Lunar5227··on Two year old Android Bluetooth bug fixed, no more root required for librepods
From Librepods github:

> You must have a rooted device with Xposed to use LibrePods on Android. This is due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack.

https://github.com/kavishdevar/librepods#root-requirement

This bug is referenced here https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238 and a comment from a Google employee on 23/6 says the following:

> Thanks for reporting this issue. The change is available as part of Android open source Bluetooth stack starting March 2026. Mobile phone manufacturers will determine when this will be updated on their respective devices.

This means then that Android devices that receives this update to the Bluetooth stack no longer need to root their Android devices for Librepods!

Lunar5227··on Path Cleared for Nix Package Manager on Fedora
Pretty much every distribution plays well with the nix package manager. This change is more targeted towards the Fedora atomic desktops like Silverblue, Kinoite etc.

A stable atomic distribution, with nix as the package manager for "user" packages seems like the perfect combination in my opinion.

Lunar5227··on Introducing Kagi Search's New Design
I am a huge fan of Kagi, been using it for 6+ months now as my “main” search engine. However, I find that queries in my native language (Swedish) results in way less accurate results than if the query was in English.

I would still recommend it to anyone, it’s heaps better than anything else.
