Do you use that old laptop for anything else? That is probably drawing a huge amount of power just to reverse tether the phone, could definitely be accomplished with a extremely low power SBC nowadays

That is the example they gave in the article…

You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone

I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.

Yes, the core version was unusable because of the battery drain

Totally fair enough if that’s their main source of income. On a related note jira plugins are such a scam. I want poker planning for my team of 10 buts its going to cost me $100 a month because the marketing team also use jira and there’s no way to pay only for one team!

The chicken egg came before the chicken, as the thing that laid the chicken egg was not quite a chicken

There may be a way to organise a library in place but I’m not home until tomorrow so can’t check at the moment

This repo is a joke, lots of copyrighted code that shouldn’t be there (dolby, shout cast)

I use Strawberry for managing my music library. Easily organises files into directories and can manage multiple different libraries (I have separate libraries for music I want to dj with and music for general listening)

That sounds very frustrating!

Isn’t the latest version of gtk gtk4?

I’ve used it several times since it was launched and it’s always the saving that is a bit awkward. It is a great tool though. I’m using obsidian now purely for it’s simplicity

Just been using Gmail in the browser

Haven’t used thunderbird in a long time but it looks really nice! Might give it a go again

Same, it is super super useful

It is literally a zip file. If I remember correctly you have to write some xml which describes the layout of the skin and then include any images you need, you then zip it and change the file extension to wsz. So really you could put anything in a skin.

Apple’s constant anti-interoperability stance is the core reason I do not and will not own their products
