  • I’m really really REALLY excited for boost for Lemmy. Def going to full purchase. I’ve been using Connect in the meantime which I also really enjoy using

    I still have boost for reddit installed lol but I made sure to donate on multiple occasions before I inevitably stopped using the app. I tried all the apps, but I loved boost the most


  • 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














  • Thank you for sharing! Now I will know where to look for something like this. I thought that if I had written it, it would be valid given that I am actually trying to inform or discuss (whether they’re still accurate). I can see how it’s kind of a weird line, but then again I didn’t know what else to do as I explained in this post and it was only like 4 or 5 posts. I probably could’ve gotten away with it if I didn’t post them the same day, but maybe not

    Related - I hope that’s just a 3d ban, not permanent, right? If I read that correctly

    A gameguides community is a good idea, someone else mentioned that. I just don’t want to create that if I can’t commit to maintaining it :/

    I’m considering throwing them into !archive@lemmyworld like someone suggested. Should I xpost into c/games or is that a bad idea? (due to 1. my first reposts being deleted then banned for 3d, and 2. the guides being not necessarily still accurate). I also might condense the 3 Control guides into 1 post, since I’d be linking them to google docs, there will be a lot more space to work with






  • 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
