Ah, OK. I wasn't aware of those APIs, only things like OpenGL and Vulkan, but those are perhaps specific to 3D graphics rendering?
And windows managers in the context of Wayland are the same as Wayland compositors? Which compositor would I be using through KDE Plasma 6?
Brilliant list! Starred this to go through it in detail later.
EDIT: A good deal of overlap with me on the type of applications I already use, so looking forward to discovering other hidden gems I haven't yet found.
I love this for redirecting YouTube-links to FreeTube.
How does this deal with any flags passed?
I have been using this combined with Fluent Reader Lite for Android and a self-hosted FreshRSS-server to sync my feeds. Just recently found a workflow that works well for me: I will browse my feeds on my phone once in a while (very productive bathroom breaks....), showing only unread stories. I star any story I want to read later, mark the rest as read. With Fluent Reader on Linux set to only show starred, and I can then pick and choose whatever story I want to read from there on a bigger screen. Whenever I go some days without checking, I will just mark all spammy news outlets as read without checking the 400 unread stories.
I am not sure what you intention was with your reply, so maybe I am misreading it.
"... that respects your privacy" is most of the post title. I was simply asking whether a keyboard application could be privacy disrespecting, if it doesn't have network access. It was genuine question that I want to learn the answer to, and I was hoping that somebody might be able to provide a sensible answer.
Genuine question: is there any way for any keyboard application to be privacy disrespecting if their internet access is blocked off by a firewall?
Yeah, I already have KDE Connect already setup, and it is quite nice. However, since this is for navigating a media station I would prefer to avoid having my smartphone nearby, as I will end up scrolling mindlessly like the drone I am. Getting the Wiimote working is also not entirely a project of utility, but something I consider to be an interesting and fun project, so while having options are good, I still want to accomplish this.
Yes, proper regulation is difficult. My (limited) impression of EU regulation is that they often do have enough technology know-how to make regulations that to a large degree make sense, but not enough for them to be fool-proof. This is at least the case in the industry that I work in, which is also heavily regulated by EU. I don't know anything about the processes of making these regulations, and whether those shortcomings generally are the result of sneaky lobbying (most certainly this must be the case at least sometimes) or lack of know-how.
That's my setup (Mi Band 7). It works better than I anticipated. I want it to be as little in the way as possible (no notifications and vibrations), which this allows me to do. Can export database for processing elaewhere.
I'm on Fairphone 4 with CalyxOS, and I am happy with that. I would not expect them to release a Fairphone 6 anytime soon, so unless OP has all the time in the world, the Fairphone 5 should be good if they want to go this route.
