(Not as scary as I look, I promise)

  • Right—just what I was about to say.

  • The police unions, especially in NYC, are extremely powerful. I wonder if there's some way ZM can appear to be working with them while reducing their power . . . 🤔

  • I do indeed use apt. I think that all of those are bona fide dependencies! I believe there was also a "recommended" part which listed a few other things that I didn't install. sudo apt autoremove should remove unneeded stuff, I believe, but doing it just now, it didn't find anything.

  • Just saw this, Android 2 Linux Notifications on F-Droid, anyone tried it yet? The question for my purposes, of course, will be whether or not it will show the content of the notifications, which I'll need for 2FA codes. Might just give it a try . . .

  • I find the KDE Connect display to be a bit clunky, but if you're on Cinnamon there are two applets which help to smooth out the experience a bit.

  • Ok, looks like messages deleted on the phone don't survive a laptop reboot, and undeleted messages do survive a laptop reboot. 👍

  • Got it up and running. Is there any way to delete SMS messages from the desktop? Even if I delete the messages from my phone they remain on the desktop.

  • The megabytes of dependencies it will bring in aren’t that big of a deal nowadays, considering we have terabyte-scale hard drives now.

    True, true. However:

Need to get 19.0 MB of archives. After this operation, 87.9 MB of additional disk space will be used.

    But, I would say you are correct, 87.9 MB isn't really all that much space in the greater scheme of things. Hopefully the version they have in the repos won't be too out of date. Maybe I will give it a try after all . . .

  • But isn't GS Connect just for GNOME? I'm using Cinnamon here.

  • Holy shit! That's their actual cover! Unbelievable. Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain it isn't meant as a compliment.

  • They can easily make a list of people prone to use anti-facial recognition that lives in or walks by certain areas then recognize them by body-type, height, walking rhythm…

    Which is why everyone should put stones in their shoes, especially if going to a protest. 🙂

    I know this has been brought up before, but it's a little unnerving to see posts and comments I've deleted on ml show up elsewhere in the Fediverse...
