I remember the shared storage location functionality in the Password Store app but I no longer see it in any versions released since last year. That's why I had to switch to Termux. Also a control freak, just a different kind 😅
Are there mechanisms for fully automatic synchronization on every file change and every initialization in the Android and console apps for password-store out of the box these days? Using Syncthing with password-store at the moment to get a user experience as close to that as possible. Had to switch from the Android app to Termux and the CLI because the app no longer supports usage with Syncthing.
Yay to the arrow brush! Feels weird to draw arrows beginning with the end, but I'm very glad to see this feature as a GIMP built-in now. Should make annotating screenshots much more convenient.
It'd be cool if your app was installable from F-Droid, for which the sources have to be somewhere under a free license. I most likely won't be able to contribute code but would indeed like to look through the sources, and maybe help with translation if the code supports internationalization.
Do some parts of go-notes have proprietary sources? I can't find the source for the native Android client in the repo or instructions on how to download and build it from elsewhere.
BTW the demand for bigger screens and bigger resolutions is something I don't easily understand. I notice some difference between 1366x768 and 1920x1080 on a desktop, but the difference from further increase is of so little use for me I'd classify it as a form of bloat. If anything, I now habitually switch to downloading 480p and 720p instead of higher definition by default because it saves me traffic and battery power, and fits much more on a single disk easy to back up.
A true AGI also might simply not want to be a programmer or engineer, or might want to work on niche, single-developer projects interesting for them but not of use to wider humanity, like many actual developers do once their $dayjob is over. I can imagine they'll also be annoyed by slop machine users creating extra boring work for them to shovel through and AI bros getting creepy with them or trying to subordinate them to own wishes.
Have you tried adding Tor hidden services? It was the easiest solution for me to expose ports from behind the provider's NAT to my phone when not at home.
Corollary from the article: if every major distro uses Red Hat tech, it's a sign that there's a lack of funding from other sources for the core OS development. The goal of an "EU OS" project should be to identify and push forward the yet-unexplored or resource-lacking areas of such development, with EU funds. To be a friendly competitor and collaborator to Red Hat. Not to rebrand whatever distro for local usage.
Many thanks for such a detailed answer. I agree that blocs and federations are a good thing, and hope to see Asian, South-Eastern Asian, African, and South-American alliances similar to EU form around democratic values. I also hope that they don't turn into rival fortresses with armed borders and migration restrictions between them. As someone from former USSR (Ukraine), I'm quite sure that Russia on its own, without Chinese government assistance, especially technologic, wouldn't at their current economic state be able to wage war and suppress internal movements to democratize and/or truly federalize (in the North, particularly); but I read, admittedly not extensively, about Chinese history and recognize how dangerous it is not to have strong allies when empires are nearby - without strong allies, it's a must to have mostly autarkic production and strength in numbers.
Since you're Chinese American, I have a question that's doubly offensive but I'm actually interested in hearing your opinion. Should borders the size of China and the U.S. continue to exist at all? IMO one president or central government can't legitimately represent hundreds of millions of people.
There are a few websites dedicated to translating free software: Hosted Weblate (by Weblate developers), Codeberg Translate (independent), GNOME's Damned Lies, KDE Localization, and GNU Translation Project, each hosting many apps and components that publish translatable sources in a standard way (such as Gettext PO files) and have continuous integration pulling back the work of translators. Weblate instances are somewhat of a wiki-like wild West, with enthusiasts translating many projects at once; they could use help with proofreading - if you notice a mistake in the software you use and it happens to be on Weblate, it's easy to sign in and fix it.
How does btop compare against a GTK+ task manager in terms of memory usage when you include the terminal emulator in the btop count? It'd be a more technically correct comparison that way.
Yes, setting up YunoHost on a new Debian VPS was a couple of commands, and having it install Synapse and Element was a few clicks in the UI plus a lot of waiting.
However. I thought of Element as an alternative to Slack or Telegram the way OP thinks of it as an alternative to Discord. I was wrong. Element competes with IRC. This is the only platform from which I've seen actual groups of people (FOSS projects) switch to Matrix. I think Matrix focuses on different usage needs than Discord, and trying it with willing Discord users will be an interesting exercise in seeing what perspectives they bring and what issues that raise, but the solution to their problem will be somewhere outside Matrix, and it will be in somewhat distant future, not with the current state of FOSS tools.
It doesn't seem any money that the sudo developer had received was redirected to systemd, even though systemd has its own sudo called run0, with interesting features such as limiting the amount of memory or CPU a command it runs can use. His employer supported sudo as his side project while he was employed to work on something else. The funding from big tech is instead going to the Rust rewrite, sudo-rs and other projects of its community.
