Thank you!

I should also add that if you don’t want to reconfigure Jambi to use Whisper, you can try WhisperNow, which is built in Python and uses Whisper. I saw similar transcription performance when I used Whisper with Jambi and decided to move forward with Vosk after testing Whisper in both programs.

I use the Futo Keyboard on Android which already has this feature. It’s also opens source, and I’ve had a really good experience with it so far.

I’m not familiar with whisper.c++ but I did try faster-whisper. Unfortunately, the transcriptions took upward of 40sec and it didn’t offer live transcription, which is a nice feature of vosk. There’s a comparison in the readme with other differences. That said, it should be relatively modular. It shouldn’t take much to swap it back to whisper if that’s what you prefer to use. Whisper is in the nix flake as optional, and the program allows you to change models but i haven’t bothered trying to switch back to Whisper since Vosk has been more performant.

That means a lot to me. Thanks so much for your kind words!

Honest quetion, how/where are drivers license photos saved? Is saving photos at the state level more or less secure than saving at the federal level? Also, the TSA supposedly just uses scans to speed up and more accurately verify, and claims not to save the scans (for now). If they wanted a database of everyone’s face scan, couldn’t they just subpoena every state’s DMV/tag-agency for license photos?

Another okay option I just stumbled on is Viewnior. The only thing it lacks is webp file support.

Thanks for confirming that you’re seeing the same thing. Must be a bug.

Ahh that’s good to know. I had no idea about libadwaita. Thank you!

I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r but it wouldn’t let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/* like this thread suggested, but still no luck.

Unfortunately, --all isn’t an option. The following options are available in swayimg:

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -r, --recursive      read directories recursively
  -o, --order=ORDER    set sort order for image list: none/[alpha]/random
  -s, --scale=SCALE    set initial image scale: [optimal]/fit/width/height/fill/real
  -l, --slideshow      activate slideshow mode on startup
  -f, --fullscreen     show image in full screen mode
  -p, --position=POS   set window position [parent]/X,Y
  -g, --size=SIZE      set window size: [parent]/image/W,H
  -a, --class=NAME     set window class/app_id
  -c, --config=S.K=V   set configuration parameter: section.key=value
  -v, --version        print version info and exit
  -h, --help           print this help and exit

If that let’s you flip between images that are in the same folder using arrow keys (or something similar), that would be awesome.

Gwenview looks a little too full featured, but the Gnome Image Viewer (Loupe) works well. No dependencies needed in Nix, and the arrow keys let you flip between different images that are in the same folder. All of the on-screen functionality works (copy, move to trash, zoom in/out, toggle full-screen, etc.), and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work great. The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn’t respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.

Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I’m using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn’t sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn’t look like that’s in the works.

Can you open animated gifs in imv? I just get a black screen, but the home page says animated gifs are supported.

Doesn’t look like Hyperion is open source :(

Until there’s a FOSS version of Nova, I guess I’ll keep using Nova and have my firewall block its outgoing traffic.

Nova launcher - there isn’t a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).

Thanks for the suggestion. After getting some weird behavior with Appimage Launcher and reading this reddit thread, I decided to install pamac-flatpak from the AUR, but plan on leaving AUR dissabled on the app. So far so good. I think it’s a keeper.

I like the integration with Timeshift and the into packed interface with ability to click on details. On the downside, the themes are limited and it’s kind of hard to use for browsing apps that you might want to install.
