  • Its really a shame Huawei went for a closed source OS on phones (and probably laptops in the future if not now) instead of Linux or another open source OS (they even started with an open source version of their os). I hope this harmony os doesn't take up in other countries or we would be going backwards.

  • We really should be pushing for fully open source stack (firmware, os) in all iot devices. They are not very complicated so this should be entirely possible. Probably will need a EU law though.

  • aha thanks! i was wondering how ppl do this yeah but tbf discord has a lot of features

  • depending on which client you use, the ui can be very discord-like (this is cinny): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinnyapp/cinny-site/main/assets/preview2-light.png

    Also matrix has calls (at least element does), though not sure about screen share. And since when was discord e2e?

    I ll admit matrix was for a long time really slow but matrix 2.0 largely solves this and other usability issues. Calls and screen share are still not standardized but its all being worked on.

    With matrix, its not just about building one app, its about building a decentralized ecosystem all connected by the matrix protocol. So things tend to take more time.

  • why dont you make something like r/SubredditSimulator? It would be cool to see what modern llms can do in this respect.

  • They will become cheaper over time. In the future buying robots like these could be like buying a new car i.e. expensive but still reachable for most and for others they might be able to buy used ones.

    But I dont have much faith in modern tech companies to not fumble this really badly. Will probably end up like the IoT stuff nowadays which have potential but are handicapped by cloud BS and enshittification.

  • Its a lemmy alternative written in Flask (Python). Piefed has got more moderation features and is probably faster to develop being written in Python. Both lemmy and piefed can talk to Mastodon (and obv to each other too).

  • Not Sunshine but I personally use Ark. PeaZip has a lot more features (its like WinRAR but FOSS) but I don't need them and so I use Ark which is more focused. I still keep PeaZip around in case I ever need it.

  • Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

    I personally don't care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.

  • Id say just recommend Photon. It works well on both mobile and desktop. I love voyager but two very different uis is going to confuse new users.

  • One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.

    But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

  • I wonder when Ubuntu will make the shift. They are the only ones left on AppArmor at this point (tbf they have been maintaining it alone anyways).
