I thought that they would come to their senses after the CrowdStrike fiasco.

That’s crazy, I almost always have my screen locked into portrait, I would have never found that feature!

It’s fun to try to make it recognize your own sounds as a bird call. I was able to get an 82% as an Eurasian Collared Dove. I feel like one of the flock now.

Yeah, the ability to use the bluetooth or android auto forward/backward jump buttons to skip a few seconds instead of entire tracks makes AntennaPod nice for audiobooks or other long form audio.

Here is mine: In AntennaPod you can add a local folder as a “podcast”.

This is a great way to add audio files from other sources to your pod listening schedule. Files copied from your computer, drm-free audiobooks, audio tracks extracted using NewPipe etc.

It is also possible to have the files deleted when you are done playing them.

Yep, I think in those situations it’s best to write in a language you are comfortable with and let the reader use the tools of their choice to figure it out. That way if their first try gives them garbage they can use other methods to figure it out.

I have yet to see a machine translator whose output I’d trust to send out as my own.

There is a PR to allow the use of the translation engine by other apps. Once this lands I would love to see Fedilab have this as an option for its inline translations as an alternative to external services.

Not sure what’s causing the UI issues but another way to go about this is to create a custom collection and configure your browser to use it. This way you can control what shows up in “recommended”. IIRC you have to use nightly, beta or a custom build like Fennec to allow using a custom collection.

In the subject you wrote “successful full sys update” but the script and the other suggestions I see so far don’t actually handle the “successful” part.

The log message only tells you that the update was started and the db mtime only indicates that the db was touched without saying anything about success.

I’d go about this by always performing the updates through a wrapper script that could check the exit status of the pacman or yay command and record a timestamp accordingly.

Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.

I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won’t have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.

I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn’t end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I’d already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn’t seem all that special. But I figured it out later on…

A nice aspect of survivor games on the deck is that you can play them single handed (for the most part). I like to clone the left stick onto the right one so I can play with either hand.

Brotato is my current pick for this.

• Termux (or equivalent) has always been the primary mobile phone use case for me. Access to my main computing platforms from my pocket.
• Antennapod
• Fedilab (Mastodon)
• Fennec - Can’t deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.

So, this is a more involved approach and it’s not a Firefox add-on but I thought I’d mention it:

You’d play the YT videos outside the browser using mpv in combination with yt-dlp and an mpv lua script would do the translation locally using the Bergamot engine (which happens to be Mozilla’s translation engine). Could be adapted to use other engines too.

Thanks, I see that sdl2-compat-2.30.51-1 has landed in Arch since.

I’d start by comparing the following in the working vs non-working cases:

1. Is there a corresponding /dev/input/js* device?
2. If it’s there in both cases, any difference in permissions? Check both regular Unix perms using ls -l or stat and ACLs using getfacl
