Nintendo lab 2.0

I have fairscan and OSS docs scanner installed. Fairscan has few parameters, You can choose where to save your PDF in the parameters.

OSS has a lot of parameters.

I find both Ok for my use. They are on f-droid, no account needed.

Not totally. My wife started a shared google calendar a few years ago. So I use davx⁵ to synchronise my old gmail account (only the calendar part). One day, I’ll convert her to another solution.

As I use some applications from the play store (with the open-source frontend from e/os, applounge) , I had to activate a few options from microG.

“Funny” news that bring me back to the last time I decided to switch to Linux.

I updated windows 10 and when my PC booted I got a full screen to setup edge. I wasn’t able to find any way to quit the screen. So I completed the set up and went to install Linux.

It’s crazy how they believe they own the PC of their customers… I mean, it’s in the name… Personal…

I use the second method on a phone using /e/OS, it works perfectly. I do not need any google app (maps, store, text to speech) to make it works.

I believe that justice should be the one punishing fascism. Antifas should stay self defence group. What they did here was murder. It gives right parties weapons against them.

In the case of Lyon, justice didn’t do shit for more than 10 years, that’s why antifas took over. I find this sad and dangerous.

Aside from the human drama, this death is useful to the right to play the victim and they cry that the lefties are the violents one. The liberals use this death to isolate the biggest left party in France.

As most of information channels and papers are owned by far right people, the murders from the far right are silenced (12 in the last 4 years ), and this one is used as a weapon against the left (some politicians went as far as accusing all the left parties to be a danger against democracy ).

Well the same party NPA says that Mélenchon isn’t against capitalism…

Poutou

Mélenchon himself says he is not:

Mélenchon

Mélenchon wants to reform capitalism not destroy it.

Reform capitalism

Yes, capitalism in its current form is at the verge of collapsing. So, yeah, better reform it that to have the wole economy collapsing.

"Extrême gauche " means “far left”. Which is not the same as radical.

Far left is against capitalism and believe than the revolution is not possible by voting.

LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties. They do not consider themselves as so.

The only parties that call them “far left” are the ones trying to discredit them to people that are afraid of far left.

This Guy shouldn’t have died and the people that killed him must be punished.

This said : he was part of a neo fascist group that commit violent acts (either racists or homophobic)… And as it was recently revealed : the so called feminist group is used to be a bait to attract anti fascist groups. Then their so so called security group just appear and beat the antifa.

Adding that nemesis (the so called feminist group) is nothing more than a fascist group that plays the victims while supporting racism and remigration. If nemesis was rallying it was because they wanted to disturb a political meeting, claiming that it was a islamic-lefty speech.

Again, this man should not have been beaten to death. The fact that it happened is not a surprise. This time it was him, regarding the alarming situation Lyon (the city where it happened) is, it could have been somebody else during the fight, or any other event.

I’m not legitimasing a murder in any way. I’m just trying to explain the situation that is more complicated than what most articles say. It is the results of more than a decade of inactions from governements that allowed the violence to grow. And now everybody seems surprise of the consequences.

but I can offer some de-googling friendly additions which I developed/contributed to :)

Thank you so much for your work !!! It made things so much easier for me when I started degoogling !!

I use a “degoogled” ROM with microG. And I use android auto “without” the play store.

By using the following tuto and without root, I’m able to use android auto without having its dependencies installed ( play store, maps, google tts…)

https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-run-android-auto-without-google-apps/64578.

It’s not an open source alternative to android auto, but it limits greatly the interaction with google. I have comaps and osmand from fdroid that works in the android auto app this way.

If you have google apps on your phone, maybe you can uninstall or deactivate the dependencies for AA, and follow the tuto, there is a chance that it works.

The signature and the random updates issues can be solved (partially) by using the izzyondroid repo. A lot of the applications on fdroid are on it. It compiles from sources, doesn’t change signatures, and fetch updates on a daily basis.

It doesn’t solve all the issues, but it can help

Murena ? as the murena foundation that develop /e/OS ? If yes, their OS is based on LineageOS microG edition with a great ad/tracker blocker and an app store that is kind of a fusion between the aurora store and fdroid (without the ability to add repositories unfortunately, in the version I used at least).

So you can install whatever apps you want with it(Except maybe android auto, I guess). I had my banking app and it worked well (until it detected I was root).

I used it with my oneplus 7, It had some big trouble these last months as their servers were outdated and they needed to update their whole infrastructure. Now, everything seems to be back to normal.

I can not say for their phones (murena 1 and 2), but their OS is solid to me.

What I love the most from bazzite team, is their work with distrobox . Install the distribution you love, follow their tutorial, boom, you get access to the AUR, and it has a minimal impact on your system.

Bazzite felt great to me, but too slow on my computer to enjoy it, so I hopped. But still, I love what they do.

7 months distro hopping sober here ! All thanks to CachyOS.

The installation is seamless thanks to calamares, there are some graphic tools that can help for beginners on arch. Their kernel might be one of the most optimised one to have a smooth experience while gaming. I do not play ressources hungry games, so I can not really tell.

After setting snapshots, I decided to experience it totally blind folded, just to see how long I can last on it. I update the system around 2 times a week, never read any changelog, just like any of the other distro I used… And for now, I’ve never had any trouble.

My system seems to be way smoother and more responsive than with fedora or tumbleweed.

I use my computer mostly for steam, heroic, librewolf and LibreOffice.

Vanilla gnome isn’t for me so I used to install some extensions when I used it.

After a few hopping, I stopped using Gnome, because I find that painful to :

• install the extension app (the one that allow you to download and manage the extensions, and that is usually not the one installed, it might have changed, as I stopped using Gnome for a year or even more)
• install the extensions I want
• configure the extensions

On KDE, I just have to set it as I need it.

If you do not change distributions everyday, then it’s not a big issue I guess.

But it might be troublesome for beginners trying distributions that have vanilla-close gnome to know that extensions exist. My needs are not complicated, so I only used extensions that allow me to have a dock on both of my screens, and to have the minimize button.

What an horror ! What are you gonna do ? Use your working system ? That’s sad…

Linux has been the biggest rabbit hole I’ve been in. There are too many distribution for me to choose one without testing as much as I can. It made me change what I wanted/needed. I went from “I don’t want to use CLI at all” to “man, GUI is too slow for that”.

I tried many Debian children and grand children distributions, Fedora based ones (Nobara, atomics bases,…), Opensuse, NixOS, Solus, arch based distributions…

Now, I’m on cachyOS, that seems to be the good balance I need (for now), between GUI/already configured and “I can do it the way I want”.

One year after starting using Linux, I’ve switched from a 3060ti to a 6700xt, just because it made hopping easier.

If you exclude me not being able to settle down on a distro, Linux is a funny experience to me. My needs are not that big, as I just play some games, have a light need of an office suite. I can do anything I used to to in windows, but without Microsoft and his friends looking above my shoulder.

I guess there is an option to activate to read DRM content (it exists on librewolf, not sure if it is there on Firefox too). it is activated ?
