Earlier today I googled how to toggle full screen in dosbox-x and the AI-generated answer said to use alt+enter. Tried it and it didn't work, so I look in the documentation and it turns out that they changed it to F12+f a while ago (probably to avoid interfering with actual dos input).

This is definitely already a problem.

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

Because they only offer open source apps they build themselves

Gnome works like that too- double click on the TTF/OTF and you get a window with a preview of the font and an install button.

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.

So true- I was talking to someone about vim the other day and wanted to tell them the keybinding for something I use daily, but had no idea what it was without a keyboard there for reference.

You could rent a VPS in a neutral country and use ssh to create a SOCKS proxy to it, then use foxyproxy to add the proxy to firefox/librewolf/whatever and either allowlist certain sites you don't want your country knowing about or denylist websites you don't care if your country knows about (especially higher bandwidth sites that aren't controversial like YouTube).

At that point you'd have plenty of "real" traffic from the unproxied websites and any traffic the rest of your OS is using, and when you access the proxied sites you want to hide it'll look like you're using ssh and/or scp.

You could also create a proxy server with a tor connection on the server and use ssh port forwarding to access it locally. The Mullvad browser + foxyproxy would probably be your best bet for using that since it's basically tor browser without tor.

EDIT: Additionally, if you wanted to proxy an application that doesn't support SOCKS internally, you can configure proxychains with the proxy and then launch proxychains applicationname.

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

I never thought about it before, but that might actually be the case eh? You don't talk to Canadian border security on your way out.

I run two multimonitor systems with different DPIs and 2.5gbe and they both run great. What issues are you hitting?

I was seeing those issues on my 7840u, but they were completely resolved with the testing firmware for phoenix here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/...

A bit too late to vote (pixelfed.ca would have been mine anyway), but I love how something like this can happen on the fediverse. Other types of services (eg: x.com) are all about competition and screwing over the other guy, and then here you have one instance handing over a perfect domain to another so they can have a better presence.

Huge props to Dan for giving up his domain, as well as to the lemmy.ca team for expanding the fediverse.

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.

Not the OP, but connect a computer to it and set it to turn on to the last input. I've had one for a year and can't even remember what their interface looks like.

Gadgetbridge supports a good chunk of their watches. Completely offline and you can configure watch settings through it.

I have an old phone with microg, slack, tasker and termux running on it. When slack receives a push notification, tasker pulls it out and sends it to a script in termux that forwards it to my gotify server, which my main phone is listening for notifications on.

I've emailed Slack a bunch of times asking for unified push or even just an API route I can listen on, but so far I've had no luck.

On the upside, Louis left FUTO last February

The game Myst actually worked kind of like a DVD menu with more options.

Is it possible she has variable refresh/gsync/freesync support and that it's enabled? That turned out to be the cause of the flickering I was seeing.
