sudoedit is more secure btw. Many editors are not built to be ran as root, and this copies the file to a temo directory, edits it without root, and then overwrites the original file on save with root.

I would post it there, this will likely get removed in a few hours :D

In Flatpak no, just the bundle for whatever reason. Pretty annoying, as I will never, never use Base of Draw.

OpenOffice is not a thing anymore, stop keeping it in your brains XD

Dont agree on looks etc, but yes Onlyoffice feels like that and I would prefer Libreoffice+Web integration too.

I wanted to package an ambisonic VST3 plugin as a Flatpak, really need to learn that as this would make things really easy.

But I have no idea of audio production, find it really cool but its a complex topic.

Have you tried Ardour, Bitwig, Reaper or Zrythm? Studio 1 also has a Wayland-native version now, which is paid.

But I get the tinkering part, poorly.

Proprietary firmware on Google Pixel, blobs in Dasharo Coreboot.

On Android there are tons of video and image editors embedded in Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok etc. but nothing comparable.

I find Desktop video editors confusing but I use Footage (GNOME) and "OpenVideoEdit" on Android.

And a reason for platforms to implement zero trust models. I mean they need to hand out data to 3rd parties, they dont benefit from that?

SimpleX for the Win.

This was always my idea, abuse "free money" apps where you watch ads for money en masse with automated swipes using apps like Smart Autoclicker and tadaaa! Free money.

Would be worse for the environment than mining Bitcoin though.

Librewolf, their devs seem hella inactive but their builds are automated. Tbh I would prefer a working arkenfox more. Made my own softening and install script but its pre-alpha and I will likely rewrite it again in some time.
