There’s a dozen apps for it, but I wouldn’t trust them to do a perfect job. At a bare minimum, you’d probably need to keep said app up to date at all times, and it’d need to be one that runs in the background or runs on every boot or something.
I say this a lot, but “nomacs” image viewer/editor. I take a lot of time lapse videos and I have directories of like, 50000 identically-sized images each on a smb server over gigabit ethernet and nomacs can open from a directory and quickly cycle through the photos using the arrow keys, without resetting the current pan/zoom setting (important for me), without any trouble. It takes about as long to open the directory of photos as it takes for my samba client to download the directory data.
It also has a lot of cool little quality of life features, including lots of shortcut keys for overlaying metadata and such. It has basic image editing capability as well. The only other image viewer I use is digikam, which is more for organizing personal photos. Otherwise it’s all nomacs, baby.
I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?
Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.
I would argue that MS Office feels like it’s from the last century as well. Even the newest versions of it feel like it was made by people who have never had to use it.
Never connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don’t do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.
Weird… yt-dlp -f “ba” url
Never need to use one of those horrible malware laden download sites again…
Vimeo seems to have a different demographic in mind.
The site has plenty of good content, just no way to find it.
I’m trying to move in this direction. I used to use Amazon mostly out of convenience and because they could get uncommon, hard to find stuff to me within 2 days when buying anywhere else would take 1-2 weeks. Now that they regularly fail to even get stuff to me when they say they will, and they are as generally evil as they are, I’m trying to get into the habit of buying from anywhere else.
I know ebay is fairly evil too, but I try to buy them from them if I need something oddly specific. If not, I go local.
I avoid “next day” shipping because it seems like every time I choose it, they mess it up and it takes 3-4 days due to some unnamed “problem”.
I agree. I’m very grateful to OSS developers. I use almost exclusively OSS software every day at this point, and it wouldn’t be possible without the countless people devoting countless hours of their valuable time to these projects.
So, a question to devs, especially for smaller, more approachable projects: I have a minor (plus a bit more) in CS, a lifetime of casual coding, but never really built anything larger-scale than a C-based sh-like shell in one of my CS courses, or many years ago an IRC front-end for a chatbot engine. Mostly I just write scripts (sometimes kinda complex), or small C/C++ projects. I would try to contribute to a project directly, but I don’t want to step on toes, and most projects have people who are deeply intertwined in the code of the project. It feels impossible to get involved in any way other than testing without possibly just annoying people who have been doing it for years. I’ve known enough intimidating grizzled *nix guru people to make me paranoid that I’ll just get in the way.
How do you get a foothold in a project? Should I just start with creating my own OSS project, and once I get somewhere where I’m familiar with the flow and project management and such, then I can consider contributing more to other projects?
Or is it really more helpful to the community to just test stuff, create documentation, answer questions, etc? Would becoming another dev be more helpful to OSS, or would working on supporting projects in these other ways be more helpful?
I like discreet launcher. So many oss launchers don’t support installing web apps from browsers, but it does, and it keeps my home screen clean. Only thing i don’t like is that it flows icons as a list, so if you, say, remove an app early on the list, it moves all the apps after it back one.
No. Worked for a facility that did lethality testing on various animals for potential drugs. I recognize the need for such things, but it wore on me until I had to quit.
Dunno why it works well when anysoft swipe barely worked for me, but https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard is a version of open board with swiping
Also, anysoft requires Google play store to download recent binaries…
Osmand is better for me, because there are custom maps generated with openaddresses data. I live in the us and the default osm data doesn’t contain addresses. I use these for osmand: https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation/releases

I wonder if it will get forked by anyone.
Their swipe needs a lot of work. You must start on the correct letter. It will base the rest of the word off of the first letter, so if you fat-finger it at all, it will get the wrong word. Sometimes it also just doesn’t give you any suggestions and you have to swipe/type it over again. It really needs some fuzzy searching algorithm to help with thumb typing/swiping.

I’m a bit frustrated with them. They don’t seem to be very committed to deGoogling, which is their prerogative I guess, but if not, why bother making an open keyboard? Basically if you want to use a version of the app that actually works relatively well, especially with swiping, you need to download the beta or alpha version, which require joining a Google Group and using Google Play to download.
I’d go for Jellyfin over Plex myself.
