I cant seem to find any information on it so I’m worried it probably won’t be, but if Voicepeak is any good at generating English, I might finally be able to go ahead with my Idea of making Programming Tutorials taught by Kasane Teto
If Distro maintainers are going to inist on making their isos bigger and bigger, they need to make sure their mirrors can handle that shit. Downloading a Kubuntu iso took 45 minutes.
The thing is new magic is flashier but fundamentally does the same you did with old magic 10 winters ago. Our crystal balls and wands have gotten more capable but to the point where the average spellcaster won't even get to make full use of them. Good thing there are independent wizards around who craft old magic style spells to this day so you can still get some use out of your old equipment. I'm using Arch Mage on an ancient ThinkOrb btw.
I miss getting a scroll from a fellow wizard which had all the runes you needed on it and it was also small enough it could fit in a pocket and if you had bad taste in music it even playered a bit of a dong as you were reading.
I just switched to a different record after they started including that egregorian nonsense on every tablet they had, not like they were useful anyways considering all the temple advertising.
I tried to get some spellcasters to switch to a different orb mage for their spells, but they're all at the same three temples of טיקטוק ,אינסטגרם, and יוטיוב to even learn how to summon the line scripture.
The commoners don't even use their crystal balls or look at the compendiums because they're all stuck on their genie lamps nowadays to know how to use a wand.
Hey fedi, so I have this cheap doohickey for using computers away from a desk. It's got a touch pad and keys and is absolutely the right solution for the problem
But it sucks. The keys start bad and if used too much stop registering reliably, the touch pad ain't great, and it keeps losing connection to the dongle despite it being like 8 feet away
Is there some kind of premium version of these that exists? So far I've only ever seen the terrible dirt cheap ones for sale anywhere
(If you don't mind plz boost for reach I am *desperate*)
EDIT: to be clear the handheld/gamepad-like form factor is what makes this work so a more traditionally keyboard shaped device with an additional trackpad isn't really a suitable replacement
It's ancient at this point, but Logitech made one called diNovo mini which I used as my couch surfing HTPC keyboard until the battery crapped out a decade later. Maybe can get as new old stock?
@BobDendry My favorite feature of the K400 is the duplicate mouse button on the upper left corner. I mouse around like a game pad, and set the whole thing on my lap when I need to type.
I wish there was a higher quality version. The keyboard has a whole has too much physical flexibility.
@LottieVixen @BobDendry I have that one as well and it works fine. It can be used as a desktop keyboard in a pinch as well. I am doing so at the moment, as a matter of fact 😅
@ElBeeToots @LottieVixen @BobDendry if the touchpad on the side is awkward, consider something like amzn.to/3YwdEPo where the touchpad is on the bottom like a laptop without a screen or internals
as for explicitly handheld stuff, there really isn't anything you can get that's amazing in that form factor. most of... least-bad ones are made by a brand called "rii", and they cap out around $40-ish
i guess amzn.to/3EknQ6O is halfway in between? trackball, not touchpad
The high end version would probably be that, a full keyboard with touchpad that can be used on your lap: logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/k400… An old and quirky solution would be to use a Xbox 360 gamepad and its keyboard. You can then combine it with some piece of software to use a gamepad as a mouse: github.com/Tylemagne/Gopher360
Gopher360 is a free zero-config app that instantly turns your Xbox 360, Xbox One, or even DualShock controller into a mouse and keyboard. Just download, run, and relax. - Tylemagne/Gopher360
@loic I was going to make the exact same suggestion. It makes a great keyboard for the gaming PC (attached to the TV) but it's also handy to grab the dongle and use it to administrate any servers
@zip @loic They make these for PS5 controllers as well, and those have a touch pad area, and I think there's PC drivers that let you use that as a mouse
@zip @loic check out remapper.org - solder 4 wires and drag a file to the Pi pico, and you have an amazing interface to that should let you translate the joystick inputs into mouse movements.
