Any recommendations for a privacy respecting watch with basic smart features?
  • Alright that doesn't sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven't upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.

  • How was the Bangle JS2? What made you switch away from it?

  • I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

  • More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs
  • The problem I had with products like Airalo is that if you are traveling and need to actually call a hotel, excursion, or any company in the country you are visiting you cannot do that with just a data eSIM like Airalo.

    Sure you could use WiFi calling maybe but in my experience when I really needed to call someone I had to switch back to my original carrier and incur the $10/day fee.

  • Display Settings shows Unknown Display
  • Sadly today the issue is back. Still unsure why this keeps happening.

  • Display Settings shows Unknown Display
  • Yeah I checked and saw that there was some random display there. However, the latest update this morning fixed this issue after a restart so I guess someone fixed it upstream? 😀

  • Display Settings shows Unknown Display

    I only have one monitor plugged into my desktop PopOS 22.04 LTS install. Recently my display settings shows two displays with one being the correct Samsung one and another just as "Unknown Display".

    I am running NVIDIA Graphics and the About reads: NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A]

    With nvidia-driver-550 installed. Any help would be appreciated!

  • It would be nice if it wasn't only an OSX dmg. Where the Linux support?

  • Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?
  • My problem with Symphony and other music apps like Auxio is that they don't work with audiobooks and file types like m4b. Simple Music Player worked for me when playing all my audio files but now I am waiting for the Fossify version to be published.

  • Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?
  • Thank you! I had no idea development had stopped but I see that now in their GitHub repository.

  • Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?
  • That's a good starter list. However it should be noted that all the Simple apps should be avoided now and instead people should use the forked versions from Fossify.

  • And/or with SponsorBlock if you don't care about sending that data to the open APIs. It's pretty useful if some channels you watch have a lot of sponsors, self promotions, etc.

  • Thank you! I didn't know they also made an app that does this. For anyone looking for the link it's the following: https://grayjay.app/

    I'd also recommend looking into their other projects such as their Android voice input app: https://voiceinput.futo.org/

  • Firefox is great and works well on Android yes! I recommend Mull.

    However, technically speaking, resources don't fully recommend it due to there being no per-site process isolation yet that works well.

    If that doesn't matter to people then sure it's great and better than using Chromium based browsers. 🙂

    It's just good to give everyone the information and reasoning why then let them decide.

  • FOSS alternative to Pocket?
  • Thanks for this! I use Wallabag and love it but doesn't hurt to look at other products. Would be nice if they had an non-Google deploy of their Android app.

  • What browser do you use on your PC/Mac?
  • Any reason Fennec and not Mull? Just curious.

  • Dell XPS 13 /boot/efi Insufficient Space

    Has anyone else had this issue before when updating the BIOS on PopOS or any Linux flavor?

    I'm running PopOS 22.04 on a Dell XPS 13 9300 and when I try to update the Dell firmware from 1.17.0 to 1.18.0 I get the following error: bash error in fwupd client: calling Install method failed: /boot/efi does not have sufficient space, required 59.2 MB, got 48.6 MB

    Running sudo apt autoremove does not fix this. Running sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force and then sudo fwupdmgr update still has the error.

    I would really like to not have to backup and resize and pray that nothing breaks when resizing the main partition for more space. Plus there's no good guide on exactly what steps to take for that.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    More info: bash sudo ls /boot/efi EFI f52dfaf1ebdd214ad023db586322b2ef loader
