As much as I'd want to, I think it probably wont be inclided, judging from 2 points:

  1. They didnt mention it. Audio jack would really be a convincing feature for the phone, it'd probably be one of the first things to mention, especially when they say that they removed the telephoto camera and thus they are already cutting features. They could make it look as a trade-off, removing a camera, but adding back the audio jack. Being silent about any possibility of it returning is probably on purpose to avoid extra flame.

  2. It says that speakers, usb port, camera etc. are easily replaceable. An audio jack port would be very easily replaced too. Not mentioning probably means that it doesnt exist.

It's such a let down, they might be the best phone company and they still are bad. A huge part of the community complains about it and there's almost noone who would be bothered about having an audio jack port. Greed is making them kind of blind...

Fairphone Product Manager, Javier Manrique, puts it perfectly, “It’s all about balance. Do we want a bigger battery or smaller display? How do we offer the best cameras possible without breaking the bank for the end-user? There are a variety of factors to consider, and some hard decisions to make.” The mini-jack on the Fairphone 3 is the perfect example. Like we mentioned earlier, user feedback showed us that bulkiness was a bigger concern for the majority of our users, so we had to remove the headphone jack to make the Fairphone 4 thinner.

Wut.. Some people avoid buying phones without audio jack, no audio jack is one of their biggest misses, probably the first thing people complain about fairphone and they say they removed to make the phone slimmer? Was there even ever a poll? Also didnt they use to say in the past that they removed it cuz it was waste or whatever?

And apart from all these, is making a phone slimmer really a stepcloser to sustainability than adding ~0.3cm³ for an audio jack that wont require buying dongles that stop working, wont require wearing out the usb port, wont require buying wireless earphones (how handy that they also sell wireless earphones, very expensive too) and will make the phone compatible with so much already existing hardware? (I personally have both wireless and wired and I use them both (the wired with a dongle on my phone) for different occasions (when I need mobility I use wireless, when I want good audio quality I used wired and both wired and wireless cost around 20€ and both seem to last for years.)

Having said that, we’re still not making enough hard decisions, according to Fairphone co-founder, Miquel Ballester. “The Fairphone 5 is a good example of where we tried to do much, without excelling in one area. Learning from that, we’re making more focused choices for our future designs.

Hmmm, are they preparing us for cutting more features on the upcoming model?

Seems like the developer is back with a video update on the program's development.

Some points I understood:

  • The developer made some rethinking of the whole project
  • The node editor got a rewrite from C++ to C#, a higher level language, to make development easier (I think the filters themselves are in lower level language, it just affectst the node editor).
  • With the rise of godot and video editors becoming 2D/3D pipelines, the developer based the rendering engine on godot.
  • The developer wants to make the editor modular and easy to extend.
  • The developer says that the following months will try to work on getting olive to a stable release:)

Yay, nice to see mander back up and running.

May I ask, do we know what happened?

Also, should we maybe have a matrix chat or something as a backup communication channel?

Supposing we have an open source android app, (how) could one convert it to a linux distro package? (Like for debian, nixos, etc.)

Android is essentially a linux distro if I get it correctly, a heavily modified one.

Many android apps are written with java and the newer ones tend to go with kotlin, which I think should be able to run cross-platform.

Would hard of an attempt would this be?

Edit: Thank you people! From what I gather android is very far from the rest of linux distros (practically having in common only a few parts of the kernel) and the fact that apps tend to be written in java/kotlin doesnt have much of a difference if they are not built in a way that makes the cross-platform compatible (like godot engine does). Those apps will probably need to do many system calls to the android OS, soI can't just compile them for a different architecture. I'd either need an android translation layer or an emulator to run them.

Unrelated, but cool to see some familiar usernames:)

I was trying to learn git and after searching a bit, I finally found some good open-source tutorials. Specifically, I followed those two tutorials, in this order:

  1. https://ohmygit.org/ (a computer application)
  2. https://learngitbranching.js.org/ (a website)

The second seems to cover a bit more advanced topics (it teaches more thoroughly about remote repositories)


Also after an alternativeto search and a post here, I found three more open-source resources:

  1. https://www.gitmastery.me/ (a modern website)
  2. https://github.com/vishal2376/git-coach (an android application covering the very very basics)
  3. https://github.com/jlord/git-it-electron (An old computer application)

PS. Prior to these I had a basic git course, which I think wasn't enough, but probably helped me either way and after this I had checked some git resources, which gave more of a rounded knowledge about git and I think are worth metnioning:

  1. https://jdsalaro.com/tutorial/git/index.html (this person is here on lemmy too)
  2. https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html
  3. https://missing.csail.mit.edu/
  4. https://docs.codeberg.org/git/clone-commit-via-cli/
  5. https://github.com/SimonSchubert/LinuxCommandLibrary

Lastly, there's the pro git book as well for anyone who wants to go even deeper: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

Edit: turns out .su seems to work, while .to doesnt

I'm noticing that about half the time I try to download music from lucida, it fails reporting:

uh-oh!

