The liberux nexx, recently announced they're still trying to get the phone out and it has a headphone jack!

If your game supports controller give me the option to change the button faces to whatever I prefer. Some people like Nintendo button layout, others PlayStation, other Xbox. Whatever it is, don't hard code one set - they're just some pngs, support them all.

I use AI as a rubber duck, to compliment the rubber ducks on my desk when they don't give enough feedback. So it's use is mostly conceptual, I find that models that provide "thinking" output perhaps more useful than whatever its actual answer is because it asks questions about edge cases I might not have considered.

As for code generation, I hate it. It outputs garbage, forgets things, hallucinates, and whatever thing it writes I'll have to rewrite anyway to actually make it compile.

As I'm fairly isolated at work I think it makes a good pair programmer partner, so to speak. Offering suggestions that I can take into consideration and research heavily if I think it's a good one.

Sounds like you just want an easy file share server - might I suggest copyparty https://github.com/9001/copyparty

It was made just a few months ago, runs on everything, and can be set up with a single python command!

Yes, but that it can be temperamental and finicky. If you have a rooted phone currently you need to trick a different service called play protect into thinking that your device is kosher, so to speak; different updates from Google can and have broken the processes that have worked in the past.

Needless to say a solution needs to be robust, the possibility to not access your gov id because a private company changed a process and decides you don't get to use the same loophole you've used till now isn't great from a technical or security standpoint. I would imagine it's even more frustrating for non-US citizens as their government is relying on a foreign company with a notably bad track record of keeping services available.

It's not that such a technology is hard to make, it's more about adoption. Even better than a particular product we could gather around would be a set of standards that the community could build various products around (so long as they meet those standards). That however feels unlikely from the current US administration and based on the EU's recent GitHub proclamation on their age verification act.

I don't know if they'd even be up for it but at this point I think the best option would be Framework getting into it as theyre already trusted by the community.

But even if we get the hardware down there's another issue - we need an open source, government approved, bank approved Wallet app. There's only Google or Apple wallet to store important documents on Mobile at the moment. Frustratingly, some governments are using only those two as a source for national verification which is obviously a problem.

Cold brewed tea is great! It has noticeably less tannin tasting, if I know I want tea in the future I generally cold brew c: especially nice if you like making different kinds of syrups!

Code in Rust and you can get double colons for your library path imports!

Really? I assumed postgres was the default for basically all open source projects

I mean isn't that literally what Zeus did to the Titans? Older gods of a different mountain being usurped by new hip gods

In that same vein, give zellij a look! I use it pretty constantly whenever I'm sshing in a nominatim server

That's a tough call, on one hand recruiting (obviously). On the other, we could set up a bot to spam the number to hell and back so they can't get any actual calls
