managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...

ahh yeah, i heard nvidia can be a pain in the ass with sway/wayland. did you try sway when you still needed the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag lol?

but i remember reading about some new driver that made things much better... no idea though i've always been on intel-only laptops

mixes dpi

never had any issues with that. although i don't think i even have anything going through xwayland at this point

apps to interact with ppl

zoom? or something electron-based?

xcape

i don't know the tool, but the readme sounds like evdoublebind might work, it's rock solid for me, replacing caps lock with escape on tap/alt om hold

screensharing

i feel you. when i started out with sway i had this horrible hack running a vnc server and a x11 vnc client on the same machine because pre-pipewire browsers could only share x11 windows haha

but nowadays that works really well. only zoom is still a little annoying ux wise. sometimes their screenshare popup just disappears leaving me with no way to stop a share gracefully.

sway + bemenu for building my own utilities

btw what distro are my fellow sway users on? i'm loving the control i get over what i install with gentoo

how is everyone interacting with audio, networking, bluetooth?

I sometimes use termux to edit stuff on a remote box via ssh and I haven't had that kind of issue

for the most part just the fact that SSH as a protocol is not super reliable on a (sometimes) spotty wifi/mobile connection (this could be solved with something like mosh)

the other big thing is using vim with the android keyboard. which is just a major pain haha

let's please just call them "communities"

the ssh client breaks the format

could you elaborate what you were doing here? like vim on the server via ssh tunnel?

is forgeign-toplevel-list related/analogous to wlr-foreign-toplevel-management?

[–] gkpy@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

same here. saw this error at first and then just a generic "error trying to post, try again". could not get it to work... posting via my instance's webui worked, but only after selecting a post language. is that something communities/instances can enforce?

being a pessimist here for a second:

once this reaches a more mature stage, there will be somebody claiming it would be used when selling drugs or other illegal activities and those privacy concerns will go out the window :/

aber ne fette EM fanmeile für 60 mio ist trotzdem drin
