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

Since we are talking about printers, doesn’t CUPS require drivers to be installed? I have an EPSON L3150 & L395 at work and they are the only thing keeping me from installing linux in all the computers.
So basically I just need to set the print quality to high, and use the scanner. I’ve tried the official DEB drivers in Ubuntu, compiled the source code in Ubuntu & Arch, and nothing works. I can’t set the print quality (the option isn’t even listed when printing/in the printer settings)
Those epsons have their own scanner program, Epson Scanner or something. Installed from DEB and source, they work only sometimes. Tried skanlite, also sometimes work. Sometimes it detects the scanner, other times it doesn’t.
Tried using CUPS, it still required me to install the printer drivers.
Tried generic built-in drivers, don’t work.
Tried epson-inkjet-printer-escpr from AUR. Doesn’t work.
All done while having the printer directly connected to the PC. Nothing reliably works.
How does one even setup IPP? It’s easier to find documentation about the latest JS frontend framework than setting up IPP
Am i dumb?
Yeah, I once tried to switch to Kubuntu, wanted my macos style global menu. In arch I just
yay -S plasma5-applets-window-appmenu
In Kubuntu, I had to download source and spend 2h compiling, every 5 minutes CMake complained a dependency was missing, searching how the dependency package is called, installing, now another dependency…
Well, you are just one of the (majority of) people who apparently don’t care about being tracked by google. Me personally, others in the comments and maybe OP don’t use anything google related, have custom ROMs without gapps and avoid Google like the plague. So it is a concern for us, using Sync would open the door to google tracking.
Others have pointed out that even if you pay for pro, Sync still requires Play Services.
You seem to happily Google products, so my point wouldn’t apply to you. I just thought that most people would be concerned about google and tracking and fingerprinting and all that stuff, since we are in Lemmy and the Liftoff sub.
I think the issue is not with wether the dev collects data, its about the dev using google products, which do collect, store and sell data.
There are alternatives to Firebase, (i think they can even be self hosted), so its something that can be improved without affecting much the development time or other aspects.
Posted from my LineageOS phone, no gapps, microG, only foss apps.
I hope you felt good and happy writing your comment, unlike the rabid, angry, superior acting, elite hacker, bitches, knobs, baffoons FOSS fanboys.
Do you know yourself for a fact that no data is being taken by Sync itself?
And its a fact that Google and Firebase are taking your data. Even if Sync itself doesn’t collect any data, it uses Google products (as stated in their Privacy Policy which I’m 1000% you did read), and any and all google products will take your data.
That’s the point of using a FOSS client, if it collected data people would know, the code is public. And the data collection can be removed, since the code is public.
Even outside of data collection or privacy, which clearly you don’t care about, we should avoid giving Google more power. Look at manifest v3 or the web integrity API. That affects not only your privacy, but your security and ability to use the internet. And not only yours, but the whole world
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.
My isp gives me something a public ip like 200.191.57.xxx, but that ip changes and I can’t open any port. Then my isp’s router’s local network is 192.168.0.xxx, my TP link router connects there (to 192.168.0.3 i think). Then my TP link manages ips 192.168.1.xxx. My jelly server is at 192.168.1.10, my devices are at 192.168.1.5, 8, etc.
Everything is local, nothing goes outside
I will check qos, i think i saw it enabled or something, thanks
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.
Firefox flaptak, can’t play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it’s broken…
I think it depends on how you enter, Liftoff and Connect do
Marketing version (23.04 or just 23) and semver (3.11.3)
Change my mind
Maybe not as much, it would seem that way, but the same thing happened with Sync last month and people were defending the app, ads & google because the app is prettier, more convenient or familiar.
