My bad, v tired when I replied. That is an interesting feature the only similar solution I can think of is using something like Fossify Dialer (a fork of the now ad-ridden and proprietary Simple Dialer) and use T9 dialing. That could achieve a similar speed / memorization as a gesture.

You could definitely get good enough at T9 to at least call people without looking at the screen.

Just tried it and really enjoyed, but the contact sources just don’t seem to work? Two options, one from sms and one from com.android.contacts, and neither are correct (missing / duplicate contacts). Confused as to why the dialer can’t just pull from my contacts like every other dialer, or I’d probably switch!

I use fossify dialer, not familiar with Drupe, but works well for me.

+1

same concern as you, do any distros sell merch directly? I know the FSF for sure does.

Agreed, Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I’ve had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.

Chromebooks are even worse: “Instead of hampering user’s computers for safety, we’ll make a ‘computer’ that just launches our proprietary web apps!”

And even if the App Store was perfectly safe, keeping users safe via restricting basic functionality instead of increasing tech literacy is a backwards approach

The fact that letting users choose what software they’d like to install wasn’t seen as an fundamental part of a computer really highlights Apple’s backwards philosophy towards user experience.

It really is amazing for programming. I gave VS Code(ium) a chance as I hadnt used it in a while, and it feels like a frustrating black box compared to Emacs.

My favorite feature is Emacs being entirely self documenting, it makes it SO much easier to troubleshoot issues, make refinements, or just understand what’s going on in your environment.

Orginally I used Doom Emacs, but, although being wonderful to work in, wasn’t as easily understandable to me. I recommend anyone wanting to start an vanilla Emacs config starts here.

Exemplary youtube playlist by System Crafters that makes creating your emacs config from scratch not only more palatable, but arguably trivial. (At least up to the point he goes in the series).

GNU Emacs!

I agree, open source games are designed with fun in mind instead of attention grabbing garbage and ads.

ruTorrent makes rtorrent a lot more usable if you dont like the CLI.

This looks AWESOME. I really like the way the page looks, its in Rust, and the “Hardened-with-no-scripts” option.

SimpleX has worked great in my experience! Currently torn between SimpleX and XMPP.

I cannot recommend Siskin, as those in my life that have tried it have always experienced random issues. I find Monal to be a better experience in every way, except for the lack of calling support with Conversations.

6v6 -> 5v5 made the gameplay MUCH better. The new heroes weren’t disappointing at all, the game seemed like it was going in a good direction. I disagree on your last two points, and the first one is not relevant to what I said, as that was a major improvement to Overwatch. Too many barriers and abilities on the field in 6v6, and the switch to 5v5 immediately made the game more rewarding and fun.

The gameplay got a lot better when Overwatch 2 dropped, and then they just killed it with a lack of content, both multiplayer and story mode.

I have the same issue. What I do is use a VPN with a custom DNS (Only some providers allow this, and documentation is often unclear or inaccurate as to whether they do). Using NextDNS, I have ull control over my DNS, while also using a VPN. This setup + uBlock Origin has been flawless for me so far, and I have a similar setup on my PC.

I would look at something like TrackerControl, which is very customizable and runs as a “VPN” that simply filters out ads. This should achieve the same thing, especially in combination with either Brave browser or a Firefox-based browser with uBlock Origin.

Not in the default installation. From everything I can find, while you can root GrapheneOS, you shouldn’t. Source
