That’s super easy to fix with tools like entr. That’s what I use when I write Markdown documents so I can automatically generate the plain text file to a PDF document using Pandoc, and preview it simply by saving the file in Neovim. :)

Neovim. No other editor comes close to it.

You need to add some sort of context. Posting a single link without even a title explaining what it is, makes it look like random spam.

I’ve been using XMPP the past two decades. I use it because I haven’t found something that’s better.

:D

It’s as simple as:

echo "example.ogg >> mixtape.m3u

While they’re technically the same type of software, it’s still sort of like comparing apples to oranges.

VLC is your kitchen skink media players that comes bundled with basically everything possible.

mpv is more of a minimalist media player that let’s the user add the features themselves using add-ons.

Me personally prefer mpv since it’s minimal in every regard. I have turned of the OSC, and I use the keyboard for everything. I don’t use a lot of extras, but the ones I have, is add-ons I couldn’t probably live without, like yt-dlp and SponsorBlock (for YouTube).

I even use mpv as my music player with playlist that I manage using Neovim and the tool echo (to add new tracks to my playlists).

That’s exactly what I said? A ROM with a backdoor is a malicious ROM.

AFAIK. The only security risk with this is that anyone with physical access to your phone could flash a malicious ROM on it.

This shouldn’t be an issue for most people. And I’m pretty sure that those who cares about this runs GrapheneOS anyway.

This has never been about the kids. It’s about slowly eroding privacy for all of us.

Context for anyone else who’s not from the US:

You’re forced to use a phone number and a phone from Google or Apple. Do I have to say more? This is not a claim. It’s a fact. Well. Unless something has changed?

I have never whined, but I can see how you wish that would be true. ;)

And, my apologies, if I have somehow hurt your feelings. It was never my intention to do so.

Haha! I appreciate your refreshing honesty, and I reward you with an upvote. ;)

Don’t use Signal if you care about privacy.

I went with ZigBee only devices to avoid crap like this. Matter is, for some reason, very popular and I don’t understand why, it seems shady at best.

There’s a simple solution to this issue: Delete your Google account, or even better, don’t create a Google account to begin with!

It was a sponsorship and Proton’s PR team accepted him. It’s likely that they made a mistake, and that what’s matter. Their product is based on trust, you can’t afford to make mistakes like this. Or other mistakes like the previous incident.

You shouldn’t use a VPN provider that doesn’t let you use Wireguard. If they require you to use their own client, they’re either up to no good or just dumb and shouldn’t be in this business to begin with.

Proton has sponsored some French (?) rasist person recently. They have apologised for it and said it was a mistake. However. This is not the first stupid thing they’ve done.

PS. I’m no way a fanboy of anything. While I have been a Mullvad user for multiple years now, it seems like I have to reconsider that.

Proton has done some questionable things as well. The most recent is this.