I’m not sure if I can help much, but I’ve had this “Rii” one for a few years and it works okay - but I only use it very rarely so can’t comment how reliable the keypresses are: amzn.eu/d/8vhwQ6m Got it because it has clickable roller wheel (for middle mouse click and wheel) and left/right click on the bumpers. Bluetooth and 2.4ghz dongle - range always seemed ok but nothing fantastic.
Ah, sorry. Have you considered keyboard additions to gamepads? There are addons for DS4 (not sure) and DS5 controllers and they themselves come with touchpads, which can act like a mouse pointer.
@0x0961h the xbox series x|s controller+chatpad is decent build quality and relatively straightforward to attach to a windows machine via bluetooth. never tried to use it outside of a game/as primary input though.
I used to use the Logitec Keyboard with touchpad for my TV PC. It was ok, but did not spark joy. Using the touchpad after a hard day gave me tennis elbow. Now I'm with an air mouse that is also a rudimentary IR remote and has a mini keyboard on the back side.

@flxtr It essentially has an accelerometer and estimates where you're "pointing" at the screen by observing the movements of the device in 3D space. You'd use it kind of like a Wiimote but without a receiver.
(The estimation is surprisingly good but I've found them to be jittery and not really suitable for anything more precise than a TV-style interface with big buttons)
@joepie91 @flxtr i have the same "air mouse". when in mouse mode the central OK button is left click, but i didn’t find any way to do a right click. the button bottom-left of OK is the "open context menu" keyboard key which only sometimes does the same as right click would (if the target has focus somehow)
I had to get used to it a bit. It has no absolute orientation in the room and no idea where the corners of your screen are. So every mouse movement is directly based on gyro or accel sensors. Don't expect it to be like a Wii controller. But its totally usable to control a Windows Desktop on a 50" screen from the couch. The keyboard on the back is as cheap as the typical small remote remote keyboards are; ok to type the first 3 letters of something in a search field, but not more.

@brunoph @ireneista These have too flimsy keys that break over time. Bluetooth also tends to have annoying delays for no good reason. Source: I have two.
I tried several of these a while back and never found a good one. I eventually ended up with an InputStick (inputstick.com), which lets you use your phone touchscreen as a keyboard and touchpad, but I just checked it out and the Play store app hasn't been updated in quite some time (I get a warning when running it) and was always a little janky. Since I didn't need to type much on them at any one time, it was sufficient.
And even though it's definitely a cheap and similar device, I've found that one to be of surprisingly good quality.
I've not had it for long so it's possible that it'll get worse over time, but as I recognize neither the 'bad keys' problem nor the 'bad connection' problem (and the touchpad is fine, albeit small), I suspect this one may be different in some way?
(Some additional context is that I'm picky about keyboards; I get frustrated by most cheap wireless rubberdome keyboards, and use a mechanical keyboard on my desktop. So "the keyboard on this device is fine" is high praise from me, even if it's definitely no high-end keyboard 😛)
Oh just realized I forgot to mention this, I got the version with the built-in battery ("Lithium"). Don't know if the AAA battery version has a different build.
perhaps if you just want something conveniently handheld, you could try using a mobile app like RemoteMouse to use your phone as a track pad and keyboard. I use the Google Home app as a remote for my TV and that's pretty useful. Wouldn't require any additional hardware so nice and free.
My favourite solution here is the "Rii mini" -- cheap; blutooth and wireless dongle; tough; pocketable; long battery life; they even throw in a laser pointer.
However for use at home the family wanted something bigger, so we use a full-size wireless keyboard now…
I had one of these things and having the touchpad on the right severely screws ergonomics I wouldn't even type a tv show on one. plus they're not premium, they're just the same aliexpress sludge with a fake brand name on it
sadly every one of the mini keyboards i've tried have the same issues. they're all so cheaply made. a half decent bluetooth regular sized keyboard with a track pad is probably your best bet. they can usually be got at an okay but not great price

a TV remote that has a keyboard and trackball /pad is severely lacking. It could suit both needs and be suitable for non table top use. Ergonimics all the way
If you don't mind going with a smaller device then you can't go wrong with a high quality keyboard from Blackberry modded to run from bluetooth or USB and with an opensource firmware
For the mouse part, the Alpakka controller is extremely good: inputlabs.io/alpakka
People in the Discord were talking about creating a keyboard add-on but so far nothing has materialized. The Alpakka itself has some sort of gesture-to-letter feature but of course that can't really compete with physical keys.
