… oh. Never mind, thanks, haha.

It’d rock to see a Windows equivalent!

Bitcoin and silver are the best assets if you just wanna sit on something that’s zero-maintenance.

Man, 100% agreed. Devs didn’t think about EOL at the time, but hopefully someone will implement this at some point because environmentalism has been growing bigger than ever.

Surprisingly, even for interactive screen-mirroring, there is still generally only scrcpy—which is even used by giants like SideQuest for Meta Quest VR headsets (since they’re Droids). Previously there was Vysor.io, but that’s closed-source and for-profit.

Anyway, this totally reminded me that I once really tried to look into this but found that the only solution in the entire known English-speaking world for this is currently the closed-source, freemium Spacedesk + a rooted tablet. I gave up because at the time I didn’t wanna try to root the tablet due to the mandatory factory reset, but I eventually caved in to install Kotatsu lol. Haven’t retried…

Ha, you wouldn’t want that attempt; with my programming skills, I’d only mess up the game!

Interesting. I wish Hangman would tell you what your missed word at the end was, though.

Dang. There’s gotta be some way around this… Hmm… I suppose a fork would be needed, though, as an archival tool would probably be too much…

You shouldn’t be navigating by mouse in the first place, though. Either of these methods works:

• Use Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab/Ctrl+PgUp or PgDn
• Type "% " in the omnibar (note the space) and start typing any part of the name of the tab you want to jump to (like the name of the video), then hit Tab and then Enter

You can use AutoHotkey or some other tool on your OS of choice to map these to more ergonomic alternatives if that may be easier (for example, I mapped Ctrl+Q to "Ctrl+L, % " to invoke the second way automatically). I can help with AutoHotkey code if you’d like, in !ahk@programming.dev.

If you have that many tabs that it’s difficult to avoid the buttons, then you may like this second method anyway, since that tab-jumping method makes it totally needless to visually track which tabs are where in the tab strip. You could have a hundred tabs and not know where they are; just use "% " and part of the tab’s name to jump to it.

TL;DR: I couldn’t figured out how to hide those interactive buttons either, haha.

Whoa, yeah, F-Droid is perhaps the biggest FOSS Android app market, an alternative to the Play Store. I suggest navigating through it using Droid-ify. Enable visibility of all repositories in the top-right corner to be able to see more apps. Even Bitwarden has an official presence in F-Droid to accommodate Play Store avoiders, etc.

If you’re an Android user: scroll through F-Droid, download interesting apps, and then hunt for problems or try to come up with interesting, helpful features. For example, I could really use a live stopwatch widget in: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

Or to be specific as of late, “MuseScore Studio.” There have been… a lot of company changes over the past 2 years…

Wow, fascinating!!! I don’t know how I couldn’t find any tool like this! Thanks, this may be a game changer!

AutoHotkey, it’s navigation through programs by hotkey-invoked series of smart, self-changing mouse clicks and keystrokes, though it can also do math and launch programs or put the focus on windows in specific ways. For example, I have a dynamic, template-based, weekly, ~60-slide PowerPoint builder whose clicks and keystrokes change across the screen depending on what the content is. One AHK GUI I built lets you specify how to proceed using a base template I made + a spreadsheet with data from week to week.

I also have a URL-cleaning script that deletes all my known trackers when pasting, does URL-decoding, etc. AHK can even check for images on screen and click them or wait to proceed (like wait for the browser to finish loading before taking action, etc.). I’ve got a bunch of various scripts and have not found any cross-platform tool as remotely as easy + capable.

However, thanks to your post and another Lemmy denizen, I now know of SikuliX! I’ll check that out…

I’ve been wanting to try to leave Windows for Linux, but I just can’t find a replacement for AutoHotkey that can do everything that it can. It would have to be some kind of weird combination of various Python libraries, AutoKey, and Espanso, and even then it’s either not as easy or downright convoluted at best.

I also can’t find any FOSS image editor that can do this.

Android is open-source, I thought.

“If they knew better, they’d do better.”

That makes sense. The extent of my desktop-publishing work has typically involved bifold programs, so I use LibreOffice Writer’s “brochure”-printing mode (which automatically sets every 4 pages as double-sided quarters of 1 sheet) because I can’t stand how bad element selection in MS Publisher is. I’ve never used InDesign and want to avoid Adobe as much as possible since my org is already neck-deep in Microsoft’s subscriptions as it is.

Don’t get me wrong; Scribus can clearly make a lot of beautiful stuff. I just can’t even start to figure it out; I gotta find video tutorials or something.

Thanks, I had tried Scribus for something unrelated to this, but found it to be horribly counterintuitive in terms of how to even get started. I think it had a major update somewhat recently so I suppose I could retry it…

I was just thinking of exploring that, yeah! Thanks for the nudge. “Parasites” is certainly an interesting word to appear on that webpage…

Fine, I edited it into the post. Still, OCR fails miserably at sheet music in my experience. These files are a mix of people scanning papers and PDFs coming directly from file-download websites. I can’t have a single mistake from an OCR converter in my line of work.
