noisetorch does an ok job for video conferences and works on your speaker (easier on you) and on your microphone (easier on them). We often use it to limit keyboard noise during meetings.

I have not had many issues in the past 15 or more years myself running Linux exclusively aside from a shorter Macbook period. Perhaps I have just been lucky.

We sported (in guessed cronological order of first buy): Dell, HP, Lenovo, Slimbook, Tuxedo, Starlabs, BTO all running Linux at our company. We have not had big issues with any except for keyboard on a Dell, Tuxedo, Slimbook and cooling on a Lenovo. Since I chose the Slimbook many have followed on the path of smaller suppliers and I think we rarely buy from the big makes now.

I have been very happy with slimbook. I came from a macbook (bad idea) with the bad butterfly keyboard and the slimbook was a big upgrade on that front. It’s still not the greatest keyboard for some but I do like it. I have been wanting to buy a new one but whenever something broke or was insufficient I could either upgrade (2 x nvmeSSD slots and RAM can be replaced) or they still supplied spare parts when I sent them an email (keyboard replacement after 4 years). I wanted a framework but Slimbook has offered me spare parts as needed for longerbtham could buy a framework and the slimbook still works well. Plus it’s less expensive. Replacement of the keyboard was not toolless requiring glue to be heated but I did manage to quickly do it with a sleepy head at night. I’d buy their new 13" if this one would be out of service. I’d buy one now but it feels such a waste.

Things I did not like 6 years ago: webcam and microphone of lesser quality, display nice and matte with good color rendition but lower resolution than I’d prefer, no USBC charging on USBC port. Display and USBC are resolved on the new models, no clue about webcam and microphone.

Agree. They’ll surely to pay the cost and they have a proven track record on handling any potential lock in.

The Docker runtime is probably ok as it is a tool instead of a community. The registry has a community aspect and is where we’ll likely see exploitation of vendor lock in. Luckily Docker was grounded well and you can set up your own registry.

Check out termux so you can combine the native install with tools such as Git to have a fuller installation. org-roam seems to work. No native compilation but performance is still ok. Also turn on touch-screen-display-keyboard and touch-screen-precision-scroll.

Updated my comment to reflect this. Thanks for clearing out the confusion.

There is a standard connector which existed before big screens landed in cars, the OBD2 connector. Dongles are cheap and you can read the output from your phone or computer. Some dongles support bluetooth. The connector is mandated in some markets and I guess that makes it less interesting to add a redundant interface inside of the car. It’s fun to try if you’re interested. Manufacturers can extend the error codes IIRC.

Tesla has a service mode on the display through which you can scan the car for faults, run a battery test, … It is password protected but the password is publicly available.

FP5 using e/OS here showing the same artifacts.

I agree, elections should be held fairly or should be held again. I’m not sure what to say to naysayers claiming the establishment controls the results. I also wonder how we can ensure this doesn’t get misused.

It would be great to have broad discussions around the topic and apply these measures when things get out of hand.

I think we must stop personalised automated (selection of) content towards end-users for anything that might be political (and possibly just anything). There could be a place for such systems if the biases and tracking can easily be controlled by end-users such that they could easily apply other points of view.

Naah it’s ok. Rigged elections are akin to saying something awful you didn’t mean when someone pissed you off. Can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube, they say. But at some point you do have to clean it up and take another tube lest your teeth will rot.

I run e/OS on a FP5. I ran e/OS on a Essential PH-1 before and going back to a phone with Google installed just didn’t sit right with me. I did not feel like I could trust the device even after trying to toggle as much of the creepy spying off. As if there’s still someone probably looking over your shoulder because you configured something wrong.

It is not perfect, but it is easy to use and full-featured. All regular apps feel great and battery life is good. I still use specific Google services (such as the calendar for work) but no specific Google apps. I guess Maps is the biggest challenge now but alternatives are good enough to get around with.

You can run Android apps. Not sure about payed Android apps. I try to install FOSS apps through the integrated f-droid store if they’re available there. Installing app store apps sometimes fails because Google blocked the installer. I could install everything so far when needed (including banking apps and specific apps for the vacuum cleaner and such). Sometimes the Android app store apps don’t update for a while and I don’t notice.

I don’t use Murena’s services but self-host Nextcloud. Based on the information they send I think they’re doing a great job for their size.

I flashed the FP5 myself with a beta of e/OS when it was just out because the other phone was broken and (again) I did not feel right with the spying demon in my pocket with native Android. You could flash your device too.

It’s comfortable on this side. If you have further specific questions, shoot.

Which prompt, parameters and model was this generated with?

I agree. Without an NSFW tag this video auto-plays when scrolling through the feed on Voyager. If playback would require an action to start playing then it’d feel different indeed.

I’m sorry, but even if this was a cockroach being killed, I still think it could be NSFW. None of this should be happening, it does. These are humans on both sides being murdered for no good reason and it is not the sort of imagery kids should accidentally see. The NSFW blurring exists for such cases.

I hope the aggressor retreats.

That being said, I don’t see the sidebar asking to blur right now. I don’t know if it is against my instance’s rules. It feels like common sense to me.

Can this sort of video be tagged as NSFW? Or is it tagged as such and do I have a wrong setting in my client? It is very disturbing.

Looks good to me.

docker-ember largely automates such a setup with specific mounts for linking node modules from other folders, being able to bind to localhost for when you run the backend on your own machine, and exposing ports for livereload. May include other secret sauce. Some of that is closely tied to EmberJS.

I’m a fan of using tools you understand. What you show here is comprehensible and sufficient for now👌

I’m also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don’t see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?

I don’t think Xerox invented the computer mouse. It was first drawn out by Douglass Engelbart and presented to the public in the 1968 presentation “Augmenting the Human Intellect” (you can watch it on the present day, it was recorded).

It was my understanding (which I did not verify) that this was picked up by Xerox and others and that windowing systems evolved from there on with Xerox leading towards Desktop Publishing.

This must be from another timeline. Sorry for the inconvenience, please skip.

User focused applications running on my own internet accessible infrastructure fully based on open standards and interoperable with the Fediverse… Yes please

I’m looking forward to play with this.
