I need a better alternative for audio playback on android than VLC, it's not that I dislike it, it's that it's geared more towards playlists than for audio editing and sorting. Am I asking for the impossible though?

I use MediaMonkey, I know on desktop it has all the sort features, but all I use it for on android is "Shuffle All"

Thanks that works for me.
Wish VLC's widgets didn't suck ass so hard.

Gramophone on fdroid is a good music player that actually shows the correct song art in an album if it's a VA album and each song has a unique cover image.

Also on fdroid, you can set up android2linux to send your notifications to a linux desktop so you don't miss texts, etc

With many cows fleeing to Bluesky, is there a nitter-style frontend for it yet? Search doesn't bring up anything but that could just be current year searching.

KDE Connect can do this as well and it supports Windows too. Has a bunch of other nifty features like auto pausing music if a call comes in, sending/receiving SMSes on your PC, clipboard sharing, etc.

KDE Connect is ok. If you do use it Windows the mouse feature will be incredibly choppy.

Barrier is what you want for a software kvm. It's not very developed right now, but I've been using an older version with 0 issues really. Only thing I dislike is that you can't disable clipboard sharing per client, but you can disable it entirely and use kde connect for that.

Two different software for kvm purposes? I guess it's not the nicest, but it works flawlessly and they each have different features that complement each other

I did find alternative clients for BlueSky but I didn't test them.

Input Leap is the new maintained open source Synergy fork.

Anyway, I came across a nifty AutoHotkey script, Explorer Dialog Path Selector

In Open and Save As dialog boxes it adds a popup menu to navigate to directories open in Explorer. This is so much nicer than having to copy and paste the path from Explorer, or navigating there manually.

So what is the official VPN of the Kiwi Farms these days?

Mullvad is pretty widely used/recommended. Good price/performance balance and accepts cash payments through the mail. There's also a VPN thread.

Thank you and I did miss that we had a VPN thread

Great service with a nice UI, but they stopped offering port forwarding a while ago sadly.

I've been trying AirVPN + Wireguard for a while now and it's been pretty reliable so far.

anyone got any good recs for software like audacity but not cucked to shit with its removal of FOSS?

There's a fork of Audacity called Tenacity.

I do very little with sound so I don't know if it's a very limited program compared to audacity but Ocenaudio is my go-to.

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but are there any decent text editors for windows, without tabs?
