Sure, this time it only affected Windows computers, but Crowdstrike has also broken Linux installs this year:

And with topgrade you can even upgrade flatpaks and your distros repos in one go

Your half right. It’s not really the OS’s fault but rather the fault of the browsers and app-frameworks that use the browser in the background (electron). Because neither Firefox nor chrome have this feature implemented for Linux. The official Discord client doesn’t do it either but other ones such as Sunroof do. It’s possible that at least one Matrix client has learnt to share the screen with sound on Linux but I don’t know of any (I also don’t use Matrix a lot so don’t pay too much attention to my experience on that)

Ghost is open source. You can selfhost. It’s just that aggressively advertising their (paid) hosting services on the official website

Which is why the comment you where replying to specified

in civilised countries

The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C’s is illegal

If you don’t want to do that, then you can buy a bootable drive (for example here: https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/mint21-usb.html)

Using a different tool to create a bootable drive is just a part of installing any operating system, not just Linux. If you ever need to install windows on a pc that doesn’t have it installed you will see the same process.

Also I would argue that he was famously not a famous painter

Linux has had MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) support baked in for some time now. Dell sells such a pen which they call the Dell Active Pen but theoretically any MPP pen should work.

It’s not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

Be aware that rebooting doesn’t shut down the Eye of Harmony (at least for models Type 61 and older - newer models can have an optional dimensional transfer to mitigate the problem). Rebooting all systems while the star powering your TARDIS is still dimensionally attached can lead to a high build-up of Archon Energy that needs to be disposed quickly. not doing so will result in your TARDIS trying to use it internally by changing the layout of your rooms and possibly even the desktop theme of your main control room.

An easier way to archive what you are trying to do, is to access the remote management interface. That require you to own a new-ish sonic screwdriver (at least last years model) as only the new ones come with the necessary holographic UI library to do anything more than remote summoning or launching preprogrammed macros.

Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn’t mean, anybody is actually going to build it.

They are contributing to Google’s hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.

Thank you

You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo

Sxmo utilises your phone’s volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I’m aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.

No the episode is definitely a commentary on racism. The inhabitants of Finetime are not just gen z, they are explicitly upper class gen z. They have literally blue blood. They are very Tory-coded.

The whole episode is riddled with micro aggressions from Lindy towards the doctor. Here is a possibly incomplete list of them:

• declining the Doctors call in the cold open. but taking Ruby’s later on
• suspecting the Doctor is responsible for the situation
• being disgusted by Ruby and the Doctor being in the same room
• not noticing the Doctor and the person calling her in the morning where one and the same, saying she just thought they “looked the same”
• Introducing the Doctor to her friends with the words “he is not as stupid as he looks” and suggesting he would be punished later on

There is also the mention of a cleanse, which takes on a very different meaning after the twist especially since not just the majority of the Finetime characters but all of them are white.

The whole episode is designed to make you question your own perceptiveness of racism. After the twist you are supposed to go “how could I have been so blind?”. I recommend a rewatch. And no, I didn’t pick up on it at first. I did notice some of them as weird, but noticed what all of them have in common only at the end.

Warning: the holographic cheese may contain (non toxic) glue

In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

May I introduce you to LocalSend

I’ve just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I’m writing this comment using this very build.

If there’s interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.

I haven’t tried it myself but the StarLite is a surface style convertible designed to run Linux, even shipping with the distribution of your choice right out of the box. And apparently it supports MPP pens. It’s not in the official specs but StarLabs is selling an active pen that’s “exclusively designed for the StarLite Mk V”
