Fluorescent lighting 100%. Warm dimming LEDs behind a nice shade, on the other hand, can stay (preferably dimmed).

I tried PCAPdroid recently and that seemed good

Glad I could help! I wasn’t sure if I was missing something in what you were trying to do - I get that in some cases folding in those features can make things a lot easier.

Don’t really understand why you’re overriding __new__. Surely it’d work better to use:

def __init__(self, source: str | Path, *args: Any) -> None:
        super().__init__(Path(source, *args).expanduser().resolve())

But this removes self.__source and the property. I’m not sure what the advantage of using that is but you could always set that before the line super().__init__(Path(source, *args).expanduser().resolve()).

EDIT: if I’ve completely misunderstood, please could you explain? I don’t really understand what subclassing is trying to achieve here, other than simplifying access to certain os.path functions.

Sounds like you were engaging in whataboutism and that was the problem

The actual article says that the new thing is that it allows consumers to revoke access to information after the fact.

Shopping local reduces the harm Amazon can and is doing.

It’s a political decision with regards to consolidation of power. Do you want Bezos and his small group to have such significant power over the direction of both your local region and on a global scale? Their interest is just money, whereas people who live in a region typically care about it beyond that.

All those tax breaks they get? Because they are so big they can bargain at that level. Supporting Amazon takes away from local services as a result.

The way I look at it, shopping with Amazon is often due to laziness (often cheaper or better from elsewhere) and perhaps you get a discount upfront (again, it’s not hard to shop around and find comparable or better prices) but there are hidden long-term costs.

I moved from Splitwise to Splid. I wish I had a FOSS alternative too.

Personally I don’t mind initial registration, so long as they don’t continue to get data, so I’m not sure. There is some development for Garmin connectivity that I’m hoping comes to fruition.

I did like the old amazfit bip and that could be used without registration using the Notify for Amazfit & Zepp app, from what I can remember. I never used it with Gadgetbridge though, and it didn’t last for very long before dying (cheap build quality). It isn’t much of a fitness tracker either.

Ah sorry, I missed a bit in your post - it’s correction during typing only. Upping this setting could help but I suspect you want something else

Heliboard isn’t perfect but is an openboard fork that has spell check, is getting active development, and is on F-droid. There’s even a correction sensitivity setting. It’s the first time I’ve been able to move away from Swiftkey.

Look into Gadgetbridge, as that allows the bypass of proprietary apps for some trackers

I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).

This comment from A7pr8 seems to suggest it is possible to modify the apk via Lucky Patcher, which hopefully would then work on a non-rooted phone:

You can’t just send the app from your rooted device. When you mod the app on a rooted device only .odex file will be patched not the .apk file.

You need to rebuild .apk to be able to share it and the the other device should also has luckypatcher for it to work.

Simply when you patch an app use the option create modified .apk or rebuild it from “rebuild & install” in the bottom bar.

The right dinosaur has chaotic dreams that make no sense but is hiding it to seem normal. It took me a bit to realise what the lower left bit was, which did confuse me.

Yeah, I absolutely want this option on all keyboards too. I just moved to openboard and it’s the thing I miss most by far.

I’ve ranted about this to several people too. Intelligence is hard to define and trying to define it has a horrible history linked to eugenics. That said, I feel like a minimum definition is that it has the capacity to understand the meaning and/or impact of what it is saying and/or doing, which current “AI” is so far from doing.

This should help. I believe the .ui files will work with both PyQt and PySide but I haven’t personally tried.

PyQt is pretty good and Qt is widely used, so may also be worth a look. The Qt designer is a nice way to separate out the look of the GUI elements, then work on connecting the app functionality to that after. I think the key is to start on something simple and work up, partially to learn the library and partially to learn the pitfalls of GUI development as you add features etc.

I’d have jumped on one of those if it had a microSD slot
