Last I checked, Plasma BigScreen was nowhere near ready for everyday use. Has that changed?

Sure, encryption may not be important for large groups but it can happen that it may be needed. If I were to make a group with my coworkers, I’d want that to be E2EE. On top of that, even without E2EE, you need good UX to host discussion groups for various topics, and Jami is simply not there yet.

You can’t have big groups in Jami, it’s limited to a small number of participants (can’t remember how many).

That’s what I was saying — sometimes the TOTP option is not available at all for certain services. Ente, Aegis, Bitwarden, etc won’t save you there and itsme remains the only option on mobile when that’s the case.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a private or public service if they both use the same auth provider (beId). I wouldn’t be surprised if the SMS/TOTP options went away completely at some point for our “security”.

A different issue is that itsme is often the only option when doing things on mobile. Sure, you can avoid it for now, but it’s getting increasingly inconvenient to do so, unfortunately. I try to express my disappointment to itsme every now and then about the fact that they require Google’s SafetyNet and that the Connective Plugin needed to activate itsme in the first place doesn’t even work on Linux, but to no avail. They sent me a detailed email about setting up a Windows VM to get it working so credit where it’s due for the effort, but the situation is still bad…

If I’m not mistaken, it’s up to the the service that’s using the Belgian e-id to enable some of the options or not. For example, the website where I check my payroll only works through itsme or with a card reader — no TOTP or SMS 2FA. It’s a big issue because itsme refuses to run when you don’t pass Google’s safety net.

I guess his son picked Bazzite for gaming. Linux Mint would not help with that since it’s lagging behind in updates to drivers (Mesa, etc)

In the US maybe. Even in western Europe, 10k $ or € is a buttload of money per month. Something like 4x the net salary of a backend developer here in Belgium where I live.

Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.

There’s a pretty simple reason. It’s that developers don’t have to spend the time to package for every single distro. I know I wouldn’t, I’d just focus on packaging for the distro that I use and flatpak. Having flatpak also means that some less known distros start with a big amount of apps available from the get go with flatpak.

Organic Maps is really good but beware that it doesn’t have lane assistance on highways which can prove to be dangerous imo.

That seems to be an Android app which requires the user to have it installed on their phone. No good for iOS either.

Teddit and other alternative frontends were a perfect way to send someone a Reddit link when they didn’t have an account because the mobile web experience is just pure cancer.

I’ve been going to the gym 2-4 times per week for about a year now. It’s a massive chore every single time and I don’t enjoy doing it but I do it for health benefits.

When I was a kid, I used to “play” Operation Flashpoint. I remember being too dumb to realise that the mouse was used to move the camera so it was basically me moving around with arrow keys and strafing to see a little to the left and right.

I had the demo of Tomba 1 (or Tombi as it was called in certain regions) on PS1. Used to play the shit out of that demo when I was a kid.
