Wow, this certainly seems way more robust than Briar. I especially like the Bluetooth integration. However, I'm wondering about why the white paper says nothing about offline devices. For example, what happens if you try to send a message while the other person is offline and then you yourself end up going offline when they're online? Does that mean that the message will just never get sent until both of you are online at the same time? That's how Briar works. Briar also warns about battery drain because of the devices' constant searching of each other.

By the way, we can all also tell that the website is clearly vibe-coded, but you at least have the open source code going for you.

Oh. I wasn't referring to nor even aware of a Blorp link...

Pressing "share link to comment" on your comment yields the following link: https://piefed.social/comment/11580090

Is this incorrect? I intentionally refer back to the original material whenever possible. It feels cleanest.

Weird, is it not showing an XKCD comic crosspost? I don't understand how to do those... It is pointing on my end in Blorp to: https://lemmy.world/post/47626053

Gotcha. Well, I should say that, at least back when I was on Windows, trying to use LibreOffice's dark theme was extremely crippling; entire rows of buttons would be invisible to the point of trying to go dark making the program invisible (and if you're really used to dark themes like me, that can be quite unpleasant).

I don't actually think it's generated, but yeah, it's being really nitpicky and convoluted. The Update Manager options, for example, are basically minuscule battery-saving improvements for laptops. Glad I'm not going nuts!

In what ways have you customized it? Curious about what I'm missing out on... the coding menus seem overwhelming to me to try to do anything with...

Then do they eventually disintegrate? What becomes of them? Do they eventually turn into... dark matter?!

Really? I mean, I mostly hate billionaires.

Wait, how many people can a single ghost take out over the course of its existence? Can a billionaire ghost take out more people than one who died below the poverty level? How long is a ghost's existence? Is it unable to move on because it hasn't yet eradicated everyone it wants to? What if it is just unable to for whatever reason? Does it simply roam the Earth forever harming other people that it didn't even intend to originally?

Please don't waste my data when I can rotate it in my mind.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 12 points 6 days ago

Wow, you're right; it actually managed to go through the entire post without mentioning a single model... So ridiculous.

Edit: I seek a server-less solution.

The only thing I can see is Linwood Flow but it looks like it's a really, really long way off before becoming a primary calendar app.

If it could just store all calendar content in 1 local file, then that could be so easily auto-synced across devices with !syncthing@programming.dev. Does anyone have any leads?

Hmm, I just now learned about Fruux, in this Reddit post...

In the formatting strip with bold, italics, etc., there is a troll face on the right that has never done anything when touched; I'm using v1.71.3 (288) on an S23 running Android 15 and One UI 7.0.

I'm trying to report this company-promoting spam but the loading wheel never seems to pass a report through. I've tried it on other instances as well, equally unsuccessfully. I thought several versions ago, reports submitted with no problem.

I had no idea that this post even had a URL and thought there was only the embedded video. I thought Summit showed article links freely. What's going on? S23 on Android 15 running One UI 7.0.

Like the dummy that I am, I've been using NoScript on my phone and 2 PCs... independently picking out which scripts will prevent a website's most critical functionality from breaking by guessing.

I'm now finally coming to a point of wanting to merge them, since I sometimes go to different sites on my phone versus the PCs, etc.

Is there any tool or way to merge them in a pro-whitelist way? Like, if any of them has a script on a whitelist, then the synced result will put it on a whitelist. That'd be great!

I don't suppose there's a solution to it. I use https://search.trom.tf/ which cycles through a list of SearXNG instances, but some of them retrieve results that literally look like they belong to another query. Has anyone else experienced this?

The real-time chess of the different character classes in Bad North is truly incredible. I love how height makes a real advantage (or disadvantage if too close!) for archers' physics-driven arrows, all the details (despite being a minimalist game) like arrows getting stuck in targets' shields, your choices in what weapon specialties you can assign, the fluid and organic character movement and fighting, etc.

You also really come to care about your soldiers' survival since the death of squad leaders is (typically) permanent, so loss is extremely emotional, especially given how they're customizable with different items. And—like the world's greatest jigsaw puzzler, Glass Masquerade—almost any screenshot from the game could be made into a wallpaper, so that's awesome.

For those who have never played this game, it was just on sale at GreenManGaming for <$3 (IsThereAnyDeal rocks!). It was also given away via Epic Games some years ago, which is how I've been revisiting it.

I had tried this back when it first went free and now wanna tout it here; Forgetful Dictator is the solidest piece of edutainment I've ever seen about country & capital learning/memorization. It's funny, smartly designed, and truly rewarding by teaching players more about all (known) human societies across our planet. I think everyone should give it a try, especially since it has many difficulty levels, from complete beginners to memory masters.

I'm trying to find a way to translate audio in a FOSS, ideally offline way. I currently use Jan.AI for everything but I realized that I've never tried to upload files to it before, and my current configuration doesn't seem to allow uploading.
