Right now, the European webshop of Pine64 says the PPP is out of stock along with the PinePhone Keyboard. If it won't come back in stock in a few weeks, I might order it from the US-based webshop.

Does anyone have experience on ordering the PPP from the US to an EU country? Roughly how much extra would I need to pay thanks to customs/delivery?

Let's say, I create a bank with the caveat that all of my banking phone apps and webapps are FOSS (or if they depend on non-free components — banks probably do to communicate with each other —, then just OSS). Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this?

If the most secure crypto algorithms are the ones that are public, can we ensure the security of a bank's apps by publicizing it?

Are they not doing this because they secretly collect a lot of data (on top of your payment history because of the centralized nature of card payments) through these apps?

EDIT: Clarifying question: Is there a technical reason they don't publicize their code or is it just purely corporate greed and nothing else?

Check out Armcord. It's a 3rd party client with many customization choices (mainly due to the fact that it bundles Vencord and Shelter client mods).

Hi all!

I recently installed firefox-gnome-theme to Librewolf, but it doesn't respect my GTK theme's colors, which is Dracula.

All I need to edit is the color palette. Which file should I need to edit for the hex values?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Your comment made me crave for a cuppa. I'll make something green.

Oops, sorry. Did the Middle-European way of doing quotes with „”. They are special characters not in the English layout AFAIK. Fixing it.

I use mLauncher, a fork of OLauncher. I like how simple and clean my screen is.

Renoise is an excellent tracker-based DAW with Linux support (you still have to find Linux-compatible VSTs though). It changed the way I write music.

EDIT: I know there are FOSS trackers like MilkyTracker. If you want an alternative, I can recommend it, even though it doesn't offer the same amount of features as Renoise (e.g. VST or effect support).
