  • That's awesome, thank you so much for trying it :)

  • Thank you so much :) I haven't gotten around to adding the wiki links yet, but it's at the top of the list

  • Thanks for the feedback! I'll change that (makes way more sense to clarify that)

  • Sidekick - A new mastodon web client, in which the user can post through a variety of bots! (still in early alpha-phase ...)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I understand the possible applications and they do sound quite useful. Scheduled posting, for example, is really cool. The word "bot" just doesn't make it sound like client features to me but that's most likely a me issue. It looks very promising, keep up the good work

    Jump

  • So wait, this is basically just a Bluesky client that allows you to alter the text you're about to post in some way or another?

    Then I don't get why you would call that a bot. The way it's phrased I imagined everyone posting from bot accounts

  • Is an upgraded T450, T14, or Framework a better laptop for a clumsy dev?

    Jump

  • When it comes to decisions like this, I usually make a list with my options, create some categories (e.g. durability, longevity, performance, ...), rate each option for each category and then divide each option's points by its price to see its value. If they're fairly similar, I would take the time I'd need to save up for them into account.

    In general, I would always want to go for A) upgrading what I already have or B) getting something used for the sake of sustainability.

    You could look at some more used ThinkPad options like a T470 or a T480. They can often be found for cheap refurbished on eBay. I would also take a look at online benchmarks to see what fits your requirements. In my experience, that works better than looking at spec sheets.

  • Do you do any simple experiments? Or track things and analyse them?

    Jump

  • I've used phyphox for lots of stuff. It's great for looking at raw data from your phone's sensors but there are also a lot of great experiments built in to the app. The university that develops it has a playlist showcasing them all, it's a great way to spend a weekend.

  • I enjoy creating conflict

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. If your requirement is "no corporate", then Pop doesn't fit. However, if you don't want to use Ubuntu because it's a product of Canonical, I would still go ahead and recommend Pop, since it's A) not by Canonical and B) a wholly different kind of corporate backing

  • Gesturefy: Navigate, operate, and browse faster with mouse gestures! A customizable Firefox mouse gesture add-on with a variety of different commands.

    Jump

  • Okay, so you can have intuitive and easy to use mouse gestures to speed up your browsing experience... But why wouldn't you use Vimium and use your keyboard with 32697 unintuitive keybindings instead?

  • I enjoy creating conflict

    Jump

  • Technically, yeah. However, Pop isn't their product, their hardware is.

    They do their absolute best to create great software like coreboot and Pop and keep it all truly open source. They also innovate the space with things like COSMIC DE (which imo is phenomenal already, even in its early alpha state).

    They only offer software support and help for customers of their hardware but that seems reasonable to me. The community is big and helpful so it makes sense for S76 to refer non-customers there.

    I've been using Pop as a daily driver for more than 3 years now and a few months ago, I started to think about switching. Until recently, it was stuck on 22.04 with no clear indicator as to when 24.04 would be released. I decide that I was gonna wait for October and if i still felt that way, I was gonna switch. As of today, I haven't switched and since the first alpha release of COSMIC and the recent alpha release of Pop 24.04, I've never even thought about it.

    24.04 is fast, stable and works incredibly well with COSMIC. COSMIC is insane for productivity and has fixed almost all UX gripes I've ever had with GNOME and KDE. It's truly amazing and a must-try imo.

  • On average? So you just take all bombs dropped by the USA and divide it by the number of days the US has been a thing? Then you compare that to the amount of days China hasn't dropped a bomb?

    This makes no sense...

  • Are there any communities along the topic of practical DIY, 'Today/Recently I learnt to do''?

    Jump

  • There's "today I learned"/"TIL" but that's usually factoids, I think

  • Pavlov

    Jump

  • Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist. During his studies, he observed that dogs would begin to salivate whenever an assistant entered the room, even if no food was present. Pavlov realized that the dogs had learned to associate the presence of the assistant with the arrival of food. He then conducted experiments where he would ring a bell or sound a metronome immediately before presenting the dogs with food. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound with the food, and would begin to salivate in response to the sound alone, even without the presence of food. This research on dogs became an iconic example of classical conditioning and the comic references this.
