I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don’t know of any other Moes.

Thanks! So far it’s really really good and everything works (the WM is so nice), except I can’t use HDMI from my laptop which might be a show stopper :-/

Ah ok, now I understand … though it’s not something that I’d get excited about I’m glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)

Apparently it already has the stuff I use, so full steam ahead for me! :-)

So, there’s another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I’m going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively … if it recognises my old laptop’s WiFi I’ll try it on a longer term basis :-)

Have I missed something? I’m writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy

Try Haiku, it’s the current open source version of BeOs (currently on it’s 4th Beta release) and it runs on x86 hardware.

Or what about just using a bare bones Linux as a wrapper for an emulator? Then you could try running something like Workbench 3.9 or MacOS 9, which makes browsing the web an interesting experience … plus, cute icons :-)

That’s a shame, though being in the EU I wonder how much they’re legally allowed to keep.

I guess I should make better use of my Proton mail account

Headset, as in headphones with a microphone. I use it for MS Teams meetings and a bit of music and it works fine.

The point OP was trying to make is that you can use USB-c for other things besides listening to music.

Since you seem to be an audiophile with a list of fancy headphones (don’t ask me, my Cardo combined with earplugs is fine for the level of listening I want to do) then wouldn’t an offboard DAC / amp that you could keep far longer than a phone, and isn’t restricted by size constraints going to be better than a built-in version?

Also, if you’re worried about e-waste maybe you shouldn’t buy so many headphones. My partner’s Sennheisers have lasted 20 years so far.

I very much like this idea, would be nice to be able to use a phone in more of a mini-computer manner, whereas at the moment they’re somewhat hamstrung.

I’m always surprised phone docks aren’t a thing, my work laptop has a USB-c dock that is bristling with ports that are useful.

a) I have a USB-c headset at work

b) the 3.5mm headphone jack can’t be used to transfer data (at a good rate)

Laugh all you like, I’ve had the same AOL email address since 1997 and haven’t had problems with leaked information or spam. It doesn’t cost me anything, so I’m just going to carry on using it.

Thank you!

This is probably a project for the winter when I’m literally snowed under instead of figuratively, plus I’m going on a little motorbike adventure in September so it would be nice to get a bit of useable video then to try it with too (using my old GoPro 1 clone)

Dirtbike handlebars, I don’t want my usual phone in a risky position. It runs off a USB socket from the bike’s electrics and I hotspot data from my regular phone.

I also have a Garmin Montana, but that’s quite big and bulky and overkill just to see where I am when I get lost.

I still use my HTC Android 1.2 phone for Google maps sometimes, some people will be out there still using them … I’m guessing it’s an old enough version that the still active devices are serviceable and well built.

Thank you, I’ll have to give it a go - some of them have a constant vibration on account of having been mounted on a motorbike, others are just a little unstable

Does anyone know of a FOSS video stabilization program that works without gyro data?

I have some old videos with vibration that would be great with a little smoothing out!

Not that I know of? I have Connect and Liftoff for Lemmy running fine, Tomb Raider Go and Pocket Rally work nicely, Firefox is supported, etc etc. I have a HTC with Android 1.2 on it that I use for Google Maps, which works better than the Android 7 phone, so I’m not entirely convinced that new is always better, lol

This got me wondering what I’m using … apparently it’s a Moto G5s with Android 7?

I like it because it didn’t come loaded with extra software, it was cheap (80€ in 2019) and it’s got a nice camera. In a few years I might think about replacing it, in which case I’d like something a bit smaller.

I’ve got a tablet too, which is a Lenovo that fell off the back of a lorry in Hungary and my MIL bought it for me for the equivalent of 30€. It works well too, I think it’s got Android 8 on it.
