For some reason, I thought Ubuntu touch was EOL. Probably because I tried it on a Redmi 5 and it was an unofficial 2018 build. Is the Morph browser still supported? I checked the Github page and the last changes were 3 years ago.

Pornhub’s 2024 statistics show that almost 5% of traffic came from Linux devices. This number doesn’t include PCs that are used purely for work (probably).

Enshitification in action. During 2024, Telegram declared war on rooted Android alongside WhatsApp and Viber. This means you can’t log in to your account if you have root access or if you don’t have Google services.

Ubuntu touch is dead. Are there at least native browsers for it?

It’s a video

Marketers manage to convince tech-savvy people that their device is almost unusable by manipulating percentages. For example, “50% brighter screen, 30% more energy efficient”. It even worked for me when I didn’t want to buy a previous phone model just because the latest generation had a 50% brighter screen. But then I realized that I was perfectly happy with the screen of my 4 year-old phone.

“Just Google it,” they said. So, you Google it. You find one result. It’s a forum post. From you.

It’s pretty clear. Facebook is now full of crap created by artificial intelligence (and not only).

Where are my weather widgets?

I use Parabolic on Linux and YTDLnis on Android. I chose them because of the consistency of design with the OS.

There are many GUIs for yt-dlp.

Some Google Maps links containt actual coordinates,

http://maps.google.com/?ll=XX.XXXX%2CXX.XXXX

They are usually generated by 3rd party apps. Like taxi or delivery apps. But links shared from Google maps themselves are encoded on the server side and look like this:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/GJq5XvqhJnJsS8pU8

I don’t see any reason to encode locations in this way, except to make life difficult for users of other maps. This should be considered anti-competitive behavior.

P.S. I just realized that Google Maps generates a unique link for each share and tracks every user who clicks on that link.

no-ip requires manually prolongue domain once a month on free plan. Duckdns doesn’t.

Does any device support UHS-II except cameras or cardreaders?

osm2gmaps can also convert Google Maps links to geo:, despite it is designed to do the opposite.

Touchscreen ia cheaper than physical buttons.
