I would like to help an open-source project with UI design and UX design. I have over 18 years of experience in the field and have worked with desktop and mobile software on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android

  • Do you have much experience with deployment? I've got a small hobby project with a GUI written in Qt, and I've been having a hard time writing reproducible build scripts for cross-platform deployment.

    On macOS, I can distribute the executable with homebrew and add Qt as a dependency. On Linux, I could theoretically build an AppImage, but I would prefer to have the build process handled by GitHub Actions, which doesn't have sufficient resources to statically build Qt. On Windows, I'm at a total loss...

    My project is tiny, but it does have a niche market, and I'd love to make it available to as many people as possible. Qt is killing me!!!!

    Sorry, I know that doesn't have anything to do with the design side of things. I'm just throwing darts, cause I've had a hard time on my own with this.

    • Do you ever get scared of being eating up by a community for reporting problems.

  • I would try to have those discussions via a GitHub issue instead of social media. Actual developers (versus fanboys) would appreciate the feedback.

    • Hyperpop Communities?

  • Everyone likes what they like! Honestly, I am nobody to judge, since some of the hyperpop I love the most sounds like an autotuned car accident lol

    • Hyperpop Communities?

  • It's fairly loosely defined, but it's best known for harsh instrumentals, heavy autotune, and intense compression. It's sort of a meta-genre which exaggerates certain aspects of popular music. At least in my experience, it is very popular with queer people, and there is a lot of remarkable hyperpop from LGBT+ (especially trans) artists. That being said, it is certainly not limited to that demographic. There is a fair amount of hyperpop that breaches hard rock, hip-hop, and even country.

  • Well, to be honest, my definition of hyperpop is pretty loose. As far as the typical sugary and synth-laden goes: Slayyyter, Charli XCX, Ayesha Erotica, etc. If you're wiling to accept hip-hop leaning tracks, XIX. And for alt-rock-ish hyperpop, Dynastic.

  • Personally, no. I think nightcore and slowed-with-reverb "mixes" are cheap bastardizations of the original piece of art; typically cranked out by tweens who just got their hands on Audacity. Or maybe I'm just an asshole 😂

    • How can I convert my music?

    Jump

  • If you are a Mac users (which I am assuming yes based on your preference toward AAC), the program Pine Player does an excellent job with batch conversion. Otherwise FFMPEG is probably acceptable as well.

    • Best way to run a Linux VM(s) on intel MacOS?

    Jump

  • VMWare offers free personal licenses, and it's one of the best VM solutions imo

    • Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)

  • I do wish APT supported installing certain packages locally. Other than that, I'm more likely to use it than Snap/Flatpak/etc

    • I like this significantly better than Mastodon

  • This! I’m glad to see many tech-minded folks on Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same neckbeard self-importance that Reddit seems to be known for
