  • Pretty much

  • They don't choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a "gatekeeper" has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Threema, Signal and co simply aren't interested.

  • Because its not. OP made a post on Mastodon and crossposted it to Lemmy by @ing the community. I'm not sure this wasn't by accident

    An Update on Stop Killing Games

  • And if you don't have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.

    For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.

  • I think the main problem is, that it solves a problem, that shouldn't exist in the first place. If OEMs would build (and ideally also upstream) proper drivers, then we wouldn't need a translation layer

  • And one of the other investors is Jared Kushner

  • I'd argue that Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish are the most mature offerings. Both OSs are (or at least were at some point) developed as commercially viable alternatives to the duopoly. That gives them a headstart in terms of apps and overall pollish.

    The postmarket shells are catching up, but you still get instructions like "drag and drop a file from your file manager to open it", which doesn't work on a phone. Phone UX still seems like an afterthought in many cases.

    Postmarket OS is a desktop Linux system, but for phones. UT and Sailfish on the other hand are mobile OSs, that happen to use much of the same tech as desktop Linux. They are therefore much closer to the duopoly (for bettet or for worse).

  • I found pipx the easiest way to install and manage a current ytdlp installation

     sudo apt update
        
    sudo apt install pipx
    pipx ensurepath
    
    pipx install yt-dlp
    
      

    Yes I know, it's an additional package manager, but it actually is a package manager and will therefore ensure the setup is correct

  • The feature is called "WiFi Tethering" and is available on most Android systems (sometimes OEMs or carriers disable it)

    On iOS it should enable if you've got a hotspot active and connect your device to your computer via USB

  • Resolve is not available as a flatpak so distrobox would be your only option to get it running on a atomic distro.

    But in general flatpaks are more secure than distrobox containers. Flatpaks are sandboxed. Apps can request access to different parts outside the sandbox through so called portals. Portals are basically like the permission system on your phone. But not all portals are finished yet so apps can get way more permissions in the name of user friendliness. There are third party tools like flatseal, that manage permissions though.

    Distrobox on the other hand doesn't have any of that. Apps can access your entire home directory and a bunch of other stuff if they want

  • You could replicate this workflow by replacing iCloud with Nextcloud and Time Machine with Timeshift.

    The iOS app for Nextcloud allows the automatic upload of photos, you just need an account with a Nextcloud provider (or just host your own instance).

    Timeshift is preinstalled on a bunch of distros, including Linux Mint, and can be installed on all other major ones. See https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift for details.

  • Not necessarily. Both have their drawbacks. It takes longer for new hardware to be supported on Debian and setting up a Nvidia grafics card is more complicated

  • You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It's what I use for my setup.
