lol I understand the feeling

thanks for this!! there’s so much info on this comment

i’m currently using Logseq w/ Syncthing but i’ll be looking at Org Mode and DokuWiki

this is the ad-free version, which is available with the exact same (if I’m correct) features on F-Droid for free, along with the source code on GitHub.

the versions on the Play Store (paid version and free version with ads) likely just help pay the developer for their work

and as others have said already, free software is free as in freedom, not free beer.

ah, okay, that’s fair. in terms of short-form social media that tries to engage you, I’d expect little warning and for children especially to take more risks when encountering this type of content.

Folks with rooted android phones have a high chance of having watched a 12 year old tell them how to root their phone on TicTok.

I was more focused on this, though, because this sentence implied that you could successfully root your phone with short-form, likely phone-generic tutorials when the process nowadays is much more difficult and technical

see my reply to @pacoboyd@lemm.ee

maybe it’s just me, but isn’t it quite hard (at least for people not confident doing technical stuff) to root a phone?

like a decade ago the bootloader may have been unlocked by default and for many phones there were exploits so that they could be rooted with an app, but nowadays you would have to:

• unlock the bootloader by installing ADB and fastboot drivers, booting into download mode and run terminal commands that would reset your phone in the process; and for some phones, you would also need to shorten a test point and for quite a few of them nowadays, unlocking the bootloader is impossible
• boot into download mode and flash a custom recovery with fastboot or potentially with Odin or some other proprietary software (or sometimes you can root from download mode)
  • for some newer (including Samsung) phones, you also need to disable dm-verity otherwise your phone wouldn’t be able to boot into Android
• boot into recovery mode and finally flash (probably Magisk) an image to root the system

I guess there are usually detailed instructions for this, but I doubt that most people rooting their phones now would be non-techie people who are just watching generic online tutorials. they would most likely stumble upon XDA or other forums that would have proper instructions. and even then, they are not very beginners friendly as they aren’t usually supposed to be followed by people with little to no experience with using the command-line, drivers, how Android phones work internally, etc.

qt as well

another Terminus (and Catppuccin) user I see!
beautiful setup

can second this, they look kinda strange to me

wow this is great

I’m in the same position because FlorisBoard will over time have all the features that HeliBoard has but HeliBoard has those already so I may switch too

true, all my large packages use ccache

another cave story user on fedi!! very cool

i know someone with that exact bg too lol

haven’t compiled it in like months bc it keeps erroring out lol

please tell me you use ccache tho

despite being a good paint editor for Windows, it is unfortunately not open source or source released (I thought it was as well):

However, citing issues with the open source code being plagiarised by others that had rebranded the software as their own and bundled user content without their permission, the availability of the source code was restricted

In November 2009, the software was made proprietary, restricting the sale or creation of derivative works of the software.

the developer talks more about it here and here

looks great! love the pixel font. I should switch from dwm to dwl someday

ah, I see. thanks

doesn’t it allow compilation and non-commercial distribution? I don’t agree with the license (not free or open source), but I’m genuinely curious on what specifically doesn’t allow source code modification.
