Your half right. It’s not really the OS’s fault but rather the fault of the browsers and app-frameworks that use the browser in the background (electron). Because neither Firefox nor chrome have this feature implemented for Linux. The official Discord client doesn’t do it either but other ones such as Sunroof do. It’s possible that at least one Matrix client has learnt to share the screen with sound on Linux but I don’t know of any (I also don’t use Matrix a lot so don’t pay too much attention to my experience on that)

Ghost is open source. You can selfhost. It’s just that aggressively advertising their (paid) hosting services on the official website

Which is why the comment you where replying to specified

in civilised countries

The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C’s is illegal

If you don’t want to do that, then you can buy a bootable drive (for example here: https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/mint21-usb.html)

Using a different tool to create a bootable drive is just a part of installing any operating system, not just Linux. If you ever need to install windows on a pc that doesn’t have it installed you will see the same process.

Linux has had MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) support baked in for some time now. Dell sells such a pen which they call the Dell Active Pen but theoretically any MPP pen should work.

It’s not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn’t mean, anybody is actually going to build it.

Thank you

You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo

Sxmo utilises your phone’s volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I’m aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.

I like the term “extermination” which the ICC’s chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Bibi.

Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn’t make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn’t help all the dead or starving civilians.

That’s why I like the term extermination. It’s precise but doesn’t require intent. It doesn’t imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don’t think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).

And it does all that without being a euphemism.

Edit: a previous version of this contained a Freudian slip where I confused the names of Biden and Netanjau.

In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

May I introduce you to LocalSend

I’ve just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I’m writing this comment using this very build.

If there’s interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.

I haven’t tried it myself but the StarLite is a surface style convertible designed to run Linux, even shipping with the distribution of your choice right out of the box. And apparently it supports MPP pens. It’s not in the official specs but StarLabs is selling an active pen that’s “exclusively designed for the StarLite Mk V”

You mean the outdated piece of software that everyone (on Linux) used, which is slowly being replaced by multiple different implementations all based on the same standard? Seems to me like an apt (no pun intended) metaphor.

There is this concept called “crityhype”. It’s a type of marketing mascarading as criticism. “Careful, AI might become too powerful” is exactly that

Why should we be sorry. Russia brought this on themselves.

Izzyondroid (the weird 90s looking store) can be used with the (or any) fdroid client. You just have to add the repository in the settings. Fdroid builds all the apps from source themselves. You need to add a request for packaging and even after that it takes a bit of time until the app is approved. It seems nobody has requested the inclusion yet. Izzy on the other hand takes the developer build binaries and publishes. The requirements are lower to be included here. So apps tend to be in izzy first and then get eventually added to fdroid proper.
