Oops! I did wonder if it could be non-Nvidia. Oh well

Awesome, will give this a try on a new Arch install with hypr

I actually have an old laptop with a GTX 780M and a Core i3 3rd Gen running Arch.

When I tried GNOME on it with Fedora, it defaulted to X11 on login when it detected the Nvidia card. However, mine was also an Optimus laptop, and I could mostly always get Wayland working with the iGPU on the Intel. This is how I mostly ran for a year or two without ever using the dGPU.

I need to chuck in a new SSD on that, but I could check it out let you know if anything’s changed in recent years. I don’t think wayland support for older nvidia cards have even been worked on in the last couple of years. There’s work for wayland on newer nvidia cards, but it’s mostly still spotty.

I know one guy in one of our Telegram chats that simply loves their Android turtle emoji

Bettle Juicing at its finest

The reason I switched from Gboard was because it autocorrected a capital “I” to a small “i”

Thanks! Been on the lookout for good HDDs with external power supply.

How are you connecting the two drives to the Pi? Do they have external power supplies?

Asus ZenPhone? Have you been living under a rock these past few months lol

Just wait until Google eventually kills it off lol

IIRC, that is literally just a skinned KDE Connect lol. Probably even just a name change. Never used Zorin, but this is what I remember either DistroTube or Chris Titus saying.

I’m currently reading Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper, which is the first book in the Dark is Rising sequence.

I first read this book years ago, and what has stuck me ever since was the vivid use of imagery by Cooper. I’ve also watched the movie, but it’s the book that has always stuck with me.

This is usually a function that full blown media servers offer.

Jellyfin is the one that jumps to mind with this functionality, however I haven’t really this functionality out as of yet.

Isn’t that still the case there?

I remember it being a huge thing on r/cinematography and r/praisethecameraman

Back in the day, it was a really great way to find new apps. And by back in the day, I mean when it was still called the Android Market.

Its initial transition to Play Store in the ICS era also wasn’t too bad. It still kept a lot of the good things from Android Market. But since the launch of Lollipop, things have really deteriorated. It might not have really been the fault of Google, but there’s a lot more noise with subpar apps that crowd the store now. There’s also the incessant ads for sketchy apps featured prominently that leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.

Like you, I’ve probably spent like 30 minutes on the Play Store over the last 4 years probably. Every app I want today is either on F-Droid, or already pre-installed on my phone. Or they’re PWAs, and it’s easy to install them just by going to the website.

Nextcloud News, Nextcloud Notes, Nextcloud, and DAVx5/ICSx5. I also really like FairMail; it’s one of the best email clients I have tried.

The former set of apps allows me to ditch most of Google’s services.

Yes, most definitely! It’s the reason I avoid Android tablets in general. I have a random Android tablet from Lenovo that runs Lollipop and is stock-ish.

Used it for about a year, and now it sits as a paperweight.

Yes, definitely! I don’t have as much use for a tablet these days, which is an unfortunate thing. My phone is big enough to cover most use cases, and my iPad 2017 is too big to be used comfortably for most things - it’s not ergonomic to hold upright in most conditions, it’s slippery without a folio case (and cases are hard to find unless you get an official Apple one which is very expensive), typing on it is a pain because of how thin it is, and the only saving grace it has in terms of typing is the mini floating swipeable keyboard added to iPad OS in recent years.

I’d definitely love to run something like a Nexus 7 again! Perfect form factor for most things, including media consumption, reading books, and much much more!

I add it through their web interface. I signed up several years ago, but I spent 2020 and 2021 updating OSM for my city to be as good as Google Maps for major places, posting their open and close times, better pin placement and such.
