I have a lot of weird tech shit lying around, but if I count USB-powered I'd probably only get to seven
That's including the USB-powered oral irrigator😅
My workstation of course has a lot of peripherals plugged in, but it has plenty of ports and two displays have USB-hubs — more than enough for me.
@Jessica
OMG 😱
Then, maybe it's worth getting that 80-port thing!
@Jessica PinePower looks nice too: https://pine64.com/product/pinepower-120w-desktop-power-supply-us-version/
It's smaller, but of course it doesn't have 80 ports 😅
@kf Michael Hewitt has series of books on music theory: "Music Theory for Computer Musicians", "Harmony for CMs" and "Composition for CMs" — there might be more by now, but I only have these 3.
I already knew the basics when I read them, but I think they are really good and easy to understand, e.g. he uses not only standard music notation, but also piano roll found in most DAWs, guitar tabs, show what chords/scales/modes look like on the keyboard…
I'd recommend these books!
@captainepoch One of the rare cases when text actually makes the picture funnier 😹
I just got rid of the color as it would be another factor of making them harder to arrange this way.
This phone has a boot animation based on the image used as wallpaper, and even boot sound based on a track composed by me 🤪
Here are some screenshots of the home screen in question: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108980858120492466
I've been partaking in a discussion of some people's trait/idiosyncrasy of arranging items by their color: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108955030149258151
And I'm convinced to believe I'm not one of them, but I'm looking at the screenshots of my phone's home screen and realize that I might be worse. It is minimalist, but I spent a lot of time to make it look like this. The apps in the drawer are sorted alphabetically, but look like there is some system behind this, at least to me.
@Zerglingman
I use something called Omega Launcher. It has LOTS of features I don't really need, but I really like that you can get rid of all the labels, the search and make the widgets full-width. Looks really nice.
But, I really did struggle to make the punch-hole not obstruct the wallpaper, spent like half an hour on small thing like this. It looks okay on the preview, you press "Ok" and it looks all wrong — like I said, had to do it the trial and error way 😅

@thor
> makes no sense in terms of the labour involved
I see what you did there 😏
You're a Marxist because you think the world is unfair,
I'm a Marxist because I'm a stupid lazy person,
We are not on the same level!
@thor I bet these cats could be good at Assassin's Creed 🤣
@tomxcd@fedi.nullob.si
If they don't mind ☺
@evelyn
@thor So true!
@thor At least it not the kind of Russian tourists from that Okkupert show, who can barge into anything, are loud, require a lot of service and can shoot you if they don't like it 😂
@Pixificial
Yup, and considering where I live it's not too bad to be somewhat paranoid.
But I think I went a little overboard and it's time to let some of that go. I don't selfhost, but I use the instance of a privacy-oriented company, and I use VPN from another privacy-oriented company from a different country to access it, I don't have my real name or phone number specified — should be sufficient from privacy standpoint and true anonymity is not what I strive for here.

Что-то подсказывает мне, что дело вовсе не в курсе доллара 😏
@copyrights
I agree, it doesn't look like tusks at a glance at all, but… It's literally in the name 🤣
@dzuk
@joel Are those Arctic icons? I recognize none of these, except for Files and Tusky, but maybe I just use different apps 🤷
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
