Show of your creativity with #Krita!
  • you can become an artist! pick up a pencil/pen and a piece of paper, start drawing! it'll suck at first, but it'll get better with time. look up some tutorials, ask a friend to teach you or pay for a in-person tutor if you have someone like that near you. you've got this!

  • MacOS -> Linux: BetterTouchTool replacement
  • probably off topic, but i never understand people who actually use a trackpad, as i find them horrible to use and carry around a bt mouse w my notebook so i don't have to use the trackpad. if you have the time, could you please explain a bit why you personally use it? Thanks!

  • Trolley problem
  • why would you wanna kill the programming language commitees.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • There's a great yt channel which has inkscape tutorials called Logos by Nick

  • Elisa: Simple music player aiming to provide a nice experience for its users. [Android and Desktop]
  • This came pre-installed on fedora kde spin, and i really tried to like it.But it couldn't, it just didn't work intuitively, kept freezing, options were missing,... Right now i'm using audacious, and I like it a lot. Still a big fan of KDE's stuff, for example, i love the Haruna media player <3

  • Looks like the donation notification is working.
  • i'm fine with any donation notifications, even on by default, if they can be disabled.

  • Recommend me good e-reader
  • i have a pocketbook touch lux 4 and a boox page. both are good at their own thing: the book trades a bit of battery life and a higher price for being able to run any android app like tachiyomi, etc.
    my recommendation is look through what e-readers are supported by koreader, the best e-reading app, and also, get something with physical page turn buttons and enough/expandable storage.

  • What's your favorite ice cream/gelato flavor?
  • lemon. always lemon. if i get more than 1 scoop, then salted caramel or something with chocolate (like bounty, snickers, oreo, crunchy, dark chocolate, etc)

  • Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
  • no, not really. i kinda quit social media in the sense that i no longer use reddit, instagram, twitter or snap. they were all just too addicting. i log into lemmy once in a while, to see what's new, since there are some nice niche linux related communities, but apart from that i'm only on youtube (when i'm eating) or on discord (few small-ish servers). i don't really care much for news or polictics, and if i really need to know what's going on, i check the front page of wikipedia or ask my friends. i'm still struggling with using my phone more that i'd like, but this week i took a break from discord and youtube, with mixed results so far (see: i'm on lemmy), but overall it's been really freeing to not be on them and have a bunch more free time.

  • Do You Like Working Under Pressure
  • there was a similar question/joke related to Logic (the rapper): Can you preform Under Pressure? No, but i'm pretty good at Gang Related.

  • Had to dig under my foundation. What should I put in the whole when they fill it in?
  • fill it with sunflower seeds and glue, like those chinese brainrot videos

  • What is your directory structure like for programming?
  • i use coding/languagename/project, where most if not all projects are git repos. so, coding/python/shira, coding/java/datetime examples i have some wildcards for the languages, most of my serverside js stuff lives in coding/node-deno and most of my fullstack webdev stuff lives in coding/webdev

    i used to have the coding directory on a hdd, but moving it to an ssd helped a lot when installing things made with node, among other things.

  • NewPipe is now available on Flathub
  • super scuffed due to translation layer. wait for kotlin rewrite and hope for multiplatform

  • What spider is this ?
  • can yall stop posting your fucking r/whatisthisbug ass posts to asklemmy? make a new community or something.

  • How do I stop slef sabotage and procrastination?
  • this sounds absolutely wonderful. I need to go camping alone sometime.

  • Is there any good, free search engine left?
  • I've been using brave search on my pc and phone for maybe 6 months now. i still use google like 10% of the time if i'm searching for something that isn't in english, but otherwise, id even say for many things brave returns better results than google

  • Happy Birthday to us 🎂🎉! KDE is 28 years old today!
  • i've switched to linux this year and kde's been a breeze to use! happy birthday and thanks for all the wonderful work!!

  • new-ish RSINOA layout

    i saw recently that there is a first algorithmically optimized layout added, RSINOA. i'm wondering:

    • is it actually good?
    • is anyone using it?
    • how much better is it than normal thumb-key english (if it is)?
    • is it worth learning it if i already know the thumb-key layout without looking at the keyboard?
    • is it in it's final state? or are big changes to the letter placement expected and i should wait before learning it?

    thanks!

    type-safe GroupBy (key) function i wrote

    i made a type-safe GroupBy function. ```typescript /**

    • Groups array of objects by a given key
    • @param arr array of objects to group
    • @param key must be present on every object, and it's values must be string|number
    • @author telepresence
    • @license CC-BY-4.0 */ function groupBy(arr: T[], key: keyof T, defaultAcc: Record = {}) { return arr.reduce((acc, val, i) => { const compValue = val[key]; if (typeof compValue !== 'string' &amp;&amp; typeof compValue !== 'number') { throw new Error(key ${key.toString()} has values other than string/number. can only group by string/number values); } if (!acc[compValue]) acc[compValue] = [] acc[compValue].push(val); return acc; }, defaultAcc); } ```
    • like lodash's groupBy, but by key and not function
      • group an array of objects which all have a key in common into an object with keys matching all the different possible values of your common key
    • type-safe, no unknown's no any's
    • does not copy arrays ([...array]), uses push
    • supports selecting by keys, where the key values are string / number (although you can easily add symbol support)
    • shared for free under the CC BY 4.0 license - only attribution is requred (link to this post is fine)
    • custom default accumulator support, if you already know the groups beforehand and would rather have an empty array than undefined.

    example: ```typescript const data = [{ "name": "jim", "color": "blue", "age": "22" }, { "name": "Sam", "color": "blue", "age": "33" }, { "name": "eddie", "color": "green", "age": "77" }];

    groupBy(data, 'color') would result into:ts { "blue": [ { "name": "jim", "color": "blue", "age": "22" }, { "name": "Sam", "color": "blue", "age": "33" } ], "green": [ { "name": "eddie", "color": "green", "age": "77" } ] } ``` TL;DR i've sucessfully wrote something using generics in typescript for the first time, and i think it's pretty epic.

    Koven Wei - EVERYTHING IS RED

    Banger i found randomly when checking the twitter of one of my favorite artists, @xyanaid. They made the album cover.

    edit: Spotify link
