That idea is just as ridiculous.

Kimai is a great option

Funniest thing is, this video series ultimately landed him the job as lead UX designer for Musescore, lol

It's about a dofferent piece of software, but still highly relevant.

My very first job, right out of school and before Uni, turned out to be almost only be "make calls" (not a call-center or anything, it was administrative tasks that required calling partnered businesses).

I only had that job for 6months or so, but I'm glad I had it. I still prefer Mail, but very often making a quick call is the way to go, and not being afraid of them makes your life way easier.

Edit: forgot to say, I'm Gen Z I guess.

Inhave the original A5 from Supernote, and while the device still works just fine after 5 years (also I think I never had to change a nib even once), I've grown disillusioned with the company.

It came down to the A5 or the rM2 for me hack then. I liked everything about the A5 better, EXCEPT that the rM2 allowed you to mod it and access it via SSH.

The A5 runs on a slim version of Linux. So I asked Supernote if they'd consider opening SSH for users. And they said "Yes! It's actually in our roadmap for the next release!"

And that's been the answer I've been getting for the past 5 years. The last update for the device was about 3 years ago.

I love that the tablet is running plain Linux, but it suuuuuucks that I can't use it to its full potential because the sync options suck.

And Smarttube Next on the TV/firetv/Android TV.

Security by default is fine, but not if its being forced.

If I go out of my way to root my phone or sideload an app, I have a reason for that. I'm fine with an app going "Hey! This phone is rooted / this app is not from an official source! Wait 10s before you can click 'I understand and take full responsibikity in case of a security breach'".

I'm not OK with an app going "I will not work on this device because yiur environment is non-standard, period".

Before. This will create the necessary climate for someone to decide 'fuck it' and contact them.

Pretty sure you can configure it with a key so only authorized clients can use it

How did I not know this?? Thanks!

Thanks lol. The thing is, they're getting away with this. Forcing Freestyle to open their protocol would instantly solve all of those problems, as you could use good hardware with good software, since you'd no longer be locked in.
