Have a look at Heliboard. It’s open source. To get swipe you have to import a component that is extracted from GBoard that doesn’t come with the app, but it can be acquired from… places.

I have always been baffled by the aesthetics argument. There is anther city I sometimes visit and the best part of the drive is this stretch of highway that goes on for several miles where you are flanked by windmills. There are hundreds in total and to me they are borderline awe inspiring. Absolutely gorgeous.

Is it? Wouldn’t a bunch of homeless people in tents be worse?

Man, girls have all the fun :p

I’m sure you will be keeping me good company. The gains that the PVV and other right wing groups have made aren’t unique or a fluke. They are following the same playbook. Danger might be closer than you think.

I find the “… sell for so little” part to be the bull shit part. I’m currently renting a house. My landlord, that owns multiple properties across the city, recently offered all of their tenants the opportunity to buy their houses. The records are public, they bought the house a little after Covid and did some fixing up. They are asking for nearly 3x what they paid for it.

Now they actually did a good job compared to some horror shows I have seen, but not 3x the cost as good. I’m not opposed to people making a small profit off of a property, that amount is just pure greed. At current interest rates buying the house would make my monthly housing costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, PMI, etc.) more than rent currently. They could have literally thrown out a price that would have resulted in my monthly housing costs exactly match rent and still made a ludicrous profit, but fuck that apparently.

What baffles me about individual homeowners who are happy their home has appreciated so much and would be upset if the value suddenly dropped is how short sighted it seems. Taxes exist (as they should). If the cost of homes keeps outpacing the rise in wages at some point it doesn’t matter how valuable the home is, they won’t be able to afford the taxes.

But what the fuck do I know, I’m just some pleb surf that doesn’t think something like housing should be viewed as an investment vehicle.

I’m not a fan. It’s probably friendlier to an average user, but I feel like the information and actionable item density is much lower than before.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Have fun.

This is one of the actually decent uses of this model. I have used Whisper to transcribe to phone calls, and just the other week I had to export the audio from a video I was working on to run whisper to get subtitles for the video. It’s still not a set it and forget it solution, but correcting it’s small mistakes here and there is so much faster than manually transcribing the audio.

Given how modular ffmpeg is with the way the switches work a user never has to interact with that portion of the application. I can technically use ffmpeg to trsnscode an mp3 without ever using the video components.

I figured I’d pick the man. That way I have bait or a distraction when the bear shows up 😅

Big same. I’m mildly autistic, in addition to being a (mostly) straight cis white dude, and generally leaving people the fuck alone is usually pretty high on my priority list. Chief among them being afraid of misreading a situation or intentions and my own being misinterpreted. Intellectually I’m aware of how shitty a lot of the male population is, but I can’t emotionally understand how they think it’s OK.

It’s also frustrating because their actions end up effecting me because I am often treated by women based on what I am rather than what I have done or said.

That’s what I’m sayin’! I’m mildly autistic and not very good socially. Even if I want to be there it can be difficult. Tending to the fire is a way I get to participate.

I’m an absolute slut for jackets and coats. I have more than enough to fit just about any weather or event, but I still get excited when I see one that is somehow slightly different than any of the other ones I have.

That’s nice. I wish a security token was also an option, but it doesn’t appear they have any intention of implementing that. I don’t like the idea of using biometrics for anything specifically because of law enforcement and how there I can be compelled to provide biometric data. A security dongle is almost the same, but with the “advantage” that a little bit of security through obscurity can be implemented since they not only have to know a token is required, but also which one.

Technically that’s also a disadvantage in that a security token can be lost vs biometric, but that’s the risk profile I would personally prefer.

It would be nice if there was a way to use 2FA to unlock a phone. Using a password in combination with biometric or NFC token. That would also allow for the use of an emergency pin as well.

Ah, fair enough.

It’s also your fault for not telling your leaders to boycott, sanction, or otherwise ostracize the US rather than sucking up to them. What are you doing to insure your country is free from all influence from that shit hole?

Are either of those accessible from the GUI in a fresh default install? I know exactly where in Windows to find that control panel (granted they make it more convoluted to get to in every successive version), but I don’t know how I would do it with just what the OS provides in either Mint or Kubuntu (the two distros I have the most familiarity with).

I have only been rocking Linux as a daily driver for a year or two now though, so it could just be a gap in my knowledge.

Oorah!