An error occurred. JSON.parse: unexpected
character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

To test it, I tried:

  1. different download sources (qobuz, deezer, tidal etc.)
  2. different qualities/encodings (opus, flac, original etc.)
  3. random different songs/albums (and even downloading tracks individually)
  4. using different devices

But still it fails. Do they have issues with the accounts they use to download the tracks or is it something else? This kind of issue tends to be fixed a few hours later.

My main issue is that my bottles apps (bottles is a wine prefix manager) can't run its wine prefixes with a discrete gpu. I have the nixpkgs version of bottles (not the flatpak one which the developer suggests using). Things I've tried:

  • Enabling/Disabling the "use discrete graphics" option inside the bottle (only the integrated gpu is being used)
  • Launching bottles from command line with DRI_PRIME=1 and bottles opened for a little and then closed, by reporting this:
    terminal output

  • Launching the game from command line with DRI_PRIME=1 bottles-cli run -p OuterWilds -b Outer_Wilds after having enabled/disabled the "use discrete graphics" option inside the bottle (kept using the integrated graphics instead)
  • Launching the game from bottles gui, after using the enviroment variable DRI_PRIME=1 and enabling/disabling the "use discrete gpu" option (kept using the integrated graphics instead)
  • Adding the following code to my configuration.nix:
    hardware.graphics = {
    enable = true;
    enable32Bit = true;
    };
    
  • Launching the game from bottles gui, after using the enviroment variable DRI_PRIME=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="AMD Radeon R5 M445 Series (RADV ICELAND)" and enabling/disabling the "use discrete gpu" option (it told me that I don't have directX11 installed, but the game should run without it according to steamdb)
  • Setting KDE power profile from "Balanced" to "Performance"

Note that I can launch native apps with discrete gpu by typing in the terminal DRI_PRIME=1 $program_name, where $program_name is the name of the program I want to launch (like SuperTuxKart).

Is there a way to launch bottle apps with my discrete gpu or at least run all of my apps with my discrete gpu? Some extra related links I found, but didn't solve my issue:

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s populist Prime Minister Milos Vucevic resigned Tuesday in an attempt to calm political tensions following weeks of massive anti-corruption protests over the deadly collapse of a concrete canopy. The canopy collapse in November, which killed 15 people in the northern city of Novi Sad, has become a flashpoint reflecting wider discontent with the increasingly autocratic rule of Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic. He has faced accusations of curbing democratic freedoms in Serbia despite formally seeking European Union membership for the troubled Balkan nation. Novi Sad Mayor Milan Djuric also will step down on Tuesday, Vucevic said. Vucevic’s resignation could lead to an early parliamentary election.

Hello, I'm thinking of creating a matrix account after a long time and I thought about creating one on an anarchist server (like something with similar ideas in this lemmy server). Do you have any suggestions? I was looking at this database, but it says it has gone down and they provide a json list.

I found https://4d2.org/ , but I saw that they removed the mention of anarchy from their description. (Compare this snapsot from 2025/01/05 with today's snapsot.)

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask, if not, pls direct me to a more appropriate community:)

Edit: The admin of the server told me that 4d2 became a non-profit company (https://www.acabinc.org/) and they don't want to look that political to avoid any legal issues (I think they have to be non-politicaland such, so they removed the mention of anarchy from their website description.😄 (I eventually made an account there.)

I just saw that the github user bambanah seems to has started to continue the development of deemix!!

There's now a docker image you can use too.

Reddit link with more info about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20250114172700/https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1g5nar6/deezer_downloader_deemix_has_been_revived_on/

I see many posts about piracy services closing down, so maybe this post gives some hope:)

I wanted to try this, but I dont exactly have a menthol source :/

(Or do I?)

Edit: I have a mint mouthwash and spicy cheese paste, hmmm

Edit2: Well, I took half the dosage of the moutwash and did a flush and then ate the cheese paste with the bread. I dont know if it was the fact that I didnt use enough mouthwash, but the experience was kinda mediocre.

At first the spicy didnt register, but that might be because for spicy cheese paste it takes a little time to feel the burn. I think I could feel both the icy and the spicy sensations, depending on where I focused, but it wasn't something amazing (or intense, but that's probably because both sources were mild). I think the taste that lasted the most is the sweetener from the mouthwash.😅

Maybe one day I'll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.

Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I've seen in all the countries the last years)??

Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico

Congratulations Mexico!
