Wow, I had no idea about the green button info, thanks! I am not too bothered about VRR (it seems totally broken on Wayland for my GPU at the moment anyways, and I have been fine without it so far), but I bought this TV for the 120Hz and good colors, which so far have been mutually exclusive :P

I bought this one: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B094XR43M5

Good to hear. Yeah, I am starting to have my doubts about this cable…

My understanding is that it doesn’t have VRR for people (at least without the special firmware, which indeed only works for some). Not seen anything about it not supporting 4k@120Hz, though maybe I missed it as I read so many different threads about this topic…

Ohh neat, thanks for sharing! Maybe I will bite the bullet and buy that one… it’s a shame that the recommended one doesn’t work, but ah well :)

Thank you.

Yeah, we use Windows servers primarily. Thankfully what I do doesn’t require much interaction with them, though every once in a while I am subjected to SMB file sharing.

My work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn’t support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo’s decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.

Yet enforcing your copyright is exclusive to the rich. I had to move off of GitHub because of Microsoft infringing my code licenses and selling them as “GitHub Copilot”, and I have no way of fighting back/recover my losses.

Thanks for the warning, that sucks. I’m only interested in the local functionality, so this should not affect me I think!

Thank you so much, this is very helpful information! What kind of features am I missing out on using it locally? Setting and measuring the temperature sounds to me like a pretty feature-complete thermostat. :) To clarify, I don’t actually need any Apple hardware/software to use this, Home Assistant just pretends to be HomeKit connecting to the Tado USB bridge and provides free control from its interface?

I often have performance issues with Jitsi (“video has been turned off to save bandwidth”). Might this be down to which instance I use? Perhaps it’s time to self-host.

Interesting! Maybe it’s worth switching banks, at least once I get the courage to move to Linux mobile.

None of my banks (a couple French and Belgian ones) seem to support anything but auth via app. Can’t log in on my computer without my phone.

I’m personally really excited for Linux phones and want to move to one relatively soon. They’ve done amazing work on the experience of using them. What I’d really miss, based off of talking to folks and trying them at conventions, is:

• battery life. My Pixel 3a lasts over a day on Android, likely much less on pmOS
• UnifiedPush for notifications. I only see a Matrix client listed as WIP. Every other app (Fediverse, Signal) I would have to keep running in the background
• Notifications while in sleep mode. Looks like we don’t have “Doze Mode” from Android, so only calls & SMS work while asleep
• Fingerprint sensor. More of a QoL but I kept my phone model specifically for the ergonomics of the sensor on the back, and being able to scroll with it. Communication with the sensor is not yet figured out

Tuwunel had intentions to build a Synapse migration tool, but I haven’t heard anything about it since. Was waiting for it so I could bring over profiles and most importantly chat history for myself and my family.

I (maybe) ended distrohopping last year when I gave NixOS a shot. I can’t recommend it for beginners but once you understand generally how things work on Linux (and have an interest in programming) it’s a superpower to be able to define your entire setup as a single git repository. If something ever breaks, I can reboot into an older commit and keep using my computer, or branch off in a different direction… I’ve only scratched the surface of NixOS and yet I can already make a live USB containing my setup with a single command, or deploy it (“infect”) to another machine and manage e.g my work desktop and my personal laptop sharing most settings. Also it taught me about Nix (the package manager, which also runs on any distro and macOS independent of NixOS) which I now use to set up perfect development environments for each of my projects… if I set up dependencies once (as a flake.nix shell), it’ll work forever and anywhere.

Hmm no, I haven’t had this issue. Tempo works fine for me, it’s been mostly bug-free except for a few oversights:

• search doesn’t work offline
• can’t play AAC files
• can’t skip songs via my Pebble watch

I’m (still) on a Pixel 3a, running LineageOS, in case that matters.

I did use Feishin for a while, it’s an excellent music player but unfortunately not a native program. I might switch back to it from Tauon though, as actually playing the whole song before going to the next is a pretty nice upgrade hehe

It looks really good indeed, and I don’t mind at all to pay for apps (I pay for FairEmail)… however it is very strange for me to add a nonfree app to the list I use every day… everything else is open source.
