Linux has had MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) support baked in for some time now. Dell sells such a pen which they call the Dell Active Pen but theoretically any MPP pen should work.

It's not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens

Markdown erlaubt es Bilder von externen Servern einzubinden. Man kann das Bild bei einem der schätzungsweise drölftausend kostenlosen Imagehostern hochladen und so verwenden. Wenn man den Link zur Datei in das Link Feld packt wird das so angezeigt als wäre es hier bei Lemmy hochgeladen worden. Und in den Body des Posts kannst du es mit folgender Syntax integrieren:

![alt text](https://hoster.tld/path/to/file.extention)

Kann man übrigens auch machen wenn das animierte Gifs zu groß ist um bei Lemmy hochgeladen zu werden oder wenn man einfach den Speicherplatz der eigenen Instanz schonen möchte.

People are lonely. Is it because we are addicted to our phones, or is that a symptom of larger design choices we made when building our places? We cover some of the general concepts related to social infrastructure an try to evaluate what to do next.

A way to long introduction

I've been toying with the idea of getting a second phone to put postmarket OS on. So out of curiosity I've been going through the available software checking if I could maybe even use such a device as a daily diver. The result: Not yet, but it is very close (purely from an app availability standpoint). Most use cases have functioning apps or apps that are actively worked on. I did however notice some gaps. Now, my programming knowledge is very small and I don't really have the time to learn and then develop/maintain the apps. At least not at the moment. I have been checking out penpot however. Penpot is a browser-based graphic design tool with a focus on UI/UX design tool, similar to figma, but open source. And there is a mostly complete asset pack for gnome/adwaita applications available. (Side note to everyone trying it out: If you are getting weird flickering then it might be a Nvidia/Wayland issue. Switching to X should resolve it)

Long story short: I have cheated some mock-ups for some apps that I am hereby sharing with the world. Some of them are a bit rough around in some places but maybe someone finds themself inspired by it. All of them are mobile first designs but since its Adwaitas design language it shouldn't be too hard to imagine how they would look on a desktop. If you decide to use one of my designs then you don't need to credit me (though it certainly would be appreciated)

I suspect that most people won't be familiar with (2/3 of) the underlying services that my ideas are build upon. Feel free to check them out; I recommend them wholeheartedly.

App 1: Cookbook

An image of a gtk app in a mobile style form factor (portrait orientation) The home page.  The app lists some recipes An image of a gtk app in a mobile style form factor (portrait orientation) The category view. Some different categories are displayed in their own cards An image of a gtk app in a mobile style form factor (portrait orientation) but it is too long to show content, that would normally require scrolling. The ingreients and instructions for preparing a meal are given. An image of a gtk app. The same content as before but in a more desktop friendly configuration

There used to be a piece of software called gnome recipes. But development on that app has since been abandoned and I think they had the wrong approach to it anyway. The old project aimed to not only supply the software but also the content, shipping a curated list of community supplied recipes. I am looking for a solution to save recipes from the numerous food blogs and recipe websites, that syncs using a (self hostable) online service. And wouldn't you know it such a service already exists in the form of "Cookbook" a nextcloud add-on. This app would simply act as an additional frontend. Import happens via a schema.org json template that a lot of websites use to store and display their content. That format does also allow to store nutritional information, meaning that nextcloud is also capable of saving that. I did not make place for that because it seemed to clutter the UI and I personally don't care too much about having that information easily accessible, especially since most sources don't include it in my experience. My mockup does include a floating button that allows to quickly jump between the ingredients and your last scroll position.

I was inspired by a Android/iOS app called [körbchen](koerbchen.app], which offers the same service but isn't open source or self hostable. An already hosted instance of nextcloud cookbook is operated for example by murena, the folks behind the /e android rom btw.

Squeeze Remote

The Lyrion Music Server (previously known as Logitech Music Server) allows you to create your own wifi enabled speaker system (for example using a raspberry pi). Accessing music from your NAS, a webradio or steaming service is possible, complete with multiroom support (allowing you to chain multiple speakers together so that they play the same thing at the same time). But to operate such a system one needs a remote. The server offers a web app but that one isn't particularly nice.

Lemmy

Last but not least of course here is my idea how a gtk client could look like. I know there are already two projects which tried to build such an app, but development seems to have stalled or been outright abandoned. I tried to build [email protected] for Linux a couple of weeks ago. That worked reasonably well, but at the end it still feels alien because at the end of the day it is an android and ios app. Using it with a mouse felt even weirder because it is not designed that way. Anyway: Maybe third time is the charm for gtk apps.

If anyone else has similar mock-ups flying around on their hard drive, feel free to post them in the comments.

I like the term "extermination" which the ICC's chief prosecutor used in his charging document against Bibi.

Genocide requires intent. There is at least the possibility that Israel is merely showing careless disregard and willful ignorance towards Palestinian lifes. That doesn't make a practical difference, of course. The fact that Israel is maybe? not as racist as they could be, doesn't help all the dead or starving civilians.

That's why I like the term extermination. It's precise but doesn't require intent. It doesn't imply that Israels interest in defeating Hamas is merely a smokescreen (for the record: I don't think Hamas can be defeated militarily, but I understand the interest).

And it does all that without being a euphemism.

Edit: a previous version of this contained a Freudian slip where I confused the names of Biden and Netanjau.

The EU needs more high-speed trains.

There is an EU petition going around to get the European Commission to put in place a legally binding act to establish a European high-speed train network, connecting EU capitals, as quickly as possible.

The link to the petition, as well as the site with more information, are in the pinned post.

These official EU petitions are actually meaningful, and are not your typical online petition, as they require confirmation of identity (e.g., through DigID). It is only open to residents of the EU.

Please consider signing it if you are a resident of the EU.

Obviously this initiative would only be part of the solution. What we really need are more regional trains throughout Europe, and better public transit for everyone.

Nevertheless, a trunk of high-speed train routes between capitals would go a long way towards building a viable alternative to flying and driving within Europe. Just as the Shinkansen (literally "new trunk line") do in Japan.

My point here is: don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Please sign and share the petition, and let's get the EU committed to trains.

Petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/screen/home
