Your half right. It’s not really the OS’s fault but rather the fault of the browsers and app-frameworks that use the browser in the background (electron). Because neither Firefox nor chrome have this feature implemented for Linux. The official Discord client doesn’t do it either but other ones such as Sunroof do. It’s possible that at least one Matrix client has learnt to share the screen with sound on Linux but I don’t know of any (I also don’t use Matrix a lot so don’t pay too much attention to my experience on that)

Ghost is open source. You can selfhost. It’s just that aggressively advertising their (paid) hosting services on the official website

Which is why the comment you where replying to specified

in civilised countries

The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C’s is illegal

If you don’t want to do that, then you can buy a bootable drive (for example here: https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/mint21-usb.html)

Using a different tool to create a bootable drive is just a part of installing any operating system, not just Linux. If you ever need to install windows on a pc that doesn’t have it installed you will see the same process.

Also I would argue that he was famously not a famous painter

But if they are edgy misogynists in their teens and then they outgrow the edgy part…

… Then we’ll still have a bunch of misogynists on our hand, but now their beliefs are sincere rather than performative.

Linux has had MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) support baked in for some time now. Dell sells such a pen which they call the Dell Active Pen but theoretically any MPP pen should work.

It’s not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

Don’t get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn’t mean, anybody is actually going to build it.

They are contributing to Google’s hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.

Thank you

You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo

Sxmo utilises your phone’s volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I’m aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.

In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

May I introduce you to LocalSend

I’ve just tried building Thunder for desktop and it works fine so far without any tweaks nessesary. In fact I’m writing this comment using this very build.

If there’s interest I might be looking into turning this into a proper flatpak.

I haven’t tried it myself but the StarLite is a surface style convertible designed to run Linux, even shipping with the distribution of your choice right out of the box. And apparently it supports MPP pens. It’s not in the official specs but StarLabs is selling an active pen that’s “exclusively designed for the StarLite Mk V”

Neo store has had that feature for some time as well

It’s not just a YouTube downloader, it also allows you to download videos from, as the official website says, “a few more sites”. Those include social media sites such as twitch or twitter but also the online platforms of TV networks. If you live in the US, you can for example download full episodes from the big broadcasting networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) and PBS. If you’re British you can download stuff from the BBC. Germans find their public broadcasters supported as well. Likewise for a bunch of other European countries and Australia.

And with a good VPN you have access to all of the above.

The Eurovision Song Contest is organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) an organization set up to regulate TV tech. In short they exist to make sure a TV bought in Spain also works in Sweden. As such the EBU also grants full membership to countries that are not part of Europe but have strong economic ties with the continent and therefore are part of the European Broadcasting Area. That’s how we got Israel in the contest. Australia also competes because (a) they are an associate member (b) they have an long history of airing the contest even before they competed © they spend a large sum of money every year to make the EBU forget where exactly Australia is located.

The US doesn’t participate but a couple of years ago NBC bought the rights and tried to mount an “American Song Contest”. It didn’t work all that well because it was hamstrung by the rigid structure of American network TV. The ESC works (in part) because it is three nights only and they tried to make an entire season of television.

I KNEW IT!!!