As one data point I’ve been looking for just the good thumb board sized mechanical switches part of this problem and as far as I can tell they don’t exist.
... If you can do without a regular trackpad, I've used an air mouse for years that is also a universal IR remote and flips over for a mini keyboard. 2.4ghz USB plugin for connectivity and uses standard or rechargable AA batteries for power.
Search for MX3 Pro air mouse... usually around $10.
EDIT to add: it's a 'learning', programmable remote too, so it can serve multiple uses for multiple devices.
I also have an rii that I love/hate. If you happen to be running KDE, KDE connect is really nice. The 'send text' feature is super useful for passwords. It has mouse and keyboard, but they aren't great.
you could try a second-hand alphagrip: alphagrip.com/ ; I had one of those like 10 years ago, and it was a good keyboard, but I never got over the learning curve.
or, in a quite different form-factor, the twiddler: youtube.com/watch?v=ZkSkgHX58L… ; I own a twiddler 3, it's a really nice device.
I've used these as remote controls for RPi powered kodi boxes. I find that the family drop them a lot, and the battery cover snaps off, or the entire casing cracks, long before anything else does.
This is not a disagreement, I'm just impressed that you're gentle enough with yours that they have time to experience switch failures
Maaaaybe using a remote desktop connection from a uConsole? It has a great keyboard, very clicky-clicky satisfying. Only downside is it's a bit heavy (durable metal body) and the included trackball works but is a bit flaky. (Also the wait after ordering one was a few months longer than their estimate even before the tariff nonsense)
I've had bad luck with the Rii ones, with the exception of this one. Maybe I got lucky with mine, but it's been a champ; never any connection issues. I pair it with the 3 OSes on my Deck when I'm out-and-about:
what's out called? Have you tried a second one? Does it have anywhere you could attach equipment so it may be debugged? Looks like a cool device, but I've never seen anything closer than a little portable wireless keyboard.
have you tried the other RII ones? the V3 and X1 have quite good keys and touchpads, I use them on my HTPC setup. I also have the K25 and while the keys are very good on it and it does work air mice get kinda annoying constantly re-centering them after setting it down.
I don't know if I'd ever actually try to do work with any of them though, you can get decently fast on them but it's still a chore compared to just a wireless keyboard.
If you can find one, a Sony GoogleTV remote might do the trick. The one I had was about the size of a PlayStation controller, with qwerty and media keys and an optical thumb "trackball".
I've bought many of these. Some get temperamental if not fully charged. This version with same functionality seems to work better more consistently. (Rii mini X1)
Lenovo once had a really neat one, a "Multimedia Keyboard" which was a handheld, kind of Blackberry-type keyboard with a trackball and all. Those are now ancient and their rubber coating's turned to goo.
There's a version very similar to that one now on Amazon, called the N5901, but it's a pretty cheap design with bad mouse tracking and poor adhesives causing labels to just kinda come away. The make-or-break for me now is missing Bluetooth support, but that's personal preference.
I've not got any recommendations, but I had the unfortunate experience of buying an AERB mini wireless keypad & trackpad.
Like your experience it doesn't register keypresses at times & just is an unsatisfactory experience.. but the 'cyberdeck' form factor of a controller style device was my preference.
In fact searching for the now defunct AERB on Amazon (UK) throws up the device you have..
sometimes i think to myself "where would i put the thing if i had it right now" and sometimes it's in one of the 3 spots i think of, those days are nice
When disassembling something, always tape the loose screws onto it using marking tape or transparent packing tape (whichever doesn't break the item's surface.)
It took me like 25 years to learn to not set shit on top of a ladder. If I carried something up a ladder with me, it comes down with me. I've lost count of how many times I've thought "I'll totally remember this hammer up here (this time)" only to climb down, immediately try to move the ladder, and get clobbered in the face by the falling hammer that I forgot about the second it left my field of vision.
