Using the WiiMote as a mouse

I am running Pop_OS! and want to set up an old WiiMote I have lying around as a mouse. I have a USB-sensor bar, and I don’t have any issues connecting the remote to the computer, and the inputs seems to register just fine when running xwiishow 1 after the remote is connected. I am also able to use it perfectly fine as a...

it sounds to me according to wiki.archlinux.org/title/XWiimote that you might just need to run modprobe hid-wiimote and it just might work?

The second sentence says:

This driver is part of upstream Linux since version 3.1.

lemmy uses clockwerk i believe, there’s a few out there for rust.

yes, the best is to figure out if it’s specific to the front end you’re using, and if not, then submit it as a bug to the appropriate lemmy repo.

Anyways, yes, the issue you linked there appears to be the same issue.

yeah, it’s never a bad idea to make a post here.

Sounds like there might be a rate limit for creating communities. I tried to find the exact number for you but couldn’t see it in the settings. I’ll dig around to see if I can figure it out.

looks like there is an outstanding issue for this: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

maybe you’re running into a different limit? i’m not sure.

Save On Foods, the one on Regent, I believe.

i’ve removed /c/healthquestions. /c/nostupidquestions is also moderated by the same mod as the others too, so that one could use a proper mod too since it’s an active community as well.

i can mod you there if you’d like too. it’s up to you! thank you for helping make it better here!

smorks,
@smorks@lemmy.ca avatar

ok, modded! and glad to hear!

smorks,
@smorks@lemmy.ca avatar

sure, I can mod you there, you just need to make a post or comment in that community.

smorks,

modded & transferred.

I use youmail free too. I doubt it’s very privacy respecting, but it does the trick for the few voicemails I get.

I built my own a while back using twilio and my own android app, but gave up on it, can’t remember why exactly anymore.

The bot has been unbanned.

For some context as to why, there was something that was reported as spam (can’t remember the exact thing off the top of my head), and it looked like the community was unmoderated, with only the bot contributing, so it was banned.

With the addition of the extra mods, etc, the bot should be fine! Sorry about that!

thanks, i dealt with these yesterday, as well as another one this morning.

wow there’s consequences for your actions. who knew?

and mom & dad’s money wasn’t able to let them off the hook. the system works! at least in this case.

smorks,

no, it works fine on my non-rooted phone.

i’m not sure about the Connect app but on desktop it should be right beside the “Read” checkmark:

you have to manually mark them as “read”, unless you’re replying. don’t think there’s a way to change that currently?

Sorry for the delay, I talked this over with the other admins, and here’s what we decided:

  1. NSFL/gore content is not allowed.
  2. That’s a tough one. Artistic should be fine. Medical/injury should also be fine, as long as it’s not wading into NSFL/gore stuff.

Hope that helps!
