Mozilla be like:
  • We used to joke in 2010s: what is Internet Explorer? It's a program that is used to download a browser.

    Nowadays, what is Mozilla Firefox? It's a repository you fork to make a browser.

  • Any good Telegram alternative?
  • I know that habit of using messenger app for notes :) Try [matrix] using Element or SchildiChat. It's e2eencrypted and federated, and even supports markdown formatting in messages. Also some Slack features are included. The only issue for non-techy person might be verifying sessions - just be sure to use the same client on all devices.

  • What learning resources would you recommend to a beginner?
  • Check out "Keys to Drawing" book by Bert Dodson. It gives a good versatile introduction without unnecessary 'academic drawing' pressure.

  • How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?
  • Yeah, actually it also has a HTTP server, in case you need to transfer something big one way and don't want to bother with FTP connection

  • How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?
  • If by wirelessly you mean via Wi-Fi network then one convenient option is qrcp. It generates a QR-code right in your terminal, which you can scan with a phone and send/receive files through a web interface on the URL it provides.

    If you want to transfer files regularly, there is another option. Almost every distro has Python installed, and the Python has a "built-in" FTP server. You need to just cd into desired directory and run the command python -m pyftpdlib -w. It will open a FTP server with root in this directory. You then can access it through a file manager, like Material Files for example, and send files and folders back and forth. In Material Files you can save the server address for future use.

  • I'm glad I didn't sit by and deleted all my posts and comments.

    "So you think you can tell Arial from Helvetica?"
  • Helvetica has its very distinctive soulless and dense corporate look. Arial is the same but diluted, like some instant coffee.

  • + for percussionist :)

  • Caption This
  • #helmet {
      margin-left: 0;
    }
    
  • [Feedback] New logo for the profile without pic
  • I'd recommend making a circle stroke width equal to head's stroke width, like in original icon. Other than that it's perfect substitute imo

  • Remember when they'd send you these for free?
  • Nostalgic! Ordered 5 of these at the time and distributed among the good people :)

  • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?
  • SensMe in Sony and Sony-Ericsson phones and players. It was the tool that analyzed your music collection and sorted it according to energy, mood and tempo.

    The best variant was on the later products whey you had a list of channels representing either moods/styles (Energetic, Emotional, Lounge, Dance etc.) or time of the day (from 'Morning' to 'Midnight'). The results were very good, especially for the time channels (except the morning) which were perfectly fitting the mood and pace of times of the day, much like Indian ragas. It really felt like your personal radio stations, freeing you from having to make playlists by yourself ever again...

    It was discontinued in 2010s because of declared low adoption by users according to some obscure internal studies :( I've been dreaming of replicating it using Python ever since, but never had time to do a proper research.

  • Lemmy in orbit [OC]
  • Usually yes, but this time devs explicitly suggested raster format and provided some illustrations in similar style as a reference. Although they ended up selecting vectorish variant anyway so never mind :)

  • Lemmy in orbit [OC]
  • Thanks! It's really hard to stop adding details when it's a painting instead of a vector 😄

  • Lemmy in orbit [OC]
  • Thanks!

    A small illustration resulted from attempt to make an icon for the Voyager app. Thought it would fit here. Any feedback appreciated.
