Uninstall YouTube, and you'll get your browser thingie. 😅.

You should be able to do to YouTube's Android settings and revoke the rights to auto-open.

OsmAnd allows me to see changes in hours, for OrganicMaps I have to wait a full month.

Oh, I very much know that! But only on OsmAnd I can see those changes being applied a few hours later instead of a month later.

I wish Organic Maps had up-to-date maps. If there is any possibility for that please let me know!

Let's say you have 2 scripts that do some stuff:

• script A: turns a light pink for 20 seconds and then through a smart speaker you can hear 30 seconds of La Macarena.
• script B: send 25 notifications to your phone, spaced by 30 seconds, in which each notification is a different letter of an encrypted message.

If you want those things to happen independently you must parallelize them.

So think about an automation that at a certain point you want to launch multiple scripts. I'd always parallelize, even if initially these scripts were "instantaneous", because you might change these and add more complexities in the future.

Parallel stuff is also used for... Well, some sequences you want to run in parallel.

Also, test your automations! Specially those critical. It's very essy, you can virtually trigger them.

Manual interventions in Arch are very very ralely needed. And most of the times they are needed... You don't need to do shit because it's about some weird legacy package you don't have.

I would say that does apply in the case of Endeavour OS but shouldn't for a custom install with 100 % Arch+AUR packages.

Totally agree.

*GUI installer

I am also thinking of starting an open source project, and honestly, will do it on Github, because so far, GitHub does not require microphone or location access, yadayada... And the AI thing would happen anyway. Do you think Google has not used GitHub repos for training Gemini?

I am very interested in syncing the repo with a federated git server, but from what I am reading Codeberg/Forgejo still don't have federation working?

The dracut-systemdboot thing makes no sense. If you are installing Arch Linux, you have all options available? There is no "default" Arch, 😅

Sorry I don't understand your first question.

What I mean is that anyone (in fact there were projects that did this) could make an image with an installer GUI for Arch Linux that installed Arch Linux and some opinionated software like Endeavour does. But at the end you just got an easy Arch installation. What bothers me is that instead of pushing for Arch Linux's brand, Endeavour created their own, virtually wrapping Arch Linux as theirs, and I don't believe it is enough work to consider it a different distro, because it is LITERALLY ARCH with a couple of extra packages (that could be on the main repos or the AUR).

And I am saying all this as an Endeavour user myself!

This is fake. Glass is not the only material that can do wireless charging. There exist plastic phones that can wirelessly charge. In fact. Your wireless charger is very much probably plastic, not glass.

Also, my current phone (Unihertz Jelly Star) is plastic and has NFC... So it's also not related to NFC either.

A glass back is not necessary for wireless charging. There's many materials that can fit there, the glass choice is purely for "premium" feel.

First of all: it's a joke.

Second of all: no, Arch is not as easy to install, specially for someone who is looking at Manjaro as a possibility.

And believe me, I was once a Manjaro user.

And for 99% of Manjaro users, what they really wanted was Arch with an installer. Which is what Endeavour OS is. (Although I'll never understand why Endeavour people didn't just develop the tools FOR Arch instead of wrapping it all up as their own).
