This isn’t what you asked for exactly, but there is an app that allows you to easily install any APK, and many “regular” android apps from F-droid work fine on WearOS.

Star Trek is long overdue for Broadway

The percentage of Proton subscribers who are also Linux users just HAS to be greater than any comparable service, right? This makes sense.

I don’t think you’re in the wrong to say that code nobody has reviewed has not proven safe, and a brand new project (of any kind) is not proven reliable. A brand new big project that’s purely vibe coded is every red flag of unsafe and unsustainable.

Yeaaah not to mention Immich already exists and is proven software.

Yes exactly, my potentially hot take is that twenty years from now we’ll look at immutability as the tipping point that sent Linux mainstream on desktop.

I think Fedora Kinoite is the best distro for someone coming from Windows due to KDE’s flexibility and similarity to Windows and it’s immutability. Default Ubuntu is great for people familliar with MacOS, and it can even be themed to be basically indistinguishable.

Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

Is this voice assistant something I can install on Android? I didn’t realize there was any alternative to Google or Siri (or Bixby).

I say fuck it let’s give him another 10 spinoffs we have nothing to lose anymore

I have been extremely disappointed with the broader Linux ““community”” at times, but never Linux.

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

Yes exactly and I always consider Steam (and to a lesser degree the Kindle ecosystem), which make it obvious to me that interoperability and convenience are something consumers are willing to pay for.

This was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.

That’s an awesome story and I agree he was great in that role.

Oh fun I will have to check it out

He should have won best actor for his performance as “Ian” in Jungle 2 Jungle.

The fact that it lost to American Beauty that year is a travesty

Colm Meaney’s performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!
