I use a keychron Q3 and Q0. They can be remapped / programmed through a web (chrome derivs as it requires WebHID) or desktop electron app called VIA, which at the time of writing is proprietary. I believe Vial (written in Qt) is being brought up, so that may be an option in the future.

In terms of managing the firmware, the vendor offers a first party web interface (also leveraging WebHID). The QMK Toolbox GUI is only available on Mac and Windows but you can use the CLI on Linux to get into DFU mode and flash your firmware.

Not really keen on Logitech as a company but I use Piper to program several of their G series mice on Linux. You can check the libratbag support list to see which hardware can work with it.

I suppose some instances cut others off as well (I see only 6 total) so you have a fair point

And despite that, if was still newsworthy enough to be posted like 6 times in total 😅

I see. You can temporarily edit your grub before the OS loads. This should afford you the opportunity to boot into the system without EDID modifications, though im not sure if your modified EDID will still load under this scenario. If so, you may need to switch into a CLI session to undo your changes.

I’m sorry to hear that. Does this system only have access to this single display? Did you use a kernel command to modify your EDID? If so, are you able to temporarily modify your grub before booting into the OS?

Archwiki references a [@<refresh>] (presumably denoted as [@144] for something like 144Hz) property, hopefully that’s all you should need to define, though I’m not sure if you’ll need to manually recalculate vertical and horz timings or something.

Maybe this can help fill in any gaps

You want to look into modifying your display EDID.

I don’t believe there’s a GUI for this on Linux but this post referencing the Archwiki might come in handy

I’m aware, I used to use adaway several years ago.

I had the same feelings as you, in that I needed to have system-wide ad blocking, but I revaluated that requirement a couple years ago and realised that I don’t use any apps featuring banner ads and such.

Several of my apps will just fall back to system webview and Firefox (+uBo) will power that too.

payday 2 was kind of a cosy game where me and my friend would do heists whilst making tea and fetching snacks.

shadow raid? More like food raid 😊

I see. I admit I sorely missed the app startup at boot control permission (app ops) toggle when it was removed from the Android permissions framework, but the new power and background software management framework eliminates the need for it.

Also damn, you have a modern xperia? Hardware wise they are massively appealing to me. They have nearly all of the HW amenities I can think of (SD card slot, headphone jack, dedicated FP reader / button, notification LED, no camera cutout).

If they supported bootloader relocking with sself signed keys, they’d be the perfect phone for me.

I made the admittedly difficult discussion to move to a Pixel so I could use some of the most private and secure software possible on android with little effort or thought behind it.

I sorely miss my headphone jack but at least I feel like I can depend on this tiny computer to not fuck me over with unfettered personal data collection (and save a lot of power in doing so, I suppose).

I feel like I’m being needlessly nitpicky but the animation of chief brandishing the energy sword at the end looks so clunky and awkward.

though generally speaking, the visuals are tight.

Sounds about right. I suppose they also want to distance themselves as much as possible from the antics of frank o’connor’s 343i with a brand move like this.

I wonder which retcons they’ll retcon. Will the foreunners be human again? Will the events of 4, 5 and infinite just be one big fever dream?

Adaway was what I used prior to ublock origin on Firefox. The network access toggles can be found directly in ROMs like Calyx Grapene, Lineage, Divest, though I’m not sure if they’re widely seen elsewhere.

I know the process you’re referring you WRT gadgetbridge. I used to do the same thing until I switched to a pinetime.

I’m not familiar with permission manager X. Does that deviate from the android permissions framework in some way?

Can you tell me more about the hardware tweaks?

they’re trying to ensure an acceptable UX with their browser.

I suppose the root of the issue is developers specifically targeting and testing on chrome.

I don’t understand how this would make Firefox look bad unless you’re pointing at the dire browser share situation.

it do be that way :(

okay cool but what are you specifically using system or systemless root for now?

out of interest, what use cases do you have in mind that require root access?

I used to use a root based solution to block ads system wide via hosts but now I just use ublock origin in Firefox.

Their latest microcode update from 7 days ago was declared as final. Time will tell about the efficacy of the most recent fixes.

Unfortunately it may only be available via board partners as beta BIOS updates at present.

Isn’t this the kernel driver included by default?
