GCam requires the Google Photos app to be installed to load previews.

One way to fix this without installing it is to use GCamPhotosPreview. I use it myself and it works as expected

Their app is still in alpha though…

Bottom, I got used to having it down there from the Windows Phone days

It has a compact mode with 2 columns that I find pretty neat. Otherwise, it’s mostly the same as aegis with custom icons, groups, password and biometric unlock, etc.

Waterfox is already a thing

The last few characters were trash anyways

My first encounter with Linux was in 2008-9 when my dad bought a secondhand PC that came with PCLinuxOS. We mostly used it to play SuperTuxKart at the time.

Then a friend showed me Ubuntu (must have been 10.04 or something like that) when we started a website project together

I tried using Mint in college and ended up using it full-time by the end of the year. Then had a brief period of using Ubuntu (drive issues with Mint) before heading back to Windows when I bought a new PC for university.

I’ve been using Windows for study and work, and Linux for personal development when possible. I’d like to go back to Linux full-time, but I’m not sure which distro to use

Smaller homelab than average, but gets the work done

like many have already said, a custom ROM is a pretty good option. Aside from LineageOS, I’d recommend DivestOS which is a fork with some security and privacy enhancements

Meta is about to launch a twitter clone that will have AcitivityPub support. Most fediverse admins don’t want to federate, but the discussion has been getting quite heated lately

The pi would be fine for a lightweight music server (ex. gonic), maybe a lightweight photo app and pihole.

Fedi software generally requires a decent machine, so it’s probably better to use something else; same for matrix.

I don’t get how the debate around federation with a platform that hasn’t even launched yet got so virulent.

But officer, ChatGPT told me it was fine to cross while the light was on red!

I run Debian + Docker, and use Portainer to manage the docker stacks

Android, advertising and maps (this last one is a bit of a stretch)

Nextcloud can have some sort of federation: https://nextcloud.com/federation/

I find the idea kind of neat, but not very useful

I’m currently using calckey, works similar to mastodon but with a better UI and UX (IMO), although still in development
