How does it handle mounting/unmounting USB drives? I’ve had to deal with that a bit in the past few days between multiple android devices and it’s been fairly mixed, with the default aosp ironically being the best at it

What makes Material Files better than Fossify’s file manager or even the stock one? It’s hard to tell from the F-Droid screenshots.

Also, seconding the AntennaPod and Syncthing-Fork recommendations. And to add more recs: Voice Audiobook Player, Breezy Weather, and Clock (by BlackHawky) are really good. Breezy Weather and Clock are by far the best apps of their types that I’ve used

BRIEF monopoly

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.

Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them

I’d like a federated ecosystem for game mods that uses torrents for file downloads to reduce server load. Something to act as a safe haven in case NexusMods enshittifies. It’d also allow more diverse sets of rules through servers, so you could have versions of Nexus, LoversLab, etc. all sharing a framework instead of everything running smoothly for one and not the others.

Plus, NexusMods have really dropped the ball with regards to permissions. Their default permissions are set up so that if you’re a mod author, other authors need to ask you for permission to use your mod as a dependency. Not just crediting you and linking to your mod, but asking permission beforehand. I don’t see how anyone can look an that and not see it as insanely hypocritical

I’m skeptical. Isn’t the EU Commission the body that’s in the pockets of industry lobbyists?

That stuff could be ignored in the commit, but yeah the lack of those files suggest it might not be AI-generated

The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub

Is it? Or are you deciding that for them?

As an American, I’ll admit this one is a good dig

Linux’s “security through obscurity”

I lost braincells reading this. The entire point of open source software is to have it visible and auditable, aka the exact opposite of security through obscurity.

If you want to bash OS’s for relying on STO, go after iOS and Windows. Those OS’s, being closed source, are the ones relying on it

Keep in mind that the rate of errors caught by AI will not be consistent. It will drop off over time.

While I’m no fan of AI, that has nothing to do with it. Adding AI to error detection suites is (mostly) fine so long as you don’t remove more tradional methods like code review, manually set up unit tests, and properly reviewing each failed test instead of just letting the AI slop in a patch.

My point is that any test you add to an existing codebase is going to catch a decent number of issues at first, then over time it will drop off as pre-existing issues get resolved. Then you’ll be left with the lower rate of new issues from updates.

AI isn’t a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.

I don’t know how you got this screenshot, nor do I care by this point. I’ve spent 5 minutes trying to get folders to work with 0 results. If Joplin can’t be bothered to make this resonable to do in their app, then I can’t be bothered to use it

Plus they’re probably just rehashing 3 week old bews

That’s still rather vague tbh. There’s a pretty big spectrum of how involved an AI gets beyond just letting the AI do everything, and the line between ‘vibe coding’ and not is blurry and changes between individuals.

Are you treating the AI like a glorified StackOverflow/Google to get suggestion and then manually writing/adapting the code yourself? Are you letting the AI do all the coding and running a lot of tests? Is it something in between or outside those examples?

I’m not trying to string you up, it’s just that communication and disclosure are important in FOSS

It seems to have a hierarchical organization system like Obsidian. That’s a big difference imo.

Now, Joplin might have that hidden somewhere, but in that case the fact I can tell this from a glance with HelixNotes and not with Joplin still says something.

I’ve been looking into Joplin and LogSeq to potentially replace Obsidian. My issue with both of them is that they don’t seem to offer hierarchical organization. I want to split topics into different folders, with sub-topics in sub-folders.

This feature is a must have for me, and OP’s app seems to fulfill that while also being open source (unlike Obsidian). Tbh, it seems like it’s mainly a drop-in replacement for Obsidian (which is good imo) if you’re not using Obsidian’s sync system

Yep. For folders where I want access quick access to everything in the folder, SyncThing is best.

Starting to dabble with KDE Connect for one-off file transfers where SyncThing is overkill

Second AntennaPod. Best podcast app I’ve found so far

Thanks for the rec!

Goddamn I hate the internet sometimes. Why have I only heard of the Moddo Mouse now despite several searches the past 2 years!?!? AND IT’S WIRELESS!?!?

(Edit: Ah, missed the part where you said this just released)

Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing that. Definitely going to be eyeing this for a new mouse.

Also, do you know if the PCB supports more than 2 side buttons? I’ve been deperately looking for an option with 4+ side buttons
