Agreed! When everything is actively against us, we must band together against everything.

I think I've seen this plot in the movie I Am Legend.

If you have a factory pixel, you don't need to root. You can unlock bootloader and install a rom that has it (calyxos or grapheneos I know have them). You can root, but you don't have to.

Didn't know that. Just been manually rebooting. This is is much easier and more secure. Thanks!

Is this different than Charging Control? I'm on 7 Pro CalyxOS and have been using that since I was on 4 XL [a couple years ago]. I figured it was AOSP...

Edit: added a cleared timeline.

Take my angry upvote hahahaha

I saw the name, and immediately thought, "sweet! Another kde tool!" Then finished reading the title lol Looks like a good editor nonetheless

Edit: requires access to manage storage, which is excessive for a text editor. Pretty sure it has to do with its other features, which is fine, but I don't feel comfortable with this type of access for any third party app. If you're fine with this access, Xed/Karbon really looks useful. I might add it to my coding tablet.

Not really fear mongering, when Microsoft has proven that the "for now" is held up. Like the whole Recall fiasco. They canceled it "for now", and now it's published. Their "for now" is actually "for just right now, until heat subsides". Microsoft can go suck on a tailpipe.

I don't agree with all of this. I agree with the investigation. I agree with the ban. I don't agree with waiting for anything. Ban it, irrespective of the investigation. It's a cesspool, and no investigation is going to fix that.

Edit: autocorrect.

GPT4All and Jan.AI are good places to start.

You also use Signal :fistbump:

So, I've been getting a lot of 429 errors as of late. Today, I came across this post by one of the Teddit instance admins. The reason for the 429, is the same API restrictions that killed the apps. Teddit is dying.

I still use Reddit for searches, unfortunately, considering much of the world's IT knowledgebase is on there. Since before the Reddit spez-out, I was using Teddit on PC or Slide/Infinity on mobile. Now that Teddit is being so severely limited by the API debacle that it has instances shutting down, I find myself asking: what Reddit front-ends still work?

Regrettably, I can't not use Reddit for work, though I don't participate or even log in, but I REALLY don't want to give Reddit the traffic.

 
 

My daily is the kb below. Keychron C1, Fekker Panda switches, foam mod, o-rings, GSA keycaps.

Nothing special, but a very pleasant typing experience.

The above kb is a Moergo Glove80. I'm still getting used to it, so it's not my daily.

This was inside the bill of a baseball cap with the word "MARINES" on the front. I tried changing the batteries, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Does anyone know what this is?

It has a button on one side. But new batteries didn't reveal it's purpose. I'm thinking it's too corroded now to work. I know that round thing is a simple speaker or buzzer, but I don't know (a) what sound it's intended to make and (b) why it was sewn into the bill of a baseball cap.

Internals, image 1:

Internals, image 2:

External, backside:

Cap pictures:

Edit: added images of the internals.

Edit 2: added a small description of the button, and why I didn't just test it with new batteries (I did, but it doesn't work). So, basically, all I know.

Edit 3: added a picture of the backside of the casing.

Edit 4: Adding pictures of the cap itself.

Thank you, everyone, for all of your input. If I'm ever able to get this thing working, I'll add a video of the device and it's audio.
