Windows: PowerToys. First thing I get approval to install on a work machine. PowerToys Run (Launchy on roids) saves me from the built in Windows search, a quick calculator, etc. PowerRename gets used more frequently than I care to admit. Video Conference mute is a second nature key combination. Can’t remember the name of the window manager module but it is a key part of my workflow.

Android: As I’ve mentioned in a reply, Edge Gestures has been on my phone for years (first installed on a Pixel 3). Having 10+ apps accessible (especially 2FA, password vault, home assistant) from any screen, plus gestures for quick controls (flashlight, brightness slider) is incredibly handy. And unlike the notification shade, the edges of the phone can actually be reached with your thumb.

Linux: Docker. It’s been an instrumental part of building out my home server which allowed me to kill my Microsoft 365 & Google One subscriptions. For me it has been the gateway drug in to learning more and more about self hosting - to Proxmox, LXCs & VMs, pihole and unbound, etc.

This is a nice share. I have used Edge Gestures for years (made by the same dev who created Square Launcher, which was my daily driver coming off Windows Phone) and this is a nice augmentation to that.

I am curious about the usefulness of the functionality behind the paywall. It looks like some of the app launching features could replace what I use edge gestures for, but without a trial to test it I can’t be certain.

If you use the pro version, can you let me know if there is a way to pick from multiple applications to launch?

Here’s an example of the application shortcuts in Edge Gestures:

When informed that he predated the Boomer generation by four years, Biden explained that taking a title away from a younger generation “is actually the most Boomer thing one could do, so it still counts!”

Kamala Harris was quick to assure ageing employees across America that she, while younger, was also technically a boomer.

My wife fulfills this role.

I found that Flameshot does not automatically select an annotation tool after snipping - which turned me off it.

Unless there is a setting I missed that enabled that. I went with Ksnip as a result.

ShareX is my favourite, but that UI doesn’t scale.

If you’re using something like graphene OS, use gboard and deny it network permissions.

Or use another app like tracker control to deny it internet access.

My memory is fuzzy, but Perfect Dark had bots, while Goldeneye did not?

Perfect dark also had a greater number of modes/settings.

I prefer KDE for touchscreens. What is it about GNOME you feel gives it an edge?

Missed opportunity for krazy and komplex.

What are we talking? Haymaker? A stiff jab?

I skip every article with “slams” in the headline.

Isn’t that because it was spread by the British in the first place?

Thanks!

Can you link me to that community? I searched for degoogled and came up dry.

I had nothing to do with this.

In what ways? Transcoding?

Could you elaborate on what makes the name a good one?

The self hosted solution is free if you are setting it up on your own device. I never looked in to hosting on fly.io myself.

It won’t be as easy to set up as Keep (no email invites, you’ll need to copy long and obscure URI codes between devices) but once set up, it’s smooth.

You’re posting in the open-source community so I won’t suggest Google keep (even though the wife and I use it for our shopping list - adding by voice using the Nest Hub in the kitchen is super handy)… But I will suggest a mixed oss/non-oss solution.

Obsidian, plus a self hosted Obsidian livesync. It does real-time writes to the hosted couchdb, and of set up correctly these changes can propogate live.
