@dansup@mastodon.social is looking for admins to beta test hosting federated Loops instances
  • His work speaks for itself — it’s incredible. Self proclaiming on social media that he’s built different every other day is cringey.

  • @dansup@mastodon.social is looking for admins to beta test hosting federated Loops instances
  • Anyone else just have to laugh at all his humblebrags? I’m rooting for the guy and his projects to succeed but holy crap he’s so full of himself lol

    This may not be the best example if you’re new to his posts

    And maybe I’m just jealous idk

  • 2024, the year of the Linux laptop
  • I want to be this guy but I’ve grown so accustomed to the level of polish and care for design that Apple has put into both their hardware and software. I just don’t see how the linux option will ever get close, like ever.

    For the record I’ve migrated my windows gaming pc to Linux.

  • elementary OS 8 Available Now
  • Is this supposed to be the best designed distro? I’m just starting my Linux journey.

  • Yes, It ‘Looks Like a Duck,’ but Carriers Like the New Mail Truck
  • Who would say that pleasure isn’t functional

  • Is there a peertube client for iOS?
  • Am I blind or is there no way to log in yet?

  • What's the best Matrix client?
  • Hard to beat the Element app or its ‘development build’ the Element X app

  • In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?
  • Nobody can predict the future. That being said, I am no longer optimistic.

  • Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2
  • Please make it feel less cheap than all your other creaky plastic stuff, Valve

  • Arctic v0.4.2.4 is out on TestFlight with official support for MacOS
  • First time trying Arctic and it’s great. Love all the options and overall impression of maturity I get from the app. Few notes from a picky Product Designer:

    • I can’t figure out how to join a community (I’m trying to join Arctic)
    • The app icon options don’t spark joy or make me want to keep the app on my home screen.
    • very picky, but a little more padding above posts would be nice (especially when the community label on top is turned off)
    • very picky, but a 1px subtle highlight on the top and bottom bars would be helpful, especially if the bar shadows are disabled (on dark mode)
    • The profile header seems underbaked
    • ~~I couldn’t find this post to edit it from my profile. ~~ Found it, but took some extra brain cycles
    • “Edit” instead of Done while editing a post is weird
    • I keep opening the post options while scrolling the feed with my right hand
    • An option to disable guest mode would be nice, I don’t think I’ll ever use it and the extra account option can distract from my intention
    • I prefer how Mlem handles the subscription page (more compact with instances on the right of the community name). The typography is a little odd in Arctic
    • Would be nice if the image transition animation were quicker
    • I see that you made improvements to scrolling performance, but I’m still experiencing a little judder
    • Seeing “no content here” as a loading state for content is odd
    • An option to hide the iOS status bar in addition to the other bars (on scroll) might be nice
    • An accent color of white is seemingly not compatible with the iOS toggle buttons

    Is there anyway to disable the fresh open splash screen?

    Are account specific settings in the plans?

    Where did the Arctic name come from? Does it inspire any design decisions?

    I’ll take a look at the iPad version and report back

    Self host

    Hi, have there been any improvements made to make self hosting easier in the last few months? Any good docker guides created? TIA

    Cowboy levels of style?

    Y’all bout to start calling me a Cowboy shill, but I’m just convinced that they have the best looking eBike. Can anyone here point me to something (in the US) that they think looks better? Or close? I can’t find anything that has as nice of a cockpit with their polished app and hidden cables. I’m also a big fan of how their step through bikes don’t look like an afterthought or just for women.

    FSD v12.5

    Found myself visiting r/teslamotors the last couple weeks and so I’m moving the discussion here — how is it? Anyone get it on their hw3 model yet?

    Selfhosted SSL cert issue

    Hi, I’m hosting mastodon for personal use on subdomain.domain.tld — it has a valid ssl cert. The issue is that when I set the vanity server name to domain.tld (no subdomain) and create a Let’s Encrypt cert for domain.tld. The namecheap ssl cert checker says that the Hostname doesn’t match the Common Name or/and the SANs.

    I have domain.tld redirect via an Alias record to my Synology server (just like the subdomain) but for some reason it’s fine on the subdomain but not for the root domain.

    Any one have any experience with this? TIA.

    What to do with an acre of grass

    I don’t want this much ornamental grass, what do I do? Let nature take over a patch of it? Hire a landscape designer for a minimum of 10k? Please send help.

    More info: I’ve stopped using -icides and I have a robot mower at 3.5”.

    I have let a patch grow wild and added a couple apple trees and wildflowers. The city code enforcers want to mow it and fine me, but I don’t plan on letting them.

    I’m kinda against fences because they feel pretty anti-social and I’m already only allowed to see people if I use a car. Then again, fences seem like the only way to combat these crazy deer.

    I don’t want to design it myself because I want to believe that professional landscape designers do more than just plop stuff around on a whim.

    Wi-Fi motion detection

    Think we’ll ever get something like this? I miss it from my old Plume network.

    DGN red ring of death

    Anyone know how to overcome the DGN red loading animation and stopped stream? Doesn’t seem to recover on its own — I’ve been having to exit the stream and reopen it to buy me another minute of watch time.

    The new crater music is pretty disappointing imo

    What’s the trick to getting stable FPS in OW2?

    Feels like I’ve tried everything except changing the proton version. I’m playing on an OLED if that makes a difference.

    When is that dock coming out?

    And maybe more importantly, when are they gonna add Bluetooth audio support?

    Image zoom control gesture

    Why doesn’t the double tap and swipe (up or down) to zoom gesture work? Is it broken or can it be added?

    Feature Request: AI auto crop/ focus on subject

    cloudinary.com AI-Based Image Auto-Crop Algorithm Sticks to the Subject

    Deep learning subject detection algorithm makes Cloudinary's g_auto even better. Get just the right automatic crop on every image for every responsive view.

    AI-Based Image Auto-Crop Algorithm Sticks to the Subject

    Like the tool I linked to, I think it would be a large step forward for Mlem if it could better handle images. Currently, images seem to be cropped to the center with no intelligence and make opening the image a requirement or something the user is dissuaded from doing. I know it’s a bigger ask, but someone’s gotta do it.

    How to hide pinned posts?

    Is there an option I’m overlooking or does it not exist? If it doesn’t, can I request it be added? I’m tired of seeing giant text/ posts at the top of my feed like a giant banner ad.

    Is there a guide to hosting on a raspberry pi yet?

    Any new 6E/7 AP rumors?

    I’m in need of a new AP but it looks like the majority being offered are still Wi-Fi 5 or 6. Has anyone heard what may be coming next?

    Anyone else have MyQ issues?

    Set to auto open and close via location, the command doesn’t always seem to go through. I’ve added a WiFi AP to the garage and enabled stay connected in drive on the Tesla. Not sure what else to try or what is causing the problem. Any ideas?

    Why change the name and get me all excited like that. Now I gotta make a return and find a different wallet. Also, from my first day with FineWoven, it is not a good leather replacement — it feels cheaper.

    It’s time for a better app icon

    www.wefwef.app wefwef for lemmy

    wefwef is a beautiful mobile web client for lemmy. Enjoy a seamless experience browsing the fediverse.

    I don’t enjoy providing sensitive feedback like this, but it needs to be said — the current app icon is hurting the success of this great Lemmy web app as evidenced by my ability to keep it posted on my homescreen for any longer.

    Dream Wall Pro — any info?

    I see that it was announced about a year ago. Was it ever launched? If not, do you think it still will? It seems to check all the boxes for me.
