These days they could package it as a Flatpak and cover a lot of distros with out a lot of duplicate work. I mostly use Flatpak for those types of apps these days.

There is quite a lot of hacking possible on the RM1 and RM2 at least. This repo has a nice overview over the many projects: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

I can access my RM2 with SSH via WiFi or USB-C, if that's what you mean. But the official reMarkable client is not available for Linux, which I find a bit odd, since it is a Qt-app and the founder of the company apparently is an avid l

This is why I go with Fedora Silverblue for my elderly family. When they had Windows installed, most support calls was about crazy and confusing full screen pop ups and forced upgrades. With a stable disto, everything just works and keeps u

Digestion can affect your sleep quality, so having 1-3 hours between your last meal and sleeping is beneficial. There is reasearch on this, but I'm on my phone and to lazy to look it up atm :)

This is the way. Ghost is doing the same, as well as Wordpress. I love to be able to follow this and that around the web in one feed, and being able to boost it and participate in the conversation. The walls in the gardens are being torn do

If you're willing to switch browsers, Firefox has this option built in. It flushes all cookies on exit, except from domains in the whitelist. Been using it for years!

This law exists in the region where Google is building their new datacenters. New buildings are required to produce energy with solar on their roofs. When Google presented their plans and took questions from the local government, a local po

I worry about the explosive growth of new datacenters. It is only partially driven by AI, the trend started long before ChatGPT entered the scene. Where I live, Google is building a huge 860 MW hyperscale datacenter that will require massiv

Anytype is such a tool, local-first and synced via IPFS. It just works. And it's so flexible! And it recently got support for shared spaces, which works really well.

If you have self discipline like a god, you could achieve this with any smartphone. Remove every app, just install Signal and keep the camera app. But almost no one has the willpower to do this, unfortunately.

The endless content available on the internet is a time sink on a regular desktop computer, more so on a laptop – but paired with a smartphone, this time sink is suddenly available all the time! There is no friction. It quickly becomes a

I have used this method for years and it has not changed at all in that time period. I put all my bookmarks in one folder, no hierarchy, and add the tags that is on the top of my head, and move on. I save new bookmarks several times a day a

Firefox is actually decent for retrieving taged links, you just type * in the address field and it will only show you results from your bookmarks. It has become my second brain. I have written more about my use of the built-in bookmark mana

I thoroughly enjoy shifting through the 1000's of CD in the many thrift shops in my town, hunting for nostalgia from the 90's and early 2000's! I have also discovered some 'new' music this way. Initially I started r

Oh, and for screen sharing for support, I use the built-in Remote Desktop functionality (RDP). I have set up a Wireguard connection from the laptop to my home network which makes it possible for me to jump at any time in without 'grand

Signal has some advantages over WhatsApp, namely that you can install the app on more devices (including computers) at the same time, which has been a convincing argument for some of my friends. They hate how WhatsApp is locked to your phon

Linux (in my case Fedora) has been fantastic, especially for the non-techs who have not gotten used to Windows or a Mac! All they need is a browser (with adblock) and maybe a simple word processor. Fedora does not nag about updates, it just

Yeah, this used to be a problem, but it has been working fine since Fedora 39. I can share a single window or the whole screen with the video conferencing tools I'm using, mainly Signal, sometimes Google Meet, Teams (both in Firefox ru

This has already been done recently in (at least) Norway an the Netherlands. No phones in class. My SO is a teacher and she reports less distraction in class, although it is still early days.

These fullscreen messages are so confusing to elderly people, most of my support calls from family and friends are related to the weird and unpredictable updates and invasive popups, or the consequences from these. I have slowly been moving

The network effect js real, but I have managed to move some groups to Signal. But you need to spend some social capital convincing people to make the move.

We need to make bookmarks a common way to access the web again! So many people use Google or other search engines to access even the most basic sites, instead of storing a bookmark or typing out the whole URL. I have used a simple bookmarki
