I am on lemmy.zip and had no problems so far. I really don't have anything more to say.

If something killed XMPP for me - it was Matrix. On open source replacement that is not only more popular, but has more active development and it's easier to use. No big company required. And since XMPP is still alive for its niche user base and EU is probably the reason for Threads federation - I don't think this is the right hill to die on.

But this article is about the GPG for Android app which lets you view your profile in games where you sign in through the Google Account. Google Play Games on Windows is not going away because it serves a different purpose.

I use Feeder. Minimal, but has everything I need (feed groups, bookmarks, offline downloads). Open source with no ads or tracking from Play Store or F-Droid.

You can use an open source app like Gadgetbridge to connect it to your phone without any online services - if this is what you ask for. The only online service is the app store - which you don't have to use (you can locally upload any app you want).

Nice! I am liking your GuliKit controller - I use the KingKong 2 Pro often and it's great.

+1 for Repainter. I bought it when it didn't use a subscription yet. It's really great for theming your device!

Or Logseq is a great Obsidian alternative with no account needed and apps for Linux and Android. You can sync it with Syncthing.

It's not the same, but you can do this by swiping down on the gesture navigation bar. You can find it in Settings > Gestures > One-handed mode.

I am still working through Tears of The Kingdom. I bought it at launch, but I don't play very often. The size of this game is wild - I finished Breath of the Wild in 70 hours, and now I am 65 hours in ToTK and still have like 70% of the game left.

At least (according to them) they want to Get to a point where you can reach into a kitchen drawer and be able to replace your Screen.

If you want just a good file manager with the FTP server option - I use Material Files, which is free and open source app. here's the link

Pixel 7 works perfectly for me. I like nearly all aspects of it. The camera is extremely good (I've recently made a comparison with iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone was far worse) and reliable. The battery life and performance is good. The phone feels smooth, without a lot of bugs. I don't have a recent experience with Samsung, but I will stick with Pixel going forward.

Yeah, I enjoy it a lot. I also play Hogwarts Legacy and Disco Elysium on Steam Deck. And sometimes Lego Fortnite with my friends. I have yet to convince my friends to play something other than Fortnite or Minecraft.

I tried Filelight with my phone connected through KDE Connect and I can confirm that it works!

In Czechia, you need to legally be an entrepreneur/bussines to get the free Makro membership to shop there.

This is what Claude2 (with 100K context window) has to say about your comment, after I supplied him with the entire proposal of the regulation: Based on my understanding of the Cyber Resilience Act, I don't think that assessment is entirely accurate. The key factor is whether the open source software is placed on the market in the course of commercial activity, not the employment status of individual contributors.

The regulation explicitly excludes open source software developed or supplied outside of commercial activity. As I mentioned before, this means pure community-driven projects where the software is freely shared and open should not fall under the requirements.

It does not matter if some contributors are corporate employees, as long as they contribute to a non-commercial community project in their personal capacity. For example, if a developer who works for Company X contributes code to Project Y in their free time, that alone would not make Project Y commercial.

The regulation would likely apply if a company systematically develops open source software as part of their business model. But just having corporate contributors among many community members would not automatically trigger the rules.

Overall, I think the regulation aims to avoid putting burdens on pure community open source projects, as long as the software is not placed on the market commercially. But the details of implementation will be important to watch to ensure a proper balance is struck.

I am currently using the Fossil Gen 6 Hybrids and I love them! They are currently working fine, and I would like to have the new Pebble in the future. However, I don't like the square design - I would much rather have something like Pebble Time Round 2.

It's apparently independent again - announced in July 2023. here's the announcement

I use it wirelessly with my Linux PC and Nintendo Switch. The latency is completely fine - I don't have any problems with it. Yes, the buttons are dampened, the loudness never bothered me. Overall, I am satisfied with my choice.
