I try to think this wherever I bemoan the lack of IPU4 support

Read enough there to make me never consider Moto again. I miss the Moto X days

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Thanks for the post, just sent $30 through

Fwiw I started out with PopOS as I had a 1080ti and am still with it having moved to a 7900XTX. No issues with it apart from the Pop Shop being slow which should be remedied by the new Cosmic version

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

If it doesn’t get at least as many as Discovery I’ll be incredibly sad

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Definitely shocked Pikachu vibes

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

PopOS has an ISO with Nvidia drivers included, no issues gaming straight away on my old 1080ti. As I’m a simpleton who just likes their system to with I’ve stuck with it even after upgrading to an AMD card

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’ve not had UI issues but agree on the Pop Shop. The next iteration with Cosmic looks to be significantly improved at least

Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Functionality is also nonexistent on administrating uploads in YT Music. At least on GPM you could edit basic tags and upload/edit album art. None of that on YTM

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I love the phone despite the large size but can’t get GPS working in apps

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Very interested in this considering the specs for possible price. Would love to know exactly which cirrus logic DAC is in this device though. Also I’d be fine with sticking to Android 13 for an audio focused phone but wish they’d at least commit to security patches

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Edit: ignore comment, didn’t realise it was about the Deck initially!

Star Trek: Lower Decks Will End With Its Fifth, Final Season

Well hell.

@startrek

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting “Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!”

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I used Pixel Experience on the Pocophone to replace MIUI, pretty much flawless experience. Many thanks to José and other contributors for their hard work!

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’ve got a SP8 which I’ve been running PopOS on since the start of the year. The cameras don’t work but this isn’t a deal-breaker for me, it runs smoothly and is perfect for my needs as a media consumption device (music, movies, comics) with some browsing. There were some issues I had on installation but nothing that couldn’t be resolved. Many thanks to the Linux surface team!

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Number 2 was huge for me, and it hit home when I realised that 99% of my Steam library was supported. Thankfully I don’t need to use any Windows only apps (Adobe suite, etc) so the decision to move over to Linux was trivial personally

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Even having moved to Linux, I miss Foobar. Deadbeef isn’t that dissimilar but isn’t quite close though for me

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’d personally prefer that to the tone Discovery took

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I use it on my Surface Pro 8 with PopOS as Xorg doesn’t work properly

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Maybe we should just wait until the new phones are announced… gizmochina.com/…/sony-isnt-discontinuing-the-xper…

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Praying the Xperia 5 VI is a bit more compact that the previous iteration. That and Sony actually start supporting their services for at least 5 years -_-

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Dom Joly moment

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

It’s not fanless but I was also thinking of the Lemur Pro. Apparently System76 will be bringing out a new design though next month

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’m on Pop too, mainly looking forward to Cosmic because… It’s got a cool name. The actual features are gravy to me

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

It’s got it’s faults but I love the speakers on my Zenfone 10. Very loud with good bass, especially for a relatively compact phone.

I’d love a phone with a dedicated DAC and decent shielding like the old LG V devices. Whilst there are dedicated DAPs with these features at this point I’d prefer an all in one device. Although the ZD10 has a headphone jack I can hear humming with no music/sound through them -_-

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I liked Armada but that’s about it :/

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’m also having this issue on my desktop with Firefox flatpak connected via Ethernet and Librewolf deb on my Surface Pro 8 via WiFi. On the SP8 it opens immediately on disabling WiFi or switching off my VPN which seems bizarre but at least partially lines up with your experience.

I’m an uninformed casual on Linux but if I can help diagnose/resolve this lmk

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

They all look to be 123.0, though bizarrely the version advertised as flatpak in About Firefox doesn’t pause/delay before opening but the other version does. No messages come through on dmesg -w unfortunately, I’m pretty stumped. The only clue I have is that the version of Librewolf I have on my desktop installed through the Pop Shop doesn’t delay opening but the same version on my SP8 installed through deb does.

