Actually there’s some support for Wayland. Tried it last year, but had to do serious rummage trying to make it work. For starters I can recall it spitted a video but the command throwed an error at the end and could not understand why. Also i seem to recall the video stopped way after finishing the command.

Even had to recompile all of ffmeg to add support for wayland recording (though Gentoo makes this really easy). One thing for certain is that Gentoo’s ffmpeg stable version is fairly behind from upstream’s so that could have had a hand on it too.

It’s true, here it’s more like “Andean <something>” (“<algo> andino”)

Yep, no dice, that’s why I came here to complain lol. Both Fdroid w/ Izzy on Droid and the Play Store say its “incompatible” with my phone

Uhhh pretty sure we haven’t defeated brutality. At all. If you don’t believe me just ask Palestinians, the Uyghurs, inmigrants.

Most of what you call “civilization” has been build thanks to wars.

Alas can’t install it on my phone (xperia 1ii) because “unsupported device”. Bummer, it seems actually great.

But most of its “brutal-ness” of contemporary life is not about natural disasters, diseases or circumstances that go way beyond our reach.

It’s because us humanity. We (stilñ) are brutal and cruel and unforgiving and relentless.

And we have the courage of calling ourselves “civilization”.

I was heartbroken when Google killed their Reader service. To this day I can’t fully understand why they did it - many people used and loved it.

Moved to Feedly but things were never the same. I’d like another app or service that lets me read my subscribed feeds and sync their read/unread status (and save them for reading them later in a separate collection, as you can with Feedly) between android and pc - but being visually well designed as Feedly, without the caps it puts to you like that ridiculous cap on searching into your feeds, being completely free and that is no self hosted (don’t have a pc turned on 24/7 nor can afford it)… so yeah maybe this is asking for too much.

However, I absolutely agree RSS is absolutely awesome and wish more people get into it

Isn’t that the purpose though of Ubuntu though?

No, because back in the day when Ubuntu was “Linux for human beings” you could literally feel that in almost every aspect of it, from the ease of its installation to its icon theme and system sounds to its help pages. It was their “selling” point - it made Linux friendly and reachable for many people, as it did for you and me.

It’s been more than 15 years since I used Ubuntu but from that point I really could feel that what @merci3@lemmy.world says is true - it no longer offered any real benefit compared to Fedora, Solus, Mint or whatever distro targeted at people getting into Linux. You won’t find many people saying that Ubuntu really stands out from their similars about something. It just became another option, forgot what was “Ubuntu” about (remember the Amazon ads scandal?) and seem to be really stubborn into impose to the community their way of doing things (snaps, mir…). Or tell me with a serious face how the snap thing makes the life easier of someone wanting to install a deb.

It’s correct what you say - as many other distros, they have done a great amount of work over the years and most of us are grateful to it because we could get into Linux thanks to it, nobody can deny that. It’s just that said work no longer seems the case nor they seem really interested about that.

Sadly Lemmy has gotten so much Reddit toxicity so I don’t get why you got downvotes. As a non native speaker I won’t mind if I got some downvotes too if I could get advice improving my english on my shitty comments instead

I was told Plan9 is who treats absolutely everything as files, even remote mountpoints

That’s why I said it a sudden huge increase in its usage doesn’t sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

But it also means more people will try to introduce malware and exploits.

Not saying that hardware makers giving a single fuck about linux would be a bad thing, but rather than a sudden huge increase in desktop linux usage doesn’t sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

Oh great! Yet another logo or UI using the Inter typeface, just what the world needed!

My bet is “because historic reasons”.

I remember my Nokia 3220, which was the paradigm of phone personalization at its heyday. You could personalize almost everything of it - from its back cover to getting another chassis and/or keyboard with different colors, to its wallpaper, how things showed up in the “home” screen (wether if a list or a grid) to the ringtones and the light patterns they showed when the phone rang. You could even personalize said light patterns doing some dark magick with MIDI (I did one with the opening riff of Metallica’s “Hit the lights” back in the day). Frankly that phone was the tits and imho everything regarding fun but useful phones has gone downhill from there.

But about the font? No, you could not set a different one. There was no other different font, and am pretty sure it was the exact same typeface as the one in the 1100. It was hardcoded.

Same story with a Motorola Rokr Z6 I had the chance to have - you could personalize almost everything from it (it ran Linux under the hood!) except its font.

I’d say Android dragged those concepts from those old phones, and it was just like a couple years ago or so they went “oh! shit! oh! shit!” and remembered about the fonts - all we had meanwhile was the Roboto font in Android 5, which imho was a huge downgrade from the ol’ good Droid Sans family - so now they did some cheap ass effort to try to catch up. And meanwhile typeface formats have evolved a lot - not just bitmap fonts, not even just TrueType fonts, but OpenType fonts (I recall reading somewhere they’re Turing complete?) and now variable fonts. Supporting all of that stuff doesn’t seem easy, and it’s not like AOSP or Google like to put effort in stuff people actually care - they’d spend some time or it or they can choose a subset of all of that to make their lifes easier. If they want to, that is.

And not that in iOS things are better, though - I recall having to do some weird shit with mobile iTunes or something to set my mum’s favorite ringtone because it won’t allow custom ones that easily as we can in Android.

I recall telling this story here on Lemmy not long ago - (and got downvoted some weeks ago for saying that it can happen on any distro… kids don’t know the real struggle I guess) - back in the day I swiped my HDD trying to install ubuntu 5.10 and lost all my data from uni and stuff. Still I can’t remember how I managed to install it after some attempts like a year after that or so.

I’d be upset about losing my data but truth is that somehow I was used to it - third world problems made it frequently due to not having a cd burner to burn my data and crappy IDE HDDs that got corrupted after a while just because. I still have some of them stored somewhere in hopes I could try to recover something from them someday, like some sort of cryogenic stuff.

No, but I want to be one.

Yup, with the recent MTB groupsets (and some gravel groupsets, aka “mullet” setups) chains need to have more links compared to road chains to cover the big ratios in their biggest cogs (50-52 teeth vs. 34-36 at most for road bikes) - add to that that MTB chains may not be compatible with road groupsets and viceversa. But if you check the info available for your groupset and your cassette you’ll find what chains are compatible with it.

I can’t tell what makes a groupset compatible or not with rim brake setups or disc brake setups, but one of the perks of Shimano is that is so widely available almost everywhere it’d be quite rare not to find documentation or a local bike shop where they can tell you what would be the best choice for your setup

You’d want to double check the freewheel that your wheels have, but (surely anyone who knows more about this than me will correct this) I’m almost positive any Shimano 11sp cassette will work. Same for your chain - be sure it’s an 11 sp Shimano-compatible road chain, be Shimano or something like KMC.

Thank you, @Natanael@slrpnk.net helped me figuring out how to do it - and yes, definitely those aren’t tasks for noobs like me. But at least I got to learn something new
