I use a refurbished 10tb HDD for my server too and it works just fine

I don’t use glide typing, so I didn’t even notice that 😅

But text prediction and glide typing are being rewritten from the ground up currently, so it’ll be there eventually

I use Florisboard Beta with the FloriStyle theme (It’s a Gboard theme). The only thing I really miss with it is text predictions but they’re still working on that and it’s not that big of a deal.

The way it works is that you need a proprietary app (in the past it was on PC and you had to connect the phone over USB, now it’s an app on the phone) where you log in with the Xiaomi Account that is also logged in on your phone. Then you “request” a bootloader unlock and after a week or so you can do the same thing again and it unlocks the bootloader. My guess would be that it uses encryption on the phone in some way and the server sends the decryption key. I also just thought that the process is so tedious that someone should have come up with a way to circumvent it already but maybe no one wanted to invest the time since it was possible that way. Either way, I don’t have experience with this kind of thing, so I’m not really the person to figure it out.

Based on how much HyperOS (and the fucking name) sucks, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader. I really hope someone does soon because I really don’t want my dad to continue getting tortured by having to use it.

So that’s why unlocking the bootloader on my dad’s phone doesn’t work. This really sucks, I hope there’s some other way to do it because HyperOS is straight ass.

Using the iGPU might save power but the resolution doesn’t need to be turned down for that

Any advantage to using Orca Slicer over PrusaSlicer? Basically the main reason I use PrusaSlicer is just cus it’s on flathub

I have a Sovol SV06, which normally uses an SD Card but I flashed Klipper on it and connected a Rasperry Pi to it (which is connected to my network via ethernet) and now I also have a web interface and can just upload the files and start the print from there.

Since it’s using the Raspberry Pi instead of the built-in microcontroller for all the calculations, it’s also a lot more accurate.

I just use Blender. Any advantage to using FreeCAD?

Freetube just loads the videos from YouTube directly if you don’t activate the proxy option (which will use Invidious or Piped, haven’t used Freetube in a while so idk which one it was)

DNS should be working, I manually set the DNS server. I don’t really wanna install docker tho, I feel like that could cause other issues. If it only works in docker, that doesn’t really help me anyway, does it?

No, is that required?

There’s @loops@pixelfed.social, which is getting a beta release soon

There’s a lot of FOSS music apps that just use YTMusic, like ViMusic or the ones other people mentioned in their replies. For maps, I use Organic Maps, the only thing I feel like is missing from it is traffic jams but I think you can see why that would be hard to add. It does have features that Google Maps doesn’t have tho.

But wasn’t the point of the post that it should, in theory, be possible to use a single account for all the different services by having a client that supports them all, since these different services federate with each other? I don’t know if that’s currently possible without making changes on the backend but if you need different accounts for each service, even if it’s handled on the back-end, that kinda goes against the whole point of the post, no?

I know, I was just replying to the part I was quoting. Point is, hosting that web client wouldn’t be an issue.

But where would a unified Web client run in the first place? It would have to be installed on a Web server and, from there, access the Web servers of the various different server apps which would still be entirely different and independent installations.

There are already web clients for the fediverse, like Photon for Lemmy

But also, considering that at one point in Tumblr’s history, you could edit other people’s posts, maybe it is an improvement.

What 😭

If you buy a used one, you can probably get it a good but cheaper as well
