The novelty of the turing test has worn off, and some of us are trying to get work done without being forced to parse the drivel produced by some AI.

A DGX spark is cheaper than a mac mini m5 with half the memory, half the disk, and no cuda, and no Linux. Why not indeed!

A Mac Mini with M5 Pro, half the memory of a DGX Spark, half the disk of DGX Spark, and no CUDA, is already more expensive than a spark. The Spark runs Linux natively, has a tiny form factor, and is usable as a general purpose computer. I u

Amazfit required a one time registration to get a one time code to unlock things, but I used a throwaway email id, and then deleted their app immediately. After that point the watch only syncs with gadgetbridge. The best part is that the wa

If you care about privacy and owning your own data, then don't buy this, buy a watch with gadgetbridge support ( https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/ ). I bought an amazfit active 2 a few years ago and it works fantast

Right, my rant was more about the options for syncing. The reading and writing experience is fine otherwise (if a tad slow).

I second the recommendation to use reManager!

I bought a Remarkable 2 tablet a while back. I quickly realised two things - 1. Remarkable's own software is a steaming pile of poo. Their inbuilt web server for uploading files is extremely buggy and unusable. It's dog slow. You

We only recently started moving the Functional Programming India community from Telegram to Zulip. That decision is looking better and better!

Yes it is. It's not trying to be new money, it's your money that already works.

Difficulty is most certainly not the point. Abstraction, composability, yes, but difficulty is a language smell that CAN be fixed. (I love Haskell and it's my primary langauge, so this comes from a place of love).

Look at my statement in context of Mojo. Why would someone use this language if all they want is to "get an idea down quickly"? They would just use Python instead

Really the only thing good about Python is its ecosystem.

I have been building cross platform QT desktop apps with PureScript and NodeGUI. PureScript is truly underrated as a language and as a gateway to the entire JS ecosystem!

Also, being KDE native means using QT which is a good cross platform toolkit anyways.

Vim/Neovim users should look at LazyGIT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPLdltN7wgE The best part - it's a TUI program that's usable independently, that also happens to embed really well within vim.

I just tried it out, it looks great! The swipe typing is a little less predictable than heliboard, but that might be because I am used to that one

Google apps can talk to each other even without internet permissions. So even one app having internet permissions is enough to leak your data

Looks like someone created clearflow support - https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/discussions/2315

It's not just a technicality. FUTO not being FOSS means that the community cannot fork and maintain the keyboard in case of a rug pull. In addition, not being FOSS means that FUTO is not on fdroid, and requires a payment on other store

Florisboard does not have swipe gesture typing which is basically a deal breaker for me

PSA: For folks looking for a swipe enabled keyboard on GrapheneOS without using Google's gboard, try Heliboard - https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/ . It's 100% FOSS, but can also use the bin

IronFox is Firefox with different settings. IronFox is security focused and hardens gecko preferences - https://ironfoxoss.org/docs/features/ Using a Chrome based browser (i.e. Vanadium) is not an option for me
