Very engaging read

Wooo friend was that a good read!

To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story

…it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?

Definitely the transition from QT5 to QT6. It Looks identical, but has better wayland support and performance.

There are also a few new and hot features which I can’t recount at the moment (it’s 4:30 in the morning), but the pointieststick blog should have the droids you’re searching for

Niceeeee! I’ve tested a few KF6 apps in a rawhide+nightly copr distrobox on Kinoite, and they’re quick

Aren’t most of those at best vulnerable as a leaf in the wind; and at worst literal hacker gateways to your home?

I watched the Sam O’Nella vid just now, and… I’m sorry he had that experience? I guess SM might be more shite abroad?

What’s up? In my household (in Norway) we’ve specifically sought out Swiss Miss for the past seven(?) years, because everything else (apart from home-made goodies!) tastes shite.

If I’ve lost out on something, lmk!

I’m working on free software to do real-time translation of speeches at conferences and such, from Norwegian to English or {insert language}.

Using Whisper and TTS on a server, and a web interface accessed on the participants’ smartphone/device.

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business

Real cool stuff! I have to ask, why is the project CC-BY-SA 4.0, which is suitable for free cultural expression (text, images, songs, etc) and not CERN-OHL-{P/W/S} which is more suitable for hardware designs?

I’ve also used a pinetime running infinitime for the past year, and I agree that it’s not exactly feature rich. I like it though.

I’ve heard that ‘bangle.js’ is an open source watch as well, with a decent feature set.

Great post! I’ve often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren’t that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.

I’ve been thinking of getting a hybrid inverter (rather than manually moving loads between grid power and inverter/solar power). How much did it set you back?

Interesting radio interview as well

Wayland support, would you look at that!

Was it rustdesk or some other popular open source remote desktop software that had “no plans of supporting wayland”? In any case, nice!

It should be mandatory for company to provide support for the lifetime of the implanted device. If they kick the bucket (the company, not the patient), mandatory open source. It’s not like the patent matters anymore once the company’s dead, right?
