The login page for the old apps is at the bottom of the page in the footer.

That being said, I really miss this being a premium offering.

That's not quite the same - that gives you the appearance of being a local device, which is enough to fool the restriction.

Their policy and technology enforcement is to charge for remote access, not relaying.

Show me a music store I can purchase music from on my phone through an app, and I'll purchase it.

No offense intended, but are you sure it's using your GPU? Twenty minutes is about how long my CPU-locked instance takes to run some 70B parameter models.

On my RTX 3060, I generally get responses in seconds.

I was reflecting on this myself the other day. For all my criticisms of Zuckerberg/Meta (which are very valid), they really didn't have to release anything concerning LLaMA. They're practically the only reason we have viable open source weights/models and an engine.

I'm not familiar with creating fonts specifically, but you'll want to commit any resources necessary to recreate the font file, including any build scripts to help ease the process and instructions specifying compatible versions of tooling (FontForge in this case). Don't include FontForge in the repository, of course.

The compiled font files should be under releases in GitHub for the repository.

Git isn't generally meant for binary resources but as long as they're not too large, they'll be fine. You just may not have meaningful ways to compare changes easily.

Correction: migrated to GitLab, but I don't expect they'll want to keep it there.

I...do not miss XP, but I understand the nostalgia attached to it.

I learned a lot of technical skills on XP, but that's what made me appreciate the architectural decisions behind UNIX-likes all the more.

I'm using a combination of:

• The Boox Palma reader, though they have larger tablets if you prefer. I'm not sure about the others, but the Palma runs Android with the Play Store.
• Kavita to host my ebooks online.
• FolderSync with SFTP to sync all of my books ahead of time to my SD card.
• Moon Reader to add my Kavita server's OPDS feed as an online catalog if I need to grab something manually.
• Calibre to manage and embed metadata.

Is it possible that connecting to WiFi triggers app updates in the background? Those can be somewhat intensive especially when batched.

Additionally, the Google Play Store no longer notifies when app updates occur, so this process is a little more opaque than it used to be.

Same story here, and Connect seems to be the furthest along.

I'll probably switch to Sync for Lemmy when it makes it's debut, but Connect is almost a good enough replacement.