ADHD often also comes with the ability to seek and find solutions. It's just that someone else usually must execute these solutions. Many very productive people throughout history likely had/have ADHD.
Be careful with that phrase. Being glad for aspects of one's disability seems to trigger some folks, and the response can be hit or miss. Some days, you mention a thing you're glad that your ADHD gives you, and people dog-pile you for daring to find a silver lining in your own life.
I get where they're coming from, since there are a lot of folks out there that don't understand what ADHD is. But they forget that there's a world of difference between someone without ADHD dismissing struggles by claiming someone has "superpowers," and someone with ADHD who chooses to celebrate their unique strengths.
Sorry, tangent. I'm just trying to look out for you because I've seen the Lemmy community jump on people for less.
My X-men style superpower is that under moments of extreme stress I become the most efficient man in the world.
When I'm not stressed, I'm a lazy asshole, lazier and more asshole than your typical lazy asshole.
When I am stressed, I channel the avatar of The Flash for up to six minutes at a time, then afterwards, I forget everything I've ever remembered except for guilt that I don't operate like that all the time.
I'd like to note that users here are adults, a lot of whom didn't get ADHD support as children. Some of us weren't diagnosed until adulthood. Others of us were diagnosed, but had parents who "don't believe in" insert-scientific-fact-here. Many of us are behind in life now due to a lack of support during crucial years. These memes aren't an end-all, be-all of ADHD, but a way for all of us to find humor in our predicaments.
As someone who had parents in denial, I hope it brings you comfort to know that acknowledging and supporting your child is giving him a huge leg-up compared to many of us here. You won't mislabel your kid as "lazy" and burden him with poor self-esteem about it, the way many of us were treated. Add in the benefits of tech, like having programmable timers, alarms, and reminders, and your kid already has tons more support than many of us did growing up.
You're doing good, Mom/Dad/Parent. You're providing your kid with the what he needs to do better than the generation before him. That is progress, and that is awesome.
Thanks, that's what we're working toward. I appreciate the encouragement though. We hold him to a high standard, but we also support him in every way we can. He still struggles, but he willingly reads more than most adults I know. It kills me to think of anyone as bright and kind as him not getting the support they need. It's still a daily struggle, but he has more good moments than bad and ADHDers I know recall being "essentially feral" at his age.
I love this. Not just for the obvious ("kid likes reading") but because we live in a society of "TL;DR" and it never made much sense to me. Even with ADHD, I prefer long-form messages and social media that doesn't have a character limit. The rise of "TL;DR" seems to be mainstream, which likely means neurotypicals... it's really ironic, isn't it? Those who supposedly have "normal" attention spans can't bother to read through more than a paragraph sometimes. Yet, those of us who supposedly have an "attention deficit" will pour over articles, books, Wikipedia pages, and more for hours or days on end. We clearly have the capacity to pay attention, even if much of the modern world sucks at grabbing and maintaining it.
That's the ticket really, he has endless energy and focus, provided he is onto something that is actually interesting to him. At 6 he's reading and understanding comics written for young teens (we had a quick word about a character who came out as trans and he easily understood). Sharp kid, just don't bore him.
The most important thing that you can do for this kid is to make sure he knows how to study properly when he gets into school. Every word you've said so far could describe me to a T when I was 6, and I did great in school without ever trying, so when I graduated high school and went off to college I flunked out halfway through because I never learned how to study. It bored me, so when I didn't just "get" something immediately like I had always done before, I often just didn't learn anything.
I consider that to be the one big major thing that prevented me from executing on the trajectory I was on. Had I learned how to learn when I needed to, today I could be some six figure code wizard milking investment money out of VC's and techbros. Instead I'm an automotive mechanic near the poverty line with no college degree to my name.
I'm not upset with my own life path, per se, for a number of reasons - I enjoy my work, I consider it ethical (in as far as supporting the automotive industry can be ethical...) and not least of which I'd probably have never met my partner if not f

But sometimes when I think about it too much the sense of lost potential is a little overwhelming.
