    If you’d like a GUI, use Trayscale with it.

    The Linux version does not provide a GUI on its own, but still makes it super easy to login and manage

    I dunno what you’re talking about. Stock dialer has it for me.

    Apple iOS Settings app showing “Silence Unknown Callers” toggle

    Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.

    The Mac app? That would be great. Only problem is that the plugin ecosystem is centered around macOS, and they use native UI. However, they do have a waitlist for Windows (and iOS).

    Something like that is gonna be hard to pull off.

    Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.

    However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.

    In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.

    This might be due to how easy Apple makes it to implement this sort of thing. Even if the app isn’t on the App Store.

    On iOS, apps must be on the App Store, which requires being enrolled in the Apple developer program. I imagine developers then make their apps paid to cover this.

    I absolutely agree with you, but look at launchers and such. Steam is very much proprietary and commercial. I find it a little odd that those who might do anything to avoid proprietary software, willingly use it for gaming.

    Those are just my thoughts.

    Is it just me or has using a brand name as a regular noun become really common? For example, Android-based devices are just referred to as “an Android”.

    Funnily enough, I’ve got a pretty well-loved ThinkPad T480 16 GB 8350U sitting right here. Used to be my main development laptop. Now it’s just an agent for Portainer.

  • Most settings applications (GNOME Settings, KDE Control Center) give very limited access to managing lower level components in the system. For example, kernel management, managing groups, etc. If they *did* though, in your opinion, what would be the most effective way to offer a simple experience for some users, and more control for those who need it? How would most desktops implement this "hybrid" approach? Or should users not be able to control those things graphically at all?
