I've used my past several Android phones without signing into a Google account or using gapps. I pick something with LineageOS support (usually OnePlus stuff) and get it from eBay, update to latest stock firmware (gets newer baseband a

Have you written anything about setting this up somewhere?

Something with a more normal way of updating the packages and OS would be nice. I thought I'd heard someone was working on an Alpine-based thing a few years ago, but haven't heard anything since.

Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Things would be even worse if people didn't care about blobs.

Seconding all this. Ever since I had weird problems with the vendor firmware on a router, I just pick hardware I can put OpenWrt on right away. Works great.

Fedi is different because it isn't proprietary or centralized. A new proprietary and/or centralized alternative is never the answer. That's just buying time. Personally I am not a fan of the Mastodon software or side of fedi,

In IRC you'd just paste the relevant message or part of a message you're replying to after a greater than sign and then post your thought in the following message. Works totally fine. I have used IRC, XMPP, and Matrix to chat with

If the timing is consistent, maybe ffmpeg can trim the first n seconds off all the files.

To give a contrasting viewpoint, I don't think you need to change your per-program keybinds. I've used vim with qwerty, dvorak, and Workman. I never rebound hjkl or anything else. The letters are in another spot, which you have to

People make this argument a lot, but you should optimize for the most common situation before an edge case. I am usually at my own PC/keyboard and I greatly enjoy my weird keyboard and layout. I can't type qwerty as well as I used

The Workman layout (much newer, to be fair) "solves" this. Right hand homerow is NEOI, with U on the top row and pressed by the middle finger. I've been using Workman for a few years and would recommend it. I used Dvorak for

On Windows you can rename with F2, and on macOS, Command-Down will work like enter does on Windows (I think of it like going down a directory, since up does the opposite, though it also will launch a file).

ANSI vs ISO, there's qwerty ISO as well. There was a bigger enter key on older ANSI keyboards as well, they just shrank it at some point. Or so I thought. The backwards L key I had in mind is apparently a mix of the two. I just associa

Enter and Numpad Enter are still distinct in QMK, and possibly some video game keybinds (just as numrow and numpad numbers can be recognized separately). Comparable to the left/right versions of ctrl, alt, super, and shift, I suppose.

I have never encountered a non-HiDPI setup where non-bitmap fonts looked especially different or good, so I don't think my OS[1] is relevant. If you look at screenshots of classic Mac OS it has a beautiful timeless look to the fonts, t

It was kind of a double-meaning. Non-bitmap fonts really are blurry, comparatively. AFAICT the non-bitmap fonts just hide this thanks to people using HiDPI displays now, which is basically like saying "well, it looks fine from far away

Do people actually like that kind of thing? mailto links always do a thing I don't want and obscure the actual address I could otherwise copy/paste. I feel similarly about matrix.to links. In the worst case it does nothing or open

Thank you. I've been telling people this for years and mostly get treated like I'm crazy or told to try other browsers, but browsers are pretty personal and lived-in, I consider it quite uncomfortable to use a different one even t

This reminds me, I wanted the class of device that an iPod Touch falls into to be called "nano tablets" for a while in the early 2010s. It bugged me that it was basically a "phone" without the phone part. I hate to think

I can never seem to tell fonts apart or appreciate them unless they're bitmap fonts. I love a sharp, crisp, clean font. I can tell apart Terminus, Tewi, and Lemon. Everything else just falls into a blurry "other" category, it

Worked on my OnePlus 8T running LineageOS with no gapps and using Fennec F-Droid for the browser. Could you have a useragent or extension[1] it didn't like? I know that on my PC, GNOME's Gitlab specifically required me to change m

I think once you start trying to use the occasional macro and/or make custom keybinds it pushes you further into the vim golf mindset. When you're saving an action to be repeated 100 times you really gotta get it right. I learned

Are you sure? IIRC :x only writes the file again if there's a change where :w(q) always writes again (which takes longer when editing a remote file via scp://). For a non-exiting version of :x there is :up. I bound :up to &lt

Are you aware of the PinePhone and Librem 5? As others have said, it's already been tried. I bought a PinePhone, and after a few too many show-stopping issues (not being able to receive a call for a scheduled job interview was the last
