It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it’s far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:
an application that adjusts the computer display’s color temperature based upon the time of day.
It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.
I’m looking for a PDF viewer which would allow me to go from one PDF file to another without going back to the file explorer. In a way, I’d want it to work a bit like an image viewer where you only have to click on an arrow to go to the next image.
GNOME sushi kinda works like that, especially if you restrict a nautilus window to only showing PDFs (e.g., by searching for pdf first). Then you hit space and it opens the preview, and you can arrow left and right to move to the next match without explicitly tabbing back to nautilus first.
He doesn’t have to be incorrect in order for people to feel betrayed by his comments. The commenter was answering the question of why people felt betrayed. Demonstrating the incorrectness of the CEO’s take is out of scope.
(Although, he definitely is also incorrect. Republicans love corporations and monopolies even more than Democrats do. They’re slightly more nationalistic about it though, which is the only reason they ever make noises to oppose corporations that aren’t sufficiently US-owned.)
Why are there so many responses like this, saying not to go back to Google? The OP didn’t even mention Google as an option they were considering. I’ve seen zero discussion in any of the other posts around the fediverse where people have expressed any desire to use Google because of this. Why would anyone think that users who had already moved to Proton would find Google acceptable as an alternative right now?
This just feels like you’re trying to discourage actual conversation about alternatives by acting like the only options are Proton or Google, so we all ought to shut up and sit down.
Also, if you think merely becoming a non-profit means a corporation can never exploit people and isn’t interested in making money off of it’s customers, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Yeah! How dare people object to the symbols of their ideology being coopted by the very forces their ideology opposes. Do you hear yourself? 🙄
KDE Connect should fit the bill; despite the name, you don’t need to be using KDE (or Linux even) since there are clients for every major OS, even mobile.
Among many other cool features, it lets you easily and simply just send a file from one device directly to another on your local network. I use it all the time to send photos from my phone to my desktop without plugging anything in, for example.
Yeah what possible relevancy to getting from one place to another could the weather have?
I used to feel that way too, but after trying games on Linux again recently (got a steam deck) I have yet to find a single game that doesn’t work on Linux at this point. I’m not even exaggerating, literally every game I’ve tried works without issue, even if it’s “Windows only”.
Bernie wasn’t on the ballot though, because he got fucked out of the opportunity. Of course the people who were incredibly motivated to vote for him didn’t show up when they were denied the opportunity to vote for him. That’s not a failure of Bernie’s message, that’s a failure of the establishment to embrace a message that motivates young and disaffected voters.
My doctor’s weird video chat doesn’t work in Firefox (and even in Chrome it’s barely functional probably because it hasn’t been updated since before the pandemic), but other than that singular example, everything else works fine. I think most people parroting complaints about Firefox just haven’t used it recently enough to realize that it’s fine in 99.9% of cases.
The person who called your suggestion “trash” was definitely being needlessly antagonistic, I’m with you there. There’s no reason why you making a helpful suggestion that isn’t 100% perfect deserves responses like that. At least you’re trying to help, they’re just being an ass.
people are acting like GrayJay is somehow worse than completely closed-source software that they use every day
I think it’s more that people think of it in terms of what kind of software do they want to add to their daily habits? Regardless of whatever apps they use already that are privacy nightmares, the goal is probably to try only adding new apps that are great for privacy. It’s not necessarily hypocritical to not have replaced everything yet, and still refuse to install new privacy concerns, even if they are less concerning than existing apps.
I mean, this is a privacy community. The best way to ensure privacy is to be able (in theory) to inspect and modify without restriction the source of everything you are using. Seems natural and unsurprising that people who care about privacy would overwhelmingly prefer FOSS.
I’ve been using Mailspring for both personal and business email, it seems like a decent UI so far, and it functions as you’d expect: runs at login, sits in the tray, notifies when new email comes in, etc. It’s open source and free, unless you need their “pro” features.
Possibly some people will be annoyed that it’s an Electron app, but it launches and runs more responsively than Thunderbird ever has on my machines, so I don’t find that to be a problem. I would rather a Gnome native app, but I’m not aware of any that function well, as OP laments.
Connect has instance filters, which you can use to block entire servers like you mentioned. I have actually used it to block hexbear, myself.
FYI, bots and crawlers can simply ignore your robots.txt entirely. This is probably common knowledge around these parts, but I’ve run into clients at work who thought it was a law or something.
I do like the idea of intentionally polluting the data robots will see, as suggested by this comment. There’s no reliable way to block them without also blocking humans, so making the crawled data as useless as possible is a good option.
Just be careful not to also confuse screen readers with that tactic, so that accessibility is maintained for humans. It should be easy enough if you keep your aria attributes filled out appropriately, I imagine.
Isn’t that kind of the nature of open source though? Waiting until something is “finished” before making it open source would cut off a lot of innovation and contribution possibilities. Some software would never be seen because the original author didn’t get to “finish” it and nobody else could pick it up.
Unfinished open source software releases are a good thing.
All those apps work fine for me, but I live in a heavily populated urban area, so I imagine the quality of data is probably pretty high here. Magic Earth is by far the best experience, IMO, but I like the extreme customizability of OSMAnd+ (no idea what the + is for though, is there another version that is not as extra?)
I wonder, if you’re having issues with map quality, you might be able to help yourself and everyone else around your area by using the StreetComplete app and/or the OSM website to submit corrections. The changes you make should take effect almost immediately in any app you prefer.
I don’t understand; how would a potential mugger or murderer know ahead of time that you don’t have a banking app installed on your phone?
Using RPMs through a frontend like Discover or Gnome Software can sometimes have unintended side effects that are much more easily anticipated when using dnf.
Just the other day, I uninstalled something through Gnome Software that was an RPM, and it also removed fuse-fs packages, breaking all of my appimage stuff until I manually installed fuse again.
This doesn’t ever happen with Flatpak in my experience, though I could just be lucky. It makes some sense to limit the destruction potential for less technical frontend installers like Gnome Software and leave the RPMs to something else like dnf. Though, I do really enjoy being able to open a manually downloaded RPM in a nice GUI to install it.
