Whaaat? That's bizarre, I swear I had that set.

Nope, it wasn't set. Still returned weird results so I'll try that configuration the other commenter posted.

Oh, I found Graphene excellent! It's just the notifications are pretty essential and I cannot get them working outside of one app. That's the only reason I criticized it.

Are the Jolla and the FLX1 harder to swap OSes on if needed, like you said? I'll consider the Fairphone as I know it's the most popular option, but I've also heard criticisms of parts not being available or software support being dropped. Few and far between but considering how much good press it's gotten, I'd appreciate your take on that. That said I'm sure they wouldn't mind using an app emulator as long as it's functional. I've helped them get Windows games running through Wine on Mint and also got them the BizHawk emulator for old games and stuff, so they're no strangers! haha

But hey, thanks so much for this, it's really helpful.

I've heard Matrix was involved in some crypto bullshit and military operations of some sort. I want an alternative but Matrix is just shady enough all around for me to stay the hell away.

The only commercial social media I use anymore (or at least post on) is Bluesky, and I'm getting weary of that, too. I've switched completely to open source operating systems and workflows in the past year or so. During that time I've also become vegan and am trying not to go to any sort of shop at night. That last one has nothing to do with the state of things at this very moment, but I don't want to give companies more reason to force people onto late shifts when working in retail/customer service already sucks and even full time won't get you close to a living. The last thing anyone needs is their sleep thrown off, as I know from struggling with it myself. I may not be able to stop buying things, but fuck working when you should be sleeping. Unless you're literally an essential worker, in which case those shit shifts should be cycled between people, not consistent.

...I didn't mean for that to become a rant lmao

I love how this goes along with another reply saying vegans are too weak to play. Shit, man, I'd like to try paintball but if I'm forced to use marbles then yeah I guess I am too weak lmao

Weird considering I need my desktop to just be a tool as well, and Mint really does that for me. Just my experience tho.

Thank you! Oh wow, espeak-ng is way better then Festival, tho it's not that bad itself. Is there a reason to use the latter over the former? I'm only just using these tools for the first time.

That's a damn quote.

To be fair, most people who use AI already are.

I read the last sentence as "these boys will pound you."

Fuck yeah, how can I acquire this kind of ban streak?

Missed opportunity for the title of "penis_irl"

I love how this is my first Lemmy comment ever.
