I don't have this issue, but maybe changing some of the privacy settings might help? https://duckduckgo.com/settings#privacy

If you don't want an extension, another option is to find it on Mycroft Project [0], choose Gigablast, and on the "Install plugin" page, right click the address bar and choose "Add Gigablast". Then you can set it as your default from the Firefox search settings.

By default it's small, but all you need to do is zoom in and it's perfect. For example, on my 1440p monitor I'm at 213% zoom and it's working great for me.

I think a lot of people missed that only the early adopters batches will come with the pen and magnetic case included:

> We will be making the PineNote available for early adopters later this year for $399. The early adopter’s PineNote batch will ship with a magnetic cover (working with an on-board hall sensor, putting the device to sleep) as well as the EMR pen. Following the early adopter’s batch, both the cover and the pen will be sold separately.

The Remarkable 2 costs $547 USD with a pen and magnetic cover. So right now the PineNote is ~$150 cheaper, but once they start selling the accessories separately, I'm expecting it to be around $50-$100 cheaper than the R2. Still a good difference, but it's not as competitive price-wise as people think.

Edit: Not that price is all that matters, I'm super excited to have a proper Linux e-ink device!

There's a great extension called Old Reddit Redirect [0] that'll always take you to old Reddit, highly recommend it.

Reddit's new direction in recent years has been really painful. There's so many great niche communities there that practically don't exist elsewhere on the Internet. Unfortunately, if/when they get rid of old Reddit and the API for third party apps, I'll probably drop Reddit entirely.

Yes, under "How does GitHub Copilot work?":

> [...] The GitHub Copilot editor extension sends your comments and code to the GitHub Copilot service, which then uses OpenAI Codex to synthesize and suggest individual lines and whole functions.

Yes. There was an experimental project called Positron [0]: "a experimental, Electron-compatible runtime on top of Gecko". It was discontinued in 2017 [1].

AFAIK the only thing around nowadays is GeckoView [2] for Android.

From GCP docs [0]:

  Effect of ToS violations
  
  Google-wide disabled account
  
  In some cases a Google-wide account (which covers access to a variety of Google products like Google Photos, Google Play, Google Drive, and GCP) will be disabled for violations of a Google ToS, egregious policy violations, or as required by law. Owners of disabled Google accounts will not be able to access their Google Cloud resources until the account is reinstated. If an account is disabled, a notification is sent to the secondary email address provided during the signup process, if available. If a phone number is available, the user is notified via text message. The notification includes a link for appeal and recovery, where applicable.
  
  In order to regain access to their GCP resources, owners of disabled Google accounts will need to contact Google support and have their account re-enabled.
  
  To minimize the effect of an account being disabled on Google Cloud resources, we recommend that you add more than one owner to all resources. As long as there is at least one active owner, GCP resources will not be suspended due to the one of the owners being disabled.

Given the Google account horror stories that pop up every few months, seems risky if you're solo/only have one GCP owner.

Cool demo, but it seems like a bad idea to use this for a landing page. Took over 30 seconds to load for me - unless I knew this was a demo I would probably just close the page.

If you point the comments to be fetched from an instance you host, I assume you could silence/suspend users or domains on your instance and they would no longer show up in the comments (although that's probably not an ideal solution for most cases).

> I've set up my email client on my phone, so that it only notifies me if one of my developers emails me. I use the VIP feature of Samsung's email client, which seems to be unique to that specific client, since I haven't been able to find another with it.

Maybe not quite as simple to set up, but you should be able to get something similar on most clients with a folder and a filter. I've done this for some of my important/urgent folders, with K9-Mail set to only show notifications from those folders (notification class).

Ah, fair, I think I've only ever used it on a 3GB board with ZRAM enabled. It also looks a bit blurry on Wayland, hopefully that gets fixed soon (it looks like there's a bounty for it [0]).

Yes, Anbox is working pretty well on Arch Linux ARM [0][1], although I haven't tried Signal specifically.

Like other commenters said, it's just Linux so you can do pretty much anything.

For Qt, the current stack seems to be Kirigami, which is KDE's library for convergent apps. There's also the Mauikit framework, which is built on top of Kirigami (I don't know enough to know the exact differences).

For Gtk, it's libhandy, which adds a few widgets for convergent apps.

It looks like Flutter doesn't support ARM yet, I found this after a quick search: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60678

There's also a few Electron/Webkit-based apps (especially for UBPorts), which is a nice temporary solution to get an app on the device while there isn't yet a native equivalent.

I feel like the post title should be something closer to the email, like one of the first lines "Is there still somebody around in the cairo community who is willing and able to make a release".
