Second recommendation for RHvoice, organic maps uses whatever your system tts is for its turn by turn verbal directions and I was curious if there was a good open source option, RH voice seemed decent in my time with it (switched phones and haven’t set things back up)

Thanks for the link :)

Congrats to you and any other repair loving European friends who can now get the laptop you want ☺️

I went with AMD cause the old display and camera version was discounted

Brings back vivid memories of riding the subway and being crammed into a blender.

A reference I expect like no one to get 😅

Ahhh, gotcha! I don’t participate super actively so I wasn’t aware, I assumed it had something to do with current events in Israel/Palestine or Ukraine

Thanks for filling me in ☺️

Some context on what the relationship between war and osm, and what the logo is for would be nice :)

Dude… Thats the fuckin coolest shit ever

Fair honestly, I’m more or less in the same boat 😅

I was really enjoying learning how to try and set up void, but I really like having access to a graphical app store thats easy to browse 😢 someday I’ll have to revisit it

Babe, what if we kissed in front of the rainbow IBM ASCII art while gentoo boots? 😳 👉👈

Ayyyy, that’s dope!

They said in the video that the resolution was specifically picked for 2x scaling to avoid fractional scaling for linux users :)

I’m just excited the ryzen laptop I was JUST about to order got a 6% discount!

The logo colors makes it look like its from framework lol

A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.

I don’t like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome

Allowing a country’s political party to position their industry in a monopolistic way is a bad idea. When one group controls an industry they much more easily exploit their consumers. Encouraging folks to buy ev’s in general is different from undercutting prices to create a dominant position in the market that can be exploited once you have no meaningful competitors

That being said, we all know thats not why they’re doing it, they’re doing it to protect the interests of US auto makers, which also sucks

That sucks, I’m really sorry man :(

Dude that sounds rad! Thanks for mentioning them and explaining what they are, I’ll have to check that out!

What is radio free fedi?

Not the person you replied to, but to my eye it feels unnecessarily complicated and confusing. The organization of info could be simpler, and the card that pulls up partially in front of the list of entries seems unnecessarily confusing and always feels like it defies my expectations of how I should be able to interact with it.

Droid-ify has almost all of the same functionality and info displayed, but is an infinitely simpler layout, and a lot easier for me to parse. I don’t have to spend time trying to interpret the ui, figure out what’s where, and understand what I’m looking at

I don’t think something like duckduckgo is gonna be the eventual contender to take on google. I think it’ll have to be an engine with its own index or some kind of lateral solution.

Something like brave, kagi, qwant, or stract could maybe turn into something exciting with more momentum, but honestly I have a hard time seeing them be the kind of scrappy competitor with a new approach that unseats the old king who has lost their way in pursuit of more profit at the expense of product quality. None of them seem like they truly have a new approach, but only time will tell how that story plays out this time.
