I’m using Swing music. It has nice webui and native android app

I didn’t like any native music player and e book reader available on Linux… So setup waydroid for Symphony and Moon reader And using it on surface pro 6 is quite a nice experience. But I wished they could update to newer Android version.

I had Ben from Ben 10 mostly as xlr8 or heatblast if need flight. Picking up powerups like milestone or postbox… Lol

There was a change few updates back on how new tab works. I believe you are looking for this github issue

Go to about://config > search for zen.urlbar.replace-newtab and make it false

I know that extensions are mostly written in js, but why codebase? Any legacy reason I wonder?

That statement made me happy and sad at same time

That’s just boiling water with extra steps

As an Android developer and as an user, I would prefer a standard and tested set of rules rather than reinventing everything. I know everyone have different taste, but I would trust an expert (someone who designed and defined Material rules) rather than my own judgement. Don’t have an eye of a designer

The Hidden Brain explores the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.

Invisibilia Unseeable forces control human behavior and shape our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Invisibilia—Latin for invisible things—fuses narrative storytelling with science that will make you see your own life differently.

How to Fix the Internet It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology’s impact on our lives and our futures — from tracking-based surveillance capitalism to street level government surveillance to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation to the growing pressure by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say — the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building a better future. That’s where our podcast comes in.

Symphony github link It has nice UI, very polished and have folder view and lyrics support But there’s a major catch, unlike other players, you will need to keep the app open in background

Gramophone github link Also have a nice ui, but not very polished. Absolutely usable. Have folder view and lyrics support

Working for a certain big fucking corpo(that I utterly hate from bottom of my heart but don’t really have an option to leave), I see those patterns all over the product. Not just that, its practically impossible for non tech savvy to choose a non bundled or cheaper product or plan because it’s burried somewhere out of your sight

I use input leap and it works flowlessly with Wayland. One PC has KDE and another GNOME 47. Even through tailscale tunnel

I see what you did there

I remember listening this song but didn’t know there’s no official version available. That’s kind of… Odd because it’s quite a well known song

Thank you. I will try these. Have you tried PostmarketOS or have any idea how it works on surface?

Quote of the day:

“Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it.”

That really explains my first day.

I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).

Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn’t manage to make the back camera work.

WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven’t looked much into that)

Downsides

Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn’t support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.

And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn’t had good xp with OSK.

But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader
