Aww thank you so much!!! <333

<3 wow it is a big coincidence! i wish your lemmy client app becomes very famous :D

Awww thanks!! <3

is it an ios app?

Yes, eventually. I’m developing in react native (one codebase, many platforms). I own an Android though, so all physical testing is on this phone. Therefore, all alphas and stuff like that are being built for Android for now. Unfortunately, building and testing for iOS is a massive pain in the ass. I think I would have to take the help of some iOS dev for this in the future/get an old iPhone or something.

do you want to share the link if it is available for everyone to download?

Aww thanks for the interest! It’s not ready enough imo to share it publicly for now. However, it’s getting there quickly! Can’t wait for the day I can share the repo link on the Lemmy app development communities!

collabora office; i will check this out as well! thanks! are they open source?

They’re the commercial wing of LibreOffice from what I know for enterprise.

thank you so much for the suggestions; do you know if there is a way to use Organic Maps on iphone?

No worries <3! Isn’t it on the App store? On looking it up, it shows that it’s available here. I don’t know though, as I don’t own any Apple devices.

I did use LibreOffice many years ago … i should give it a try once again.

Definitely! I’m a sucker for the native gtk apps. So I may be a little biased when I say this, but it’s WAY better than Microsoft office from a UI standpoint. All Microsoft products just feel cheap to me.

also, you have no idea how happy you made me by giving me my first comment on my first lemmy post!!

Awww I’m so glad haha. Guess what? I’m developing a Lemmy client app right now, and this is the first “real” comment I made which was outside the pure test oriented comments! Interesting firsts, eh?

Try using Organic Maps for OSM. Much more beautiful than osmAnd imo. As for office, try using LibreOffice. Very beautiful and smooth software!

“This is the way”, is what members of a Mandalorian cult from Star Wars say to reaffirm their way of life. Star wars is owned by Disney.

The “this is the way” thing became popular as the cultists would generally say it after doing something cool.

I never tried searx much. I’ll do it now :)

Ooo I have a custom one, which is pitch black and has like pink n gray accents n stuff like that. Looks really sexy on my screen

I really want to switch to brave’s search engine from ddg (mainly cuz brave has its own index while ddg uses Bing’s). But I have a rlly nice theme on ddg, which makes me feel rlly comfortable. Sure, I can put up user themes/ user scripts whatever for brave search too, but I’m not getting the time to do all that.

So much operating that it takes TWENTY ONE AND HALF FUCKING MINUTES TO SHUT DOWN

Um what. Did u forget to share the link? I can just see an image

Oh definitely. Canonical forcing us to use snap Firefox was very shitty. I mean I still use Ubuntu because I’m lazy, but I did change the snap Firefox thing to the apt libraries or whatever.

I really don’t understand why they don’t just adopt flatpak.

I have NODE installed using snap lmao. Why? Installing it the normal way just gives me tons of errors that I’m too bored to deal with. I’m sure there’s a fix, but I’m too lazy to debug all that. Of course, I don’t use snap node for hosting servers and stuff. I just use it for react native. Regardless, it works n I’m happy lol

What even is Pinterest? I see people using it as social media, but I never got what it was for. Isn’t it just an image hosting site like Imgur? Or is it more like Instagram?

No. But if u r a rail worker in Germany, Hitler is clearly talking about murdering minorities and u r aware of this information and yet u stay, then yes. U r complicit in the crimes of Hitler.

I’m glad that u made the switch, but I’m a little skeptical about ur choice of distro. I tried Garuda like 2 years ago. Barely lasted 3 months on it.

Garuda’s KDE DE was incredibly buggy, the wifi would get disconnected constantly and so on. Also, getting any support for it (on forums n stuff like that) was very hard. I made the choice to switch back to Ubuntu. Everything works out of the gate, n if u face any problem it almost always will have a solution posted up on Stack overflow.

But again, if u’r happy with Garuda, good for u! However, it is not representative of the Linux experience. If u find it to be a pain in the ass, it does not mean that all of Linux is a problem haha.

Ew the new one sucks. Why can’t they spend the money that they have on important stuff instead of changing logos every couple of years? Uk, considering that their funding is going to dry up because of the Google anti trust case?

Hopium question: Can Google be sued for this as anti-competitive behavior and fined for “lost revenue”?

That’s the way to go! AI isn’t bad. Closed sourced AI is.

Have u tried changing user agent? Get an add-on on Firefox with a similar name and change to chrome. The website will now think that u’r using Chrome. U could even change ur displayed OS if it has that big of a problem with Linux.
