https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface makes most of the features “just work” in mainstream distros on these devices.

In the laptop that can also be a decent tablet sometimes space, the brand still does really well, though most people are probably fine with tablet that can be a decent laptop sometimes. Hopefully mobile linux projects like mobian and postmarketos allow the later idea have more than iOS and Android as viable options soon.

I wish they would have used X (formerly Twitter) in their article title as a departing annoyance to Elon.

Thanks!

While I’m all for more variety of PeerTube creators and those taking the time to boost great apps, I can’t say I myself enjoy the vlogging (or should I say podcasting/venting?) while streaming MineCraft genre. Maybe its a generational thing.

I do appreciate hearing how different viewpoints experience FOSS and there’re probably lessons to be learned about on-boarding this type of user, who is probably closer to the normal crest of people than I am.

Neat, cool to see these all-in-one native Android tools get so far.

I didn’t see a rss/atom feed on your blog, can you add one please?

Termux + CPU inference +llamacpp can get ~4B models running, even if slowly, on 5 year old flagship phones.

https://mwood77.github.io/ws4kp-international/ is the live of the international fork using Open Mateo

It’s kinda bland, but there are some neat creators there like this couple biking the world and documenting it on a pinephone running sxmo.

I’d like all these creators to be on PeerTube, but I get it hosting is daunting, and discovey in a centralized system is easier, so platforms line Odyssey. The crypto and free speech stuff attract a certain segment too, right or wrong. Their new effort to be a youtube front-end will put them in competition with invidious and similar too.

Agree. If only I could convince more of my friends to drop siloed socials and get fediverse accounts, I’d have a solution for that, but that’s not happening.

TIL about that option, thanks.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ is pretty awesome for getting human generated / small web content.

If I’m looking for people sharing my hyper-fixation https://aboutideasnow.com/ is excellent. https://searchmysite.net/ is a indieweb opti-in only tool with similar usecases but not much is there. Lemmy

https://www.mojeek.com/ I have as my default browser search to try to support as its the only real large index comparable to Google and Bing (DDG uses), but it falls short a lot.

DDG is my primary engine when I need something fast / the others don’t work.

If I can’t find it in the small web and regular search fails, I’ll sometimes try the udm14 Google trick https://udm14.com/

After that its posting to the askfedi hashtag (or ask here)

I forgot the LemmyWtf Peertube community had this directory of recommendations: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205

Outside of what others posted, here’s a quick list:

North American Urbanists: CanadianCivil has Paige Saunders, OhTheUrbanity, and Shifter. Urbanists.video has Heartland Urbanist

FOSS stuff: Penpot (foss figma, they have their own instance) Emacsconf (on Toobnix)

Fedi folks: Elena Rossini (on her own instance)

Fedi.video is a great place to discover other stuff outside of just using Sepia/in-app searching by what you’re looking for.

I wouldn’t mind age or “is a person” verification done with privacy protecting means, such as GNU Taler blind signed token solutions that are open source and audited by independent security teams, but that isn’t getting implemented. Instead every “verification” service is a literal privacy nightmare simultaneously linking identity to speech and harvesting user data for sale.

Non-EU parts of the world should be encouraged to have better data privacy laws as part of their trade deals with the EU.

It should be illegal to not allow unlocking the bootloader, but it is very common.

Looking at its Wikipedia entry, it looks like a reasonable alternative, I hadn’t looked into it before.

Have you had the chance to try it out?

The buy-me-a-coffee tip jar for the dev at the end is too reasonably placed.

Not reviewed in this eval:

• DeltaChat (though would likely score similar to Signal with more points for decentralization)
• IRC
• XMPP
• Lemmy/PieFed/Nodebb (if he’s going to include Discourse…)

Looks like its available as opt-in, but as part of their premium / ee not FOSS build. Bummer.
