Yeah, that's what I did with the qmk command line utility on windows...
I am new to qmk and custom keyboards so it's been confusing so far.
I'll try recompiling with another layout.

Hmmm, that's good to know. I'll check that out with a multimeter.
I was wondering what type of network cable the keeb supports while building it.
Networking cables can either be straight or crossover. I believe 2 pairs are affected by this difference, maybe that's where the issue comes from?
edit: just checked and I have a straight cable.

Thanks! I got the cheapest XDA caps that looked fine on Amazon. I believe they are called 'Aerospace Appolo'. They are just decent; the print is not well aligned on some keys.

It would make the web UI look better to me.
I sometimes just don't know where to look for things and when I see a circle with a picture I know the text on the right is a username. Also helps with reading comments if the colors are different...
An alternative would be to give me the choice to hide all PFPs to make the UI homogeneous...

Maybe communities could set, voluntarily, some sort of tags that can be subscribed to or used for search.
With that idea, cat memes, cat owners, cat pictures, etc. could all be viewed together if they include a #cat tag, regrouping them, but without a hierarchy.

I've had some thoughts pop up when reading the post and your reply.
So beehaw said this may be temporary... But I can't help to wonder what that means.
Let's say lemmy.world closes registrations and beehaw refederates. Are they going to be flooded with all the posts that happened while we were defederated?
The amount of stuff suddenly appearing everywhere would be unmoderatable, and if I'm not wrong, it also kind of makes defederation permanent if it goes on for too long. Who would want to refederate instances and tsunami their own with things they don't know about?

I've been doing too much thinking about thinking lately... To avoid thinking about thinking later. So far, it didn't accomplish much.

The folder notes plugin is new to me and it's neat. I'll play with it. Thanks!

I have ADHD and I'm trying to find a balance between structure and maintenance requirements.

Ooooh that's interesting!
I like the idea of using something like omnivore to import text and have dataview sort it automatically in a MOC.
I'll definitely look into that, thanks.

I've browsed some of beehaw's communities last night and there was a lot of terrible posts from outside being made there.
My guess is they fear defederated users from bad instances making throwaway accounts on lemmy.world to troll them from here and circumvent moderation.
I understand why they did that, but it seems very extreme and shows shortcomings in lemmy's moderation tools.
We are now tainted by the unhinged.
I don't know how I feel about this since there's no real good answer...
Maybe lemmy.world should limit sign-ups, but that could be seen as being coerced by beehaw and give them political power they don't deserve.
Something better would be to have community-level moderation tools and also tools for instances to limit interaction instead of outright nuking it. Lemmy needs more development quickly or it may suffocate.

Sorry for using acronyms; I hate when people do that and I just did...

MOC stands for Map of Content if I'm not wrong.
From what I understand, MOCs are notes that contain a table of contents that links to other notes.
You can open such a note to quickly access other notes by clicking on the links in it.

LYT stands for Linking Your Thinking.
It's just marketing for Nick Milo's way of organizing obsidian vaults.
He's an entrepreneur that teaches his organizational techniques.
He uses MOCs among other things, but I'm having trouble understanding his implementation.

I really like obsidian and use it even though I usually prefer FOSS tools. It just suits my needs perfectly at the moment.
Having the markdown files on my drive is the primary reason I don't stress over it too much.
I'll probably start using Zettlr if it improves significantly or if I feel betrayed by Obsidian.

It definitely is an interesting and there might be some merit to it. I'm just worried. Let's say I post in lemmygrad for any reason and then comment something unrelated and neutral on a beehaw post. Will I be silenced because of that first instance's bad reputation? Maybe I'm thinking too much.
