Stop gatekeeping people’s enjoyment of audiobooks.

because some people don't want AI and would rather even the files were not present in their computer.

> All cameras (glasses, phones, etc.) then blur your face in recordings.

that requires too much goodwill and effort from the makers of such devices. They know their audience wouldn't want that. They don't give a shit about what people being filmed think.

bliss, that is what happens when it goes away.

Wtf with everyone suggesting new names? Is this an LLM thing?

Hence why I wear an old pebble to this day. Smart where it matters but not a data siphoning device.

by not having them at all.

Gonna be stolen from any parked bike in the UK…

I think it is named Rio cause the author is from Rio de Janeiro state...

Isn’t that choice mostly dictated by BSD license allowing them to keep things proprietary instead of GPL requiring them to release their changes?

Gives them a line to justify removing projects in the future if they are caught violating the ToS.

I have the clones from swiss micros.

They are more portable and really good.

guess, I was mistaken. Godspeed there, hope you get what you want.

I don't think that amount will make anyone willing to take in the massive task of making an epub3 compatible reader for TUI. That is a big feature.

No.

have you checked the MNT Reform Next?

Can we add Photos to that list? Can we add it twice cause it is that bad.

oh mozilla, why don't you just focus on Firefox. That is all we want.

apparently if you set to zero, it just disables the feature but I can't see that option here. I don't use shorts at all, I want the feature gone from my ui

the minimum I see here is 15 minutes... there's no zero option. Using YouTube app on iOS in the UK.

you might not be aware, but UK law doesn't actually require Apple to do it. It is targetted at social networks. Even ofcom posted praising Apple for doing it even if they didn't need to. And yes, that law is stupid, but allowing only credit cards as a way to verify an account is also stupid.

Shedding zero tears for an irrelevant comment by an edge lord.

I don't like the App Store experience and sandboxing either. I just find it almost malicious that they added that dialog even for notarised applications. Notarised applications should show no dialog whatsoever, just like App Store ones. It is these little frictions that move users to App Store apps. How many users saw that, had doubts, and then decided to go back to the "safe" walled garden.

that's the thing, it is not an option. The only option is credit card, that is what drove me nuts. If it had other options, it would still be bad, but I'd have a way to solve it even if made me angry. Now, the only way to solve this is literally to order a credit card from my bank and then use it. Which is bonkers.

Everything after Snow Leopard has been downhill in my opinion :3 macOS still my favourite unix but it started feeling is no longer my unix anymore, I'm just a glorified tennant.

I been considering Fairphone cause I want to support smaller vendors and also because it is repairable.

As for Linux distros. The MNT Pocket Reform comes with Debian and I plan to leave it at that even though Debian is not my favourite. I will use Niri and Noctalia with it. I plan to make use of whatever Debian package but if it is too old for my taste, I'll look for AppImages and Flatpaks as needed. I got a Surface Go 1 running exactly that setup but with Fedora and works really well for me.

Want to use KDE Connect to link whatever Android I get with the laptop.

Random nobody here, I can write whatever I want on my own personal blog, you're not required to read it.

author here, the post was mostly about desktop. I don't rely on my phone much but I need it to work as expected when needed.

author here. Yeah, they make their laptops by hand in their lil shop in Berlin, low volumes makes things more expensive. I get it you can get a lot more performance per buck elsewhere, but I want to support a company that creates open hardware and open source software. Also it is the most repairable and upgraded laptop in the world atm.

the law in the UK doesn't require any of that. It didn't even required Apple to do it. Ofcom is praising Apple for doing it even though it was not required. Social Networks need to do it.