Ultimately it does point towards FF in show way?

You’re amongst the stars now, safe travels Kenneth

Edit: for those who haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend this featurette startrek.com/…/exclusive-featurette-kenneth-mitch…

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I wanted to like the 8 but the discrete modem meant battery life on 5G was still awful. It shouldn’t be an answer to have to disable 5G for a phone this expensive so until Google sort that I’m steering clear of Pixels. Hopefully they’ll resolve this for the 10 when Tensor G5 comes in

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Deathly afraid to change barbers as the usual chap who does mine has learnt to get on with it. Only took 9 years or so

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’ve never had this come up and travel abroad a fair bit. Though now that I think about it I always use it through a VPN set to my home country lol

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Happy running Linux on my SP8 but this actually makes M1/2 Apple hardware appealing

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

IDIC, thank you very much Lemmy Corps of Engineers

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

How’s Mull’s stability recently? I prefer it over Firefox too but switched back six months ago due to bugs cropping up here and there

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Can confirm, love my SP8 which I got recently and promptly put Linux on it

Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS

I’m unable to pair my Wacom tablet to my notebook via BT. I think I know the root cause of the issue which is the version of Bluez being 5.64 and the behavior of the issue is the same as I had on Fedora on my main PC few months back when I’ve tried to pair PS5 Dual Sense controller....

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I personally haven’t but just from reading the Pop OS help page on BT I expect issues at some point

wingsfortheirsmiles , (edited )

Getting a surface pro 8 soon, looking forward to getting Linux on it!

Edit: installed Pop OS on my SP8, had to switch to Wayland and also needed to do some tweaks to get the keyboard to work to decrypt but it’s running well so far. I believe you can get the camera working with the proprietary camera stack but it’s not a priority for me right now

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Yup, I was aware of that when I bought it. Annoying but I got a good deal on the 8, and want to upgrade the storage

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I like mine, mainly small gripes for me like I wish the shielding was a bit better on the headphone jack, Meta apps weren’t bundled though ofc you can disable/remove them and the screen could be both brighter and get dimmer (to agree with the other review). I’m also a bit disappointed it doesn’t support e-sims, though does support dual physical SIMs.

Performance is great as expected, battery is solid and the camera is good whilst not matching Pixels imo. Asus’ skin is pretty light with some nice customisation options (like being able to switch between stock android and their version for certain parts of the OS). I also love the fingerprint sensor on the power button, just makes sense for me and reminds me of my old Xperia Compact phones. Whilst retaining the SD card slot would be handy, I went for 512GB so it’s not an issue for me

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

Sad how far Android Police have fallen, as well as Google themselves

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

They do books too, I got most of the Pathfinder 1st edition PDFs from a Humble Bundle deal

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

If I had to get a replacement for my current laptop that’d definitely be it

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

My fave too as it’s closest to foobar, critically with the tagging interface I prefer. Have you added any additional plugins to your install? I tried adding a few (music library, Discord Rich Presence) but must be the right sort of stupid not to understand the instructions. facepalm

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I’ve been using OLauncher for nearly a year, very clean and simple. Maybe too simple compared to Niagara but I dig it plus it’s FOSS

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

The Klingon scene was easily my favourite moment of that episode, reaction was a millisecond of complete surprise followed by splitting of sides

wingsfortheirsmiles ,

I started using Pop OS at the start of the year and have managed to play the vast majority of games including Baldur’s Gate 3. My hardware was similar to yours (though I’ve recently upgraded): 3700X, 1080Ti. Downloaded the version of Pop with the Nvidia drivers and ensured Steam Play was enabled for all games (to automatically utilise Proton).

I’d suggest trying the other Nvidia driver versions, as one of the other ones might work better with your 1070. Seem to recall I accidentally switched to one of the other versions Pop offers and had issues so maybe playing around with them will get some games working
