Nice for the paranoid people, but this means false errors when there simply are no updates.

Very nice tool for usage and development!
Like.... the Intel ME?? And no BIOS seems to allow the switch to disable it, even though that was literally required after the NSA sued Intel?
Same on Thinkpad T495
They had this on their homepage, advertizing QKSMS and Bromite as if they were project apps. Which they are not.
So either A: they preinstall apps as system apps or B: they have some form of installer that installs them as normal user apps.
You should have as many apps as user apps as possible.
Maybe they changes this idk. But QKSMS is not a simple SMS app like the one that GrapheneOS implements (the old and hardly maintained AOSP one) and Bromite is an unmaintained Browser which is a huge problem. Cromite and Quik are maintained forks.
Some Archive when they still had Bromite on their page
Could not find QKSMS but that was somewhere
Could you recommend one?
And afaik not on Flathub...
(Feddit just started working again)
CalyxOS implements many random 3rd party stuff as if that was their own.
Apart from 2 (QKSMS and Bromite) being unmaintained, installing random apps as system apps (if this is what they do) means a system update may cause data loss for users, when removing those apps. And it has the problem of a way too high goal that can not be reached. They simply dont maintain those apps, so dont ship them.
There’s long been a very strong, racist tendency in the liberal environmentalist movement to blame ecological harm on the number of human bodies that exist. They want us to believe that earth’s degradation would cease if there were fewer people available to consume the fruits of industry and especially agriculture (which is where we get into nitrogen’s domain). We’re exposed to white men who rant about the “population explosion,” or the “population bomb,” phrases which draw easy but still potent double-meanings in the context of nitrogen. Obviously, these writers are stooges of the regime, pushing our discourse away from the real issues. They should be systematically ignored.
Yes, the total number of humans that exist at any one time has increased over the time of the reign of the dead god, and that’s not a coincidence or accident. But animal bodies, whether human or bovine or chicken, can create only so much ecological damage on their own: pre-industrially, they created none, as the ecosystem re-absorbed the ammonia from their shits. What matters is the subjecting of bodies, not just bovine but also chicken and fish and human, to ecological shortcuts and industrial expediencies of scale that arise from the capitalist imperative. What matters most of all is the amount and type of exosomatic energy that is applied to the means of production. What matters is energy in calories and kilowatt-hours. That’s what mattered when all energy was labor, and still matters today in the exosomatic regime.
It’s important to remind ourselves of scale, for which we can use Buckminster Fuller’s concept of “energy slaves.” Somewhere after Fuller, an energy slave was defined to be the energetic equivalent to a human working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, Fuller adopted the less-stupid standard of a healthy individual working 40 hours per week. That amounts to 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per week—it did then, and it does now; human bodies have not changed all that much. The American oil industry produces about 9 billion kWh per week, or about 3 billion energy slaves. (Never count consumption; always count production.) There’s no reason to divide that up per capita, since it’s the oil industry and not citizens producing all that energy. But if you did, it would work out to nine energy slaves for every human body, just from oil, not counting coal and gas. Unlike living bodies, these energy slaves are actually jinn that live within pollutant molecules and that bring pestilence upon our cities in one form or another.
Nonetheless, the population has increased, and that is because coal oil and gas could be mobilized to synthesize ammonia (NH3) without organic input, which is why this precedes an essay about Nitrogen.
Interesting, I will wait until it appears on Flathub and compare them!
I am looking for an app that allows me to combine up to 20 images into a grid. That's it.
Hard requirements:
- not bigger than 60MB (not bloated with useless stickers etc.)
- works properly, multiple grids, maybe adaptive to content, rectangle, resizable images inside the grid.
Soft requirements:
- no ads or creepy network stuff (GrapheneOS network toggle deals with that)
- latest target SDK
- support for share dialog OR android photo picker portal (instead of using their own filepicker and needing storage access)
- FOSS
So far I tried these apps, all garbage:
- Layout for Instagram (outdated)
- Collagemaker which is the same as This Collagemaker
- beFunky: share dialog broken
- Jubo Photo Collage maker
All have their own silly galleries and have a nonfunctional share portal.
Explanation: Apps dont need access to your storage to load content into their internal sandbox storage.
They can use the native android photo picker portal:
GIF (click if not playing)
Or they can catch media sent to them via the share dialog, from your trusted Gallery or Filemanager app.
Apps using a builtin Gallery suck, as they need access to all media (Android 14), specific folders (GrapheneOS) or even all storage (older Android) which is pretty invasive.
And yeah, Signal is still doing that.
This is a small Tutorial how to convert Konsole to never, I mean never, open a new window again.
I mean, we moved away from Windows for a reason, right?
Also, I will show you how to use a different shell and add custom right-click actions for various useful things.
No new windows
Go to Konsoles Settings, the second checkbox is "open all konsole windows in a single process". Check this, as it is needed.
Now to edit the system desktop entry, never do this in place, copy it to your user directory, entries here always overwrite system ones. (This can be used to hide apps too, use touch ~/.local/share/applications/name.desktop)
cp /usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Now edit this file with your editor.
Replace Exec=konsole with Exec=konsole --new-tab.
Profile: Different Shell
Bash is the default and I highly advise against using chsh if you want to use fish, zsh or others.
Instead, create a new Konsole profile, set its default command to for example /usr/bin/fish and set it as default profile!
Profile: Distrobox
If you use Distrobox, you may want a profile that launches it directly. The advantage is that you can color it differently and much more.
In the settings create a new profile and set the startup command to distrobox enter Boxname.
Mine is for Fedora, while my main system is Fedora Atomic KDE.
Custom right-click actions
You can remove unneeded translations from the desktop entry to make it easier to work with.
In the Actions= line you define what you want. Below the main entry you put the actions with name, icon and command.
Here I have examples for launching the Distrobox Profile, opening a root shell and opening a remote ssh session.
The complete desktop entry (click me to expand)
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
TryExec=konsole
Exec=konsole --new-tab
Icon=utilities-terminal
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=FedoraBox;root;ssh;
X-DocPath=konsole/index.html
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-Shortcuts=Ctrl+Alt+T
StartupWMClass=konsole
Keywords=terminal;console;script;run;execute;command;command-line;commandline;cli;bash;sh;shell;zsh;cmd;command prompt
Name=Konsole
GenericName=Terminal
Comment="$GenericName"
[Desktop Action FedoraBox]
Name=Distrobox
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Exec=konsole --new-tab --profile FedoraBox # this launches "distrobox enter FedoraBox"
[Desktop Action root]
Name=root Terminal
Icon=folder-root-symbolic
Exec=konsole --new-tab -e pkexec $SHELL #or define a shell like fish
[Desktop Action ssh]
Name=ssh to X
Icon=folder-remote-symbolic
Exec=konsole --new-tab -e ssh user@IP:PORT -i /path/to/key
Note that I removed the actions for "new tab" and "new window". For some reason Plasma shows the "open new window" always, and due to the replacement this opens a new tab instead.
Ctrl+Alt+t, opening from Dolphin and more will also open a new tab.
Btw, if somebody can help me figure out how to focus the Konsole window when opening a new tab, that would be nice. This is currently missing
