What exactly do you want it to do? You can implement TOTP with a 10 line python script and I probably have a few of those kicking around. I’ve ended up doing that at least a couple of times.

Use a medic alert bracelet if you need something like that. EMTs are trained to look for it. They aren’t going to derp around looking at your phone.

I set up ZNC and got it working but it was a pain in the neck, took some trial and error, and the docs were confusing. Once I got it going I basically left it alone rather than try to clean up the situation.

This is about installing on a Nexus 5 which is from 2013. Sounds painful.

Does gnu bc have outstanding bug reports? If not, it doesn’t need updates. Its spec was frozen 30 years ago, more or less. Rather than unmaintained, I’d call it maintenance-free. BIFL software as it were. Sounds great to me.

Seems like a whine, bc is an interactive tool and it’s unusual to use it for anything where its response isn’t instant.

GNU bc is one of the oldest GNU tools and it uses an MP library that RMS banged out in an afternoon or two, I think. It could probably be adapted to use GMP which is very high performance.

Preferring GPL to other licenses seems fine with me, unless I want to work for Amazon without getting paid.

I use autotools and don’t remember having such issues.

We have supercomputers in our phones. They can handle it.

Gnus.el

Contacts and dialer should maybe be merged. It’s nice to be able to call someone and make notes in that person’s contact page during the call.

Is there some obstacle to writing them? Special SDK privileges or anything like that? Seems like a good thing to degoogle if possible.

I’ve been fairly happy with K9 but if they are about to Mozillify it, I will check out FairEmail.

1. is it on F-droid? 2) Material You sounds awfully trendy, should I worry? 3) Does Swift anything to do with Apple?

I’m pretty happy with the ordinary text editor except I wish it had a one-tap way to insert the current date and time.

should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support

Nah, there’s no need to wait.

It took me some moments to figure out that this is an Android launcher. Nice. I guess it will be on droid at some point.

Things just weren’t like that then. Otherwise all PC peripherals would be locked down too, so no device drivers. That was already a problem with cheap windows crap. But the better stuff was documented.

Maybe there would be no Linux but that isn’t as bad as it sounds, since BSD Unix was being pried loose at the time, plus there were other kernels that had potential. And the consumer PCs we use now weren’t really foreseen. We expected to run on workstation class hardware that was more serious (though more expensive) than PCs were at the time. They would have stayed less locked down.

Asded: PCs were an interesting target because there was a de facto open hardware standard, making the “PC compatible” industry possible. So again, without that, we would have used different hardware.

Thinkpad Yoga?

Get a USB hub (7 port is common), plug the USB drives in, then run a script that copies the iso to one drive after another. USB itself sucks enough that trying to do them in parallel is likely asking for trouble.

I’ve never felt the need for it and didn’t know what it was til just now. dd’ing image files to USB drives has worked fine for me.

Does termux not already do this?
