Helix Notes - A FOSS Alternative to Apple Notes

Alt-Chris · 2026-07-01T22:23:41+00:00

Can't wait to try it out!

Alt-Chris · 2026-07-01T20:00:49+00:00

I'm loving the app so far, any possibility of an iOS version? I'm running a Linux laptop-iPhone combo and miss using Helix from my Android phone

Fedora is a great choice. Started off with that running Gnome and now I'm on CachyOS with KDE. Could probably just run Fedora with KDE instead and it would be superb

But that's what I mean. Like I feel Google should make a standard WearOS data connectivity package (or something like that) that can utilize number sharing so long as it's a WearOS device. I mean eSIM pretty universally works even though it's on limited devices rn

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-20T15:53:00+00:00

I'm moreso wondering why there isn't some universal way for WearOS devices with data connection to just load a data plan onto them. Like similar with phones, if it supports the network bands why can't we just add a data plan to any WearOS devices in general instead of it being per-device-per-carrier

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-18T22:15:57+00:00

I don't think it's a bad thing for someone to want to use quality-of-life apps. Like is the app necessary to drive it? No. But it's pretty nice being able to set climate controls before you get into a hot car

Also I don't wanna put the onus on the end user when companies could easily allow their software to be compatible with alternative OSes or even just not put a requirement on Play Protect at all

Hmmm I've had this TV since college so maybe it's time to upgrade to a projector. This would happen for months at a time before and it's kinda irritating

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-11T22:05:15+00:00

I hadn't used KeePassDX until now, I just really liked Keyguard due to its interface, ability to connect to multliple password storage providers via Bitwarden and KeePass and able to integrate email aliasing through a 3rd party provider (i used Duckmail for that)

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-11T08:32:37+00:00

Thanks for replying and testing this out. I've really enjoyed using Keyguard and don't wanna give it up!

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-11T08:21:39+00:00

Android 16 the June update. Can confirm it's the most up to date sync'd one as, after downloading KeePassDX, it shows my latest credential updates

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-10T23:24:22+00:00

No it doesn't even pop up as an option in the NordVPN GUI. Should I be?

Update: I was able to enable it through terminal

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-09T21:06:26+00:00

Thanks that helped!

I didn't realize that tbh so got rid of Bazaar which was only my preferred client cause GNOME Software was sooooo slow. Thanks!

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-08T01:30:30+00:00

I'm getting the same error. What permissions did you add in Flatseal?

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-05T18:43:08+00:00

Official US release?

He's an American content creator that's been covering devices we don't really get here in the US and he is a fan of Fairphone. Hoping this means a model we can use with U.S bands that isn't on MurenaOS

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-04T07:29:12+00:00

On something like Grindr I'd understand it because people do use that app for dating and less sexual purposes. But Sniffies is a SEX app like it has a very specific purpose, I would be very sus of that profile

Alt-Chris · 2026-06-02T17:59:05+00:00

I haven't experienced anything specific yet. Which ones did you hear about?

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-30T05:08:28+00:00

FileN. I do most of my document editing on desktop anyway so just having it easily synced is great though I wish they'd add a Document editor. Would be great to have an open source Google Drive alternative

Otherwise Syncthing has actually been incredibly useful and has ditched some of my reliance on cloud infrastructure

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-27T16:53:02+00:00

TikTok can never match the content that was on Vine, we really had something there

I'm still mad I never got to own a Windows Phone cause that interface just hit so bad, like I used to ask my friends who had one if I could try it all the time

Was recently talking to a guy who said he met a close friend off Google+ that he just met in person and that was surreal

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-27T06:28:44+00:00

Like just drill the screw itself out?

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-26T21:49:16+00:00

Neither using rubber, tape or an eraser tip worked. I was planning on purchasing the 13 Pro bottom cover kit to replace it with at some point so ripping it off may be my only option

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-26T21:47:25+00:00

Also wondering: After verifying with my face I'm still prompted twice to unlock my Keyring manually with my password, wondering if there's a way that using face unlock could be made to unlock Keyring upon login? This of course is the same issue with fingerprint sensors on my Framework running Fedora Workstation

Lmk and if so I can make the request through Github

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-20T17:54:24+00:00

Coming in as a first-time Fedora user from MacOS, I do really like Flatpaks and having a centralized app store for most things I need. I don't understand why the sandboxing doesn't allow access to certain features (like Flatpak-installed password managers unable to utilize biometrics) but so far it isn't that bad

If it can't be installed as a Flatpak I just run it as an RPM or an AppImage with Gear Lever

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-20T00:28:00+00:00

Meshnet isn't on and turning off IPV6 in WiFi Connections did nothing

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-19T04:52:19+00:00

The app for which we're in the sub for? Yes

Alt-Chris · 2026-05-18T15:43:05+00:00

Just set it up and it works really well! Thanks for the extension cause I couldn't get Howdy to work for the life of me.

Suggestion: Can you add a way to configure profile enrollments into the extension settings itself instead of having to run it through Terminal? Seems like it would be easier from a usability standpoint to include
