The Gemini protocol, a lighter alternative to the web's HTTP in c/[email protected]

Because it was designed on purpose to not even have the ability to be enshittified. No scripting engine, on purpose -- no popup ads. No cookies, no tracking.

Things that were originally thought as good things to add to the browser in retrospect have been abused so much, it's better to not have them available for mis-use.

Too bad the settlement won't bankrupt him (Murdoch).

Good. Even decorum must have its limits. Call out the intolerable for what it is.

Oh, I don't deny they have their place. I just hope that these don't become the only or 'default' way Linux apps are packaged by major distros.

"Still one of the best sounding synthesizers. Not best-sounding analog, digital, software, etc... just best sounding, period.

This track of mine is all Virus except for the drums."

Idea: MCU/parts swap or school donation postings? (self.microcontroller)

submitted 2 years ago by Arghblarg to c/microcontroller

Hi, just found this community. The inaugural post here showing a desk top full of miscellaneous boards reminded me of the random bits I have in boxes, stored away and not being hacked on like they should be :/

I wonder if there would be interest here in a sort of swap-by-mail thing where we post boards or parts we feel bad about not using and swap them for other things, that we might want to use instead.. maybe an MCU dev kit for some sensors, or a even box of nice cookies if the hacking spirit is snoozing right now (as it is for me -- so many other things in life to do at the moment...)

I find it actually harder to focus on doing a project because there are too many bits in my boxes sometimes.

I think the idea of donating bits to schools for students to use would be cool as well, but haven't looked into it much (would they get used? Which schools have good programs with teachers that could actually use donations?)

List of my subscribed communities? (self.jerboa)

Hi, I like Jerboa so far, new user. One thing I miss from the desktop lemmy UI is a way to see all my subscriptions (of 'favourites') in a list, to quickly tap and jump to a particular one. Is this somewhere hidden in the current UI, or an upcoming feature?

Thanks, I appreciate the work!

The legendary Access Virus synthesizer is the pinnacle of Virtual Analog synthesizers, emulating analog at a precision unmatched by other VAs, and going further than any analog can with its ‘Total Integration’ series.

The Access Virus is used by artists such as Butch Vig, Hans Zimmer, Deadmau5, Deftones, Dr. Dre, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Stevie Wonder, Tool, Depeche Mode, Dido, Gary Numan, Paul Oakenfold, Radiohead, and Pet Shop Boys, as well as many notable others.

Please post anything Virus-related, such as news, questions, tips and techniques, videos, interviews, etc. (Or your own music of course!)
