Can we work on expanding existing fiber so most places get at least a single gig fiber first?
- The video is a return to the creator’s previous “Top 5 Linux Apps” monthly series, which was popular in the past.
- The first app highlighted is Boxy, a graphic design tool for creating SVG images and logos, with a user-friendly interface compared to more complex tools like Inkscape.
- The second app is Eyedropper, a color picker tool that works well in Wayland environments and allows users to get color codes in various formats.
- The third app is Iotas, a simple, GTK-based note-taking app with Nextcloud integration, focused on basic note-taking functionality without advanced features.
- The fourth app is Plexamp, an electron-based desktop music player that provides access to the user’s Plex music library.
- The fifth app is Sigil, a niche tool for editing metadata in eBook (EPUB) files, particularly useful for adding series information to support self-hosted ebook platforms like Calibre.
- The creator acknowledges that Sigil has some quirks, working better in KDE than GNOME environments.
- The creator encourages viewers to provide suggestions for future “Top 5 Linux Apps” videos in the comments.
- The creator provides links to their social media and support platforms, including Mastodon, Odyssey, and Patreon.
- The overall tone is one of enthusiasm for sharing useful Linux applications with the audience, while also acknowledging the niche nature of some of the recommendations.

21·5 months agoIt’s doomed to become a nazi bar…you can just go to an instance with admins you trust better or make your own instance
Ok, how is that different than Nostr? Don’t like your Lemmy instance admins rolling against your Nazi views? Join a different instance. Nazi sympathetic instance gets defederated by everyone else? Make your own instance.
But generally I’m not a fan of the stuff I’ve heard and read about the Nostr protocol so far.
Can you elaborate?
Other than Google pay…
Google Pay’s Tap to Pay does not work on GrapheneOS.
Startpage, which is still recommended over at privacyguides.org
For now. There is an open pull request to remove it due to Startpage fingerprinting users (I didn’t delve into it to see if it’s true, but that was the reason given). And just because it’s been suggested doesn’t mean it will be removed, so time will till.

So is bullshitting. More so, only human minds can bullshit.
And a bull’s anus.
Unfortunately the fact that NFC can’t be used on anything that’s rooted anymore is kind of a deal breaker.
NFC can be used on GOS, and they frown on rooting.
If I could use google pay and my normal banking apps with GrapheneOS I would switch to it today.
It’s due to PlayIntegrity API wanting a “Google certified OS,” which is ironically less secure than hardware attestation that GOS supports. I doubt Google would change their model, but your bank might. Some banks do support GOS, and they have changed at the request of their customers before. Send them the GOS documentation and you might get lucky.

I know that’s the point, which is why I said it. The person I replied to asked if they were missing something, so I was attempting to educate them on said point. Then they edited their post to add the /s after the fact.
Sounds to me like you need an upgrade. I tried Jerboa, but it felt like it always lagged behind or was buggy for some reason. Then I switched to Voyager, which gets constant updates. Also, it’s a PWA, so I don’t need an app and it can thus be used on mobile, tablet, desktop, etc. Not to mention the theming is one of the best, in my opinion.
The ending period? Not for me on Voyager.
Most browsers I run into, you can search from the address bar. You can also disable or point to a different search engine, if you want. So you could skip going to the site. That aside…most browsers would accept google.com and not need the full https://www
I say most anecdotally as I haven’t tested them all.
I don’t know, sounds reasonable chief.
They want to talk to everyone so they’re blocking someone/anyone? That does not sound logical. If that instance defederates, all that person has to do is just not use them as their home instance. They’re saying they want to talk to everyone, but they’re going out of their way to not do so (by blocking an instance, for whatever reason). Makes no sense to me.
Yes, you need an Internet connection at some point. This can be a cafe, a library, an office, your house, friend’s house, etc. As for controlled by the government, well, that depends on your country.
Worst case, if possible, you can move countries. I understand that might not be feasible, but my point is, you can move countries to escape the government and Internet restrictions. But the government locks your account/bank? Moving countries doesn’t fix that, and you’re locked out of any money you had there.
But even if I have a server, I’ll have to have my own separate Internet if I really want to be able to pay unrestrictedly.
Separate Internet? I mean, yes, you do need Internet. Not sure what you mean by “separate.” And you don’t need a server (node), though they are handy for privacy. You could choose one that is reputable.
Otherwise the government would just shut down my internet connection, right?
If they knew where it/your Internet was. All you really need is your phone or PC. You could use a cafe or library or cell tower or etc.
Nobody is doing that now, with regular money, either.
I think it’s more for ACH between banks as well as some banks have limits. Also, a government literally stepped in to actively block people’s accounts. Just because you can swipe your card and buy a soda, doesn’t mean there aren’t restrictions or people being blocked.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo

0·6 months agofive simultaneous logins…you and five of your friends…get the price down to $1 a month.
You (1) + 5 friends = 6, which is more than 5. So where does the extra dollar go and who doesn’t get to login?
This is not terribly new, and requires more investigation. One of the bugs appears to be due to Mullvad, other is potentially an Android bug.
That’s what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they’re not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That’s not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.
