In a way, or at least in spirit, it’s similar to the Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools, which is something NODE has mentioned enjoying before. So I suppose it is more of a catalog. It is unfortunate it’s reliant on having an internet connection to be used, but still, quite an impressive collection.

I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you’re interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.

FreeTube is a client that runs on your own computer, it’s not a host I can link to like Invidious was, because google effectively killed that method.

Sorry to hear his humor wasn’t to your liking.

I think it’s more for the neat factor than anything. It’d be a cool spice rack if mounted on a wall in a pantry.

“Ugh, get off my back, mom! I’ll figure out ethics by myself! Jeez…”

Ahh, Kotor 2, my first morally ambiguous RPG that made me question if it was wrong to help homeless people due to unforseen consequences as a 12 year old (which, BTW Kreia, it IS good to help homeless people who are starving, wtf dude)

That was a well done little compass thing, and a lovely trip down memory lane. Thanks for the share Jesus!

OP, just so you know, Invidious was effectively killed by Google, rendering the video unplayable unless you click through to youtube. The best replacement I’ve found is Freetube combined with libredirect., which I recommend to others in the post body text when I share a video.

Welcome! :)

I figure it’s not too different from a regular text post here, so if there’s a community that seems relevant to the post somehow, that’d prolly be best.

As to how to find them, I’d recommend the communities tab of lemmyverse explorer, and searching a word or category that seems close to what you’re posting to see if there’s a community that already exists for it.

Interesting article! It’s a shame the documentation is lacking :(

Oh, and as for the different sorting options:

• Hot sorts by the number of upvotes and how recent the post itself is
• Active sorts by number of upvotes and how many recent comments a post has (lively discussion ranks higher)
• Scaled sorts like Hot, but tries to prioritize or give more weight to smaller communities
• Controversial sorts by giving comments or posts a higher rank if they have an even mix of down votes and upvotes

My old pixel 4a with graphene os is still as fluid and snappy as the day I bought it.

For minor things it works alright. For slightly advanced things, like making making curved text, it’s not intuitive compared to Photoshop. Though personally, even for minor things I found Krita more pleasant.

A UI designer made this little short about Gimp, which I think captures the sorta things that can be frustrating.

I’m extremely pleased to hear they will be taking UI seriously.

Ooh, that’s nice. I could see that effectively replacing disqus comments below articles. Cool beans!

There really oughta be a hurricane-proof trend, like dome houses, and for the coastline, domes on stilts.

In the case of refrigerators, there doesn’t need to be any trade-off between efficiency and heavy duty. The main thing determining efficiency is primarily where the heat exchanger is positioned (top mounted is the most efficient, but uncommon), and the thickness and quality (R value) of the insulation.

If you add extra insulation to an old heavy duty fridge, it increases its efficiency by 50% or more (depending on the thickness of insulation).

The extra insulation, as a side effect of better efficiency through better temperature retention, will also extend the lifespan of the compressor, which will need to run half as much as normal.

The main reason this isn’t done from the factory is cost, and to reduce the physical dimensions of the fridge.

Yes, but can be reduced by half with extra insulation :D

And, at least from what I recall, the incentive for bell to toss that excess money into research, is the corporate tax rates were so high it would’ve been taken from them if not spent anyway.

I don’t believe so. The only options I see in the settings is the ability to export and import lists and notes manually with a file.

1List is the best list-making app I’ve tried that’s open source. Really polished and quick.

Along those same lines, Notally is the best note taking app I’ve tried.

And since someone else mentioned Voyager, I’ll mention Eternity as well!

Lastly, Weawow is the best weather app I’ve used, though Quickweather on f-droid is a close second (but requires an API key to work, so bit of a hassle to set up).

That’s extremely sad to hear, I hope they recover someday :(

There’s a few areas where it’s lacking, the text tool being one of them, and it also can’t export to PDF for professional book cover printing. But I’m not a professional photo editer either, and almost exclusively use Krita for editing anyway, since it’s so my h easier to use.
