I'd only set one up if it were fully open-source and self-hosted. It looks like there are a couple of options out there that meet those criteria (like Mycroft), but I haven't looked into it enough yet.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

Started having the same issue during covid lockdowns. What works for me now is:

  • switching often between sitting and standing for work. Getting a sit-stand desk converter like this one really helped with that.
  • pretty serious amounts of near-daily exercise (esp. swimming laps and strength training). This pays off in all kinds of ways beyond fixing back pain
  • making sure to take enough breaks, even if that just means getting out for a 10-15 minute walk a couple of extra times per day.

I keep a .dotfiles folder in my home dir, use syncthing to back up those files on a couple of other computers, and then (on a new install) just make the actual config files symlinks to those files.

The project you're thinking of is probably PostmarketOS, though it doesn't look like anyone's started work on an iPad 2 or mini yet.

They're on Lemmy now, so that might be a good place to follow up (or if you're curious to start hacking away at anything yourself)

I never really 'got' Twitter-style microblogging, and still don't really get Mastodon for the same reason. But I could some use for it if I represented some kind of group or organization that needed to publish regular updates.

Kentucky is the North South.

Can't wait until the day I never have to think about this dunce again.

Having both that and Waydroid on a phone would be pretty great. You might want to check out Darling for running Mac apps on Linux in the meantime, since its goals are similar to Wine's (but it's still early in development in comparison)

This is my neighborhood, so I apologize for not knowing about (or attending) this awful-looking meeting. Needless to say these obnoxious attendees are a loud minority that don't represent the community.

edit: just signed up to help out with ParkToPark103 going forward.

Don't think so. I'm pretty happy with my social life and haven't touched any of that stuff in 10+ years.

Always, because you get to assign keyboard shortcuts to each one (and then use each one for a dedicated purpose). Much faster workflow than alt-tabbing your way through an arbitary list of programs.
