@#8046 I think somebody familiar with Linux Systems should do that, but I think doing both in parallel is fine. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: How would you feel about a merger with Linux Systems? Personally I think this would be an excellent idea and we would benefit in many ways. - as the post on main meta already mentions, both communities would benefit from more activity - looking through the posts on linux system, I think they would be a good addition to the posts we would bring in...

| Question | — |
How would you feel about a merger with Linux Systems? On main meta, someone suggested to look into the possibility to merge our Power Users community with the community for Linux Systems to increase activity. (see https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285122) Just to test the waters: How would you all feel about this? (more) |

That sounds much more prone for breakage in the time frame of a decade than an emulator for an app, as it will rely on some external service. (more) |

As far as I know, whatsapp does not only need an android (or ios) device, but also requires a phone number. This sounds like the more complicate hurdle. If you can't solve this, it does not seem worth the effort to worry about emulators. That's why I am asking if you already solved it. (more) |

Did you already solve the "whatsapp requires a phone number"-problem before worrying about availability of emulators? (more) |

A: Who should the temporary moderators be? I would like to suggest Canina. Although there aren't yet so many posts in which we could get to know how others handle things, I think they could be a good moderator for these reasons: - based on their activity they seem to have a wide area of interests, which should be helpful in a phase i...

Have a look if your viewer has some function to adjust the saturation, e.g. with preview.app: https://s3.amazonaws.com/storage.qpixel.artofcode.co.uk/4dT2j6Y75xVdmmNybQAsjMx1

That's definitely not the source of our problem. Voting on other posts works fine, it is just the one linked in the question which does not accept votes. If we weren't logged in, voting on other posts would hardly be possible. (more) |

@#53919 Could you write a self-answer? I currently don't have it installed, so can't show any screenshots or anything. I just remember it because it was included in some of my previous linux distributions. (more) |
