@dharmik device motion event has rotation as well?
@dharmik hi dharmik, this looks good! consider putting the code on codeberg
@dharmik
Do you have installed any clipboard manager? xclip or something like it
one of the most fun moments was realizing that on macos, the delete key doesn’t actually send a delete key event in javascript but instead acts as backspace (been a windows guy most of the childhood and later fan of linux), which broke canvas element deletion. ironically, we used a mac for previews because of its good display, only to find out the canvas wasn’t working properly on it.

and i remember how great replit once was. you could just code, come up with a prototype, and share a link with anyone to try it. it was the real hacker era for people my age. there are a lot of people i follow from the peak replit days, and damn, it was a time. now they're on the ai hype train, making a service to prototype from natural language.
CatOS is an open-source,Arch-based,out-of-the-box Linux distribution designed to provide an excellent operating system user experience.CatOS is to arch what Pop!_OS is to debian/ubuntu.

Question: do I update my #Fediverse stock photo with this screenshot (it has the shortcut to #Friendica too)?
Disclaimer: Friendica & #Lemmy do not have official apps, so these are iOS shortcuts to URLs (of instances).
A reminder that this stock photo is for articles about the Fediverse, so it’s the most vanilla, KISS (Keep It Simple) version imaginable for people not familiar with the Fediverse. My *real* Fediverse folder has Ivory, Mona, Phanpy, Surf and Voyager.
Let me know your thoughts!
@_elena yes, it looks great!
@_elena I completely understand your dilemma, but it is a moving target, so your choice is correct and valid as of today. A big part of the nature of the Fediverse as I understand it is its continuous evolution. Therefore a tiny onscreen disclaimer reading „*as of 02/2025“ might be an option. Or place a marker in the video editor’s timeline to quickly find and adjust the selection when you feel it‘s time for an updated render.
@_elena Great idea! I hope it encourages people to explore other corners of the Fediverse.
@dharmik@linuxusers.in That's a third-party app, they where saying about no official app not that there are no apps for Lemmy.
@_elena
I have created an account on friendica two days ago. It is nice and promising.
One thing that I sorely miss from friendica is multifactor authentication 2FA.
IMHO it would be nice to include them, however we should ask them to implement multi-factor authentication and debug the client-side code more because I can't even easily add a photograph as an avatar
If you know how to add 2FA please tell me because I can't find it in the interface
As a client I use Raccoon
@_elena Is there official Lemmy app on Android? Can't seem to find one...
Heads-up: I updated my #Fediverse stock photo, adding #Friendica (since there have been so many discussions about it as an alternative to Facebook). Here we go: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Fediverse_smartphone_apps_%28photo_by_Elena_Rossini%29.jpg
A routine reminder that this is to illustrate articles about the Fediverse and it shows popular software as alternatives to Big Tech platforms.
special thanks to:
@matt who touched up my screenshot to improve the appearance of Friendica & Lemmy
@nacly who told me that Wikimedia Commons supports versioning

and there are people who are making it. i just got to know about the existence of are.na and river app.
i found the original maxims of style they maintained for the unix system.

it's on page 4.
there's this ios app called feeeed by the great @nate@mstdn.social, and it has to be one of the most beautiful apps ever made. the idea of rss readers is implemented perfectly, with great thought and care.

That’s pretty much it, after several months, maybe even a year of wanting to take the leap, a couple days ago I finally did it. I just wanted to share this cuz I think it’s an absolute win, and I guess just see if anyone has any general advice to keep in mind during the process. I ended up choosing Fedora, right now I’m dual booting while I’m still in the process of finding software alternatives and getting everything set up, but trying to minimize my use of windows as much as possible, and so far I’ve been loving it. I love this community and I just wanted to thank everyone that has given any advice or suggestions in the past, i’m really excited about this and grateful that I could get to this point.
Keep a cloud-synced notebook of bugs, ideas, and fixes. That way, you can help people in the future or know how to do things for yourself if you ever need to reinstall. I have notes for fixing things like my keyboard layout on GDM/SDDM or how to set up certain software in a privileged podman
container.
Yeah i keep a nextcloud synced Obsidian vault and I have a entry for fresh installing my popos system with a list of all the software I install and from where with an Obsidian link to a note of each individual software if it needs more info, like config settings of rapid photo Downloader so that my photos are always imported and named the same or how to add the repository for tabby so that it updates along with all the stuff when I do apt update
My advice having made the move (but with a fair bit of linux tinkering before hand):
The best piece of advice I was given, that I seldom see repeated is this: learn how the filesystem is structured.
It makes everything else easier
Lessons learned when switching:
Some things just work differently on Linux and it took time to figure out the differences. For instance, a change to a network interface config on Windows it usually takes effect when you hit the “OK” button. Linux requires toggling the interface for that change to take effect. That one took me a couple of frustrating hours to figure out. There are lots of other examples like this so keep it in mind if things aren’t working as you expect.
Trying to do absolutely everything on Linux right away was a mistake. I started switching back to Windows for quick tasks and then learning how to do those tasks on Linux when I could spend a few minutes figuring them out. Over time I spent more and more time running Linux and one day realized I hadn’t started Windows in months.
In addition to (or instead of) dual booting, create a virtual machine to allow you to use what you need in either OS without rebooting.
Lastly, if you find that you’re spending a lot of time fixing OS problems don’t be afraid to try something else. Haven’t spent much time with Fedora, but I use Mint daily because I don’t have to fuss with the OS much. Others in my household have more problems with Windows 11.
Before you know it, it will be over a decade post-Windows like me. This week I have been trying to get a Linux phone to a satisfactory state to leave the mobile duopoly behind…
If you play PC games (and already familiar with Fedora), check out Bazzite. The whole immutable thing is an adjustment, but I really like it.
definitely on board with bazzite for gaming computer. it seems to do well with everything else I throw at it also
I would warn against using an atomic distro for newbies that want a bit more than Internet surfing and gaming.
Handling such distros well requires specialized knowledge around them in particular, and not all common Linux solutions will fit.
It’s not a race, take your time to read and understand what is what and how things are functioning together.
Enjoy your stay, it’s going to be your next home, take care of it; make it beautiful, make it efficient, make sure to get rid of all what is irritating you.
Start with the minimum and build from there.
And, FFS, make backups ;)
I made the switch in 2010.
I dual booted for a while, one day I realised that I hadn’t booted into windows for 3 months. At that point I reinstalled, no more dual booting. I haven’t looked back.
I keep a windows VM, currently has Win10 installed, I haven’t had to use it in about 3 years.
My advice is, keep dual booting. One day you’ll realise that booting into windows feels like a chore, you haven’t done it in months, so why keep it around…
I won’t deny, it’s refreshing to see posts like these, and I’ve seen a few of them around the web. Perhaps we’re really going to slowly see some positive change in the tech world.
Good luck, @bpt11@sh.itjust.works and welcome to the community!
