Linux@lemmy.ml•Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??
1·17 days agoI’m sure that there are games (either video games or IRL physical games) designed for this. Some simple “here are some possible instructions, use them to achieve some goal” thing.
Something like described here:
https://wiredme.com/blog/active-coding-games-for-kids/
But I am interested in knowing more examples of such games. Is there any Wikipedia article for this category of games? Is there any list with more of them described?

Don’t know, but other three Invidious instances listed on https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=CBCujAQtdfQ seem to work.

but I don’t remember the exact name and can’t find it with a search engine. Maybe someone else knows what I am talking about.

Fairphone@lemmy.ml•I don't understand why I keep seeing complaints about the fairphone cameras.
1·4 months agoI’m not going to replace a whole <insult>ing OS just to get a camera to work. Is deep-level OS tweaking the only way to get the proper image data from the camera sensor?

Fairphone@lemmy.ml•I don't understand why I keep seeing complaints about the fairphone cameras.
5·4 months agoI took this image with FairPhone 4, running LineageOS 22, using the default camera app.
https://obzorje.kompot.si/s/cPaYdRHQf2CG6iL
Tried playing around with some other camera apps from F-Droid, but all of them make pretty much same pixelated mess as the default.
No idea what the reason for this is. Is the camera sensor on phone actually decent, but then some algos in camera app fail to optimise things or something?
No idea, but I am quite often ashamed of sharing pictures with other people.Luckily I am a kind of person who takes more “utility” type of pictures. Markings on devices and other kind of informative stuff.
If taking pictures of beautiful views and social events was important to me, I would probably not be using FairPhone 4. I would want to use it, but with the current state of camera on de-Googled phone, for artistic purposes, I could not.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Should Lemmy hide downvotes on your own posts by default?English
141·7 months agoI was not aware of the issue that downvotes negatively affect mental health.
cool idea
concept somewhat reminds me of OpenDesk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opendesk
Which I know about because it uses the same name as https://opendesk.eu/en/ , which I am actually interested in.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
3·7 months agoIt does work, I have been using it for a long time now in context of my interest of using a phone as a PC.
https://xdaforums.com/t/phone-as-a-pc.4633441/Thing is that with just termux, you get just the android/termux environment.
There is a way to get more familiar Linux environments running on your phone by using proot from within termux.
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot
For example, using that you can install ARM version of Manjaro, which is basically the same thing that you would run on Raspberry Pi.
But everything in there runs a bit slower, because Proot is some layer that takes up a bit of performance.
Benefit of that is that you can run some Linux software that is not found within Termux packages, but is available in the repositories of other distros. Libreoffice is one such example.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
2·7 months agoLineageOS 22.2 (on FP4) does not seem to have that option yet.
At least, it is not listed in the developer options.
You can find it if you tap on the search button within developer options (or just general settings, as that also includes results from developer options) and type “terminal” or “linux”.
The(Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Androidresult shows up.
But after you tap on that, you see that toggle is greyed out. Can’t be enabled.I am interested in getting that to work, so any help is appreciated.
There is hopefully some ADB command or something that forcefully enables Linux environment.
