I am wondering the same, mentioning the specific hardware makes very little sense, when it could just be mentioned as Linux/Windows/PC and Android/GrapheneOS/etc.

It would arguably be more informative too for people looking for alternatives for their device platforms.

Sharing another app suggestion(s) for Android: Tubular [0] or the more up-to-date LastPipeBender [1].

Both apps differ from NewPipe and its variants by integrating with PeerTube along with YouTube, apart from providing features like SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike.

I have started using PeerTube much more often as my subscriptions from YouTube and PeerTube are now shown together, which makes for a seamless and superior experience altogether.

I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.

E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD’s erratic update schedules for its phones.

I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone’s release date.

Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.

The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.

So is Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, and even iTerm.

The README’s About section[0] sheds no light on what sets Ghostty apart from the competition, while using vague terms and marketing hyperboles.

Most recently, Marvel’s Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.

But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.

An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.

Thank you. I shall try it out as a secondary general keyboard.

Thank you for sharing your workflow.

This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
2. What do you do with the videos after watching?

Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.

How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?

It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.

I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!

Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.

I use Android as my secondary phone, my primary is an iPhone. Though for the past six months, my use of Android has surpassed iOS as the latter is now only for calls, messages and reading emails. For replying to emails, I use a computer.

I have removed as many Google apps as I could using Canta, as long as the phone is able to boot and function.

The apps, in no particular order (read: the order in which I can recollect):

Going by the teaser, it looks like a cape pull.

It has been well over a decade since a movie starring Superman came on the big screens.*

I am going to remain optimistic, and wait for the proper trailer to form full opinions, but I do agree that the teaser could have shown more of that optimism that James Gunn is talking about in his interviews.

*There have been movies which featured the character but always detrimentally sidelined him for a shinier toy (Batman, JL, etc.)

Sharing my comment[0] from !dcstudios@lemmy.world:

I loved the teaser, but the thought that kept running through my head was that, aside from the style, colour palette, and a more varied supporting cast, this iteration feels very similar to the previous one: We still have a serious, bruised Superman enduring the public’s ire.

I find it ironic, given that the main critique of the character over the past decade was precisely this portrayal.

Perhaps the full trailer will distinguish the themes better.

Either way, I look forward to the movie.

Not sure if you are referring to the roaches or a person.

I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.
