Rory Blank is one of my fav artists. As y’all are able, go find and support his Patreon!

+1 for StandardNotes. It’s been a wonderful product.

TL;DR use FF

Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.

So cool!

I suspect West is running as a protest vote against both parties, with a series of principles around his run focusing less into a platform and more into statement for consideration. The dude is a brilliant community organizer and thinker, but not a politician at heart.

I assumed a lot of folks would perceive his run in this way.

Ah! A Chilean vegan, I see.

The stage where I eat wings. Mmmm.

+1 For the Light Phone. Owned both their Kickstarter edition and their latest generation, and makes travel, camping, and more easy when I forward my calls/texts. Great battery life with still some creature comforts we have all gotten used to, smart phone wise.

Nice

Love me some Jitsi. The app, and website, make it easy to just start a secure, anonymous call with pals. No weird AI models running in the background like Teams or Zoom.

TrailSense, an easy to use, comprehensive wilderness tool.

The goals of the developer are fun to consider:

Goals

• Trail Sense must not use the Internet in any way, as I want the entire app usable when there is no Internet connection

• Features must provide some benefits to people using the app while hiking, in a survival situation, etc.

• Features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as guides

• Features must be based on peer-reviewed science or be verified against real world data

Likewise, the features being developed under those goals are great for getting outside:

Features

• Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
• Place beacons and navigate to them
• Follow paths
• Retrace your steps with backtrack
• Use a photo as a map
• Plan what to pack
• Be alerted before the sun sets
• Predict the weather
• Use your phone for astronomy
• And more

“We did the back-of-napkin math on what ramping up this experiment to the entire brain would cost, and the scale is impossibly large — 1.6 zettabytes of storage costing $50 billion and spanning 140 acres, making it the largest data center on the planet.”

Look at what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power.

AROOOOOO BROTHER I FEEL YA BECAUSE SOMETIMES I AM CRANKIN MY HOG IN THE GARAGE SO MUCH AND I JUST FORGET TO GROCERY SHOP

+1 for Netdata

Moody, grungy, honest with the light in received. Dig it.

This is :: chef’s kiss ::

I would highly consider leveraging the AsteroidOS project – a privacy-focused linux smart watch effort – on one of their approved devices. That link should bring you straight to the watches they support.

Pine Time works well with Pine Phone, but only has basic functionality with other Android devices, like notifications. Not much else last I looked, but I may be out of sync with the community’s development efforts.

The Bangle.js 2 smart watch is another open source device you could look into.

Dumb error messages like that have to do with the UI and UX. The user interface (UI) in APT has mostly to do with how easily users see, recognize, and understand descriptions of errors (that is, how text appears and is organized), and the user experience (UX) in APT has to do with how easily users can, say, follow-up, within the tool, to resolve those errors.

An example of a better UI in APT could be grouping to-be installed packages with clear linebreaks and color, or highlighting how much space is to be used by bolding it. All good stuff that isn’t gonna kill my eyes when I have to scroll around to find what was / wasn’t installed properly.

And that scrolling around is all about the UX. An example of a better UX could be installation bars rather than percentages to keep the screen from scrolling past errors too quickly, affordances for users to make decisions within APT to resolve dependency issues without it dropping back into the terminal (again, dumb error messages), or providing help within the interface without having to back out to the terminal and use APT with an operator.

I think it would be great to keep those error messages you mention, like, front-and-center, even after an operation has wrapped up. Who wants hunt/grep through a full log?
