Pantherina

In journalctl I see some notices that are not errors but stuff like "trying to do something only available on X11".

Should all of these be reported?

Edit: it was a bug where I was not sure if it is a bug or just a config issue.

I would be happy about having an automated message linking to bugzilla when such a removal happens.

I posted something related to Plasma and cursor issues with Flatpaks, and it was removed.

I cannot see who removed it.

I tried contacting the KDE account but got no reply.

Podcini is really great! It modernizes the Antennapod codebase (we wouldnt believe but that is pretty outdated!) and makes it more efficient.

Differing from the forked project, this project is purely Kotlin based, relies on the most recent dependencies, and most importantly has migrated the media player to androidx.media3, and added mechanism of AudioOffloadMode which is supposed to be kind to device battery. Efficiencies are also sought on running the app. App build is also upgraded to target Android 14.

After some hiccups at the beginning, it is now in a very good state!

Fedora will ship Plasma 6 with version 40.

As a prerelease, you can easily test it by rebasing an Atomic Desktop install to "Kinoite prerelease".

Now that 40 is branched, you may want to rebase to 40 instead of rawhide, which is already on Fedora 41.

Here I show the needed commands.

Fedora Kinoite 40 is perfectly usable for me!

Imagine I get hardware without TPM or something, that is not supported by Win11.

I will not run an EOL Win10 as the machine needs to be connected to the internet. Tbh isolating stuff in a VM could be an idea but I dont know.

Its not for me but a noob with 0 tech knowledge, that says all...

How stable are the available hardware check bypasses? Is Micro$ already starting to aggressively block those?

I would not want to buy a PC to find out Win11 doesnt boot anymore in a few months...

Thanks!

I am thinking about using my GrapheneOS Pixel6a as a desktop. Not really tbh, but in emergencies and if Collabora Office etc work well, why not?

I would like to experiment.

What I need:

• USB-A mouse
• USB-A keyboard
• USB-A thumbdrive (at least one)
• HDMI/DP monitor port (I use VGA but with an HDMI adapter)
• maybe AUX

So nothing fancy, but it should not cost damn 100€ or be cheap chinesium.

I am from the EU, which is really important too, so no Walmart or Target or whatever (the electronic shops we have are horrible).

Thanks!

It seems like a "USB hub" is what I am looking for. Matching manifacturers:

• Anker
• ...

Okay this is an AOSP feature, see first comment

The problem is that Google decided to do stupid stuff without user consent again

• dark mode can't be turned off on energysaver (which doesnt make any sense non non-OLED displays which are still common)
• energysaver reduces possible max brightness without any reason, not even changeable like in older Androids (where the bar actually went down)

Fuck Google...

I use Chromium only for PWAs like the Element Web UI of my server, to avoid Electron.

Now I have a different browser set as default in my system.

Firefox of course integrates perfectly and uses the "system link handler" to open links.

I want to make Chromium use this link handler, to open every clicked link not in the same browser but send it to my system link handler and thus open in my default browser.

I already set #enable-user-link-capturing-pwa Disabled in chrome://flags. The addon "Open in Firefox Browser" seems to be broken.

I dont know how manifest v3 interferes with that ability of addons to hook into the link handling of the browser.

Btw Chromium has not a single "portal" setting in the flags, but uses the filepicker portal by default.

A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.
