Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

Oh, snapdrop is back? The site has been unreachable for years to me

If you only need roughly the same layout, you are able to replicate it without too much programming skills with the open source AnySoftKeyboard. Just fork it and create your own board. If you need assistance, I’m glad to give you a bit of help.

Klingt nach einer durchaus coolen Möglichkeit, unabhängig von globalen Lieferketten oder kontrovers gewonnenen Rohstoffen günstig und im großen Stil, ohne größeren Gegenwind einer skeptischen deutschen Bevölkerung, Energie schnell zu speichern und wieder abzugeben.

I guess, the browser is kind of the replacement for the OS in OP’s case, which is again, a nonfree OS/browser.

AFAIK macOS doesn’t care if you add another partition in diskutil and install Linux on that through the usual live ISO’s. But please make sure you:

• Don’t delete your main OS (make a Backup!)
• Install Linux with (U)EFI compatibility
• Don’t touch any recovery partitions
  • Don’t mess with the Mac’s EFI/ESP partition

Answering the question you meant to ask, blueray is a physica… just kidding.

LocalSend is basically like bluetooth file sharing over WiFi. Bluetooth, especially the fallback 2.0 is notoriously slow and short ranged. The situation got better with BLE, 5.0 and Long Range. Still, both devices need to speak BT. Ap*le’s iOS is well known to ignore BT file sharing capabilities while implementing own proprietary solutions. On desktop, the situation is still bad. I once tried to send a file between two Windows machines via BT, and it was a horrible user experience. LocalSend (and similar) fix this by implementing cross platform apps and using readily available API’s to share files with few clicks and reasonably high speed between a plethora of devices. I guess, if you don’t have the aforementioned problems, you won’t need LocalSend et al.

Really great software. Works like a charm most of the time, the apps are quite okay, sends files locally. The first low-barrier solution to share stuff between wildly different devices since e-mail.

I don’t want any damn vegetables mail accounts.

Did you try Adobe InDesign, and how did it fail you? I believe it’s the absolute industry standard for doing any layout stuff, which creating presentations essentially is.

EDIT: Alright, I see. No linux counterpart.

more like intentionally installed malware but yes, 100 % this

wait, what? I’ve had a GIMP 2.x for at least 15 years now. they can’t just… increase the number?? it’s part of the program’s name now

TL;DR: They released some bug fixes.

[Completely unrelated to the content] How the heck is this post managing to crash two out of my three lemmy clients?

AFAIK if you buy any computer from within the last 20 years, there’s a good chance you can get a 6.X Kernel running on it. 32-bit support is fading out, though. If you buy a 64-bit computer, you’ll be able (with sufficient RAM and hard disk space) to install any modern distro on it.

Semms like damn good news in a way

There’s a hackable smart watch. It’s got a screen and might not be usable for you for any productivity. Completely open source, as it seems. Called bangle.js 2, not too expensive so you might give it a shot?

Ich wäre nun ganz pragmatisch und würde mir das Zeug wortwörtlich selbst mischen. Die Rohstoffe gibt’s für nen Appel und nen Ei.

Das Aufwendigste ist das Berechnen der Mengen und des osmotischen Drucks. Willst du halt xy mg Magnesium in einem Liter haben, löst du xy Brausetabletten drin auf und füllst den Rest des Getränks bis zum passenden Druck mit Kochsalz und Zucker auf.

really nice, and very reasonably priced add ons. Not like the compania with the big A charging 25 bucks for a camera cable adapter or something

I’m irritated that they’re making it especially hard for small and low budget applications. AFAIK they are what made Unity popular in the first place?

Guess the big studios need more competitive pricing because they will just switch to another engine or build their own if Unity’s price model turns out to be too high for them. Small devs won’t be able to switch around too much, on the other hand.
