Bro, the internet doesn't forget.

Why even bother? It seems wasteful, to say the least.

Real subtle on the sexual undertones there. Lol

What a greedy and corporatist thing to say.

Fuck walmart.

Stop shopping there if you can, people.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 32 points 11 months ago

Damn, that last one got me.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 27 points 1 year ago

🤣

Much better, thanks

This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies' bullshit practices like that. I don't really care if there's some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I've seen from him is still good in my opinion.

Fuck Adobe.

Yeah, we're trying to get the fuck away from algorithms. That's what makes the fediverse such a big draw currently, for me.

scrcpy (slrpnk.net)

Is there a way to use scrcpy without requiring my phone screen to actually be on?

It's been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I'm just curious to hear people's success stories, if you have any.

Organic maps looks beautiful, osmand is kinda bland

Avenza seems to be the go-to app. It works pretty well and all, but I'm wanting to know if there's any software available that can allow a team of people to simultaneously access and make edits/notes to a geo-referenced map. It also need to have kind of the same base functionality of being able to show your current location and all that. Ideally it should be designed for mobile first, but being able to access it from desktop too would be a plus.

So, just for one example, I could add a placemarker on the map, and any of my team members who are also accessing that map will be able to see (in real time) the placemarker that I just made. Does this type of feature exist?

-Linux compatible

-roller encoder, or vertical knob

-low profile keycaps

-wireless (preferred)

-function key row (preferred)

-dedicated navigation keys (preferred)

Would this be an ok option for use on linux? Any thoughts on the brand, etc.?

So, I've been considering micromobility options recently to help me get out a little bit more and range better. My dog told me he'd appreciate it if I got out a little more on my off-days. I don't know why he's gotta be so judgy like that...

Anyways,

-Bike formats are out, it needs to be easier to transport and not take up that much space.

-Balance boards are cool, but I'm not sure that's quite what I'm looking for either...

Electric skateboards, scooters, mountainboards, etc., what's good? I'm drawn to the idea of electric boards with (potentially?) off-road capabilities. I'm a mountainbiker and often have access to excellent trails, so I like the thought of being able to ride on those too sometimes but my main uses would probably just be getting around town or going out on paved greenways.

Entry level would be good, I'm hoping for somewhere in the 500-1000 dollar range if it exists but if I have to pay more for something better then so be it.

Also, DIY solutions aren't completely out of the question for me. I could see myself messing around with a build project if it strikes my fancy.

Thanks for any help, I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

I'm currently on an MSI GF65 Thin 9SEXR. It has a 9th gen core i5, 8GB RAM, and a geforce rtx2060 graphics card. While it's been a great daily driver for several years now, it's definitely starting to show it's age with newer games and such.

I've currently got my eyes on the ASUS TUF series of laptops, because they seem like pretty decent quality. The chassis design seems more intuitive with where the ports are located, and other small details that make ease of use a priority. I like that it has a numberpad as well, and I'd consider this one of my necessities going forward.

My main uses will be moderate gaming, 3D design, and general browsing/productivity. I'd also like to dump windows for Linux as well, but I'm not entirely sure that I'm ready to make that jump yet. I've got very minimal experience with alternative operating systems to windows.

I don't know much about AMD's hardware, so I'm not sure how the designations compare to what I currently have. If anyone could give me an easy rundown to get me up to date I'd appreciate it too.

What's a good way to respond to sms messages on my phone, through my desktop pc? I do not have wifi, just my phone's usb/tethering connection.

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 28 points 1 year ago

I finally deleted mine the other day. No goodbyes, no fanfare, just dumped it like the garbage it is. No regrets.

~~It looks like they've got a ton of cool projects on the website, but whenever I try to go to any of them it just gives a 404 error.

Just wondering if anyone's run into to this or knows what's going on with it.~~

This was just an error on my part. I forgot that I'd installed libredirect, and the 'destructables' website is just a frontend for instructables.com

Hi, I get this message every time I tap on a pop-up notification from eternity on my phone. Does anyone else get this error or know what could be the cause?

I've recently built a fold out shelf, to dual purpose as a headboard, and I'd like to be able to secure it in the upright position (I think. I'd also consider the down position if it's better somehow) for stability when moving. It's in a camper trailer, so there doesn't need to be any room for movement when it is secured.

Here are some pictures so that you can see better what I'm working with:

vertical position

horizontal position

It is brought out from the wall, so that the window blinds and the top piece on the window blinds are accounted for. It sits against the top piece nicely, but I just wanted to mention this detail because any wall-mounted solution would also likely need to be spaced out from the wall.

I was thinking some type of latch system would probably be the best. Alternatively, I also kind of like the idea of an arm or kickstand type piece that could be mounted to the base piece on the counter and the underside of the shelf, possibly with dowels or something?

Let me know what you guys think.
