Oh I see, so these are the same ads you’d see on the official broadcast too?

That’s crazy, it sounds like a whole business! I guess there are probably more costs and risks associated with live streaming that warrant the income stream, compared to uploading a movie to some torrent tracker.

Where are you seeing ads in pirated content?

I use GrapheneOS without Google services and the only issue I have to work around is Slack notifications. Everything else is fantastic.

KDE let’s you do that first one, though it’s ctrl+super. It’s one of my favourite lesser known features.

To add to this, if the phantom clicks are indeed primarily happening while typing or otherwise moving your hands near the touchpad, you should check to see if tap to click is enabled. The unintentional clicks that feature produces drives me crazy and I have no idea why it’s always on by default when a physical click or button is always available.

I’ve been using gimp’s 3.x branch since 2016 or so (after getting a hidpi display) and gimp itself since the early 2000s, both for personal stuff and for work. I’m typically editing existing photos and images to clean them up, apply effects, make new clean images from pieces of existing ones, etc, and for my uses it’s great. Also, having been using it for so long, I actually really prefer the ux to Photoshop (especially since they added an option to use it in single window mode).

I’ve seen videos showing some of the features it’s missing for certain types of things though, and while there are hacky scripted ways to emulate them, you might find it lacking if you’re expecting those particular features.

I’d recommend looking up tutorials on YouTube for things you frequently do and see how much work it is and what the final product looks like. You could up the playback speed to save time since you won’t be following along with gimp yourself.

Because they only offer open source apps they build themselves

You can also use weechat as a bouncer, and it works even better with its own clients which can sync chat history rather than receiving it in a dump. The android client is fantastic in that respect.

The plugin ecosystem is also great. I have a plugin that pushes notifications for PMs and mentions to my gotify server, alerting me on my phone without having to drain its batteries staying connected.

konsole does support sixel images

The Lenovo Yoga 6 works surprisingly well. I got it to replace a surface book for my daughter and wasn’t really sure what parts of the hardware would be supported, but literally everything I tested works (the only thing I haven’t tried is the fingerprint reader) and the included stylus is amazing in krita as well as just generally. The tablet mode works well, and tent mode is more convenient when it’s on a desk (screen rotation requires the iio-sensor-proxy package). Battery life is decent; it gets around 6-7 hours with moderate use. I’d recommend using it with KDE.

You should put your foot down and tell them it’s all about free software while they’re under your roof; they can push open source once they’re 18 and have their own place.

Hah, I feel like they might not approve of a Microsoft laptop? I could be wrong though :)

I got my daughter a surface book with Archlinux on it when she turned four. She’d previously been using an ipad so I wanted something that had a touchscreen, and I installed KDE as the desktop. She learned how to use it extremely quickly, and has even started in on the commandline now that she’s 5 and knows how to read. GCompris is great too.

Me and my wife haven’t bothered with parental controls and instead just keep an eye on her usage, but I agree with other commenters that controlling things at the router level seems like a better bet.

In X11 it’s server side, and in gnome wayland it’s of course client side, but they look exactly the same as the SSD ones. I doubt they’ll change that between the current beta and the 3.x release.

That’s pretty much where I’m at too, and I find it easier to get to the file(s) I want to send through the cli. No judgement to anyone who prefers the gui though!

As far as I know the relay just NAT busts, after that it’s encrypted p2p.

The main advantages for me are:

1. You don’t need to swap ssh keys, which makes it great for setting up new systems I haven’t connected to everything else yet (or don’t plan to)
2. It’s cross platform
3. The devices don’t need to be on the same network (it NAT busts too)

Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

• sshing into servers and my home when I’m out and about
• using croc to transfer files
• making videos I’m going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
• downloading stuff with yt-dlp
• giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
• scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
• running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
• using vim
• probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting

h264 and h265 work- check the va-api table to see what’s supported: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration
