high enough so you can crawl under it. Then just line up the holes and put the screws on.

Watching this post. I still don't fully understand how Usenet works.

I don't use a phone case. I already think phones are too big. Adding a case makes the phone even bigger and even bulkier. I'm usually pretty good at not dropping my phone.

Yes, usually, because I actually did drop it recently. 😅 Although, the screen is fine. It just has a little love tap on the corner. It's got character now. It's got the "worn" look.

I think we’re forgetting the basic fact that we make music because we want to.

Eggs-fucking-actly

 

I noticed this FOUC keeps happening in Waterfox, but not Librewolf. So I'm making the switch to Librewolf!

Hey folks, We have been working on a project called InlineStyle

A European, open-source, fediverse based alternative to the Google ecosystem.

It’s a single platform with these services:

  • 📧 Email address @inlinestyle.it
  • 📹 Video sharing via PeerTube
  • 🎵 Music streaming with Funkwhale
  • 📝 Docs and Drive via Collabora/NextCloud
  • 📒 Markdown based notes
  • 🎮 Browser-based FOSS games (Celeste Classic, Tyrian, SuperTux, etc.)
  • 🌍 Static personal site hosting

All hosted in Europe. No telemetry, no ads, no corporate BS.

It’s not a startup pitch, just something we built because we got tired of being locked in.

The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (€1.90/month) that unlocks upload features and personal email/webspace. Free tier available too, no login needed to browse.

🔗 https://www.inlinestyle.it/

🔗 https://mastodon.social/@inlinestyle

Would love your thoughts. What should I improve? What’s missing for you to consider switching?

Our goal is to try to build a real #DeGoogle fediverse based path that doesn’t feel like a downgrade. It will take time, but we are willing to try and stay committed to the mission.

I'm experimenting with raidcale. I'm trying to find some client apps for Linux and Android.

So far, I have:

Desktop

  • Calendars: GNOME Calendar
  • Contacts: GNOME Contacts
  • Tasks: Errands
  • Journals: Unknown

Android:

Apps working with VTODO seem to be common enough, but does anyone know desktop apps that work with VJOURNAL?

 

Source First License 1.1: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This is a non-open source license. They were claiming to be open source at one point, but they've listened to the community and stopped claiming they were open source. They are not trying to be Open Source™.

They call themselves "source first". https://sourcefirst.com/

They're trying to create a world where developers can make money from writing source first software, where the big tech oligarchy can't just suck them dry.

 

Those commitments and principles are under threat. Synadia, the original donor of the NATS project, has notified CNCF of its intention to “withdraw” the NATS project from the foundation and relicense the code under the Business Source License (BUSL)—a non-open source license that restricts user freedoms and undermines years of open development.
