They want the security for me but not for thee. It’s not that they hate GrapheneOS per say, it’s that they hate that GrapheneOS is open source.

Unlike Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, etc., which have alternative frontends, LinkedIn doesn’t have such an alternative frontend. Sorry OP.

Yeah, it’s just that the output is anywhere you can type, not just the terminal or a clipboard.

Others point to paying for text expanders, but a simple free one is Espanso.

I use it in combination with nvim and bash scripts to set up large HTML templates and latex math formulas as well as much else to save on repetitive typing.

Getting creative with espanso and nvim can be quite satisfying, especially if you code.

Vimium, Neovim, Tiling Window Manager, Ortholinear Keyboard, Text Expander. Just do these.

Even on GrapheneOS, sure it uses a sandboxed Google Play Store, which is obviously great for users, but the developers of Android apps still have to hand over their personal data to Google specifically as this new decree from the Lords of the Google fiefdom entails.

Because FOSS developers rightly value their personal privacy, this decree effectively kills incentive for FOSS developers to continue making and maintaining apps for Android. Running GrapheneOS doesn’t circumvent this.

It’s like I’m saying “I’m hungry” and you say “Go for a run, it’s healthy for you.” I mean… it’s true that running is healthy… but the act of running doesn’t solve the problem of me being hungry…

You can also self host your own redlib instance, tunnel it through wireguard if you don’t want to share your instance publicly, etc.

Yeah, Gates never was a good guy, not then and not now. Evil is a spectrum and all that, but Bill Gates’s philanthropy is a scam, and Bill Gates fucked over the US Education system.

So yeah, nah, fuck Bill Gates.

I’ve used espanso for about 4, maybe 5 years and haven’t encountered this issue. I even have to compile it myself because it’s daemon mode uses systemd on Linux and I dont run a distro that uses systemd and had to modify the source code slightly. I do run it in managed mode, essentially invoking it from a startup script when my window manager starts up.

Long story short, what you encountered might have been related to how it integrates with the init system and you might try and run it directly from a startup script. Simple test is to just try and install the latest version and see if you have the same issue.

Espanso Text Expander. Its not Linux specific but its got so many uses. You can even use it with bash scripts to have essentially alises/text shortcuts for short or massive amounts of text. I use it for so many code snippets and template texts in Neovim and other applications that involve typing.

I use SherpaTTS my GrapheneOS phone. It’s quite good imho. Glad to hear you’re all considering adding this!

I use zsh, but my old Bash prompt looks almost the same as my Zsh prompt. Sorry, no screenshot, but here’s the code:

export PS1='\[\033[01;34m\][\[\033[01;37m\] \W\[\033[01;34m\]]\$\033[01;34m\] $(git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '^*' | colrm 1 2)\n\033[01;34m└─>\033[37m '

Searxng uses bangs but you have to double them up (i.e. !!aur btop or !!ddg search).

Kobo is the answer. It used to require some finicking to get it so you didn’t have to sign up with Walmart, but now that’s supposedly no longer an issue (I’ve had my Kobo for a long time). Install Calibre and the Kobo extension for Calibre. You now can borrow epubs from your local library, purchase them from your favorite online ebook store, or sail the high seas if you don’t give a fuck.
