maybe, but I am not so maybe that is why

Not exactly 1 to 1, but it is also possible to use Jellyfin for this purpose.

My PC also has Firefox on it. Is it a Firefox Machine? But it also has Steam. Is it a Steamfox Machine?

Richard Stallman, is that you?

Feeling lonely more often that I like to.

The actual webview that is dead https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/maps

This fork is active and fixes stuff if something is broken, so at the very least it will be alive a little longer. Last release was 5.0, 2 months ago, with fixes for street view.

Gmaps wv is a dead project

Meh, not really. It is absolutely not dead for my usecase, for example. You still have streetview to some extend, still more full information about some places compared to OpenStreetMaps, photos, reviews of places, sometimes more correct pathways. So not exactly dead project.

It will become dead once google will entirely block anonymous access ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Google is actively breaking anonymous access to gmaps, so those things are also breaking

Yes, I am aware of that, but until google completely make not possible to use their maps anonymously — something akin to gmaps webview will have its use.

Contirbuting to open-source, open data and so on!

For example, why not contribute to OpenStreetMaps? You will help others and also will be going around your city more, possible discovering more interesting stuff :)

Or why not contribute to OpenFoodFacts? Adding prices, updating data, fixing wrong data - so much fun! And useful.

Or did you know that there is open review system, including places on openstreetmaps, companies, books? https://mangrove.reviews/ It is notably used in CoMaps. You can check plaes that you had been in and inform people about good/bad aspects of said place!

And more! Making world a slightly better place together.

• gmaps wv is out of development for 4 years now and doesn’t work very well anymore.

There is actually active fork of gmaps webview, which works fine (for now anyway): https://github.com/woheller69/maps

That is great, keep on on keeping on!

I don’t agree that german is a beautiful language

I recently got a chance to talk here, on Lemmy, with a German, who describe German language as, and I quote:

“But german itself sounds like two machine-guns having sex.”

for all its Artikel and grammatical complexity

For people who are already know languages that are gendered and quite complex (which is true for… Quite a lot of languages actually) this is not a hard part. Most of the stuff is already exist in other languages in one way or shape. You just need to wire concepts from your language to German, which surprisingly is working, for the most part.

The problem is, that most of this concept in German language does not rely on some logic to follow or consistency, but rather RULES, EXEMPTIONS TO RULES, and remembering everything, because it is the only way.

Example of this is gendered words aka Artikels. You have words Apfel. That’s it. How do you know it is “he”? You don’t, you need to remember. You don’t have anything to guess or using simple solution to deduct gender. There is one oh many rules like “alcoholic beverages are him” with exception of beer because it is “it”. And that is how it work in German language.

Recently we started learning such weird concept as “verbs of moving” which determine if it going to be “ich habe etwas gekauften” or “ich bin nach Hause gekommen”. How to I differentiate? I do not know, but apparently “tanzen” is not about moving, despite the idea of dance is to move, so it is “habe”, not “bin” ☹️

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I don’t know how they are known in English speaking world, sorry! Also I think majority of people not interested in any of that, so we probably did not lose much in this case.

Can confirm, too. I am not German, just learning it due to my living situation, but this language feels like getting beaten in a dark alley. I though my language is complex on all this grammatical, syntax and so crap, but nope.

Ahh, okay, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Seems like Ukrainian did changed slightly from this times, hehe. But this one is not that highly known or popular, I would say. You here can much often hear about УПА and Правий Сектор.

Can you perhaps send a picture it? I maybe remember seeing it somewhere.

Ukrainian anarchist flag?

While cellwriter is long dead, it is still fairly working.

It just requires you to use X11 session and programs. In some distribution (especially on distributions where maintainers patch cellwriter) it might eve somewhat work under Wayland sessions. Ad, also, it requires you to manually build your own database for each individual symbol. Program does not come with ready-to-be-used set of symbols.

As for recognition quality, especially for multi-language with different writing set (e.g. Cyrillic and Latin) scenarios, and general usability… Uh, not that great, even when program does work.

(I, as original poster, also was looking for a solution, but to this day never found one. This is one of things where Linux suck ass.)

I could chip in. (Even if 9 days later)

Anyone else have similar experiences?

Yes. I went with this experience, at the very least, twice, during 2014 and 2022. It is just how it is.

Yes, bombs are falling, people who you happened to know are dying (think like your classmates who you never talked to), your favourite places getting erased from a face of the Earth.

But what else there? Unless everyone going to wake up and do something with anything — things will stay like that for a long time. And since world still functioning, almost like it used to, you still need to learn, love, work, stuff like that. War does not stop that, for better or worse.

I can not say, if that how it should be, however. I can not recommend anyone being in wars.

Nope.

syncthing: Kommando nicht gefunden

As far I am aware - there is no other packages related to syncthing is avaliable in distro repositories and this one not included by distro by default.

UPD: there also appears to be syncthing-tools package in repos, but it is also not included in mine system by default and I never installed it myself.

The only trace of Syncthing on my system is… well, from that flatpak. And unless I missunderstund how any of that works, syncthing is included in flatpak and you can look for it in its manifest file: https://github.com/flathub/com.github.zocker_160.SyncThingy/blob/a786450f1305474e71c1f33c468ff3dc5758e238/com.github.zocker_160.SyncThingy.yml#L42 It takes syncting release from https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases and adds it to build process.

Maybe this is true for SteamOS, but I am mostly was replying about “great at that, but it takes a lot to get around the immutability without relying on unmaintained flatpaks”. I use immutable Distro, there is maintained syncthing available as Flatpak, and i did not experienced any problems related to using immutable distribution with syncthing specifically, so eh.
