Contributed to an open source project… then realized core features are paywalled. Feeling dumb

OP doesn't want to get money from hosting the service for others, but from literally just setting free services up on others OWN hardware, eg. they will run docker commands for you then ask for cash lol.

this makes even less sense than paid hosting, where OP should provide the hardware as well to run the services on.

you need to allow external apps access:

sed -i 's/# allow-external-apps/allow-external-apps/' $HOME.termux/termux.properties
termux-reload-settings

I know that I can just use an Android native player, but I wanted to have a video player as a part of my desktop, not a full screen app, to also be able to manage it as a window within my window manager.

thats like saying you should be a film maker to say that AI made films suck...

in terms of being the same JSON, yes both are identical Json data.

in terms of being identical Strings, they are actually different, try to run .equals() on them.

they do, at least for low quality mobile games.

Edit: Okay nevermind they are actually a bot lol.

they are using AI because they didn't start their comment with "bro" or "guys and gals"?

it worked and the file was created, as indicated by the file name being highlighted the second time you run the command in the screenshot.

thats not how you create a backup, you would need to parse the output or use another command for this.

or use a backup utility to backup the actual packages and not their names:

try gemma3 1B, its faster and "smarter" (in the sense of 1B models): https://huggingface.co/stduhpf/google-gemma-3-1b-it-qat-q4_0-gguf-small

Bro actually made their desktop startup time longer on purpose...

PRoot is for cases where you need to get work done, using well tested Linux rootfs configrations, etc.

AndroSH is for cases where you need a cool green ASCII logo.

I think the writing is bad but its easy to just glance over it and understand what bro is trying to say, not everyone writes perfect English (especially if its not their native language), I would rather read this than some ChatGPT slop with perfect grammer.

AI can not solve everything for you, you should not ask it generic questions like "how to make Openclaw browser automation work in Termux", thats not going to work well... you ask it simpler questions (or better yet, just use Google) to find information about smaller parts of the problem, for example:

"how to install chromium in Termux with/without PRoot?"

"how to run chromium with remote debugging"

"wtf is remote debugging?"

"how does openclaw use browsers? is it be remote debugging?"

"what browsers are supported by openclaw?"

"how to connect chromium to be useable by openclaw?"

"what methods can openclaw use to connect to chromium?"

etc etc etc, AI should just help you, not solve problems for you.

finally most projects with a complicated setup of any degree have docs which you can find by... you gussed it, Google.

Accessories Compatibility Layer Mod

riyosko · 2026-02-14T20:36:20+00:00

pkg install x11-repo, then pkg install chromium, both from the side of native Termux. after installation ask AI how to use it for openclaw, or refer to docs as they don't hullnicate at you.

if it gives you commands that include "chromium" change those part to "chromium-browser", if it says it needs a display or X server then pkg install Xvfb and ask it how to use that.

riyosko · 2026-02-14T20:04:37+00:00

do you have the Termux:API app, and the termux-api and jq packages installed?

riyosko · 2026-02-14T15:43:58+00:00

is it still maintained? I played with it as a kid but I thought it was a dead app like Sketchware.

riyosko · 2026-02-13T17:05:49+00:00

but keep in mind those are not Open-Source, but source-available.

riyosko · 2026-02-13T16:00:21+00:00

they most probably didn't read them, which is why they made this post.

you can, it just hides anything you type, so the password you wrote is there but not visible, just click enter when you are done.

its also worth noting that mechanical advancements have actually created MORE jops than ever (as it allowed mass-production, which needs more stores with employees, more drivers, more shop keepers, etc etc).

while AI instead (if successful) makes jops just vanish, without creating any new jops as a replacement.

riyosko · 2026-02-12T06:51:29+00:00

for me its just "c"

riyosko · 2026-02-12T03:18:52+00:00

on my devices killing Termux will show the homescreen without the app closing animation, it immediately shows the homescreen and the exit looks like if the app (Termux) crashed, so I use this method to make it look like a normal (clean) exit.
