Sorry about that! I checked and the cookies are hardcoded to last 7 days, so it’s weird that you’re getting logged out more often than that.

Please send me a DM if the problem persists!

We’ve refederated! :)

Done!

Yeah, let me do it.

Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the “Notes” app. It doesn’t work as a general text input for applications.

It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.

Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.

I haven’t played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I’ll report back.

I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It’s an eReader with an eink display, but it’s an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it’s an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.

Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.

So sad that we solved the problem of knowledge scarcity, and because of greed we need to add it back artificially.

I thought the same. Definitely the same vibe.

There’s was a scanner app that I loved, for Android. Turned into a subscription, even though most people use it less than once a month and even though the app was basically complete and never got updates.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

From what I understood, since we had people on lemmy.studio that subscribed to the instances in lemmy.world where the CSAM was posted, if any of those people saw the posts accidentally the images would be copied automatically to lemmy.studio. After that incident there were a few more where people where posting CSAM to lemmy.world, which is why I decided to defederate.

Lemy 0.19 is coming out soon, when I upgrade I’ll check what the status of pict-rs and if we can federate again.

Singular they has been used for something like 7 centuries.

There’s a big conflict of interest in dating apps: if you’re successful you stop using the app, and of course the company doesn’t want that.

That’s the plan! From what I understand there are some upcoming changes to pict-rs in 0.5 that should prevent this from happening (images getting copied to our instance). I’m just waiting for that. Sorry for the trouble, but we had another similar incident recently.

Yeah, I want to read it again! Maybe when I’m retired! 🙂

Gödel, Escher, Bach. I was only able to read the whole thing because I was in a ship for a month without TV or internet.

I signed up for a 2-hour Ableton class that was being offered at work. Not sure why, it just caught my attention. I was amazed by how the instructor could write a cool song in just a couple minutes! I had no idea that was possible.

That’s how I started, I bought Ableton and a small MIDI keyboard. Followed tutorials on YouTube and started writing a song every week for the song-a-week subreddit. I took a few online classes on music production and kept learning.

A few things that clicked for me:

• I don’t have to do EDM just because I’m using Ableton and all the YouTube tutorials are about EDM. I can make ambient.
• Notes sound better when they’re not quantized.
• There are no wrong notes to play.
• Finishing songs is really important.
