I just gave the money I wouldve spent on Google Drive for a year ($25) to SOMA FM bc I listen to Soma stations all day every day. I suggest you do this kind of thing too. As you move away from bigtech, spread the money love to those who need it and help build the new Interwebs.
Stations I recommend:
- Cool Dance radio
- Defcon
- Fluid
- Synphaera
- Sonic Universe Avant jazz
- Psyndora
- Space Station
- and of course Groove Salad

Звісно повноцінний тест він ще не пройшов, але виглядає найкращим з того всього що я бачив раніше, а саме P2Play та Thorium.
Має можливість налаштовувати швидкість відтворення, але не повідомляє системі що є плеєром. Тому керувати відтворенням з навушників не виходить, це дуже погано. Надіюсь що скоро поправлять. Поточна версія 1.0.3. У репозиторії F-Droid це всього третій випуск.

Here's my SeinSmart Genmitsu 4030 ProxerXL in its new robot box. I've tried to tighten up the spindle and tool a bit for another pass.
I plan to buy longer hex wrenches tomorrow to get more leverage.
This is working on 3/8 in / ~9.5 mm thick 6061 aluminum at 100 mm / minute with a 3.175 mm flat tool at 0.5 mm depth per pass with a custom gcode generator.

UPDATE to the UPDATE 
I added a new build script that prepares a macOS bundle, and then builds a .dmg that contains it. Added a .dmg build to the pre-release.
GitHubRelease First release 0.0.1 almost works! · ha1tch/retromansionThis is a first binary release that almost works.
Just wanted to show binaries that basically do the work, despite the many bugs that still need to be corrected.
Enjoy!
Google Docs is not just a word processor — it’s a data trap.
Every document you create, every comment you write, every revision you make… is stored, analyzed, and retained.
What’s the risk? – Docs are scanned for “policy violations”
– Metadata is logged and tied to your account
– Access can be revoked or flagged without warning
– You're not in control of your intellectual property
Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about owning what’s yours.
There's a #Firefox addon that fills out those "can we please track you forever?" cookie popups. I used it for years and loved it, but I lost it in a reinstall, and I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called.
it shows up as a dark blue box with light blue highlighting. If anyone knows what it is, please tell me. I miss it dearly.
Edit: SOLVED! It's consent-o-matic.

UPDATE: Added build scripts to cross-compile Mac, Linux, and Windows binaries.

UPDATE to the UPDATE I added a new build script that prepares a macOS bundle, and then builds a .dmg that contains it. Added a .dmg build to the release
Pre-release 0.0.1 by way of a demo, includes binaries for the three major desktop systems:
https://github.com/ha1tch/retromansion/releases/tag/0.0.1
If you wish to cross-compile yourself, the scripts assume you're on macOs, you will need Mingw32 to build for Windows, and something like Docker or Orbstack to build for Linux.

Its the stock keyboard developed for #LineageOS, I believe.
It's not quite as nice as #GBoard, but it's honestly quite nice.
They've made a lot of improvements to it in the past few years. They added emoji and motion gestures. For me, it only lacks emoji search and glide typing. Oh, and a deletion gesture. And per-character haptic feedback when using the motion gestures.
But it's like 80% there and fully #FOSS.
Quite nice.
