What would be an example of that combination?
Something like Logitech K580. The keys are a bit tight with each other, but they have almost all those keys independently.
I like your comment. Reasonable feedback to recommend logitech K650 fits nicely into my needs. Going to explore if there are more choice just like this keyboard.
Thanks for your insight. Gonna avoid the G keys Logitech keyboard.
What keyboard you recommend for coding?
Most keyboard reviews are about gaming. Can any of you recommend a good keyboard for coding/programming?
Here's some criteria for selecting the keyboard:
- Comfortable keys, easy to click and write coding quickly
- Must be a bluetooth keyboard
- Prefer using replaceable batteries instead of charging port
- Full keyboard keys including function keys, arrow keys and numpad
- Size can be compact or full-sized
- Doesn't matter if back-lit or not
- Doesn't matter if loud or quiet clicks
- Budget around USD 50
Do you still write notes with pen and paper?
With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.
So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?
Facebook being the most expensive property, still valid to this day. Not true for Twitter anymore though.
Happened to me too. Who's the dumb government vendor doing these applications?
You wouldn't know if they hash it or not.
User Backup and Migration Tool
Lemmy devs, please share if you built any tool that backup a single user's Lemmy account, settings, subscriptions - then can migrate or restore the account as new into other instance. This tool will be used by the user themselves, not by the instance admin.
Can we migrate a user's post and comments to another instance? Maybe like a bulk posting as new posts.
Infuriating Password Policies
This is a rant about dumb password policies enforced by some websites or apps. If you see these password rules forced to you, try to stay away if possible.
Can't use special characters, or use a pre-defined special characters only
Are you storing the password in plaintext that your database will break when have special characters?
Password can't be longer than X characters
Most probably storing the password in plaintext and their database column is limited to those characters limit.
Password expire every X months, without notice, suddenly can't login. Reset it and can't use the last 5 passwords
They store your previous passwords, either encrypted or plaintext.
Now that you mentioned it, I wonder how many kids are using Lemmy. What attracted you to be here?
I'm not sure so just going to throw around some ideas for you. Maybe you can try sell on E-Commerce website, Shopify, Etsy or even on Amazon. Pick a product that you know well and can source the supplier easily. Add some value to the base product and sell under your brand.
If you not keen on dealing with people, try sell products that can't be returned or have low return/exchange probability.
There's also a dropshipping business where you don't keep any stock or even ship it out. Just get the customers and place the order for them.
Yeah, I didn't thought this could get so many feedback. It's sort of my first real topic starter on Lemmy.
If you are non-tech, what kind of business you like to do? Brick & mortar style or entirely online business?
Is there a small business community on Lemmy?
Username checks out!
Almost can't click subscribe if community description lengthy
As per subject and image
If the description is longer, I couldn't click the subscribe button and the area is not scrollable or expandable.
I was assuming that tech background is someone that can work around IT things, such as even building your own PC or setup own Plex. You don't necessarily need to know how to code to be considered a tech person.
But as we can see in the comments, some people don't think they are tech person or tech savvy enough while have some IT / technical knowledge.
Airplanes tech is designed easy to use for the pilot. You wouldn't want to debug an error during a flight mid-air.
Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?
Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.
That's a diverse career change!
We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!
I think if you can troubleshoot your own built PC, that's pretty much a tech person, even though you can't code.
Sure, we can do that. But it's not a strict rule, anyone can comment too, anywhere.
How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.
If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
I think this is due to recent upgrade. Logout from the app and login back fixed for me. Also check if your home instance has upgraded to latest version.
Sometimes you may want to comment on a topic that you subscribed under different account / instance. We can comment on any topic, not just from subscribed communities.
Switch account when commenting
For now we need to switch instance when viewing the topic, then only can comment using the desired account. Would be great to switch account when writing the comment itself.
Support for read status
It seems Liftoff does not yet support Lemmy read status. There's also no settings to hide read topics.
However I found that if I read a topic using Jerboa (with read posts will be hidden afterwards), it will be hidden on Liftoff. While reading any topics on Liftoff won't hide it when viewing from Jerboa.
Does Lemmy protocol have read status?
I only found the Connect app able to hide read topics, while Jerboa and Liftoff does not have this feature. Is read status built-in into Lemmy protocol?
Why search need to choose instance?
Can you make it a universal search bar? Without need to select an instance.
Can I use Mastodon account to login Lemmy?
I have seen some users commenting on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. I tried to login Lemmy using my Mastodon account (on the web) and it didn't work, like account not found, maybe it tries to locate the Lemmy instance account.
I have tried to do this on Jerboa, Thunder and Liftoff too and still couldn't work.
