You would be surprised how hard it can be sometimes to source batteries due to shipping rules and regulations; as well as the general difficulty surrounding just building your own battery pack…which can end badly if you aren’t an electronic engineer or similar professional who knows exactly what they are doing.
I must warn you of the dangers of pushing batteries in a failure state like this though; Lithium batteries can sometimes fail in explosive ways.
Keep an eye on the thermals and don’t let it expand or pop on you.
Either Linux has no idea what your battery is telling it; or your battery is just…toast.
Let’s just hope for your sake it’s just a funny linux bug. Replacing specific laptop batteries can be a tremendous pain if you can’t find a specific cell that works for your device.
I’m sorry to say; but that feature genuinely does not seem to exist in any Open Source PDF reading/editing application.
Just because it “Works For Me!” does not mean it will work.
Beeper very much does not currently allow new users to access the functioning legacy iMessage infrastructure; and Apple itself is making it impractical as well.
From the Beeper Community chatroom on Matrix:
Beeper no longer provides support for iMessage-related issues.
It has become known that Apple has targeted users of legitimate Mac computers for using Beeper to generate iMessage registration data. Beeper has commented about this situation on Twitter/X here and coverage of this issue has been reported in the New York Times here.
As a result of this media pressure, many of those affected have been successful in having their hardware bans lifted. If you are still affected by a ban that you believe is related to generating a registration code on a Mac computer to use iMessage through Beeper please report it to Beeper Help here and please contact Apple Support as well.
As of this time Beeper has removed support for iMessage from Beeper Cloud due to Apple’s actions. It is suggested that those still using registration data generated from a Mac computer to access iMessage through Beeper delete their existing iMessage bridge in Beeper Cloud.
For any further questions related to iMessage please visit our helpful Discord community.
Officially; No.
Informally; there’s a few mods of the stock Discord client; however they’re all closed source because they cannot possibly be fully open source as the stock Discord client is Closed Source.
Basically; alternatives exist; However they are not FOSS, FLOSS, OS or even fully Source Available.
Beeper exists but this is not strictly a Discord-only client and it is not fully Open Source; as some client/server code is only “Source Available”. Beeper is also not fully “Free”; unless you self-host it. Furthermore access to Beeper is heavily join-gated. You will have to source an invitation code from someone you know. (No, I will not provide one.)
If you do get invited to Beeper; use Beeper Cloud, and be aware that iMessage integration does not work.
We need some mad genius to crack Widevine and make a plugin that works for Linux.
It’s going to have to be restricted-source, but hey, honestly we need to break Google’s stranglehold anyways.
Will there even be another version? I’m not ruling out any kind of life shenanigans preventing the devs from doing their amazing thing…
I plan to Continue Refusing To Daily Drive Linux again this year in my standard drive to push Linux, Linux Developers, Managers and Contributors to be more friendly for end users. You have to be better than Windows, and we know you people can achieve it if more can and do contribute. Make Contributing Easy and they will Contribute.
Maybe I’ll spin up a Matrix Homeserver with Beeper bridges to self-host that…if that becomes a necessity. Getting to know how to use and administrate Linux efficiently is always a good thing to learn, even if it’s not easy still, and even if the bad old days were even worse.
The Linux for Windows subsystem is a nice to have that makes learning a little less troublesome.
I get that one may be interested in using electricity when it’s green(er); but I am curious…is there an ongoing reason or incentive to use energy during a “Green” phase as compared to a “Yellow” or “Red” phase that I am missing?
Or is this simply a fun passion project because one wishes to choose to only use green(er) energy than most do?
Or the opposite:
mysterytool -h
-h unrecognized option, --help for help
Both need to burn.
Kick votes alone should never lead to bans or suspensions. Instead; this is when we should switch to server-sided analytics of gameplay and lean heavily on human moderator input to determine if a player might be cheating.
Anti-Cheat should be on server side anyways; not the client side.
I can’t wait for the rise of motherboards with hyper-customized TPMs that can fake legitimate ones and totally gaslight the OS and any anti-cheat running that everything is alright. /s
While this is good advice that is sound…You shouldn’t have to do this! It should just work! This is the primary reason that users reject Linux.
Most users do not have the time and patience necessary to troubleshoot the issue. Too often, with many distros, many things are “Unsupported” because someone stopped maintaining something.
Many users will not enjoy Linux when all distros available have something they are unreasonably required to sacrifice or do without due to lack of support or code necessary.
Now snap some pics of this kitty laying in different places all over this couch; you now have a new meme: Address Space Layout Randomization.
