You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Universal Android Debloater.

It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

FWIW, I’ve been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I’m using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

Never heard of it but will check it out, thanks!

Interesting. To me, the calendar app is one of the most important apps I have (it’s fully FOSS though. Connected through DavX5 with a Caldav server to sync to my desktop/Thunderbird, no Google involvement)

Tails I think

Let’s be real, when some shitty company (MS) gets around to it, it will be: ☁️⬆️

Yep. They changed her pretty drastically from the way she is in the books (which was probably a good idea), but way, WAY overcorrected. I also don’t really like the actor for the role, but that is secondary.

Fair. Don’t take this as pressure to watch this. But for what it’s worth, “Harry Potter but horny” is exactly what I grew tired of after S1, and they drop that hook pretty thoroughly.

S2-5 is more like “there’s no such thing as a chosen one. We’re all just fucked up in different ways, and the only way to get meaningful change done is if we try to be better, together - regardless of if we ever manage to grow past that damage”.

Except Alice. Fuck Alice, she never not sucks.

The Magicians? Do yourself a favor and continue on (well… Depending on where you stopped, I guess.) To me, Season 1 is a difficult sell. It’s all over the place, and some of the characters are… Not super likeable, ahem. Season 2 gets much better, and season 3+ are my favorite seasons of television, ever.

Almost 9k lunes of python in a bash script. Lmao. No.

nixpkgs is the largest repo, period.

Extremely ergonomic terminal music player.

Don’t forget the almighty:

journalctl -fu <servicename>

And yes, I am always reading that as “fuck you, service”.

Yeah, but unfortunately, the keyboard does not look promising.

I’m sure we will get there, eventually. Just an uphill battle… As always.

Hardware wise, we’re basically there. Especially since there’s multiple recently-ist mainstream phones on which you can install Linux.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software
