there is only one other app on f-droid, I've avoided it since it has not been updated in almost a year. I'll give it a go ๐Ÿ‘

lemmy.world not meeting minimal version requirement for app Jerboa for Lemmy (lemmy.world)
 

installed Jerboa for Lemmy, but when I try to log in it complains that lemmy.world does not meet minimal version requirement.

The minimal version requirement is 0.18, but the server is running 0.17.4:

when will the server be updated?

Do you think that Lemmy will last or will it die in a few weeks? in c/[email protected]

I almost hope it "fails" to replace reddit, since reddit was/is crap. I'd perfer if lemmy remained relatively small, without the toxic userbase and spammy content of reddit.

what's the criteria for "trending"? (lemmy.world)
 

None of these "trending" communities have any posts:

If the criteria is "recently created", then why call it "trending"?

I have a machine running Linux with dwm, but since I can't use it at my job I end up rarely using it at all :p

perfect mouse for chording (lemmy.world)

TLDR; mouse chording is triggering custom actions (like copying text) by holding down a mouse button and then pressing another. This is best done with a three-button-mouse, where the middle button does not double as scroll wheel.

I became aware of this when I discovered Acme, the text editor of plan9 - which uses mouse chording for a few things. This explanation of mouse chording in Acme is pretty good.

I found it very interesting and wanted this to work system wide on my computer.

After some hacking in AutoHotKey I got the following setup to work:

  • Left + Middle = copy
  • Left + Right = paste
  • Right + Left = undo
  • Right + Middle = redo
  • Middle + Left = enter
  • Middle + Right = space
  • Middle + Scroll = switch app (Alt+Tab)

I find this very useful, and it saves me from needing to switch back and forth between the keyboard and mouse all the time, which is annoying.

I can also be productive while using only the mouse - especially for simple tasks like data entry; copying text fields, one by one, from one window to another.

To do this effectively, one really needs a three button mouse, often referred to as "CAD mouse" (because of some software called CAD that requires this).

Mice like this are kind of rare, but I eventually found this, which is what I currently use: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Shengshou-Buttons-Scroll-Wireless-Suitable/dp/B0832BBY8Y/

I really like how the scroll wheel is on the side and out of the way of the buttons.

This one is more or less the same, but with the scroll wheel between the left and middle button: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Wireless-Rechargeable-Precision-Portable-Defining/dp/B087TFLVPJ/

This seems to be the perfect mouse for chording, but It's a little expensive: https://www.amazon.com/3DConnexion-CadMouse-Pro-Mouse-Optical/dp/B08R5KS38N/

I'll probably get one eventually, since it has back and forward buttons which I can use to add even more custom chordings.

Anyone else into mouse button chording? Any other good mice for this?

I've long thought I should record all my books, and figure out which ones I will probably never read and sell them. Could probably clear out a shelf or two.

modern computers are slower and more annoying (lemmy.world)
 

I feel like computers have gotten 1000x more powerful and still somehow slower and more annoying to use in the last 40 years.

the good old commodore 64 booted in 2 seconds. as soon as it was up, you could start writing commands; no login, no updates, no popups..

saving food scraps to make broth - it's good for reducing waste, but pointless for saving money - broth cubes cost nothing and the scraps will just take up space in the freezer that could be used for better cost saving activities.
