My server’s uptime is roughly the time between two kernel updates. On my desktop PC it’s mostly 4-10 hours depending on what I do during the day.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍

only 60 Hz 1080p displays

Of for fucks sake! it’s almost 2026! Why do NEW devices still being released with such heavily outdated low quality displays?

Good to see major DEs finally switching to Wayland.

So wild that Facebook still is a thing.

Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.

I’ve seen someone with a pool noodle sticking off the side of their bike at the minimum passing distance for cars.

A better and less passive-aggressive solution to make cars pass at the minimum distance is psychology.

If you ride your bike on the outer right part of the road, car drivers tend to squeeze trough on the same lane because the center line also is a “psychological barrier” they do not want to cross. And “since there is enough space on my lane, I stay in my lane”.

The solution here is simple: Do not drive on the outer part of the road. Imagine you’re in a car on the passenger seat. Ride your bike where you would sit in relation to the road. You’re still on the right side of the right lane but this gives not enough space to squeeze through, and when not being able to squeeze through, drivers tend to properly use the opposite lane for passing by.

How generous of them that we’re allowed to install software on our mobile computers that we own.

The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

Imagine Microsoft forcing all application developers to send them their ID for approval before users are allowed to install their application on Windows.

Sounds absurd, right?

But Google doing the exact same thing on Android? I wonder how this is not downright illegal. Why is there even a discussion about this?

The correct term is “installing” btw. Not “sideloading”. “Sideloading” is corporate speech for framing the installation of applications outside their walled garden as something shady/illegal/questionable.

You wouldn’t call it “sideloading” when installing an application on your desktop or laptop computer, why call it “sideloading” when installing an application on your pocket computer?

1. Does this mean sideloading is going away on Android?

No, but we have to approve it.

FTFY.

Pioneer looks so good now. I checked it out a few years ago, but damn, that has changed.

Let me introduce you to UY Scuti.

This is another reason for not using corporate owned social media

FreeCAD: Pros: free, open source. Cons: workflow as rough as sandpaper, constantly crashes.

It has a learning curve (like all software), yes. But I cannot confirm the crashes.

That flexibility locks a few key features behind a paywall, including: …

…

• High-resolution monitoring: Connect a Sony Xperia phone to your camera with a USB Type-C cable to use the phone as an external display.
• Snapshot: Save monitored footage as a snapshot along with shooting data.
• Cropping and framing: Subscribers get up to 10 presets instead of just 2.
• Multi-camera monitoring: Free and Basic (subscription) users can monitor up to 4 cameras, but you’ll need a Basic or Premium subscription (with support for up to 20 cameras) if you want to change settings on all cameras simultaneously.

Some users have reported that they can still sideload Sony’s older (and now discontinued) External Monitor app on the Xperia 1 VII and other phones in order to use their mobile phones as camera displays without paying for a subscription. But it’s unclear how long this will continue to work. And since Sony is no longer updating that application, users will miss out on any new features or bug fixes.

• Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
• Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.

Thanks! I just prefer simple UIs.