Learning how to make himself sit down and learn something even when it's boring is a necessary skill that he may not develop on his own. I sure didn't, and look where it put me.
Take up this torch, kid, and do better than me. You have it in you. Someday soon we might all be depending on you.
I was in the "I masked hard until I lost the structure going into uni" camp, and even then I didn't actually get a diagnosis until 31. It's super familial and looking back, my dad 100% has ADHD and kinda suspect my mom has ADHD too, it's not that they were in denial they just didn't see anything as atypical, no teacher ever flagged me either, again, hindsight, I was overly talkative to the point of distraction and absolutely had emotional disregulation.
My parents did their best and were supportive of me, it sucks I was late diagnosed but was not due to them at all.
I was a "hyperactive" kid, I am not sure if I even have ADHD. It sure feels like I do or at least did have more severe symptoms when I was a kid. I kind of turned out ok. I can live a healthy, full life, married. My parents barely have any idea of how and why I was a negligent, immature kid who couldn't get better grades or make friends despite doing everything in my power.
Looking back, the support I would have needed is just patience, understanding, reassurance and acceptance. If there are proven methots that work with learning difficulties, then that! To this day learning more than surface level information is pure pain. Teach him how to learn in my opinion.
On the other hand, I am great at seeing the "big picture" and can derive information off of it to solve most of my problems on the go. It's not a lost cause, it's just different. Having to fit in society's narrow minded "just because I said so" standards is what made me feel and act worse when I think of it.
There's already one comorbidity mentioned here, depression, but obviously there's room for more like autism. If I had the skills I might've made a "slaps roof on car" meme version here, so you'll just have to use your imagination. (Tough sell for someone with aphantasia).
Trouble recalling commonly used words is a big one for me. Also I use other words as placeholder who are adjacent in my head, like dishwasher and washing machine. Followed by frustration that people don't have the same association and immediately understand what I mean
"Thingy," "that thing," "thingamabob," and "whatchacallit" are all valid ways that myself, my friends, and my family refer to items. Sometimes there's an adjective or relative descriptor used to clarify, like "that spiky thing," or "the blue thingy next to the TV."
Do you also sometimes go through the alphabet when trying to find a word? Usually if I can figure out what sound/letter starts the word I'm looking for, I can find the rest of it.
I don’t define myself as ADHD but I’ve been doing that for years. It doesn’t always work but I it primes by brain to be aware of all the letters. Good for wordle, trivia, etc.
I still feel like this is everyone and not really ADHD. I'm willing to bet a large percentage of people have most of these symptoms. If everyone has it, then no one does..
And before anyone says I'm dismissing it, I'm not, I'm just saying it's kind of like anxiety. Literally everyone in the world who has lived and will ever live has anxiety probably everyday. Are there varying degrees, of course.
To further this point, having half of these things can also be a thing for non adhd people... But, like most neurological diversities, it's how often they occur and how much they impact your life that makes the difference.
Everyone forgets their wallet/keys/phone/glasses from time to time... When you forget multiple times a week forever? It's different
Seems like the byproduct of a financial system in decay. Sounds like we live a mathmatical exponential function that feeds on the blood of the innocent, that corrupts all as it spits in the face of the natural hierarchy. Sound like repression, anxiety, alienation and depression. Sounds like predatory medical conformity of a institution that was once looked a as virtued. The beatings will continue until the moral improves...SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT NOW TAKE YOUR MEDICINE

@Saramo , please have a look. If encryption is outlawed, it will harm citizens not criminals. A backdoor EU / Officials can use is a backdoor for all immoral actors.
I wish Finnish politicians -- and especially MEPs and MEP candidates -- took more visible approach to opposing this in general, I'm so bloody tired of writing emails all around to make sure anyone I vote in any relevant elections is in strong opposition to this BS.
Five years of what feels like fighting windmills. Europol has to be the institution I have grown to distrust more than any other European institution, and that includes Orban's government.
