Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

Lojcs ,

And the product director is openly lying about it:

We are not accessing or reading Substance users’s projects in any way, shape or form nor are we planning to or have any means to do it in the first place.

It's either that, or their lawyers decided to put that in without asking him? There needs to be some serious legislation for when companies try to pull this off

Amarok, KDE's legendary music player, is out with version 3.0.1.

@kde

Lojcs ,

It's not the theme, it's that it has 5 panels visible with vague hirerarchy. Music players shouldn't look like IDEs

Lojcs ,

In my experience mtp (especially on Linux) stops working if you look at it wrong, so probably not. Perhaps kde connect's folder view works?

I'd run gdu in termux on the phone though.

Lojcs ,

Gdu doesn't follow folder symlinks and can't scan what it doesn't have permission to (like system folders and other apps) but if you cd to internalstorage it can scan that

Lojcs ,

Hold on, so this cat is an actual chimera?

Lojcs ,

Dick hole??

Lojcs ,

Never seen such a thing, is this a regional thing?

Lojcs ,

The world is bigger than just the us, sounds like it’s a us thing then

Texas Takes Attacks on Austin to New Level With “Death Star” Law ( slate.com )

The goal of Death Star is simple. The deeply conservative Texas Legislature wants to effectively deny cities—the state’s large Democratic-leaning cities, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin in particular—the ability to pass local laws and regulations in eight major policy areas: agriculture, business and commerce, finance,...

Lojcs ,

Why tf is this called death star

Lojcs ,

I don’t think an anti democratic law and a planet destroying weapon are comparable and tacking pop culture references to politics is supremely cringe

Lojcs ,

It’s not even a good allegory. If the topic was a destructive military event maybe it would be acceptable. But calling a law ‘death star’ is just ridiculous. You can’t just group things into good things and bad things and pick the most recognizable bad thing to represent what you want to talk about. Words have meanings and there should be a corrolation between the severity and theme of your subject and the allegory you use.

Everyone already knows how bad this is. Me complaining about a stupid law in another continent is not going to change anything. But it does piss me off when political clickbait is apparently so acceptable that I get an article about Texas attacking Austin with death star law on my feed.
