thats a very fair point, I had not seen anyone else make this one But the problem is that in this case, this functionality was entirely undocumented. I dont think it was intended for programmers.

Now if the firmware was open source, people would have gotten to know about this much sooner even if not documented. Also such functionality should ideally be gated somehow through some auth mechanism.

Also just like how the linux kernel allows decades old devices to be at the very least patched for security risks, open firmware would allow users of this chip to patch it themselves for bugs, security issues.

We really should be pushing for fully open source stack (firmware, os) in all iot devices. They are not very complicated so this should be entirely possible. Probably will need a EU law though.

aha thanks! i was wondering how ppl do this yeah but tbf discord has a lot of features

depending on which client you use, the ui can be very discord-like (this is cinny): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinnyapp/cinny-site/main/assets/preview2-light.png

Also matrix has calls (at least element does), though not sure about screen share. And since when was discord e2e?

I ll admit matrix was for a long time really slow but matrix 2.0 largely solves this and other usability issues. Calls and screen share are still not standardized but its all being worked on.

With matrix, its not just about building one app, its about building a decentralized ecosystem all connected by the matrix protocol. So things tend to take more time.

but it can look similar to discord: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinnyapp/cinny-site/main/assets/preview2-light.png

It seems the function has been moved to kglobalacceld/src/component.cpp: https://github.com/KDE/kglobalacceld/blob/master/src/component.cpp#L162

why dont you make something like r/SubredditSimulator? It would be cool to see what modern llms can do in this respect.

you really didn’t have to go through the trouble of writing all this, thats really kind of you!! thank you so much!

Your ansible thing sounds really cool but might be a bit too much for me tbh 😄 Maybe someday I ll have such a smooth setup but for now Im hoping I dont have to reset too much

There is actually an app, konsave, that can backup/restore plasma config but sadly it hasn’t been ported to plasma 6 yet.

Thanks again for all the explanation of the config files. Im planning to create a repo documenting all the info I find so this helps a lot.

thanks thats really useful! its amazing how much utility the linux shell has

(thanks both of you)

Don’t want to backup the whole folder because I only want to keep a few key settings (specifically my taskbar/widgets positions/config) but I guess I will backup whatever I think is probably related.

They will become cheaper over time. In the future buying robots like these could be like buying a new car i.e. expensive but still reachable for most and for others they might be able to buy used ones.

But I dont have much faith in modern tech companies to not fumble this really badly. Will probably end up like the IoT stuff nowadays which have potential but are handicapped by cloud BS and enshittification.

Its a lemmy alternative written in Flask (Python). Piefed has got more moderation features and is probably faster to develop being written in Python. Both lemmy and piefed can talk to Mastodon (and obv to each other too).

Lol good luck but I wouldn’t recommend it as your daily os. Qubes is for those who have got a nation state on their back or something like that. For most people, default fedora is more than enough.

(see https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/qubes-overview/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop/)

Probably Qubes OS

Id say just recommend Photon. It works well on both mobile and desktop. I love voyager but two very different uis is going to confuse new users.
