Intel is ruining Intel.

Fedora Linux 41 is here! - Fedora Magazine in c/linux@lemmy.world

The upgrade process on Kinoite (KDE Atomic) was extremely fast and smooth. Fedora has always been among the most reliable when it comes to upgrades in my experience.

The Best Lemmy Client in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 33 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).

Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.

Edit: Grammar

The foundation is the largest shareholder, but Proton has not specified whether it controls a majority.

“I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock in c/technology@lemmy.world

But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

The Snapdragon X dev kit that we thought looked pretty cool turned out to be so bad that Qualcomm ended up cancelling it in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

It is so bad, they can not talk about.

Syncthing for Android discontinued in c/fdroid@lemmy.ml

A GitHub issue was opened for Syncthing-Fork, so it will be worth watching that to know whether it will continue to be supported.

Syncthing for Android discontinued (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/14305957

Per the GitHub readme:

This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.

The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

You should be using an RSS reader. in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 2 points 3 weeks ago

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.
