Chrome/Chromium Experimenting With Flatpak Packaging
I’ve been using the Flatpak version of Ungoogled Chromium for a while now (for websites that don’t work natively with Librewolf). Is this really that new?

Spent way too long building a feature rich YouTube Music desktop app for myself, might as well share it
Given the first few commits referring to scaffolding phases and the frequent use of em dashes, I’m suspicious this was built with AI assistance. Nothing wrong with that, but a disclaimer of some sort somewhere would go a long way.

GrapheneOS patches an Android VPN bypass that Google decided to leave alone

The software for linux phones is pretty much there. Gnome and KDE mobile are surprisingly capable. There’s built in apps for every basic thing you’d need on a phone like a dialer, SMS app, camera, etc. plus all the normal apps adapted to work with mobile like the calculator and maps apps.
The only real limitation is with the hardware. I have no idea why all new linux phones launch with specs from a decade ago. You can get a better experience by flashing ported Postmarket OS to an Android phone like the Nothing phone or a OnePlus 6t.
It shouldn’t be like that, no idea why it’s impossible to just have a linux phone with decent specs and a good camera on par with modern flagships.

Introducing JPEG-XL Support in the Gnome ecosystem
I’ve always thought JPEG-XL is an incredible standard, and I have no idea why it’s taking so long for platforms to adopt it. Glad GNOME finally does. Thanks for this informative write up!

How do you feel about distributing small Linux tools via GitHub and Gumroad?
I’m highly suspicious that this entire project and even these responses are all AI-generated. Something about the grammar and use of em dashes that really seems fishy to me. And in their first (almost identical) post to this one, someone said that hiding the source code could make people suspicious it’s been authored by AI, and OP responded “what counts as ‘AI-authored’ to you?”. Veeeery sus

Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice.
Any specific reason why you’d like to move away from Fedora? It’s an amazing distro, all things considered.

[Answered] Video players that look like IINA, or can?
It’s not blurred, but the UI for Showtime (GNOME Video Player) looks pretty similar with the edge to edge video playback and transparent controls overlay: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime

Is there a music app to which I can stream from my NAS that supports CarPlay?
I use Jellyfin along with the iOS client Manet. It’s not the best UI for CarPlay, but it gets the job done.

What distro do you game on?
Pretty much any distro will work for gaming these days. Really up to personal preference. I use Arch but have heard good things about Pop!_OS.

Wife surprised me with a Gaggia Classic for an early birthday present
Hell yeah, that’s an amazing machine! If you like tinkering and wanna make your Gaggia even better, check out GaggiMate if you haven’t already. It allows you to do pretty much everything something like a Decent DE1 ($2500+) can do such as pressure profiling, flow control, PID tuning, smart scale connection, etc. for a fraction of the cost.
It’s not too hard to install if you’re a little bit crafty either, took me about a day to install mine. I can’t recommend it enough.

A hacker built a tool to track police officers. Then he tried to warn them
How is it able to get the latitude and longitude of the devices? As far as I’m aware, the bluetooth spec doesn’t provide coordinates as part of its metadata. And you’d need some kind of triangulation method otherwise. I’m certainly not able to get the coordinates of my bluetooth devices. Wish I could, would make finding the remote a lot easier.

It used to be behind Gagguino in terms of features, but it’s caught up incredibly quickly, now I believe the only thing Gaggimate doesn’t have is the option for an integrated scale built into the drip tray.
The biggest thing for me was that Gagguino recently stopped being open source, while Gaggimate is still committed to being fully open source. And in my opinion, Gaggimate has more polish and looks better visually. But definitely do your own research and compare them yourself if you’re curious.
