Fair. It'd still be nice to have upgradeable RAM, tho.

Yeah, if I'm Israeli, I'd leave too. Fuck that country.

I do get where they're coming from with Lua. With luci (the web interface), Lua must be installed as it's a requirement. However, it might be the stripped down version as well (AFAIK). Also, if you know bash & coreutils already, it might be counterproductive to have to learn something new.

I'm just glad that I could help. It's not fun to get stuck in such technical roadblock.

Yeah I hear you. While I personally never fell like it's that severe of functional limitations, I am aware on how stripped down busybox is. I'm also aware that some systems lives off 4MiB of flash and 32MiB of memory, so if you ask that question, you might get the answer "yes, it is necessary".

Meanwhile, if you have the luxury to install bash (or other full-featured shell), then that's one option to consider. You seem lime you're familiar with UNIX shell, and Lua is a whole new language. The Lua interpreter that comes by default might be stripped down as well anyway.

Is it better than PinePhone?

I got OpenWRT on my home router and I've never had this issue. I guess I just never have that advanced of a use case for its command line.

You're also free to install bash (or other sh) if space allows.

I feel like you're doing something wrong if you live in a non English country and never get exposed to the local language.

I say we fucked up the moment we existed.

XFCE vs LXQt (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/linux
 

I'm not trying to start a war here, just wondering what your takes are. They pretty much have the same concept of lightweight desktop, but with different toolkits.

I'm a KDE person myself, but I've had experience with XFCE.

I've tried LXQt in the past but never really gotten into it, perhaps the timing was just not right.

 
 

Do we have a default application for Note?

I know it sounds mundane, but we have calculator, sound recorder, music player, even web browser. It just seems a bit strange we don't have a basic plain-text note application.

I usually use Markor. I have no complaint overall except that it would stick out like sore thumb on my front screen due to it not having the themed icon.

Devs & fellow users, what do y'all think?

 

Hello devs!

Just a little input from me: when we're showing specific comment (like from profile or from inbox), it would be nicer to be able to show just the parent comment for context, instead of showing the whole thing (only to have the user look for it).

Quick Home Button (sh.itjust.works)

Hi there! Thank you for having this app on F-Droid, and more importantly for creating this app! As a (former) user of Infinity, I'm really grateful to have basically the same app for Lemmy.

I'd like to give a bit of my input. Actually this is a bit of my pet peeve from the old app as well.

Compared to the other apps (e.g. Boost, Jerboa), this one does not provide a homing button (i.e. a clear way to return to top). While the Refresh button in the menu is useful, relying on that is less than ideal. It is awkward at best and confusing at worst.

I'm not sure if the general consensus here would agree (some input here would be appreciated), the general flow on social media app would be to simply press the home button to go to the top of the feed, occasionally swiping down to refresh. This has worked for me not only on Twitter & Instagram, but also on Mastodon apps (both the official app as well as Tusky), the other Reddit apps, as well as other Lemmy apps.

I noticed that the bottom nav bar is identical with the Reddit app. However, the two buttons on the left are redundant as they function exactly the same (due to Lemmy not having the equivalent to multireddit). Could we have the leftmost button as home? I feel like it's the de facto standard these days.

I'd like to know what y'all think!
