There’s Librera FD, on F-droid. It’s the open source version of Librera on the google play store. I believe it strips out the google api/cloud stuff, but its db /reading status/etc are all easily synced via Nextcloud (which is what I do). The only real negative I’ve found with it is that it’s search for text in books is slow compared to more popular reading apps like Moon+ Reader.
This must be some weird American thing. I’ve gotten pixels on contract before in my country and I can OEM unlock and flash them no issue. If you don’t pay the cell carrier will just blacklist the IMEI. They don’t lock down the device itself.
Aegis is for Android, Ravio is an iOS app.
It is still possible if you have an old enough Kindle. I have a 1st gen paperwhite and can just connect it via USB to my PC and pull books off the kindle with Calibre and then remove the DRM.
Though if you’re wanting to remove DRM from Kindle Unlimited books, you’ll have to actually edit the DeDRM plugin code, as by default its set to not let it be run on KU books.
Have you tried adding it to Steam as a non-steam game and then forcing compatibility for it to proton experimental in Steam?
Basically any Fossil / Skagen (they’re the same thing) Hybrid (meaning e-ink) watch will work with Gadgetbridge. I personally have the Fossil Machine Gen 6 Hybrid which works great. Ignore the ‘Alexa’ bit, that does nothing via Gadgetbridge (and in fact you can just flat out remove that ‘app’ in the GB app). Heart Rate and Message/Notification/Call control functions all work fine. Step tracking works, but sleep tracking does not (Fossil doesn’t have it done on the watch, it’s done in their app, so until/unless GB replicates that functionality it won’t work).
I use a Fossil Hybrid watch with gadget bridge. Works really well, though one caveat is that while you can read and dismiss messages on the watch, you can’t reply from it. This isn’t a problem for my use case, but YMMV. The couple weeks of battery life is a great plus, though. (E-ink screen)
Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems… stupid?
The discussion thread for Fedora specifically stated that the change was requested by Red Hat, as well.
Shit like this is why I use a DeGoogled phone. Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS and use open source apps wherever you can, and sandbox any Google Play apps you have to use (banking, etc).
Especially with Red Hat’s current shenanigans that just recently happened. I can’t see how anyone thought this was a good idea OR good timing for it.
if you have TCP only and decentralized peers/peer exchange/local peers turned off in qbittorrent (a good security idea if you’re using a VPN to torrent already), you’ll get added security at the cost of less peers. Not to say that’s for sure what’s going on for you, but if you have sane settings for security, it could well be the cause of the discrepancy.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Try Organic Maps on F-Droid. It seems to have no anti-features and is pretty solid in general.
That’s truly odd, I’m running a Ryzen 5600G and a 6700XT and the game is rock solid (Fedora 38, Gnome, Wayland). Runs great on Steam Deck as well. I wonder if the RX580 is the culprit? If MESA is up to date, try a newer kernel for updated Radeon driver? (I assume as Ubuntu 22.04 is LTS that you’re on an older kernel)
You’ll be fine so long as you aren’t getting mass downloads of copyrighted material from your account.
YouTube wants to double dip by collecting and selling your data, and forcing you to either get served ads or pay them $15/month. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
It was in Test Flight, iirc, but the main dev stepped down and now I’m not sure whats going on with it.
Well, I originally used Jerboa as it does as well, but with the current version problems I had to do something else until it’s fixed.
That’s stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.
