I read somewhere they'd be releasing the list of witnesses on July 20th

 

What date and time is hearing and where can I watch it live?

There's also Skiff worth checking out for email. Their work is looking really good. They're still in an early development stage but from my testing, it looks good.

Their company is in the USA however.

I am not sure. I have yet to find a good FOSS Android torrent client. I have experienced annoying bugs and crashing with all them that I have tested and LibreTorrent seems to be the most stable.

Grilled cheese - American cheese is the only way i enjoy a grilled cheese. Also, Black Forest ham and American cheese sandwich with lettuce tomato and mayo on a baguette or other real tasting bread.

I have always lurked Reddit, I have never made an account. With Lemmy, I contribute instead of lurk as I feel I have a part to play in it's early growth for it to succeed. But that being said, I occasionally check the front page and a few specific subreddits but not quite as frequently since I joined Lemmy.

Oh, and when I do, I use LibReddit to view reddit, so nothing even official.

Oh! I got some great recommendations!

I use:

  • ViMusic for music (free, don't quote me but I believe it uses Spotify and YouTube APIs for music?)
  • OpenBoard for keyboard (I found a GitHub Fork that included swipe to text but can't remember the name - doesn't work great anyways)
  • Checkout LibreTube as an alternative to NewPipe
  • LibreTorrent for torrenting (kinda buggy sometimes but better than any other FOSS alternatives)
  • UntrackMe for redirecting site links to privacy-friendly frontends (YouTube->Piped, Reddit->libreddit, etc)
  • Quillnote for notes (its simply the best, I have tried a lot of other note apps)
  • Checkout Magic Earth (it's not FOSS but it takes a strong stance on privacy and uses OpenStreetMaps)
  • Trusty ol' VLC Media Player
 

Do you think we will ever see support for Android Auto? It's my understanding it requires elevated permissions to function, but I wonder if there is a way to have a working sand boxed implementation.

I contribute where I can, nothing significant.

However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can't use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.

I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don't have my iPhone with me.

Favorite? Hm... I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.

If I won the lottery I'd donate to these projects or their respective foundations.

Great, more bots... Did they fix the horrible bot problem? I haven't played in 6+ months due to this.

There's a reason big tech companies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars yet most of their users have not paid a dime. So yes, data is valuable.

Data is very valuable. Google shows advertisements like they're listening to people's conversations, except they aren't. Their data profiles and predictions are so good they know what you want to buy before you even know you want to buy it.

Search the Cambridge Analytica scandal.. I am not grossly over estimating anything.

AI training and data mining. The value of data has surpassed the value of oil long ago. The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil.

 

I am planning on purchasing a T490 with the intention of installing Ventura on it as there is quite a few issues with my current Thinkpad and it's time for an upgrade.

I am glad to see that there is a few GitHub repos for it but I am wondering if there is anything I am overlooking before planning to purchase it and possibly upgrade some components. I am quite new to hackintosh builds having only ever done one before, for a friend.

Do you think I would have issues if I upgraded the display to or bought one with a WQHD display (2560x1440)?

Am I right to opt for the model without dedicated Nvidia graphics?

Am I okay to believe all the T490 I7 processors compatible?

From what I read I would have to replace the Samsung NVMe M.2 as its not supported, that's OK.

I am thinking 16-32GB of RAM, budget dependent.

I would appreciate any input, suggestions or recommendations before pulling the trigger.

Surprising to myself, I have been a Linux user for over 12 years...

Through the many years I have bounced between and tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Parrot OS, Linux Mint, Manjaro. I have tried Gnome, Cinnamon, XFCE, KDE, Mate, Deepin. And more. I have 3 computers, all using a Linux distro right now.

I love the idea of Linux - free, free as in freedom, free of telemetry. And well, I thought I would never entertain the idea of switching, here I am today, strongly considering Mac OS.

Lately, I have become extremely frustrated and tired of dealing with little bugs, crashes, versions, and dependencies. Not to mention notable UI issues. It is starting to hamper my productivity when working.

Right now I am using Ubuntu and I cannot drag and drop into VS Code from Nautilus, I can't drag and drop from the default archive manager, I am experiencing screen tearing issues, one piece of software I use crashes often but not Debian and vice versa, I have to manually reset screen brightness when it dims after timeout, etc. I have experienced issues of similar nature across all distros I have used and I am becoming burnt out.

I think part of the issue is that there is a huge variety of Linux distros, different combinations of kernels, desktop environments, window managers, package managers, file managers, network managers, etc... Not to mention devices. There is too many variables, and too many projects to maintain.

Sorry for the rant, I have seen many similar posts, but I have been using Linux for over 12 years, powering through, ignoring and working around these issues and I am pretty fed up.

While I am conflicted, I am thinking Mac OS looks like a good middle ground.

Any suggestions? What has been the most stable distro and compatible for you?
