I guess it would be too much to get a set of metronomes eh.

soooo how do I access it?

Not everyone can have 2 computers for all kinds of reasons.

Everyone do you best. Prioritize your data and take stronger precautions for the most important.

Lucky Backup is a fantastic piece of software. It is the perfect amount of GUI to spread over rsync.

boooooo crypto yuck

If you want to host your own github-type server, there is no need to demean yourself by even going near crypto scams. try any of these https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#software-development---project-management

there are also various instances of these softwares available if you prefer to sign up to someone else's server than DIYing.

I doubt you'll be able to make something adhere securely long term. if I was to try I would drill holes on the sides only and fill with hot glue. I added hot glue to keys before and it stayed for a fairly long time. Holes on the top will be annoying on the fingertips. There would always be a perceptible difference. And your filler will eventually fall off. if you really wish to pursue the project you will need to investigate the material your keys are made of and what will adhere to it.

You're basiclaly trying to DIY double shot keys. I think it would be really hard to duplicate this without a factory:

I suggest you go on ali express and buy shine-through key of the same profile and compatible texture. You can buy blank keys or modifier keys in small amounts, even one at a time depending. Make sure to get the correct size per your layout.

In a conventional set up you have tabs which are collected into windows. When you close a window, all tabs it contains are closed. You can do other things on all the tabs in a window, like reload, unload, bookmark, etc.

Windows can be divided among workspaces arbitrarily or can be on all workspaces. Workspaces can be created or deleted on the fly. Windows which are in a deleted workspace do not close, they just move to an adjacent workspace. Though you could probably script otherwise if you wanted.

From your screenshot am thinking your system is just like having all tabs in a single window in a single workspace?

in case you don't know, you can discard tabs natively without an extension in FF now by going to URL about:unloads. it's a newish feature in the past year or so. much more rudimentary than Auto Tab Discard but gets the job done with one less extension.

whatever gets em there

It's written in a messy way but I actually read it the opposite way.

There is a non insignificant portion of the gun community who, when presented with the concept of “everybody should be taught gun safety, because it’s a right granted to us” relating specifically to liberals (go figure) happen to get really fucking antsy at the thought of people they don’t like owning guns.

I think what @KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com meant was that the 2A people don't seem to be very interested in defending gun rights for people outside their circles. I don't know if I'd use liberals as the example here. I think Black people would be far more salient.

Did the NRA Support a 1967 'Open Carry' Ban in California? | Snopes.com

While 1967 was a long time ago, the "antsiness" has remained. How often do you hear of these people doing anything to defend the people who are the primary targets of anti gun laws? Which is, by a large margin, Black and other racialized people.

I heard an interview with some Public Defenders who had submitted an amicus brief in relation to a guns rights case on the basis that even though the actual case was stupid, changing the law would materially improve the lives of overincarcerted communities. I thought it was on 5-4 podcast in follow up to the first ep that covered the case in a less friendly way: New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. I don't find the subsequent ep where they had the PDs on for an interview.. maybe it was taken down.

Thanks, great answer!

I couldn't possibly obtain access to this software any way except through the employer. They only sell it to people in the industry and it's too niche to pirate. It also only works in context of other stuff that would be impossible to reproduce.

I will think on it... I don't even know who would be able to make a decision like that on behalf of the employer and since it's unlikely it has ever come up before probably nobody does. I'd probably end up sitting in front of the Big Boss trying to explain what open source is and why I am spending their time on it and why a license means anything.

thanks I will read that!

my industry is so unaware of this sort of thing that it would literally never occur to anyone to include it in a contract or even policies. i've never heard of it being discussed.

I am not worried about personal legal problems. I intend to distribute for free to other people doing similar jobs who are not competitors. I guess the worst is that someone could make me change it or something? I would probably never be in a position to enforce anyway.

It is primarily an educational intervention for other users. So I don't want to do it wrongly enough that it causes confusion.

I like light themes and agree that they can be done well. Overall my problem with dark themes is they are too low contrast everything melts into everything else. Who doesn't want a distinct border around a window?

I made a proto mail account recently and got the message about this.

But since i dont have a gmail account I cant do it. I think there was another one that was impractical also.

How do you prove the gmail thing? Without providing them your gmail info?

I agree the debian website is exremely confusing. I was wandering around for ages with a dozen tabs open trying to find the actual download link I need.

I think i read that it uses an old version of electron or something? Do i recall correctly?

I dont know how to code but i have made contribs on repos. For documentation and stuff.

Some repos are very complex and some are simple. It is typically roughly corrolated to size: larger projects = more complex. And then it depends on the language/platform/toolchain being used. Some of them can be very ellaborate. If you dont typically work on that kind of project the set up can be very difficult as you are starting from scratch with dependencies, might need dev versions, can be a whole thing.

Also there are some things which are organizational choices made by the maintainers. A couple of times i was unable to contribute to docs because they werent seperated from the rest of the project and just to edit markdown files you had to install a whole dev toolchain and who knows what. I gave up before getting anywhere. Whereas others have different components segregated nicely.

Then there is quality control stuff having to do with testing, formating and such. You might only find out about that once you've got through everything else and time comes to make a PR.

Start out by using git and github or alternative for yourself to learn the basics. Then pick a smaller, explicitly beginer friendly project to make some minor contributions. Something with a few maintainers and regular contributions from others is generally a good balance. Look for an updated CONTRIBUTING file or equivilant section in the documentation.

I think making a few markdown contribs first is probably advisable even for programers because most of the time it is more simple.

Unless there is a signature option i asssume doing it by hand also. Its like 3x retro.
