It’s not as slick looking but take a look at Ubooquity. I have it on my Linux server and haven’t had any issues. Granted I mostly use it for sharing ebook files, not reading them on the server itself so it might not be what you’re looking for

Typo graphy 😎

Proprietary software I use on a regular basis with no Linux alternative:

Revit, AutoCAD, Houdini, 3dsMAX, SolidWorks, Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign (and/or their Affinity alternatives), CUDA optimized simulation and rendering plugins, etc.

I use at least one of these every day, almost none of them have any functioning compatibility with Wine or other emulation. Even just using Affinity has caused some issues with team projects when someone picks up where I left off and there’s no layer information and a ton of clipping groups instead.

If all you do with your computer is program, work with documents, use a web browser, and play video games sure go wild don’t use Windows on any of your machines. But I just don’t understand how some people in the FOSS community cannot fathom that there are entire professional workflows and industries that just have zero possibility of moving to Linux.

Do I like using Windows? No. But I do like being able to use all the programs my work and research requires.

I contribute actual, tangible research into FOSS CAD/CAM/BIM software development and implementation. I love it and want to see FOSS options grow and become widely adopted. But it just isn’t anywhere close to having feature parity. And that matters, just as much as industry interoperability matters.

I’m just so tired of this thought process in the community that the only reason someone isn’t using Linux/FOSS is because they’re some fanboy or something

The common standard for audiobooks isn’t FLAC or WAV, it’s chapter track MP3 or chapterized M4B. The vast majority of audiobooks are encoded at 64 or 128 kbps. I wish the minimum was 128kbps but that’s where the audiobooks community has been for like a decade now.

I tried a couple on the market- the flange ones hurt my ears over time, I think the loops are kinda a scam. If either go custom fit if you have the money/insurance or get earasers. They aren’t flanged, have multiple sizes and filtering strengths, and you can buy replacement silicone sleeves for cheaper and keep the filters you already bought. They’re also very nice people. I had an issue with the fit in one of my ears and called them up and chatted about it, and they got me a return, a different size, a different filter strength all turned around in a few days.

If I had insurance I’d probably get custom molded but the flexibility and the price of the earasers are very good. I have a max filter and sleep filter set and they work great. They’re also super discrete, I don’t think people can even tell when I have them in

I switched over to MacOs about 3 months ago now for dev work and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. Except when there are weird hiccups, but they’ve been getting better as I get more familiar with it

Which Mac are you running on? I haven’t gone through the game porting kit setup yet because it seemed like a real pain in the ass and I want confident the performance would be worth it in the end on my m2pro

So I have a Mac and an iPad but a pixel phone and I’m about to do some international travel. I passed on getting a tile because of the smaller network. Do you think airtags have been useful for you without having an iPhone?

I have used Foxit/Phantom both personally and professionally for years now with no complaints
