They joined that open washing company? ughhhh

Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

What else? "Ignorant and inexperienced consoomers" doesn't sound very nice...

Nowadays it's easy AF pretty much everywhere. Sometimes there are simple GUI tools that get you there with just a few clicks. Hardest it will get is having to look it up in a wiki for the distribution you are using (if it doesn't have them preinstalled) and then following simple step-by-step instructions

I (unfortunately) have to heavily recommend against using Nobara, especially if you have an Nvidia graphics card. It's an amateur distribution in the original sense of the word and also lacks a large community, neither does it have a company behind it.

This leads to a lack of proper QA and testing in general. It's OK but I would not recommend it to anyone

If you want to go with a "traditional" distro, go with Linux Mint, simply the most solid out there. I'd also recommend you check out Bluefin, it's atomic (meaning that you are basically guaranteed to always have a working system, even after upgrades) and quite modern

This is why – if you want to keep your extensions – you wait with upgrading to a new Gnome version until your extensions support it...

AFAIK there is no stable extension API, leading to breakage with every version upgrade

Luckily I've always kinda seen (at least aspects of it) as an interactive book on steroids, which is why I always read everything lol
But I rly regret save scumming in my first play through, took quite a bit of magic away as in "I'm bending the experience to my will and not enjoying it fully" which I'm trying to remedy now

But ye, it is truly a masterpiece and a wonderful work of art. The experience is just 👌.
The fact that we'll never get a true successor might just be the most disco thing about it all....

But I'm always save-scumming to get Kim on the dance floor no matter what

"understandable, have a nice day"

Happy to help :)

(especially when it comes awesome libre software :p)

does it make it so that it's only "ready" to be triggered by ntfy when it would otherwise poll the server on its own very frequently (so you end up actually saving some battery)?

That's how I understand it, yes. You change the behaviour of the app by configuring it to use UnifiedPush, so there is less background usage to "restrict"

So you have set it up over Mollysocket? Do you use your own or a remote instance?

I just haven't got around to setting it up myself yet... (+ I don't have my own server yet, so I can't self host :/)

I can recommend Molly for Signal and Mercurygram for Telegram. Both support UnifiedPush too!

that's the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

and imo it's not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)
