Microphone to air compressor adapter

An adapter with a 3-pin XLR microphone connector at one end, converting to a quick-release air hose connector at the other end. This is the opposite angle, showing the quick-release connector.

@wth @Spyros We need one universal graphical tool kit that works everywhere!

Me: NOT YOU

@wth I have worked with GTK3 myself, and once I got used to its quirks, actually found it quite nice to work with. I was writing my code in Python too, which added some extra challenge, but the GObject introspection took a lot of the pain out of interoperating with what's basically a C library.

However, I'm aware that GTK has a bit of a reputation. The look and feel is great on Linux desktops that use it natively, but I do remember it looking pretty ugly cross-platform.

@anthropy just wait until /r/birdsarentreal finds out that birds can receive radio waves

My instance updated to glitch-soc a little while ago and I've heard supports it, but I don't see the option to choose post format (e.g. HTML, markdown). Do I need to log out and log back in for Tusky to realise the instance software has changed? Or am I wrong and Tusky doesn't support making formatted posts? (It can understand formatting though)

Are the characters used in syntax of most programming languages dependent on the keys of the standard keyboard or was the standard keyboard made specifically to allow programming with these keys?

The title would probably be confusing, but I could not make it better than this. I noticed that most programming languages are limited to the alphanumerical set along with the special characters present in a general keyboard. I wondered if this posed a barrier for developers on what characters they were limited to program in, or...

@snowe @themoonisacheese I can type ¹ on a smartphone pretty easily

@snowe Typing the character. With GBoard it's switch to numbers+symbols then press and hold a number (in this case 1) to access fractions and superscripts.

@snowe not sure if this image attachment is going to federate correctly from Mastodon to Lemmy

@snowe if not, I'll try markdown:

@snowe screw it, let's try HTML. [🖼 medias.meow.social/media_attac…]

@snowe a very common reason with Google products, I've found; up to and including not wanting to provide that product anymore.

TerrorBite,
@TerrorBite@meow.social avatar

@snowe It's got its quirks. For example, if I am replying to someone who's not on programming.dev then I have to make sure to tag @programming (or another account on the instance) in order for my post to still federate to your server, otherwise only the person I'm replying to would see my reply and it wouldn't show in comments.

I did discover that adding the tag as a trailing reply to a missing comment thread will cause the entire reply chain to federate, so that's neat.

What's up with telegram becoming more and more bloated, paywalled, and now "stories"? Who the f asked for that

TerrorBite,
@TerrorBite@meow.social avatar

@anthropy This is why open source software is much better

TerrorBite,

@anthropy Also many open source projects are developed by people with a passion for their product and no financial incentive

What would you want to understand better about - about how it works, or why it works the way it does?
