2-3 years ago, it would be great. Nowadays, I think it will just expedite the embrace of AI as an alternative, but I might be pessimistic.

Re: gadgetbridge, my current model I purchased because it was available through them. $100 and great reviews online. Check out the Amazfit Active 2 if you haven't pulled the trigger already. Alternatively, check out reviews from 'The Quantified Scientist' on YouTube if you really care about GPS/Sleep tracking and want to see how models stack up.

Does anyone know how to get an RSS feed for the newsletter? I am using killthenewsletter right now, but it expires prematurely sometimes

I believe in FOSS to the point that I often unnecessarily uninstall mysql for mariadb.

With that said, I hate to be the guy w/ a non-FOSS recommendation but my suggestion, Symfonium (a paid app that has a free trial), does have a way to get the full version without Play Services.

I use it for online radio and it also lets you add descriptions/tags you can filter stations based on the tags for if/when your list gets long. And the online radio isn't even the most popular feature for most users:

  • Completely reconfigurable layouts
  • Completely customizable 'Now Playing Screens'
  • It's just one dev and he is VERY responsive to feedback (perhaps overly as he chimes in on most negative reviews on Play Store) and has built out various features based on forum suggestions/bug reports
  • Smart playlists: For example they have Favorites, Recently Added, Most Played, Random, Rediscover. And all of these can be further split by Album/Artist/Playlist/Track
  • It is integrated w/ my server running Jellyfin, so I can play music across all my devices and allows you to cache/download content for offline playback but otherwise allows you to stream over LAN

There's too much to cover about it w/o sounding like a shill. Here are some people that aren't me w/ their opinions:

And here is an update on changes posted by the dev last week:

Are you using DNS Rewrites for jellyfin? I am using that (via AdGuard Home) w/ my Reverse Proxy (Zoraxy) and most of the apps work outside of jellyfin. Wondering if I need to configure the domain in the compose/env file 🤔

Any other tips for the VM and/or GrapheneOS compatibility? Ie: did you use a different profile? I run Debian throughout my house as is, but plan on integrating the VM for better integration but was a little hesitant to be an early adopter due to the potential nuances. (lemme know if you have a blog/gist/etc covering it too)

If you are legitimately interested/believe in scientific rigor, then here is the research paper published in Nature Scientific Journal by the University of Cambridge: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08897-0

 

“This is a completely different approach to what people have done before. The writing’s on the wall that this is going to transform things, it’s going to be the new way of doing forecasting,” Turner said. He said the model would eventually be able to produce accurate eight-day forecasts, compared with five-day forecast at present, as well as hyper-localised predictions.

Dr Scott Hosking, the director of science and innovation for environment and sustainability at the Alan Turing Institute, said the breakthrough could “democratise forecasting” by making powerful technologies available to developing nations around the world, as well as assisting policymakers, emergency planners and industries that rely on accurate weather forecasts.

I have the other perspective where I think that highly rated resellers have an incentive to share SMART results and ship good product. Perhaps its eBay centric, it has been my experience for used and refurbished electronics. If it's any consolation, your perspective is likely what keeps the cost low for these sellers.

 

It’s fun to say that artificial intelligence is fake and sucks — but evidence is mounting that it’s real and dangerous

 
  1. Yes I know you can learn for free reading man pages
  2. Remember to update the 'Adjust Donation' before purchasing to give more to the charity/publisher
  3. Share which books you already read or are looking forward to reading
 

I follow two already using FreshRSS and I'm looking for more

 

"After much consideration, we have decided to move Platformer off of Substack. Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."

 

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.

This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?

I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
