I love that Heliboard is so simple, it feels like a properly developed keyboard without poorly implemented gimmicks.

Also regarding language, I have a great time being able to swap between English and (my very poor) Russian.

Yes but as the other commenter related, semi-improper (Ex. 15min instead of 15 min) or in my case, not having to go searching for a degree sign when I just want a quick conversion. If nearly ever search engine and other assistants can understand without it being proper, I should at least be able to introduce a custom conversion if Kvaetsitso can’t.

I really love Kvaesitso but I wish I could adjust the unit conversions. Im so used to entering a query lkke “15c to f” which works in search engines and Apple’s spotlight search buy Kvaesitso doesn’t work with that.

Its only “Navigation” apps though, media and messaging apps work just fine in Android Auto from another source or sideloaded.

I’m not sure what exactly the previous commenter said but map apps in particular only show up if installed through the Play Store. I found that out after trying to get Organic Maps working through F-Droid and Aurora Store. If you’re rooted you can change the app’s ‘installed from’ field to the Play Store and it will show up.

For a TV that can be set up as a ‘dumb tv’ and you can even reject the terms and conditions: Hisense surprisingly.

My partner got one a month ago and it was stupid simple to set up and asks you if you want to set up as a Smart TV or as a Basic TV.

Also ditch the Roku, that’s absolutely just as bad as using the onboard smart tv functions. Theres NVidia Shield, Apple TV, or with a little setup a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.

My partner and I were gratefully surprised when we bought a cheap Hisense for their cozy space (to isolate when overstimulated and just play some games) that in the setup it offers the option for a ‘dumb TV’ mode with no requirement for internet. In addition you can reject the user agreements and still use the TV. It boots straight to HDMI, no pop up ads, and is snappy.

Many distros nowadays have decent support forngaming accessories and a mix of Lutris and Steam/Proton have given me a near seemless experience on Linux. Smooth enough for my partner to hop ship to Bazzite for their ROG Ally.

Sometimes there are small quirks, like controllers on Bazzite just work™ but on Vanilla OS 2 my xbox controller wouldn’t be recognized by Steam or games wirelessly (wired worked) but my DS5 controller worked flawlessly (including the trackpad that I never got to work on Windows).

Most of the Steam library will work well and ProtonDB is a great resource for compatibility. Furthermore there are Decky plugins for setups like Bazzite and Chimera that embed the ProtonDB rating into the Steam game page.

So mostly I try to get my music from Bandcamp, artists’ websites, or iTunes. With these methods I don’t have to correct any info through Kid3 and normally have the correct album art for Navidrome.

If they don’t have an option to purchase their music I’ll use soulseek or yt-dlp to download it. That’s normally for obscure artists, music that can’t be sold due to Copyrights, or sanctioned countries (for example Russian musicians).

I’ve found that self-hosting my music has helped me slow down my music consumption and be more picky about what I listen to. I’ve also found good quality applications such as Feishen (macOS), play:Sub (iOS), and Symfonium (Android).

I’ll check it out when it publicly releases, but I doubt it’ll replace FairEmail for me tbh.

I’m still newish to gaming on Linux but from what I’ve heard Nvidia drivers are hit or miss but much better then they used to be. AMD graphics are well supported and using a mix of Proton though Steam and Wine I haven’t really had any issues with games. I have an ROG Ally running Bazzite and a gaming PC running Vanilla OS 2, both do just fine. Additionally hosting game servers on my Debian server has been fine as well.

If you’re on the fence I’d recommend installing on a separate drive and giving it a try.

Damn, I’m going to miss those messages one day on my Debian stable server.

Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

Meshtastic has the mesh capabilities that others have mentioned but what’s more immediately important is the ability to direct message others (no need to send private messages to everyone in range) and the ability to share GPS coordinates which is absolutely helpful in an emergency.

As someone who dailies a trackball, mouse, and trackpad: it depends on the setup. Trackpad is nice for when I’m on my laptop with just one screen. Mouse is nice with two high resolution displays and gaming. And at work I exclusively use a trackball across a triple monitor setup.

I mean, I can see why it’s brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.

Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.

And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.

Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.

Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I’m in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I’m keeping that information off Signal.

Could you please not disparage an entire language and ethnic group? There’s an entire grocery list of things you could insult Musk about, even while including Putin, to not bring the Russian language into it.

They’re probably referring to nyaa si which normally has either decent webrips, Bluray rips once the show is released physically, and at times with list 3840p shows.

Comments section is kind of more to do with the specific torrent though.

I just want to be able to input an address and it actually take me there and not just give the whole road. I don’t care much for lacking traffic data but I want to at least get directions.

I understand I can search for locations but that doesn’t work for houses, unlisted businesses (recently had an issue trying to local a local clinic that we were given the address for), or many trailheads.
