  • I use freetube on desktop ( The libredirect extension make it an ease ), and since i watch subscribed channels in phone, i use revanced. So that i don't cause viewership loss to them ( IDK it will affect them directly or not, just for my pleasure. )

  • Is there any FOSS full speech recognition user friendly software yet?
  • For PC's the whisper can be now run on many common laptops and desktops ( with almost good accuracy ) , thanks to projects like whisper.cpp and faster-whisper.

    There also happens a lot of model's getting released by meta like wav2vec2 and MMS ( not seen using anywhere though )

    I guess there are many python packages for aforementioned projects too.

  • Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend
  • Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.

    Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.

  • Incoming changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention

    We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

    To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.

    This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

    • If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.
    • If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
    • If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.

    At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

    Attachment previews are now displayed in the message list in Proton Mail
  • Yeah. I would've loved if it were optional / configurable .

  • Attachment previews are now displayed in the message list in Proton Mail

    [ From proton reddit announcement ]

    Hey everyone,

    Starting today, you will be able to see attachments displayed in the message list on Proton Mail for the web. This feature will come to mobile apps in the near future.

    Attachment preview will help you find a document you need quickly and preview it in one click. You don’t need to open the email containing it to see the details of the document.

    Please note that this is only available with the density set to “comfortable.” If you cannot see this improvement, you can check which interface density you’re using by clicking on the settings icon in your browser.

  • Introducing the Proton Calendar Search Feature

    [ From proton reddit announcement ]

    We're happy to announce that the search feature for Proton Calendar is now available in the latest version of the web app!

    Now you can easily find the events you're looking for – whether you need to confirm an event’s location, get more details from its description, see participants, and more.

    If you haven’t already, try it out here: https://calendar.proton.me

    Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches. That way, no event content is made visible to Proton for the purpose of a search.

    Read more about Calendar search in our knowledge base: https://proton.me/support/calendar-search

    As always, thank you for your continuous support,

    The Proton team

    beginner friendly linxu distro?
  • Yeah. If someone have a good DE , arch is as easy as some other distros. I have 3 friends whose laptops i installed with pure arch + GNOME ( by sideloading aside windows, but setting arch as default 😈) . Its still on their laps, and the only problem they only thing i had to say them was to update weekly or bi-weekly.

  • Trying to figure out how to find community on [@mastodon](https://lemmy.ml/c/mastodon) trying to completely switch over from Twitter

    Also, most accounts boost other accounts/ post, which also acts as a way for me to discover accounts.

    We’re curious to know what you think and look forward to more suggestions that will help us make Proton Mail better for everyone.

    The new Proton VPN Linux app is officially out of beta!
  • I think not. There only seems to be only 2 dev's working on linux app, and thir current priority is to bring wireguard to the app and preferrably , an updated CLI too.

  • The new Proton VPN Linux app is officially out of beta!
  • I think not. From the reddit discussion, it seems that only 2 dev's ( they are hiring one more soon ) work for linux support, and they can't currently spread too thin.

  • The new Proton VPN Linux app is officially out of beta!
  • Tried it in debian today. Yeah, its bad that the app need to be open inorder to have connection. They could've made it go background ( like telegram or discord does ), which would be better.

  • The new Proton VPN Linux app is officially out of beta!

    [ From reddit announcement ]

    Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.

    With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:

    • Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
    • VPN Accelerator
    • Moderate NAT
    • NetShield Ad-blocker
    • Kill switch
    • Port forwarding
    • Auto connect at app startup
    • Pin servers to tray

    Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.

    Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.

    For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we'll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.

    What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

    It's Official, Antimatter Falls Down in Gravity, Not Up
    www.nature.com Antimatter falls down, not up: CERN experiment confirms theory

    Observing this simple phenomenon had eluded physicists for decades.

    Antimatter falls down, not up: CERN experiment confirms theory

    Since the discovery of antimatter decades ago, particle physicists have wondered if these particles were repulsed by gravity. Einstein predicted that despite having opposite charges to its regular matter counterparts, antimatter should still behave like matter does concerning gravity. This has been tricky to confirm experimentally since it's hard to make enough antimatter to observe its behavior. Particle physicists have finally pulled it off, using the ALPHA-g experiment at CERN, generating antihydrogen atoms and then dropping them in a 3-meter tall vertical shaft.

    Search is now available in the Proton Calendar Beta app on the web

    [ From official announcement in protonmail subreddit ]

    Hello everyone,

    Starting today, you can test the search feature in the beta version of the Proton Calendar web app.

    This feature will allow you to easily find the events you're looking for while keeping your schedule private.

    Search is made possible by creating and storing a local index of your events on your device.

    This ensures that Proton doesn't see the details of your events.

    To try it out, make sure that you have joined the Beta.

    Do this by opening the Proton Calendar web app, and enabling Beta access in the settings menu.

    You can learn more about this feature here: https://proton.me/support/calendar-search

    Search was one of the most popular Calendar community requests, and we’d love to hear your feedback about it!
