Is there anything left of Saikou? I’ve been keeping it on Obtainium waiting for a potential rebirth
(Btw, tangentially related, anyone knows if there is any fork named “Saikope”? I’ve had that app installed for a long time and I don’t even remember where I got it anymore)
Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
I have some idea that the devs got DMCA notice from some company and they are trying to shutdown the forks as well. I also read that some extensions won’t work or need to be added from unofficial sources. So my question is how to get back to the smooth experience as before with trustworthy extensions and forks. If there is...
If you’re interested there’s Kotatsu as an alternative which also felt easier to use to me, still, I don’t know how all of these projects will fare in the long run when they all rely on GitHub
KDE has been a treat for me after having used Gnome so long, I like both and in fact I still keep Gnome on the laptop, especially for the smooth gestures.
On the desktop I’m keeping KDE as it feels more suited by default, for that I suggest Fedora Kinoite because I honestly can’t ever imagine running a mutable system anymore, unless it is strictly for tinkering and, since it seems you’re looking for something that has to just work, that will be a great fit!
::: ..Now to talk about what hasn't just worked for meI used to experience freezes and crashes, but don’t see them happening anymore (maybe it was my hardware being too new?); containers (mostly distrobox), I don’t know what the heck is happening behind the scenes, but I think I’ve seen my containers breaking for the third or fourth time across updates this year, luckily it’s not a tragedy as you can usually roll back the system temporarily (OSTree rocks!) and/or remake them from snapshots or apply fixes that are mentioned in the issue trackers and whatnot when they pop up, the podman devs and others folks are fast and responsive.
All in all, these being the biggest issues for me, this distro is one of the most rock solid there are!
For real, or when you should make the first and second commit.
Or worse, when you’re too focused and start making a ton of changes, then you realize you haven’t committed anything. Discovering I can stage ranges has made me fall for this way too many times, because I think I’ll easily just go back and extract one atomic change at a time later (spoiler: it won’t be easy ( ; ´ Д `))
And then everyone praises him for standing up against Google and Apple for crippling/banning third-party app stores, like, cool… but clearly he’s just chasing money, not doing it out of the goodness of his heart for us poor gamers
I don’t like so called smartphones (flashy devices to mine your data and other reasons) but my regular no touchscreen phone’s microphone is no longer working as it should, making conversations difficult....
I’d say a normal phone is a lot worse than smartphones in general, unless you don’t care about all your communications being readable by the carrier. With a smartphone you can make actually encrypted calls and texts over trustworthy applications/protocols (Signal, Matrix, Simplex, etc.), on a phone you’re stuck with the carrier service; another thing that comes to mind is the storage, as far as I know there are no normal phones with an encrypted filesystem while it is default for a long while on Android.
On the other hand, if your new smartphone model isn’t loaded with a privacy respecting ROM you’ll also have at least some data sent to other third parties like Google and whatnot, but if you can change the ROM, then the potential for better privacy far outweighs the benefits of normal phones doing fewer things with your data by default. If you’re going to use your new smartphone like an old phone, to make carrier calls and SMS, then there will be near to no improvements (except storage security maybe) and as you say, more data snooping
