@phenomlab said in Text Messaging App:

I think it’s mostly the protocol and infrastructure not supporting those functions to be honest. As a developer myself, I too would not be interested in writing code or improving functions for code that was developed in the 80’s.

This makes sense. I also tried out the two messaging apps from above, and with both of them the text messages were delayed severely. I didn’t get a text message for two hours after it was sent. So for now I went back to google messages. I just may switch to a messaging app and invite people and tell them they can get a hold of me on there. See what happens I guess. I am thinking Signal. That way I am not being mines by Meta (Facebook) or google. Then use google messages as backup texting.

@phenomlab I will do that. I am hoping to buy it within the next week or two.

@DownPW here’s v3 of the theme switcher code. Note the category badge changes… This specific version has been codenamed “pepperami” - because it is a bit of an animal in terms of structure, and needs simplifying and cleanup.

But, it’s working…

@cagatay Not to my knowledge.

Thanks very much for all the guidance, I’m currently away and don’t have the laptop on me so I’ll get to these changes next week.

@Madchatthew I use it here. It is faster, but not sure if that extends to build times.

@phenomlab said in Netflix hints at password sharing crackdown:

Any website that is full of ads these days will simply be skipped by me.

Yeah I skip them as well. And as far as generating revenue, like you said, you can have paid content and even sell merchandise on your site related to your site. Even if it is t-shirts or hoodies with your logo on it or something.

I may have had to pay that late processing fee a time or two haha

@Madchatthew Agreed. Will seriously consider this option at the next “upgrade” interval.

@phenomlab I found it. This blew my mind and still does. It is crazy!

@DownPW Very tiring. Seems to happen more often than not.

@phenomlab Perfect!!! Many thanks.

💥🔥 that’s not bad at all!

TopCashBack still doing 97% cashback on that too, win win!

@phenomlab thanks Mark, very valuable information as always.

@Madchatthew Feel free to post the issues here 🙂

I remember one time, one of the guys I was working with was working on a PC. He has done some things with it and when he plugged it in and turned it on, there was an actual flame jet shooting out of one of the chips. I never saw anyone unplug a PC faster than that LOL. Of course the customer ended up just buying a new PC at that point. They had the option of getting a new motherboard but chose not to.

@Madchatthew I’m in the same boat. We live in a mobile-first world these days, and any software vendor not rapidly adopting that mantra is going to find themselves out of business.

Does it work properly now?

Yes, it does 🙂

Something of an update here. Good news that some people will get their hard earned investment back, but certainly not everyone

Not that it matters to me - my laptop runs KDE Neon

That is a really nice distro.
