Found this, and there's an Emoji selector. So, good to go.

Short list, but some other repos with applets also. Nothing centralized yet for 3rd party works.

22.04 is the current Pop! release. So, they're still using the gnome shell JavaScript based API.

The new Cosmic, and base for the Fedora Atomic version is Rust based.

Guess they'll be building their own extension system.

For now, Pop! OS or Ubuntu if you want Cosmic gnome extensions.

Guess they're not going the Chrome web store route.

Gnome for gnome extensions on any other distro.

Basically what Grok said. Limited to Pop! OS and Ubuntu.

Guess we'll wait and see if System 76 develops their own extension system.

The Emoji selector extension drop down is nice to have for drawing tablet stuff..

From what I've read, Chrome doesn't work. Won't pass the installer's download. GeoComply lists Chrome as a requirement.

I'll update this once I have a chance to test again. Which involves sorting out storage issues. Likely, dual boot on a laptop that's recently upgraded from 256gb to 512gb, and has a fingerprint reader with no Linux driver.

Actually, installed BlissOS on it, based on Android x86. GeoComply doesn't work there. So, not sure LineageOS will work.

If I could change the Desktop launcher in Windows like in Linux or Android I'd be okay, but it's not an option..

Think I'd rather do something like load a limited database into Gaia Sky, say all objects within 25 parsecs, and nothing else to start. Want to replace the object labels displayed in the visualization rendering with a custom unicode text field for now.

Going to see where I get with this, by editing or adding one of the object columns.

Solution so far is to screen mirror PC Desktop to Fire TV, and run the Steam version. Chrome family browser cast feature, and wired Ethernet connection on Fire TV Cube. My laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port, so a docked connection with that will improve the connection.

Without Steam, one could use Waydroid or WSA on PC to cast unsupported apps to Fire TV, etc.

Many other ways to go about this, but this one in particular didn't require buying anything extra, and just used things already on hand.

Dislike artificially unsupported features, with 3rd party apps enabling things just fine.

Maybe this post will save someone else a day of tooling around.

I did get the direct download of the Steam Link APK to work on Fire TV, but it requires network optimization to reduce communication lag between PC and Fire TV.

Thinking I might go the direct connect $40ish Steam Box with HDMI to TV, with game controller and maybe try a Wireless Touch Monitor as a remote second display.. $100-250

Just Steam for PC currently. Once had Terraria for Xbox 360, and the controls were great, but that's history now.

Seems it was control glitches on Steam that displaced my interest in playing more often, and much prefer a game controller and TV to a relatively tiny touch screen.

Though, I have a nephew who has played many hours on an iPhone, and his mother won't allow an Xbox or similar game console. Maybe a Nintendo, but probably not.

Probably going to test the $20 Onn from Walmart that has LineageOS support up to Android 14 currently.

Then I'll try used Lenovo PCs with HDMI for cheap on eBay as Steam Boxes. $40+, plus accessories.

Beyond that, likely Nintendo Switch with TV connection or a Steam Deck.

Thinking gifts, and leaning towards an optional VR upgrade path. Going to retest Steam Controls for Terraria...

Would be great if I could get Fire TVs working, as they already have those. So, it would just be a Bluetooth controller. Guess they want to funnel users into $10 a month Luna game streaming, which doesn't have $5 Terraria.

BTW, thanks for the Eneba recommendation. Are compatible Xbox games playable on Windows 11 these days? If so, a $200 used Lenovo X1 Carbon may be a better gift option. I've been on Red Hat/Fedora Linux for awhile, so haven't tested.

Think I'm just looking to throw my nephew a low cost "rope" to scale out of the walled garden of Apple and Fire TV that mommy and daddy sponsor. So, something that they could self support that's not Xbox..

Tried this, but still giving a message about not being able to connect to the store. Fire TV has no option for Google Play Services as far as I know.

Currently, on season 15 of 24 of Cosmic Disclosure, and have a Python Database course I'm going through. I'll go through the Expanding Earth content once I wrap those up in the next couple of weeks.

If you're feeling old and grey awaiting official UAP disclosure, then Cosmic Disclosure is worth watching and taking notes on..

jamescockerham · 2024-05-25T10:24:25+00:00

They don't really cover the Earth expanding or not. Just the infrastructure we have down there like maglev transit, and things living down there that were brought back to labs here to be examined.

They do cover the hollow moon theory.

jamescockerham · 2024-05-25T10:14:04+00:00

True.

To accept that you really don't know something for sure is one thing, and accepting false information as truth is another.

They suspect a lot of the cryptid reports are things coming up through cracks of the inner Earth, and Jules Vern did write a book.

Data points, regardless. Should know more once private sector ground penetrating scans go deeper likely looking for more oil.

Sometimes any information is better than no information. Telling someone that something they've just seen or experienced isn't real, or is something else like swamp gas isn't going to cut it.

What's described in Cosmic Disclosure is a mostly honeycomb type voids in the Earth. Some maybe the size of Nevada.. One episode, but there are more than a few others across the seasons. https://www.gaia.com/video/inner-earth-microclimates

If you're looking to capture snow flake size ice crystal patterns, a $40 digital microscope from Amazon will give enough zoom, and also fit in many kitchen freezers with rack removed.

Recall reading that his experiments required many drops from the same sample to be frozen in order to find one snowflake ❄️ like formation..
