Thanks, that is a very kind offer!

The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)

That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?

Ah, true. I honestly think we need to get to a point where smartphones intended for use with linux are profitable / widespread.

But that’s a catch 22 with UX and HW both being required for companies to invest in the other.

They don’t let you anymore, do they? There was a whole controversy about the Zenfone 12

Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.

Main drawbacks right now:

• I have one health-related (open source) app that I NEED to work flawlessly
• Navigating the various UIs seems incredibly awkward and inconsistent

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I’ll go disinfect my screen now.

Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

I always sort by new comments.

You misunderstand! It has also turned into basically a hobby (and recently, a job, lol) to manage nix configs.

Those 19k lines are clean, well-structured and DRY, and do describe every little thing about ca. 30 machines.

maniacally laughs while trying to avoid eye contact with 19k lines of nix config

Lmao I love this Lemmy instance

Think about it like this:

• with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result

• with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix’s problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)

I graduated with my Master’s 4 months ago.

I HAVENT PLAYED A SINGLE GAME SINCE, WHAT THE FUCK

No but you see those are people

Yeah but they can at least buy their bullshit, i.e. “we help gut overspending and Make America Great Again”. What’s the supposed mission here? “We help you fap to people that don’t want to he fapped to”?

Oh god I had not even thought about the last part.

Their staff is either 100% male, or a disaster waiting to happen. Probably both. I would not feel safe there that’s for sure.

the Wernher von Braun club

LMAO. Except even dumber, they’re the von Brauns of the “fake illegal nude” world

For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it’s a tool, it’s not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; …)

I can not imagine the mental gymnastics of people working for Clothoff

KDE, GNOME and Sway are the only functional Desktop Environments/Window Managers that support Wayland all, while the Other DEs are not even close to shipping with Wayland.

Just use git… One of the huge advantages of latex over docx is its easy diffability
