If that really works like it reads, it's what I was looking for, thank you!

Only thing I can remember right now reading about is that is is "not finished" and "not production ready".

I mean there is some truth in that because when I tried switching to it some months ago, it crashed in the first 5 minutes of using it. Haven't triey it since. Others report using it all the time without any issues.

OT but beware that nova launcher was sold to some "ad" company. I switched to neo launcher since.

My problem is that it does not work on multiple devices at the same time, so I have personally given up on it. Maybe it has changed, did not check for a long time.

Not sure if it is equal on all distros but on every one I have used it's a readable string of muliple components. One of them is "usb" for a usb mass storage, so if it is the only one you have connected to your computer it is very obvious. For like sata disks it has the manufacturer and serial on it so you can match what drive it is you want to write to. Also, the name is pretty unique (on your sysytem at least, globally I don't know), so even if you swap hardware around, you cannot write to the wrong storage if you got the right name. Like "sdb" can be reassigned, but the id is an id.

Servers run on linux and also don't have licensing bullshit attached. And when my desktop windows installation shit the bed, linux got installed instead.

Well, thank you! But I have more bad news. The communication with lemmy instances is handled by code from someone else. And development for that stopped months ago. So one would have to patch the other library somehow too. And that only fixes the login (which should be rather simple in essence). The changes to 2FA are a bit more complicated. Though, that should only break the setup process, not the login with it.

Sadly, fixing that would require someone that has at least a fair bit more experience developing with that language and tools, and more dedication.

Welllll shhhht. I don’t want to switch apps :(

I have now wasted a couple of hours on getting the app at least to build before I can even start making changes. But it won't build and I can't figure out why. Additional problem is, that this is not a "old-school" Android project in Java (or Kotlin). It is a Flutter project and it uses Dart as language which I have never used.

Additionally, there is an automatic build server that I maybe could have used to infer what the problem for me is, but even it fails to build the app. I cannot look into the older successful runs since the logs have been deleted since. Clearly something has changed from the build tools used but I cannot guess what (correctly). This is the outcome of the problem when nobody uses fixed versions but rather defined "newest", which now breaks everything and nobody knows with what versions it worked.

So I tried Flutter 3.16.0 and 3.13.9 which are most likely too new since it complains about missing and wrong stuff. With 3.10.6 tries to build but it somehow stops without any reason given and I cannot find out how to get it to tell me what the F the problem is.

Sorry for my rambling but I hate this shit and maybe this helps someone.

Thank you for the heads-up! Welp, I guess I have to get into android development again after all. Not sure where I should pull the time from.

I am weirdly looking forward to the surprised pikachu face when the privkey leaks in the first week and suddenly suspiciously specific info about virtually everything whats going on privately in the EU pops up all over the world, including politicians and their friends.

Not sure what problems you had. I am using a secondary drive for steam for years now on xubuntu. I think they even get re-added automatically now if you started steam before you mount the drive.

I don't get why I would ever have to read announcements. I put the game on the wishlist and got the notification that it is available. I only knew of the post because I watched a streamer play it for a bit and one in chat mentioned the announcement and the streamer read the message out loud. At the very least they should have marked it early access.
