Discovered something clever:

I use Ctrl+Super+L for screen locking in #KDE #Plasma.
It works fine, but Plasma doesn't automatically pause media playback when locking the screen.
So, I removed the lockscreen shortcut, and added a custom Ctrl+Super+L shortcut to execute:
bash -c 'playerctl pause & qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock'

Perfect!

My music stopped playing, the phone rang, I answered it.
After speaking for a few minutes, I hung up and the music started up again.

It took me a second to realize that the music wasn't coming from my phone, it was coming from my computer.

#KDEConnect is groovy, y'all. It pauses your music when a phone call comes in. (MPRIS-compatible player required, of course, but even mpv on the command line can do that)

#KDE #Plasma

I realized recently that my phone typing accuracy goes way up if I hold the phone lower down, giving my thumbs more space to hit the space bar accurately (because nothing I've used so far is particularly good at recognizing something like "goingbhome" as "going home").

The only problem is the center of gravity of the phone is mostly out of my hands at that point.

Phone cases really need "wings" like game controllers have. Foldable ones would be groovy.

Here is my #FediCircle

Fetched from https://data.natty.sh/fedi-circles/

There's also #MastodonCircle, from https://circle.grasserisen.de/

It is interesting to see the slight differences and I wonder how they work exactly

I just realized that Windows 7 is 14 years old.

Back when Windows 7 was released, Windows 95 was also 14 years old.

Damn.

Several months after my last attempts to get Linux anything to play nice on any of my machines went disastrously, I finally got it!

This feels nice... ​:bunhdcomfyidle:​

Fascinating, when you installed windows 98 the install first went through DOS, installed a minimal version of windows 3 which it used to install windows 98.

More progress on the Pixelfed app!

Gosh this feels so much faster and cleaner 😎

Can’t wait to ship this, now it’s open sourced we can target F-Droid and more!

(Don’t expect me to merge every PR though, I have a solid vision for the app and you may be better off forking it)

It's still possible in 2024 to just make a website using straight HTML and CSS. That option never went away
