Oh wait. @npub12s2…vwz5 tried it again after the cert update and it works!!
So it *was* an incorrect error message after all 😁

Decided to update the wiki as well while I was about it: https://codeberg.org/prav/pravserver/wiki/Cloning-the-Prav-server-for-testing

Is there a #LibreWolf plugin that automatically says "Dislike AI" to #DuckDuckGo #AI suggestions and then turns them off? :duckduckgo:

omg!!
I was excited to hear the features, then disappointed to hear it's backed by proprietary libraries from #Gboard, but then excited again to learn this demonstrates the ability to run stuff from #LineageOS and it's forks/ancestors without having to run a full-blown emulator! And not a normal app but a integrated subsystem no less 😮
If #postmarketOS were human, this would be a true #cyborg (the good kind) :postmarketos:

Okay, putting my hand up to help potential switchers. If you're thinking of switching to #XMPP this #GlobalSwitchDay, drop me a private mention and I can help you figure things out! Offer valid till stocks last :xmpp:
(I've been using XMPP-based federated messaging since forever, and know a bunch of servers including some I can invite you to, as well as a bunch of apps depending on your needs. This is just me though so I'll have to close if I get too flooded!)

I've seen fractional numbers in a few places before, but the other thing I noticed is that for 2G I used to get "E" whereas with 3G I'd sometimes see either "H" and "H+"
If 2.5G is GPRS, I wonder what plain 2G is, as I think GPRS was the first widespread "you can now get Internet on your cellphone!" technology? Maybe it was just plain ol' voice calls without any Internet 🤔️
Weird that I'm only getting 2.5G here and not 2.75G. It's outrageous! 🤪️

it's a 2G mobile connection (yes we still have that here). I think the "point five" indicates the upgraded version or whatever (maybe EDGE vs. GPRS?)

oh oops, I must have missed the "matches with wallpaper" part 😅️
Phosh doesn't really have a wallpaper as such, though, so maybe this still counts? And for people like me who went and set a background anyway, I remember this Python script that picks predominant colours from an image, so it should just be a matter of time...😉️

whoa! Is that there on all #forgejo instances? How do I enable it?