@ananas @Saramo Some might, for example mentioned Saramo and colleagues Kyllönen and Andersson but for the fucking nihilists in epp no fucking hope. Salla worked for meta; chat control would be the best for them and the right wing authoritarians. The same with the Finnish reps from other parties. Maybe the greens might flip flop to the rights side but that would be accidental.
We have opposed chat control and have already raised criticism of the new proposal with the responsible commissioner. We are not the only ones, the aforementioned EPP member Salla and the Greens are also critical.
@Saramo @ananas very surprising about Salla! Would have thought her masters voice would have still held sway. Well, here's hoping you guys get to nix it!
Cementing my theory the EU commission is not actually sensible on tech, they just hate tech in any situation and are accidentally right sometimes because of how bad most tech companies are.
how many times will they keep pushing this crap before people have enough and tell them to stop? We know full well that you can’t have secure encryption that only allows ‘lawful’ access, and that any attempts to weaken existing systems will just make things worse.
Sorry, at least you guys understand what’s up and fight for privacy and online rights.
Can't wait for #Orban, and consequently #Putin, to get hold of this:
»This will enable secure #automated exchanges of #fingerprints, #DNA profiles, #vehicle registration data, #facial images, and police #records through EU routers. At national level, Member States need to implement the Information Exchange Directive enhancing information exchange channels for seamless cross-border information flow, while ensuring their integration with Union-level systems, such as SIENA«
> The terrorist threat level in Europe continues to loom. … They target their radicalisation and recruitment efforts specifically towards the most vulnerable sections of our societies and in particular certain young people.
So how about we care about most vulnerable sections of our societies for a change?!
The answer to people acting like our GOP is *not* to start acting like our Democrats.
@EUCommission Seems important you understand this point. Neoliberal fascist-adjacent policy just gives the fascists better tools to kill you with later.
So how do we force our "representatives" to pass a law that makes these kinds of initiatives illegal? If not, they'll just keep trying, becoming sneakier and sneakier until it's the kind of covert drivel we laugh at the US for doing.
"present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and assess technological solutions to enable lawful access to data by law enforcement authorities in 2026"
There's no lawful way to access this without legalizing either breaking encryption (which always fucks up) or backdooring people's end devices (which always fucks up).
I get the desire but there's just no way to do this without fucking things up. You really need to let go of this @EUCommission
Can the EU explain to me how is this going to help law enforcement, exactly? Because if Im a terrorist and I am planing an attack, I can easily send a message without anyone noticing by simply sending a seemingly inoffensive message using specific keywords that only the people I'd be working with knows. And I dont need E2EE for this. Not to mention, PGP, LUKS, etc, are a thing. I can simply sign a text file or something with PGP, or create a loop file as a device and make a LUKS container on it, and share the file.
So I ask again, what good is this thing going to do?
So basically the eurocrats have moved from think of the children excuses to national security excuses. If the government can break the law during an emergency than it will create an emergency to break the law.
The european commission is repackaging #chatcontrol as #protectEU - don't let them change the framing, never use #protectEU, always, always use #chatcontrol - do not let them take control of neither the chats, nor the discussion.
These idiots should be confronted on what is the exact purpose of these laws. If criminals know that chats are being monitored, they are not going to use them. Well, there will be a few fools who will get caught, but overall that won't make any difference. Make them admit that they want Stasi style mass surveillance.
i'm really sorry everyone,, apparently my food stamps have been cancelled. unfortunately i haven't been able to get a straight answer about what's going on with it yet. i genuinely hate asking again especially after just recently asking but if anyone wants to give anything it would mean a lot to me. i'm hoping things eventually get to a point where we don't have to worry about this as much

The background is blurred, but it appears to be an outdoor setting with a sports court, possibly a basketball court, with green and yellow markings. The person is standing in the foreground, facing the camera with a neutral expression. The lighting suggests it might be late afternoon or early evening, with a warm, soft glow.

yeah saying that autism disappears in people's 40s because autistic people are committing suicide around that time is not really a reply you should put on a post that's trying to raise awareness for the fact autism doesn't just disappear when you become an adult
