How good would the experience be with a linux phone and an external camera?

I've got a pixel 6 and although camera's are getting better each year, it's not even close to a dslm. And video qualit is probably better with a proper action camera.

I mean, directly "mounting" the camera to the phone and shooting with the phone.

I'm trying to figure out how to host one myself. I'm trying to use barvarder and localai. But I am failing due to not enough knowledge and missing instructions. Any advice? did someone succeed with anything? I'd be happy to make other smaller steps at first as well. As long as I get somewhere.

I just found the gnome-translate-indicator which is great! I click on the button in the top panel and then I can lookup any word. It's only one way but that's not a big problem for me as I rarely translate to English, mostly from.

edit: the extension uses translate-shell which uses google, bing, but also apertium. So far I have not found a way to switch settings. I guess you have to point to a translate-shell instance which has to be configured.

I was wondering if there is an improved workflow for this. We've got bangs in the browser and is there a way to include this into the general GNOME search? maybe with a bang?

Additionaly, there is Light Dict which looks like a great app but doesn't work on my machine out of the box (it fails to execute a trans process). Before trying to find the problem, I'd like to know if someone is using it.

edit2: I can't find any attribution to any external dictionary. Use it at your own risk.

edit3: There is also Dialect with which you can translate via lingva or libretranslate. It looks like a nice gui app.

So, is there a perfect workflow for this? I'd lvoe to hear your experience with translation and dictionary lookups on GNOME / linux

From a privacy standpoint, i guess. I want to support open scrobbling with listenbrainz and the account isn't directly linked to a real acc. Why shouldn't I/ why don't you?

There are a lot of online maps. What do you use? What's your favorite? Is one funny/ strange?

GNOME search can't calculate stuff. krunner on KDE is increadibly powerful. Is there anything I can do to make GNOME's search a bit more like krunner? at least do basic math ...

This is gold. A script that automatically downloads music

My biggest wish is that there's an easy way to contribute images to wikimedia and to link them easily with osm. As soon as that's possible, we'll map the world much quicker and more reliable. Someone might take pictures of benches and another one will add the info if there's a backrest from home.

I don't need a world clock, yet it's always there in the drop down notification area
