Cool, thanks!

Hey I have one!

It happens to already have Brazilian Portuguese, but the translation is way out of date and is missing a lot I’ve added in the past couple months.

OpenSCAD is like programming a model. You can do pretty cool things with it, but it’s not necessarily intuitive to most. See also: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/editable-bike-pump-mount

I’ve been keeping an eye on the multicommunity issue and that getting merged was a nice notification.

Thinking of further use cases, maybe a multicommunity could be used as an “Instance curated” option in addition to All/Local/etc. Because frontpages of topic-specific and regional instances seem to all be dominated by us politics.

Like traditional forums, lemmy isn’t a very real-time platform. That means it wouldn’t be very useful.

People who make foss apps generally know and care more about programming than secondary things, such as design.

I’ve seen people with weird personal preferences, and some who seemingly perceived design as unnecessary, just getting in the way of “real” work. I think it’s mostly just lack of time and knowledge than an active decision though.

If you have thoughts about my app, I welcome them.

While I also disagree with the claim that technology is “fundamentally” insecure, it’s unfortunately not that often made by smart and caring people.

Looks yours is a 6 years older version of the same thing, so I think there’s a decent chance the same thing will work. The tools are on the author’s github: https://github.com/portasynthinca3/swl01u/blob/bf50f89b1d28701791a4866ef97944513e8c6a1c/shell.py

Well since one can pack anything in custom sysex messages, might as well try posting to lemmy through midi.

Nice. I wonder how many synths out there have a shell accessible through MIDI, I should get one.

?

I censored the url.

Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys as instructed.

It’s a fake website

Figured as much. So it’s ad spamming that they’re going for.

I’ve been using mega synced folders for most stuff. Works fine.

I tried to do this before, but it did not work out.

I couldn’t make the meta key alone open overview. I also tried to add a dock there, but I can only have a panel when not in overview, which is the opposite of that I wanted. I also liked the notification menu and the quick toggles menu in top right corner.

I have been planning to get into plasma extension development to fix some of these issues.

It would help if you got the model right, and an exact one at that. As the others said, “iMac” isn’t a mac laptop, but an AIO desktop.

I run linux on one of these. Everything worked out of the box, except for wireless. See my 2-part adventure for how I solved it.

Mac “bios” isn’t exactly how you’d expect from PCs. Hold down alt key during startup to enter boot menu, and you’re good to go.

If your family member was a mac user before, they might be most comfortable on Gnome, as it has aped many ui features from mac os. It has a similar dock, fluid trackpad-friendly navigation that works the same way, and more.
