charutoapologies for insisting, but are there any plans to eventually sell MNT products locally instead of exclusively online?01:12

minutecharuto: how would that work?01:28
charutoi'm not into it, but perhaps try to contact some resellers?01:29
minuteor, rephrased: i have no experience with retail01:29
charutosomething like https://www.caseking.de/ (?)01:29
minuteis that a brick and mortar store?01:29
charutoone of the largest computer stores in europe afaik01:29
charutoi don't have any experience with retail either so take what i'm saying with a grain of salt01:30
charutoi believe it is, yes01:30
minutecharuto: do you usually buy electronics at retail stores? which ones for example?01:31
minuteah, i've never seen a caseking store01:31
minutein berlin i only know of saturn and mediamarkt... conrad has closed its physical stores01:31
charutohttps://www.caseking.de/en/sell-to-caseking01:32
charutoseems like they have a page for that01:32
charutoi mainly buy to physical stores yes, i dont feel comfortable giving my personal info when doing online shopping01:33
charutoand as a consumer, RMA is much more problematic for me if i bought online.01:33
minutecharuto: it doesn't read very offline to me01:33
minutecharuto: i see...01:34
minuteour stuff is very low volume, so only maybe boutiques would be interested in that i think01:35
charutoi'm not sure how it is in DE, here in PT, caseking owns one of the largest brands of computer stores: https://www.globaldata.pt/01:35
charutomaybe they're fully online in DE, i assumed not since they have a decent offline presence in PT.01:35

minutejosch: note for later, i have replaced our patched xwayland with xwayland from debian experimental (unpatched) on a311d, and things are even smoother now (because of the removed glfinish()) and also rendering bugs in kicad are now gone13:19
BoostisbetterI think you all will be proud of me. I threw out Windows 11 again on my Framework laptop and am back on Linux. The control freak in me just needs Linux. 13:22
BoostisbetterSway is awesome. I really love it, but getting it working on Ubuntu is such a pain in the butt. So I just modify Gnome to work how Sway does. Beautiful success. 13:40

BoostisbetterEverytime I have tried to add Sway to Ubuntu escalation dialogs are lost and I can't use anything that require root, without envoking it from the CLI. 14:07
minuteBoostisbetter: sounds like you're missing a polkit daemon14:10
minuteor rather, a polkit agent14:12
sknebelminute: tiny website bug I just noticed: https://mntre.com/docs-reform.html links the trackball sources in the keyboard section14:31
minuteoh14:32
minutesknebel: thanks, will be fixed soon14:34
minutedo you use spotify? and if yes, what's a good client for arm64 linux?16:06
vkoskivI use spotifyd and control it from my phone16:08
vkoskivI think there might be cli utilities for controlling it, haven't looked into.16:08
vkoskivspotifyd barely uses any resources, it just works in the background and appears on your local network as a device you can control16:09
+ mtm (~mtm@c-71-228-84-213.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)16:09
minutevkoskiv: does it have a gui as well?16:19
vkoskivIt does not. It assumes you use a spotify remote to control it.16:24
vkoskivHaven't tried this, but I'd imagine this would be faily lightweight: https://github.com/ledesmablt/spotify-cli16:25
vkoskivWould be fun to try building a spotify controller for waybar16:26
minuteargh, spotify uses drm in the browser16:26
vkoskivNasty!16:28
vkoskivOoh!16:29
vkoskivhttps://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/up6hk9/spotify_cli_for_terminal_written_in_rust/16:29
vkoskiv(Sorry for the Reddit link, but it has a nice demo GIF)16:29
vkoskivYeah, spotify-tui should work with spotifyd according to the README. I'm actually gonna give this a go right now.16:31
vkoskivRust programs tend to work perfectly snappy on the Reform 8)16:31
vkoskivNeed to debug spotifyd. I had it running on the Reform before, but now it has some issue with dbus.16:35

vkoskivYeah, taking ownership of music is something I'd like to do too.16:46
vkoskivSpotify for discovery, my own library for normal listening.16:46
vkoskivI started to buy vinyl records. Can't DRM that stuff!16:46
vkoskivI can even - shock horror - LOAN my records to friends :O :O :O16:47
BoostisbetterRecords are great, BUT it is the lack of convenience with them that is off putting. 16:49
vkoskivYeah, good for listening to at home, but super awkward to play on the go, like on the metro.16:50
vkoskiv95% of my listening still happens on spotify, of course.16:51
vkoskivIf I find an artist I really like, I seek out a record.16:51
vkoskivTook 20min to compile spotify-tui with `cargo install spotify-tui`16:54

vkoskivI got spotifyd to work. Just passed `--use-mpris false` and it works with spotify-tui now17:19
vkoskivPlaying music now. Spotifyd shows 0.3% MEM in htop, and <5% CPU17:26
vkoskivspotify-tui similar, 0.4% MEM and single-digit CPU17:27

sevanyou might still be able to get them if you look around but mid-2000s these toy cars out, a little large than matchbox cars, with a spring mechanism inside for winding. Underneath the car as a needle, and its roof was a speaker. You'd put the car down on a record, pull it back & let go. It would go around the record and play it. perfect for record shopping :)20:51
sevanThere's also the Vestax portable record player but that's like the size of a Reform20:52
sevanthat reminds me. Perhaps we need some u-boot dub plates https://hackaday.com/2020/11/23/booting-a-pc-from-vinyl-for-a-warmer-richer-os/20:53
