izzyondroid is generally not meant to replace apps that are already provided in f-droid, unless there's a feature discrepancy or other reason to have it available in both repos.

Is this still centralized? Or can you self-host without needing a separate client instance for each host?

Thanks! I exported my data through this and it didn't take too long. Unfortunately this has the same issue as every other data export tool, in that it doesn't let you infer context in surrounding messages, it only saves yours. Als

This makes me wonder, are my old chats still around? Is there any tool to back them up? Skype played a major role in my life for a good while, which I'd want to preserve.

God I actually wish I could just focus on sleeping during winter instead of drudging on in the constant dark.

why bother infering such intent when the obvious answer - that they simply forgot about it with no ill intentions - is right there?

All you need to sidestep those laws is a little prompt that asks you if you're 18, you don't need to require a login. Unless you're talking about recent US laws.

This is the dream of any system's programmer. Also their demise...

yeah, you can't update an app with a different signature than the one you've currently installed, that's a feature of the OS.

Google isn't gonna build a ROM for waydroid so someone's going to have to make a build of Android, whom you'll have to trust. Google doesn't build ROMs for anything but their own phones. LineageOS is popular in this fiel

The reason I store 2FA codes in my password manager is as a protest to companies forcing me to have a 2FA. I don't want to be randomly locked out of my google account due to not having a usable 2FA, and I also don't want to depend

I know it sounds silly but vim controls surprisingly well on a touch keyboard. Not needing modifier keys nearly as often as other editors is a major blessing here.

From what I've heard surrounding this, GTK3 to GTK4 isn't as big of a jump as GTK2 to GTK3 was. The GTK3 port was finished first because there was already work in place for that, but we can expect a GTK4 port to be faster. That sa

a full copy of the slackware source code: fits in 10gb, contains a semi-curated set of applications and utilities for nearly any purpose, including their documentation, without trying to include everything . I throw this on any system I wa

I don't think the point of this is to get everything ever to work. Just getting well-behaved and free software apps to integrate better than with waydroid (by reimplementing a higher level of libraries, rather than running the entire O

The point of `pass` is to offload the security aspect to gpg, so unless something goes wrong with that, I don't believe continued use, even if unmaintained, is very insecure.

It's said in the same way as how the environment you grow up in shapes who you become, the internet being (one of) your primary environment(s) due to escapism or just amount of time spent in it.

I've been at companies where this was indeed the case.

My favourite shell environment for windows thus far is combining Git For Windows with scoop[1]. A simple "scoop install git" will get the environment installed, and give you a bash shell and full access to all sorts of windows-nat

This, corporate has been insisting on using ThreatLocker to block almost everything from running - Git For Windows is the only comfortable environment remaining, at least until I can convince them that this is stupid.

Is doing this really that unworkable nowadays? It wasn't even 10 years ago when I got into programming that every tutorial just started and ended with teching you how to do it manually...

This, I don't think open source can be properly characterised through the lens of capitalism. There will always be students, academics, and people who don't work in software at all, willing to try their hand at developing somethin

I think privacy and security are orthogonal, and I'm not convinced that GrapheneOS does a lot more than LineageOS isn't already doing for me in the privacy aspect - some of graphene's touted features are geared towards being

If you want to keep using alsa with applications that otherwise only work with pulseaudio, you can try apulse[1]. When I used to use it, it worked nicely, but I started using pulseaudio around the time of its most recent release, when I got

logind isn't really the worst of it, systemd has a tendency of usurping existing solutions into only working with the rest of systemd, instead of helping improve the ecosystem for everyone.

I fear this will have significant consequences on the youtube vs ublock war. A key component of how ublock prevailed is by devising mechanisms to push instant updates of the filter lists. Does the chrome web store allow timely updates, or w

The wiki is publically editable, I think your suggestion is great but you seem to have a good idea of how it could be done, would you be willing to take a stab?
