You do know a free expansions DLC has been in the works this whole time, and still is?

Pretty sure the internet archive is dealing with Petabytes, if not Exabytes.

If you like the combat and the quarry, the Jukebox lets you play a bunch of challenge levels in locations from the same dimension as the quarry is in.

You can actually deGoogle android.

You can’t really deApple iOS or macOS, or deMicrosoft Windows.

Yes. I do this. You’ll want to look up X forwarding.

Once set up, you should be able to execute GUI applications installed to machines you connect to via ssh, and have their GUI show up on the machine you are connecting from.

Both are perfectly serviceable, but for the self-hosted storage/office suite combo, Collabora simply fits into Nextcloud better. Which is likely why you don’t see OnlyOffice discussed much.

Collabora is just more integrated. The NC and Collabora developers actually directly collaborate on integrating it into NC as the “official” office suite.

And AFAIK the backend of Collabora is simply LibreOffice, meaning the “desktop” version is: LibreOffice. The UI is the same, too, though they might’ve diverged since I last used LibreOffice on desktop.

Personally I’m not really concerned with formats, as long as I can finish documents as PDFs, and Collabora has brought a google-drive-like experience to my nextcloud instance that OnlyOffice didn’t manage. Either way I was able to do a google takeout of my drive storage, and just plop that into my nextcloud. But with Collabora, actually interacting with the resulting files within the nextcloud UI has been nicer.

I guess by libre office you’re not referring to Collabora?

Collabora is the online version of Libre, and absolutely integrates with mobile, nextcloud, web browsers, collaboration, etc.

I initially used OnlyOffice with my Nextcloud instance, but switched to Collabora with my own CODE server once I realized it was MUCH more thoroughly integrated into nextcloud.

I would absolutely use it. In fact creating and editing services would be the primary selling point IMO. It doesn’t need to be much “easier” than doing it in the terminal or file explorer, to me the primary benefit would just be the ease of use of creating, loading, and starting a new service all in one place.

I think a generic template would be great.

You could turn the whole thing into a giant GUI settings screen, allowing navigation to an exectuable, after which you could provide some of the most typical options as sliders, number fields, switches, or whatever is suitable. But that would be a large amount of work, and I’m not sure it would simplify things much.

The starting point should just be a text field, but with a link to the service file docs for help/reference.

Oooh this will be perfect for a bunch of stuff I do.

Can you create new services or do you still need to create the .service file manually?

What about .timer files?

Low detail Konsi ❤️

Yeah. I’m basically saying that being happy right now is a good thing, as long as it doesn’t come at the expense of someone else, or your future.

So many people live miserable lives thinking it’ll make them even happier later, completely ignoring that life should be worth it right now.

Ok?

Did I not pretty explicitly allude to the need to not over-indulge?

This is why hedonism is a good thing.

You just can’t be so hedonistic that you can’t keep being one next year, and the year after. Or in a way that screws someone over.

Also private equity.

Was definitely on by default on my device.

Personal data is still accessible, if the app you choose to pin is something like the dialer, or your mail app, then yes, you can obviously access contacts and emails. The feature doesn’t block the pinned app from accessing everything it normally accesses.

As for opening other apps, this applies to stuff like links or launchers. If the app has links somewhere, you could open your default browser app. It does not allow you to “escape” the pinned app to anywhere else in the system, unless the pinned app has a way to launch other apps the way launchers do.

The feature could certainly use improvement, but if it were only useful with people you trust, it would be pointless.

It’s obviously intended for situations where you have to let someone use your phone, and don’t want to give them free reign. With people you trust, you wouldn’t need something like that.

It’s far better than nothing, and is in fact part of android.

It is.

Apple has “guided access”, android has “pin app”.

I only have experience with the latter, it works by opening the task management view, and selecting “pin application” on a running app.

That then locks the device to that app. To access anything else, it has to be unlocked as if the screen were locked.

Wine unfortunately can’t be used for that kind of stuff. Programs run in wine cannot communicate directly with hardware in the way they can on windows.

Not yet, at least, but the implementation is in very, very, very early stages. As in, people have just about started figuring out how it could theoretically be done.

Also, easyeffects can be used to apply audio processing, if you want to. (Should be in basically any distros default repos)

I don’t use any effects on the output, as they sound great, but I do use dynamic range compression on the mic for the benefit of my friends.

It levels out the loudness, so whether you whisper or shout, you sound the same level of loud. That way they can hear you even if you speak quetly, or don’t get their ears blown off if you loudly swear in frustration.

Doing the same on windows was way too much work to ever bother with, on linux, easy peasy.

Endeavour OS, here. I didn’t have do anything in particular to get mine working.

You might need to use a windows system to verify that it’s working at all, could simply be broken.

The other option is that they’re on an old firmware that works differently for some reason. You’d need the EPOS software on a windows install to do an update.

Linux drivers are usually part of the kernel nowadays, or sometimes get loaded as kernel modules.

Either way, most distros should just come with the audio drivers that implements the support for these. Generally, being open source, linux drivers implement support for everything the devs can figure out, rather than making a separate one for each piece of hardware that’s out there.

If you’re on an older kernel, that might be it. I remember when I got a DS5 controller I had to use a kernel newer than 5.15 because that’s when support for it was added to the game controller driver.
