  • Does self hosting your own internet count?

  • I believe the only part of Meshcore that's not FOSS is the official app, and there's a FOSS alternative.

    Personally, I'd use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered "test" messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).

    MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages, but MC is better for establishing a region-wide communication network.

  • Mesh also allows you to use encryption.

  • And both use LoRa which is proprietary.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • I love multi desktop in Mint. It's frustrating because it works so much better in Mint than it does in Windows (which I have to use for work)

  • I solve the alt tab game issue by having multiple desktops. I bind them to Alt + 1, Alt + 2, etc. Instead of alt tabbing, I just switch to another desktop. It's not a perfect solution, but it works for me.

  • BentoPDF v1.16.0

    Jump

  • I thought it was neat and installed it, but I had no specific use cases.

    It came in handy when I was trying to combine a bunch of PDFs a few weeks later. Then I used it again to remove some pages from another PDF. I like having it around

  • I can't say I've heard of that before. I'm glad you enjoy it.

  • Retired cop jailed for 37 days over Charlie Kirk meme sues, saying his First Amendment rights were violated

    Jump

  • He posted a quote of Trump dismissively saying to get over a school shooting after Kirk got shot. This cop was essentially saying the right should just get over Kirk's death. That's not what a fascist would say.

  • Word.

    Jump

  • I got so frustrated trying to use Word to write a document at work that I just gave up and wrote the whole damn thing in LaTeX. Lots of nested bulleted lists (or worse, numbered lists) and Word do not play nicely.

    Sucks to be the guy who has to edit it when I'm gone.

  • What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?

    Jump

  • I love to shit on companies for doing evil shit (like Apple removing Targeted Display Mode from their iMacs), but Apple did the right thing here, but communicated it in the worst way possible.

    I had an old iPhone that would randomly shut down when it drew too much power for the old battery to provide. If they hadn't done the fix, I would have had to get a new phone; it just wasn't reliable anymore. With the fix, things were slow, but they worked. Honestly, this is the opposite of planned obsolescence.

  • Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read

    Jump

  • Lower "L"s and upper "i"s are basically identical in Calibri. It's a sans serif font that's hard to read for everyone. Calibri is an shit font and never should have been used on any government documents.
