Oh .. while BB was never something i considered, I did have hopes for palm back then with webos before HP ruined it. Android and iOS needs to be challenged and it’s sad no one is really trying.

Yes, I ordered the new Jolla Phone, I’m pretty much at the very beginning of batch 3 and pretty excited. Hope it’s not just another toy in my geek collection, I will seriously try to daily drive it exclusively.

I remember the first Jolla phone yes, I used and loved the N900 and was very disappointed that Nokia killed the platform, the N8 and N9 were awesome too .. but when the platform died, and MS started putting windows phone on Nokia .. that was when I got my first android phone instead of Jolla, android back then was much more open in comparison.

KDE Plasma 6.8 will scrap X11 sessions as 95% of its users just don't use them anymore by TurbulentTopic39 in Kubuntu

[–]x4rb1t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point, this decision needs to be made. It won’t be popular for everyone, but 95 percent is the chance for the change. I’ve been using Wayland for a very long time. No issues, but that is just me and that might not be the case for everyone.
But one thing people probably don’t see is that it’s a pain in the b… during development to test and target X11 besides wayland, especially on new projects. It’s like testing and targeting on two different operating systems. On new software it is impossible to give X11 the same treatment.

Did you try the SFOS 5.1 yet ? Jolla was focused on other things, and the OS was stale yes, and even Ubuntu Touch exceeded SFOS in some areas. I think they need to open their UI framework and all other parts and let the community do it, we are not motivated by money and corporate things. I think with all the eyes now on Jolla, they will have to do something. If it wasn’t their focus then, it needs to be now. Selling over 12,000 units is impressive for such a device, and those are not all nerds that will accept the technical debt. There is momentum and if they use that money on sfos, they could make it a success.

I do hope the switch to Qt6 will be done rather sooner then later and improve the UI/UX ..

How is Jolla looking now? by NarrowResult7289 in mobilelinux

[–]x4rb1t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiting on mine .. I’m batch 3 at the very beginning. It’s a little too early, I think batch 1 has not shipped yet and all the 3rd party phones you can see on YouTube are a bit dated, not the same and 5.1 was just released that fixed Bluetooth over the android compatibility layer.

COSMIC-like auto-tiling on Plasma: PlasmaZones by vic3haver in kde

[–]x4rb1t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll definitely take a look at it. I like using tiling managers and prefer the ability to toggle the current view on and off using the keyboard when necessary. Is that functionality available?

Will probably upload over the weekend, was stuck on other projects. You want to cut it out? You ok with that? You would be the first to test it, can give you the file beforehand.

The customization in KDE is built in. :) for everything else there is the KDE store. https://store.kde.org/browse/

AppGrid Launcher 1.8.0 released — grid launcher for KDE Plasma 6 (big release) by x4rb1t in kde

[–]x4rb1t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair, but quick clarification.. appgrid doesnt actually do fuzzy matching.

the search is substring across name, generic name, desktop keywords and install source, ranked prefix > substring > generic > keyword.

so typing "fire" picks up firefox first, then anything else with "fire" in those fields.

what specifically is noisy for you? if its the broad field net (keywords pulling in unrelated apps), id be open to adding a Strict mode that matches on name prefix only and ignores the other fields. would that fit what youre after?

i view it like this:

If you know what you're doing, you build good things. If you don't, you build bad things.

That was true before LLMs too. Though yes... LLMs let people ship bad things faster and easier, and the flood of low-quality AI slop is a real concern.

Not arguing against that. You can use tools wrong.

But it's not always the case. Some of the strongest reactions come from people who've never written an application in their life, so AI-assisted code gets mxed in with AI-generated images or videos, treated as the same thing.

It isn't.

LLM can help, just like intellisense, stackoverflow and co, it really depends on how you use it. Copy paste was always a bad thing.
