zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).

i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.

i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.

if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.

ldap is a central authority server. when you have ldap supported software, you can alliviate authorization to a central server. and if you make it so that you only need username for credentials (uid=%s,dc=example,dc=com in ldap jargon), you centralize your user database.

that’s what i use on my home server. it takes most of the user registration hassle away.

edit: by the way dc=example,dc=com is just an arbitrary value, you don’t have to have certbot certification for that or anything.

i don’t know if all of those forum software supports this but this is why we have OpenLDAP for. you can have username as a login criterion and not full username@site.tld. that way when you create a user in one place, you would have that same user everywhere.

the other day i asked my coworkers that “doesn’t that bother you that some of your apps are always listening to you?” they said “i’m not saying anything illegal and when i see a product that i was talking about, it’s almost like a reminder, otherwise i would forget all abou it”.

i gave up.

thank god that there’s a print function in every language.

tldr it’s a clickbait title.

alpine and void linux are pretty lightweight.

freecad IS the tool for you. the learning curve may seem steep at first, but it’s really not. after you spend some time with it, things start to click. i love it.

there’s https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ but it’s not very user friendly.

at least we could try to eliminate the need for tld’s.

edit: and there’s also https://getaether.net/

i guess it’s from 2011.

i have a poco f1 and alcatel idol3. both are ready for daily driving. i think idol3 is a little better than the pinephone despite being a 2016 phone, and poco is just amazing performance-wise. i have microg on poco and pmos on idol3, trying to migrate my whole workflow. apart from camera, everything’s working quite smoothly.

he chatgpt, finish this construction robot.

i have a t420 and running up-to-date void linux perfectly fine.

if you’re looking for just a collaborative editor then there’s etherpad.

you can’t get a sim card anonymously here, and i believe that’s the situation in other places. and even individuals selling their phones make some ownership transfer papers.

it’s very hard to stay anonymous on mobile. our best bet is still desktop/laptop.

is this from louis rossmann’s company? the repo has grayjay, too.

did you downvote your own post :)

sometimes that’s right, but other times it fires back. like in autodesk software, it turns into a money making machine. because they’re the industry standard for more than a decade now, they just pump out new version every year with barely any changes and deliberately not forward compatible. so you just pay more every month, because everything is subscription based now.

• this is 100% valid. even on wayland it’s working great.
• it took like 3 days to migrate my whole workflow to libreoffice. it’s definitely doable for 95% of ms office users but when you’re in a big company it gets tricky. formulas work a little bit different so you have to consider that. libreoffice is case sensitive, ms office is not.
• this is again mostly a compatibility with other parties issue. and from what i understand photoshop has a lot of third party addons that would definitely be cumbursome to migrate.
• i have to use windows at work and it drives me crazy. constant notifications for mundane stuff, no package manager, no sane way to keep apps up-to-date, commandline is shit.
• even freebsd was better at handling my thinkpad. i have a wifi dongle, on linux it just works, on windows i have to install an xp app to be able to use that.
