    B-but the pretty colors and design!

    They don’t care. Never have. They are happy to give away their soul to Google if it means it’s a little more convenient/pretty.

    They are not in lemmy because of fediverse/descentralization/privacy/foss, they are here just because they don’t want to be in reddit.


  • Huh, I thought most keybindings where tied to the position of the keys, being vim “motions”, as in how you move your fingers or something like that.

    Maybe there are vim layouts for dvorak that I can use? Because I think I’d prefer to have the keybindings in the same place.

    I use a dvorak-based layout personally, but spanish QWERTY at work. Some time ago I learned EMACS with qwerty, so when I switched to dvorak my muscle memory was ruined, even if I knew the keybindings. I wonder if it’s worth it learning 2 keybindings to be able to switch layouts


  • Makes sense. Spanish keyboards have Ñ instead of semicolon, so it’d break. But I’m sure other things break in France, where they use AZERTY. So it’s not that universal.

    That makes me wonder, is there a way to get a keypress based on the position of the key, rather than the keycode? Would that be useful? Would assuming everyone is using a normal keyboard with letters in the same place even make sense? How would that interop with things like QMK?


  • My main problem with vim is that they use hjkl instead of jkl; , it doesn’t make sense to me why they’d do that.

    And my second problem is that I use my own custom keyboard layout instead of qwerty, so I’d have to remap all the keys. Why spend hours learning and then rebinding all the keys when I can instead play some Dota? /s





  • You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.

    Users were asking for it, that’s true. I guess users don’t really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.

    Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.



  • From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don’t access it from the outside (can’t open ports on residential connection in my country :c )

    All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.

    The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don’t think that should influence…




  • TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.

    I don’t think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.
