Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.

Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it’s pretty straightforward, but it’s something to be aware of.

HeliBoard let’s you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?

Check what version of Syncthing-fork you’re running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

AFAICT F-droid hasn’t built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub’s end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don’t believe those are published anymore)

Sorry, works for me on both Voyager and the aussie.zone web interface. No idea what could be wrong

If you’re already in the repo it’s “Watchy 3.0 Review.md”

Potentially relevant for anyone considering a Watchy

Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one.

This seems to be the main thrust. GrapheneOS has a hardened WebView, that using a Gecko browser bypasses and adds more attack surface because you still have the WebView.

Outside of Graphene this is less relevant (because of the lack of hardening) and outside of mobile only the isolation comments are relevant, which they note are being improved rapidly in desktop.

Arguments in favour of using Gecko browsers are typically about preventing a single corporation from monopolising web standards, and having continued access to proper ad blockers, things that are not part of Graphene’s focus.

+9 appears to be currently shivving +10, so my money is with them

I may have misunderstood the assignment

Has an onboarding wizard, includes text, voice and video calling, OMEMO encryption, group chats etc.

But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn’t they work for you?

The vast majority of micro USB cables are A to B cables, but USB A to micro USB B. Maybe if they had been introduced now when super thin laptops are a thing they micro USB A might have become more popular. Or more likely, the problem with the A/B distinction would have become more obvious sooner

Micro USB also has an A and B connector

The name is really just branding - Chromecast, Google Cast and Google TV have all been used for radically different Cast Receiver products. The important part though is that my device doesn’t have Android TV installed on it; it doesn’t have Apps and I can’t install VLC on it.

(If you meant VLC was on the mobile device, I believe this is a separate system where you stream from the mobile device to the Cast Receiver thingy. The big value of Chromecast (the standard) is that the mobile device doesn’t do any real work, just tells the Cast Receiver where to look for the stream. If I misunderstand the situation let me know, I’m eternally hopeful)

Yeah, I’ve got an actual Chromecast, not a Google TV, so I can’t install anything on it. I have enough computers around that buying anything new would be redundant, but nothing works quite like a Chromecast.

The only reason I’m on a Google rom is because I can’t get confirmation that I can cast Netflix to a Chromecast with microG. It’s the only Google ecosystem thing that matters to me. If they try to break my phone then I finally get to get over that hump, no loss. Almost everything in my phone is F-Droid (“side-loaded” is such a loaded phrase)

I’m also hopeful that this move will get struck down given the recent anti competitive practices cases they’ve lost.

It’s easy to win a war when your enemy is strangling themselves to death.

I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important
