Matrix does have stickers

As others have said, you can completely disable the stock launcher through ADB commands. At that point, if you hit home, you’ll be asked which app to perform that action with. Select your launcher, click “Always”, and done.

Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.

But that wall clock is glorious. It’s a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you’re cooking.

I’m currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I’ll have to find an alternative for this clock

Did someone say Gemini?

For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:

• doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don’t want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
• things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren’t worth automating because they won’t come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)

Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.

Maybe. But there are third options as well - maybe if Adobe acts like you describe, and there is sufficient Linux adoption, that opens the door for an actual crossplatform competitor.

Or maybe they change their mind when not doing so costs them money.

The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

No, you are right. In your situation, Linux is just not an option - yet.

I think these posts are meant for the 95% of people that use a browser, and maaaaybe a mail client on their PC.

Photoshop/Illustrator will only ever get ported if enough people have already made the move that Adobe can’t afford to ignore Linux any longer.

That being said, if those requirements are just for work, what’s keeping you on Windows on your private devices?

IDK. They will certainly be fine here, on earth. Even if everything else goes to shit, they will continue living in luxury.

On a spaceship / station / Mars colony though? As much as I love sci-fi, living there will be ROUGH, regardless of how rich you are.

I think it’s more an ego thing: “I want to go down in history as the first human on another planet, lest I be forgotten” combined with an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about other people, which is kinda a prerequisite to being a billionaire in the first place.

I can recommend Grav as a flatfile CMS for those use-cases where the site is 90% static, the customer just wants to get able to sometimes update some of the content.

Or Flauncher

It’s ancient, but in a way I respect Nvidia for not milking it by releasing a new version every year.

Its still a perfect decive. Fast, streams absolutely everything, amazing remote. I seriously don’t know what I would want from a new version

This is the way

“Confused Jellyfin / Subsonic noises”

Nvidia Shield. The bigger one.

Yes, it’s a couple of years old at this point, but it’s still the best device of its kind.

Not to mention the remote is FANTASTIC.

Funniest thing is, this video series ultimately landed him the job as lead UX designer for Musescore, lol

Ohhh I have a feeling you will enjoy this video:

It’s about a dofferent piece of software, but still highly relevant.

And Smarttube Next on the TV/firetv/Android TV.

Security by default is fine, but not if its being forced.

If I go out of my way to root my phone or sideload an app, I have a reason for that. I’m fine with an app going “Hey! This phone is rooted / this app is not from an official source! Wait 10s before you can click ‘I understand and take full responsibikity in case of a security breach’”.

I’m not OK with an app going “I will not work on this device because yiur environment is non-standard, period”.

Thanks lol. The thing is, they’re getting away with this. Forcing Freestyle to open their protocol would instantly solve all of those problems, as you could use good hardware with good software, since you’d no longer be locked in.
