I use and enjoy it too, but sadly it is not FOSS.

That’s a separate OS setting. Signal itself has its own setting for which content is actually sent in the notification.

All of the results are very odd. If you look through the other categories, Simplified Chinese gained THIRTY percent, the Hard Drive categories also wildly changed, and 32 GB RAM jumped +18%. It seems to me like a bunch of Chinese systems just flooded the statistics.

Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

That shouldn’t be too restricting for people using discord to chat with their friends though.

This toot is a response to a very similar question from someone else.

Also keep in mind, LTS versions always offer 5 years of support, so the current PopOS 22.04 LTS will receive support until April 2027, and the new PopOS 24.04 LTS will receive updates until April 2029.

PopOS isn’t going anywhere?

They’ve been working on their own Desktop Environment (COSMIC) for quite a while, an alpha and a beta already exists and the release is planned for December 11th (source).

If other people want to try:

NPR test

ABX test

It depends, some better Bluetooth headphones (like the Sony WH-1000XM family) support protocols other than SBC, which have a lot higher bandwidth.

I find the Jellyfin webapp a pretty bad experience on mobile, compared to FinDroid.

I really like the webapp on my LG webOS TV (especially good with the Magic Remote) though.

So I guess it kind of depends on the platform.

I actually use both apps, I find Organic Maps a lot nicer for looking at a map and navigating by foot or bike, and Magic Earth seems to pick more sensible car routes some times. Also the live traffic data makes it more fitting for car navigation (Organic Maps doesn’t have traffic data).

Jellyfin did some work on integrating the Skip Intros plugin a lot better, AFAIK you just have to enable it once on your server and then once in the settings of all Jellyfin web players.

As for apps, there are some good native third party apps which I mentioned here.

Was this with the first party Jellyfin app or with Swiftfin?

If it was with the first party app, I’d definitely recommend giving Swiftfin a try.

Jellyfin has native apps for Android, Android TV and iOS.

Does Plex offer native apps (that aren’t just stripped down browsers) for more platforms?

I can highly recommend Magic Earth as a Google Maps alternative (also available for Android). It uses OSM data and has some traffic info. It’s not as good as Google, but it’s the closest I’ve found so far.

This program is a client for the very solid Tvheadend TV streaming server. Tvheadend supports pretty much any source you can think of, but is a little more complicated to setup.

Tvheadend is a selfhosted service meant to be run on your own server with your own TV dongles / IPTV channels / etc.

If you only want to watch TV on your PC, doing so with something like Kodi is probably a better idea, as Kodi also supports USB tuners and is simpler to setup (doesn’t require a separate server).

I really like Pop!_OS, AFAIK it doesn’t have any telemetry. It’s basically a Ubuntu fork but without the stupid Ubuntu stuff, and they’re currently even working on their own Desktop Environment.

Magic Earth (while not FOSS, it’s privacy oriented though) can do this.

There’s also Transportr, but AFAIK it’s been unmaintained for quite a while now, so it may not work / stop working soon.

Adding to what others here have already said, I’d definitely download Signal and see if you can get any people to move from WhatsApp/Telegram/whatever to Signal.

I don’t know much about iOS apps, but you could look into more privacy focused YouTube clients, and possibly 2FA clients too (although that’s a bit of a controversial topic on iOS AFAIK).

I saw you mention in another comment that you use Amazon Alexa for smart home appliances. Depending on interest in selfhosting / time / motivation to move away from Amazon, you could look into using Home Assistant instead. It even has a Lemmy community: !homeassistant@lemmy.world.

Yep my mistake, I confused ShadowSocks with Cloak.

I’m afraid your best bet here will be using WhatsApp.

Edit:
FindMy (for Android) might also be usable for that, but honestly if you just want it to work I’d still vouch for WhatsApp.
