Nova Launcher, KWGT widgets, gold leaf icon pack

I change my wallpaper like once a week but this is what I have on now

Kind of a typical response, but my android’s custom os. I think the OnePlus 8t is fantastic, BUT specifically thinking of the custom rom (Nameless13) I installed on it to replace OOS

I’m not that old, but I still came from flip phones and nokias, so the amount of evolution is incredible

I like this custom rom so much because as a tech savvy user, I can have it do whatever I want. It has an insane amount of QOL features, fantastic support team, better battery life, better responsiveness and energy usage, frequent and reliable updates, devs pushing out good features that users actually want, no bloatware ads or BS, a ridiculous amount of options and customization, and full control. The only single drawback was the stress and effort of learning how to install a custom rom, but it felt extremely rewarding and as someone in IT, it’s something good to learn. Plus having super nice and helpful support team and users both, made it way easier

Oh I had no idea! That sounds really nice. I don’t really know what front end means exactly, but is a good comparison betterdiscord vs. discord?

Also you mention that it never talks to twitter, but I’m curious does it still pull data from twitter? Like your account and who you follow

I had no idea about this and haven’t heard of it before. Thanks for the info!

Is Nitter just the twitter of the fediverse? I can’t subscribe to real-debrid’s Nitter content, on Lemmy, can I?

Thanks for the reply. I just looked into VIAL, is it overly complex? I just want to avoid more complications or problems. Is your suggestion for this just to allow me to customize the knobs better? Or do you have other reasons that I should switch? Cause it turns out that I do still have the FN issue

We took the keyboard apart (which took ages, so I want to avoid having to do that again lol, though I guess that’s part of the whole custom keyboard deal), and fixed the stabilizer. But then that created clacking from the left side of the backspace, so something was hitting, I managed to fix that mostly (good enough) without taking the keyboard back apart

I also learned that the GMMK Numpad comes with north facing PCB for some reason, but the I found that they sold their own south facing PCB which I was glad to hear. We started taking it apart, and one of the screws stripped sooo bad that it took us the whole night to figure out how to get that damn thing out. We ended up drilling it out (I don’t know the details, my partner is an engineer so he figured it out) so thank god that’s done, but just another complication that came up

Seems like nothing is ever easy when you buy anything now

edit: Forgot to mention, someone else (last comment by u/trash@lemm.ee) mentioned using vial with QMK - Is this what you did? My concern is that since my numpad is external, it’ll make this a lot more complicated and tedious because then I’ll have 2 separate devices, and one is supposed to be working wirelessly. I just want simple, but maybe that’s not an option in my case. Maybe I’ll just deal with the software until it’s not meeting expectations anymore

It feels nice and warm, that’s for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

Semi-related… You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we’re still growing and I’m just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol

I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it’s more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the “end answer” with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

That’s why, I personally think AI search engine won’t be the best all-rounder for all types of information that’s not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn’t work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better

I’ll check those out - thanks! Oohhh, I had no idea torrentio had a setting with a limit. I’ll make sure that’s set correctly as well

Sorry for the wall - In my opinion and experience, it certainly can be. And considering how flawless the action combat is, I think just the pure enjoyment from that is more worth it than people give credit for - at least giving it a chance. I originally played from 2013-2016 and then returned again from 2020-2022. The catch up was extremely easy (they handed out gear packages for the “base new content”, but I was already level 80 so the tedious leveling was already done)

When I came back, I had actually played some of the new characters as alts for fun, so I started from level 0 - then took them all to 70-80, and some 85-90. So I got a taste of how leveling was

This is also in the guide, but there is quite a lot you can do that adds up to help leveling go pretty damn quick. It’s very brainless and easy though, no challenge - so I understand how it could be difficult for anyone to go through that. Just a guess, I think it took me like 10 hours max to get to 80?

Since the RISE update, 0-60 (or 70 or 80?) became the new “tutorial”

I’m not sure I understand what you mean about undodgable damage sources all over the place. I don’t recall anything being super difficult except for Redeemers, which are already way more forgiving than mechs in Lost Ark. I had a lot of fun in and don’t particularly remember current raids being bullshit, except for the tiny ass hitbox bitches for my xgun Kai lol

edit: took out some rambling :)

Okay that makes sense, I see now. When I selected the show, it kind of looked like 9-14 were available on torrentio, but 15 wasn’t yet. I’ll just check imbd if I need to find out for sure :)

I honestly have no idea what that means and a google search didn’t get me very far :/ Trying to not use reddit either, but I gave in once again

It’s supposedly “STM32F303” ?

But also, apparently:

For this keyboard you don’t need to select the matching MCU. Flashing will work with anything selected. See https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/issues/108.

Thanks for the reply, that actually blows since there’s a few super populated subs over there that I’m part of. I suppose I’ll leave those and try to find a different one in an instance that’s federated with lemmy.world

I didn’t know that beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world. Can you ELI5 what this means for us?

I just migrated to lemmy.world , and I had quite a few beehaw community subscriptions. How does it affect my interaction?

I completely understand and respect your opinion, but I just disagree on a personal level - and I think there is a very valid compromise to still achieve this, by redirection. It would obviously suck a lot for people who just want to find information, so they can still get it. Just take them away from reddit

Like most of us probably, I exclusively used reddit for finding information about literally anything. Google search algorithm is straight hot garbage it’s embarrassing lol

If we want other non-corporate owned thread-like platforms to be successful and for reddit to “not get away with this” I personally think this has to be done. Otherwise it’s just still a free database of information that we as the users provided for free, and reddit will continue to profit off of. It’s my personal stance on it, but I think it’s not right, and I believe the extreme majority of people either won’t or won’t know how to use reddit as a search engine without giving them profits

My solution is to rewrite all of my comments, but for anything that I provided a solution for (or guide), I will redirect them to the same information, but not on reddit. For example, I wrote a full blown returning player guide (like 18 pages) for the game Vindictus, so I’m moving it to google docs. I will inform the discord, in addition to linking the google doc on the reddit OP, and possibly also reference a Lemmy post, give insightful information, etc

Most of my comments though are just discussions though, not many fixes or solutions. So that’s what I’m planning on doing
