Maybe not as much, it would seem that way, but the same thing happened with Sync last month and people were defending the app, ads & google because the app is prettier, more convenient or familiar.
My main problem with vim is that they use hjkl instead of jkl; , it doesn’t make sense to me why they’d do that.
And my second problem is that I use my own custom keyboard layout instead of qwerty, so I’d have to remap all the keys. Why spend hours learning and then rebinding all the keys when I can instead play some Dota? /s
Makes sense. Spanish keyboards have Ñ instead of semicolon, so it’d break. But I’m sure other things break in France, where they use AZERTY. So it’s not that universal.
That makes me wonder, is there a way to get a keypress based on the position of the key, rather than the keycode? Would that be useful? Would assuming everyone is using a normal keyboard with letters in the same place even make sense? How would that interop with things like QMK?
Huh, I thought most keybindings where tied to the position of the keys, being vim “motions”, as in how you move your fingers or something like that.
Maybe there are vim layouts for dvorak that I can use? Because I think I’d prefer to have the keybindings in the same place.
I use a dvorak-based layout personally, but spanish QWERTY at work. Some time ago I learned EMACS with qwerty, so when I switched to dvorak my muscle memory was ruined, even if I knew the keybindings. I wonder if it’s worth it learning 2 keybindings to be able to switch layouts

You’ll get better with practice. When I started with my Corne i was typing at 5-10 letters per minute the first week. After a month of practice I reached around 50 wpm, and hit a ceiling of ~90 wpm.
Speed should be a metric, not a target. It should be a side effect of using a better keyboard, so don’t focus on speed. Instead focus on accuracy, and learning exactly where each key is.
Since we are talking about printers, doesn’t CUPS require drivers to be installed? I have an EPSON L3150 & L395 at work and they are the only thing keeping me from installing linux in all the computers.
So basically I just need to set the print quality to high, and use the scanner. I’ve tried the official DEB drivers in Ubuntu, compiled the source code in Ubuntu & Arch, and nothing works. I can’t set the print quality (the option isn’t even listed when printing/in the printer settings)
Those epsons have their own scanner program, Epson Scanner or something. Installed from DEB and source, they work only sometimes. Tried skanlite, also sometimes work. Sometimes it detects the scanner, other times it doesn’t.
Tried using CUPS, it still required me to install the printer drivers.
Tried generic built-in drivers, don’t work.
Tried epson-inkjet-printer-escpr from AUR. Doesn’t work.
All done while having the printer directly connected to the PC. Nothing reliably works.
How does one even setup IPP? It’s easier to find documentation about the latest JS frontend framework than setting up IPP
In Kubuntu, I had to download source and spend 2h compiling, every 5 minutes CMake complained a dependency was missing, searching how the dependency package is called, installing, now another dependency…
I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store....
Do you know yourself for a fact that no data is being taken by Sync itself?
And its a fact that Google and Firebase are taking your data. Even if Sync itself doesn’t collect any data, it uses Google products (as stated in their Privacy Policy which I’m 1000% you did read), and any and all google products will take your data.
That’s the point of using a FOSS client, if it collected data people would know, the code is public. And the data collection can be removed, since the code is public.
Even outside of data collection or privacy, which clearly you don’t care about, we should avoid giving Google more power. Look at manifest v3 or the web integrity API. That affects not only your privacy, but your security and ability to use the internet. And not only yours, but the whole world
I think the issue is not with wether the dev collects data, its about the dev using google products, which do collect, store and sell data.
There are alternatives to Firebase, (i think they can even be self hosted), so its something that can be improved without affecting much the development time or other aspects.
Well, you are just one of the (majority of) people who apparently don’t care about being tracked by google. Me personally, others in the comments and maybe OP don’t use anything google related, have custom ROMs without gapps and avoid Google like the plague. So it is a concern for us, using Sync would open the door to google tracking.
Others have pointed out that even if you pay for pro, Sync still requires Play Services.
You seem to happily Google products, so my point wouldn’t apply to you. I just thought that most people would be concerned about google and tracking and fingerprinting and all that stuff, since we are in Lemmy and the Liftoff sub.
You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.
Users were asking for it, that’s true. I guess users don’t really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.
Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.
When i connect to my jellyfin server to stream/download video/audio the speeds are tied to my internet speed. If my internet speed drops so does the transfer rate from my server. However it seems tied to my internet download speed (which varies from 0.5 to 80 mb/s), not the upload speed(which is usually 2 mb/s), and if i...
My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can’t open any port. Then my isp’s router’s local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.

I think that would allow a “better” democracy in paper, but not much would change. Using my country as an example:
One person, one vote, voting is mandatory, if you don’t vote you have to pay penalties and lose access to many government services. Businesses are required to give time off for voting. Elections are so fragmented that in the last one a person with 15% of the total votes won. People voted for they in second round only because they were the lesser of two evils.
Candidats are still shit, evil persons that only care about using the government to enrich themselves (and have a history of doing so), most of the population are so bad educated that they only need to hear a few promises to vote for them.
Not implemented. Would be specially nice for the fragmentation.
We only have congress. Still corrupt, still holds most of the power, uses it to gain money through laws that benefit them and their businesses. It is very fragmented, but it doesn’t matter, because they join when they need to pass a law that benefits them. Leaders of the political parties decide which laws to pass, and tell the congresspeople how to vote. If someone does’t vote as they are told, they are removed from congress.
And to get to congress you have to bribe a lot of money to a lot of people, so no one would self destruct after getting in debt before realizing some earnings.
Supreme court justices are not permanent, last only 5 years, no reelections, appointed by congress. So what? Just do the things that need to be done during your 5 years. After that the new congress will place new puppets. If a major scandal is revealed, you’ll be protected by congress, allowed to leave the country with all your money, and forgotten in a few years.
Bribes are illegal, lobbying is illegal. We did it Patrick! Bribery is no more! You can just get money off the table. However, here the opposite is argued. Congresspeople and the president should have the highest salaries, so that they wouldn’t have incentives to take bribes (they earn so much, why risk it to get more). But even if they were
… but if even if they were to earn minimum wage, they can just, you know, take bribes? Just don’t tell anyone about it. Or pass laws that benefit them.
