I have had the chance to use it on a few different devices and ROMs. Been with it since before name change.

Performance, especially bugginess is highly variable. I don’t know if it’s the phone, the ROM, other apps, settings or what. Sometimes it is smooth and you forget its there. other times it is crashing every 5 mins, sometimes without being fully recoverable. Like on a certain set up my widgets would disappear when it crashed and widgets aren’t in the backup so you have to redo them from scratch.

If it doesn’t work on you current device just don’t give up on it and whenever you get a new one give it a spin again.

Do an image search for screenshots, the repo doesnt really do it justice.

On f droid.

That is my previous experience. I guess i missed it somehow.

If LVM isn’t somehow mitigating the issue I will do a reinstall.

I have run out of space on / before and it is a huge pain in the ass. I do not need much room for /home on this system so I would prefer to be cautious and avoid problems down the road.

Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to specify this… maybe a different installer image.

Actually I just saw this: Zoom terms of use updated to allow AI training on user-generated data, no opt-out

Maybe if zoom is systematically collecting data on all users they would be able to build a reasonable model. Then it could be leaked or shared.

What do you think?

I wonder if he is friends with the guy who runs calibre and kitty terminal. I read somewhere that he was seriously planning to single-handedly maintain python 2 after it was EOLed because it was so integral to calibre. But was eventually talked into transitioning to python 3. The idea of that is totally nuts; the guy is a machine.

It sounds like it would have to be a very targeted attack. Like if the CIA is after you this might be a concern.

I agree. As soon as the update that disabled SMS was pushed to my phone, signal was effectively dead.

Integrating with SMS was so smart. The person who got me into it said “there is literally no reason not to do it” because it was seamless. And I used the same argument to get other people into it. But basically everyone stopped using it as soon as SMS was removed. I don’t have the brain space to remember who is on signal and who is not and go to the appropriate messenger.

I read the whole long thread on their website where the devs were arguing in favor of this and all the reasons were IMHO stupid. I think someone wanted to tank signal. Got tired of funding it probably. It was too good to be true with no obvious business model so always thought the day would come, and it did. Too bad, it was very good at what it did.

People who run printer companies should be incarcerated and forced to hand copy the source code of the linux kernel with a very small pencil.

Several years ago, I decided to finally buy an all-in-one so I could print my favorite photos and do some scanning. I did what I thought to be pretty adequate research to find a model where the ink wasn’t too expensive. It was Epson x-something.

Printed a few pictures but then, foolishly allowed to update software.

After that, it doesn’t scan (scan!!) if one of the inks is low. When I bought it I thought, if nothing else I will have a scanner. Wrong!

It turned out to be impossible to obtain the epson ink cartridges. No retail location near me sold them. Not on amazon. They sold it on the epson website. I ordered some. When the delivery came I was at work. So what this shipping company does is leaves a note saying “you can pick up your parcel at our facility” with an address that was miles away from my house in an industrial park hardly served by public transit. They were only open during business hours so I would have had to book a day off work and the google maps estimate was >3 hours round trip. I don’t even think I ever got a refund for the package which sat at the courier for 2 weeks and got returned to epson.

At the time I bought the printer, it was possible to use 3rd party ink. However their “security update” robustly protected against this. I had intended to buy the epson ink but I was never able to. So I tried 3rd party. It didn’t work, the printer wouldn’t use it because it could tell it was not epson brand.

There was no way to do a factory reset on the device, which IMHO is crazy for all kinds of reasons. The ink vendors had stuff up about how you could use some closed-source hack tool to force it to down grade. It primarily ran on windows which I don’t have. Also it seemed to me that the application could be doing literally anything to the printer, it was mysterious. I tried some things I read about how to force it to return to original hardware but it never worked.

I spent sooo much time researching, troubleshooting, reading on forums, shopping etc. And some money, I think about $100-150. What I got for it was a half dozen prints, mostly testing out how the printer worked. 2 of these were worth keeping in any respect so I have 2 photos that costed >$50 and many hours of work each. After a few years I gave up and threw it out.

Yes this was the winner!

I have settled into kasts. Thanks for the rec. :) It is simple but does the job. If my phone issues persist I will try the flatpack of cpod.

it looks like a low-bs rss reader. nice!

• vocal: crash on opml import
• kasts: seems to work for downloading and playing. thanks!
• cpod: not working in aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cpod

What the fuck the video starts there are 2 people squaring off. Zero mention of what happened prior or any curiosity. I see no reason to assume the man pictured was the agressor. What about the other guy?

I do not know about cat livers.

But my general personal opinion is that vets can tend to over investigate.

When you are getting into a series of tests for a cat (or for yourself), some good questions to ask are along the lines of:

• what will change depending on the outcome of this test?

• what would be the worst case scenario of not doing this test?

• what are the risks of running this test?

Sometimes questions like this have led the vet to explain there is basically nothing to be done regardless of findings and the reason for the test is “to know”. If they suspect a diagnosis for which the treatment is $20k, and you will under no circumstance be able or willing to pay $20k, then there is effectively no treatment. So the real purpose of the test is to satisfy intellectual curiosity. If the test itself is expensive and/or uncomfortable for the animal, why bother?

If a likely outcome is more testing, then you need to keep digging. Endless investigations with no likely change in treatment is a service for the human to feel like they are doing the right thing, not a service for the cat to be more comfortable or healthy.

As an example, a cat developed a limp with no apparent discomfort for no known reason. He was an adventurous outdoor cat so some kind of injury was possible. I took the cat to the vet who found nothing on physical exam and xray. The vet wanted to then do a bunch of other imaging. When I learned what he thought could be going on, I read about the conditions. The treatment for those of which treatments even exist, is a very expensive (equivalent to several months of my take home income), invasive surgery with long recovery time. Complications always possible with such a procedure. You then have to do long term physical therapy to the cat. I am sure the cat in question would be miserable about all of this. And after all that, the chances that it will actually solve the problem are less than 50%. So therefore we elected to stop investigating.
