Telegram, the ‘Saved’ channel is very useful, good for quick note taking and sending files across devices. I consider its contents public and don’t upload anything important tho.

i think you can just use yt-dlp -x {youtube link} to get audio btw.

nope they’re completely creating a new page, not a modification of the youtube website.

i think it was privacytools.io that got me here first, then reddit fucked up in 2023 and i actually got to use it more.

yeah i always do this with tigervnc server on X11. create a vncpasswd file and place xinitrc on ~/.vnc/xstartup, then run vncserver :1 to create X11 display :1 and vnc server on port 5901. if you want to start vnc on a (physical) session already running, you can run x0vncserver. there’s also x11vnc but x0vncserver feels much faster for me.

there’s freetube for desktop, i hate how it’s an electron ‘app’ though

yes it’s devtools.debugger.skip-pausing, set to true

I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.

yeah so i was thinking the ‘android desktop mode’ you meant was the linux virtualization thing lol. termux-x11 is different from that, no virtualization, just a normal android app so in fullscreen mode can work like a linux x11 session with access to android files, but can just click home button to run android stuff.

you mentioned “single device for all my computing needs” so i assumed you wanted your phone to work as a linux desktop. i guess that’s not it…

if you can connect it to a large display, you can just use termux-x11 and use it like any other unix/x11 desktop machine. i do this with a samsung tablet.

miracast doesn’t work on linux.

chinese (prc) afaik

i had an .ml account since much before the 2023 reddit exodus, but later realized some controversies related to the .ml operators and decided to move. i had heard of sdf.org before and noticed they created a fresh lemmy instance so i signed up. these days there doesn’t seem to be much maintenance done though… (at least communication wise)

poco f1 maybe. runs mainline linux

i like my xperia xz1c, but its very hard to replace battery

mine was online, but it’s pretty buggy recently.

true, but everything inside termux would still be up to date.
