there's this ios app called feeeed by the great @nate@mstdn.social, and it has to be one of the most beautiful apps ever made. the idea of rss readers is implemented perfectly, with great thought and care.

There is now a on the go section in Flathub to promote mobile games
What makes these “mobile apps”? Are they special versions optimized for phones?
They are enabled to (also) run on phones.
What does “enabled” mean?
Fractal can e.g. scale down to mobile:
Hey, Fractal looks pretty cool. Might just replace Element.
Lacks many features atm, eg VoIP, matrix call, threads, etc. Still very promising and I like that it is written in Rust.
I like Commet
Are these your screenshots? If so, what hardware and OS are you running, out of curiosity?
Mereko bhi acknowledgement chayie!
mai bhi kuch banaat hu fir post karta to @dhanashree ki acknowledgement mil sake
my main laptop runs windows because of crappy college requirements (and because i don’t want people seeing what i work on when i connect it to a projector). my other machines usually run pop os or debian. on windows, i use wsl2 most of the time.
i tried syncing vimwiki with syncthing, but ios restrictions (no background apps!) and the lack of working port forwarding on wsl2 made it a dead end. i even tried installing syncthing on windows and syncing the folder directly through the wsl2 directory—no luck there either.
after a lot of trial and error, i finally found a solution that works! i set up a cron job on debian wsl2 to copy my vimwiki files to a windows directory every night at 9 pm. from there, they sync to my other devices.
a thrilling weekend.
@tsturm
Every hacker feels that way for a while, but then Terry made TempleOS, and that takes the burden off the rest of us.

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martialarts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the one thing that really puts true world-class badmother-fuckerdom totally out of reach, of course, is the hydrogen bomb. If it wasn't for the hydrogen bomb, a man could still aspire. Maybe find Raven's Achilles' heel. Sneak up, get a drop, slip a mickey, pull a fast one. But Raven's nuclear umbrella kind of puts the world title out of reach.
Which is okay. Sometimes it's all right just to be a little bad. To know your limitations. Make do with what you've got.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.
