It’s beautiful, pls post an update and ping if you manage it!

Localsend works well for me when kdeconnect has slip ups

Reaper DAW, for (attempting) making music

I thought maybe an NGO or non-profit subsidized by a gov’t (e.g. taxing ISPs or telecos) would work for stuff within a geographic region, just like allocate server space and the main benefit would be to have a knowledgeable citizenry/residents of tech stuff.

Great comment

ah fair enough, thanks for the response!

that’s fair, i’ll definitely have to see what the changes to my workflow are

hmm… HMM, could i ask do you prefer USB-C because of power delivery?

when I use a windows laptop, I don’t really take over my Mac habits (e.g. CMD-OPT-ESC, or using 4 finger pinch or 3 finger swipe up or down), however when using a MacBook even when remoting in to a windows computer I automatically use what I am used to on my MacBook.

do you find that you have some frustration with the user experience and interfacing with asahi linux on your MacBook? i.e. you use the gestures lets say that you would use and they don’t work, or rather, you could make it work but it’s too much trouble.

if it’s a painless kind of switch over, then I think I would be willing to learn or relearn or customize the desktop environment to my liking even if it took a bit of time. however if it’s bug-laden and ‘appears’ to be too much like macOS on the onset, it would probably be more trouble than it’s worth at the moment to use as a daily driver (dual booting in this case would make it even more confusing to demarcate for me).

so yeah that’s a lot to ask you for what your thoughts & experiences were…

hmm, yeah dual boot sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing your experience!

True, yeah I think I saw that mentioned somewhere, thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, that’s fair enough, gotta do my own homework some of the time.

Oh yeah? I can be hostile to our views even in hexbear. Watch me start a struggle session on checks notes outdoor vegan cats!1!!

Sometimes I think of things in the shower and after I’m done I can’t find the post I wanted to post in :/

Interesting, I think I’ll take a look. You sorta skipper over what ‘normie’ or reddit behaviour was mentioned in his book specifically. Was it the lack of reading scientific articles you mentioned in another paragraph, that alone can’t be it right?

I believe I have the same experience you have, I think others have a different experience and it makes me curious as to why, I think there might be something interesting there and ignoring it or treating it minimally doesn’t seem to be ideal. If there’s a different kind of lemmy experience or set of interactions, I want to know, what is it?

i have 2, syncing accounts some way between instances (maybe subscribe lists) would be nice.

what do you mean refuse by principle to fix it? the solution that comes to mind is for a whitelist that is implemented either in federation broadly or lemmy specifically for certain categories (think TLDs) which are agreed to have a certain focus, like on literature or video games or music, where the instances themselves can join or link to.

kinda bypass a community being held hostage (or kept isolated) by an instance, the whitelists can be determined through a simple majority (first past the post) or any other method by members of communities rather than instance moderators/admins.

i get that many folks don’t like hexbear and i have nothing against them, i certainly don’t want to force them to see content they don’t want; giving granular control over specific content (not just a blacklist like per-user instance blocking) seems ideal.

what do you think?

I use FreeCad as an alternative to Solidworks. It has its own way of doing things… but it’s more or less feature complete with respect to designing stuff.
