When I come home and my phone connects to the wifi that my Linux (Gnome) PC is also connected to, I would like all my new photos to be automatically sent from my phone to my PC.

I would like this to happen without:
- sending the photos via any third party on the internet
- using any proprietary apps
- having to set up Syncthing or anything similarly difficult

Is this even possible? If not, what's the second best alternative?

Thank you!

I think we need a way to tag apps on Flathub as sending your input to an online LLM. If you do too, maybe give this issue a thumbs up? https://github.com/ximion/appstream/issues/652#issue-2471052438

I just recently learned about two "new"(?) e-mail clients for Linux:

Aerion, which says it's inspired by Geary. https://aerion.3df.io

And Betterbird, which is Thunderbird with quite a few extra bug fixes and small features, like support for systray icon in Linux. https://www.betterbird.eu/

Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Pues he instalado Vocalinux para dictar cosas (speech to text) y ni tan mal. Eso sí me he echado unas risas con las pruebas, en automático me ha detectado que hablo chino, será por el hola y me ha transliterado un maullido del gato. Pero el resto bien, incluso me pone los puntos y las comas en su sitio.

Está basado en Whisper.cpp y en mi ordenador va suavito, incluso cuando lo uso en Libre Office.

Lo podéis encontrar aquí Vocalinux.com.

Digital Sovereignty was the hot new topic at #FOSDEM. What does digital sovereignty mean to you and how do you see Linux applications support digital sovereignty?

This is such an interesting thread as it exposes the friction between ATProtocol/ActivityPub. Clearly, there are some cultural issues.

It's important to understand and I say this often to our own desktop projects - we are always stronger together than apart.

We are not competitors. We are allies.

Understandably we might compete on investment and volunteers but those sort themselves.

Snapd notifications really need to be better handled. If I update the snap then why keep the notification about it on my screen?
