I am on Wayland and have the issue.

I’m having similar. When machine dims the display, it’s changing my monitors brightness and doesn’t bounce back.

I understand that. I didn’t call FUTO FOSS…

I wasn’t meaning to conflate the two, as I see your point. I didn’t claim it was FOSS, just that the source was available.

I know for me, I don’t mind using software that is licensed so that it doesn’t directly fall under FOSS. I just like the availability to view the source vs closed source software being a total black box.

I have no plans to monetize their work, nor fork it, only use it.

I know I don’t want to open up any more ports than I have to, but you’re right, that does sound like another alternative to setting up VPN.

Since I access more than just my pihole when connected to my home network. And because I want access to my home services, and don’t want to open up access to the public, opening one port and connecting to VPN is the way to do it. I have one port opened up for my VPN, and in order to connect you have to have my IP or my domain pointed at the IP, and you have to have a Wireguard profile setup, and know what port is open. So that does help a tad bit with my security concerns.

Edit: how would I go about that if I felt so inclined? Any tips?

Which they state is a fork of LatinIME

You can still use PiHole as your DNS when not home if you setup a VPN. For me that was the route I went.

I bought a 2024 vehicle with OnStar, I wonder if the process is comparable… Could you share your source please?

Using SMS through signal defeats the purpose of signal…

The UI is fine, what more do you expect out of it? It has a list of chats, a menu button with menu options, like it’s a messaging app not a social media platform akin to discord or telegram.

I can see two sides to this:

Removable batteries are great, if you want longevity for a phone, and don’t mind sacrificing water resistance.

On the other side of the coin:

Removable batteries have more potential to lower water resistance ratings.

I think more manufacturers should give the choice of a model with a removable battery.

“Verizon agrees that the FCC should consider the merits and trade-offs of handset unlocking requirements,” Verizon spokesperson Rich Young told The Register, though that support is conditional.

Screw verizon with an acid covered cactus. What possible “merits” are there to locking a device down for anyone but the companies selling the phones? Rich Young can go kick rocks.

I will not buy a phone through a carrier, I will not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. Period.

I am done with anticonsumer bullshit.

You should go another level deeper, VirtualBox > Windows > WSL > Waydroid > Lindroid

I have seen the likes of similar, like Andronix but I typically don’t want to buy into proprietary software where possible. Thank you for sharing!

All good!

In this specific github entry it mentions flashing, and with my setup, I would prefer not to flash something onto my phone without some sort of backup.

Unless there is a userland app I can install that I seem to be missing.

This interests me greatly. I would like to try this on a device, but I don’t have an extra I can spare to do so.

Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you don’t have anything to say.

I would agree with you here. From my experience, schooling doesn’t aim to teach critical thinking, or reading comprehension ad much as it should. The way tests and work are handled is more closely inline with memorization. Memorization doesn’t help people break new ground, or help develop the tools to begin troubleshooting, and tackling new ideas and problems.

Memorization typically ally only helps with solving problems we already have answers to.

I appreciate the compliment. However, there are plenty of people who are more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the grand topic of computers and technology.

You’re right. I get hit with the “you don’t know which year” phrases. But when I ask further probing questions as to why I should know those things, I get hit with the “well I learned this in X year of school.” and they fail to explain the importance. People often equate memorization with being intelligent and real world examples point to this absolutely not being the case.

I oddly find technical documentation of things and informational pieces to be far more interesting.

And might I add, well put!
