With the recent talk about #gamepad support for some big #uxn apps, I wonder if there are any soft-gamepads that could work with #varvara #uxnemu on a #mobileLinux device.

Any leads?

apparently it's also important to delete the old records... and also that the new records are correct.

Installed a new home router, and I guess it decided to get us a new IP address, so my gemini capsule is down while the new A record propagates.

@zudn From a usability perspective, it's pretty bad too:
* starts with you deaf/mute (to try to scare people into using their phones to connect instead)
* browser version only allows you to see one person at a time (to get people to download the app so they can have more control)
* when screen sharing, it's hard to see all faces, takes over fullscreen on desktop
* phone app only shows 4 videos at once

today I added a script to my #gemini capsule to allow me to add to my /bookmarks.gmi file *using gemini*.

Seems like some of the browser experience could be done out in geminispace itself... less requirement for client authors, though that means more things "in the cloud".

or...
* edit text/write code with #micro
* change my #squeekboard layout
* browse gemini:// with #fossil
* listen to podcasts with #kasts
* try to use the fediverse through #tootle
* ssh into servers... really, I like the squeekboard+kgx experience better than florisboard+termux/android

I hope you're able to get free from the vitriol and set your mind on higher things. (Unfollowing negative accounts helps, but maybe taking a break from the fediverse would be best).

starting to try to compile #organicMaps on a raspberry pi zero... it's armhf, so if the problem (running it on the pinephone) is architecture based, this will likely also fail.

@ChiaChatter I use links. It has a graphical version (links -g) which has a similar interface but can display pictures and different sized fonts (though few distributions package the graphical version).

Which got me thinking more about #usfm2gmi:
If I were to make a #bible gem-app, what feature options would be desired?
Would any of the following be useful, and how should they look in #gemtext?
* notes (currently in square brackets)
* cross-references (currently in parentheses)
* word references (I experimented once with putting Strong's references in superscript)
* red-lettering (ideologically, I disagree with this)
* section titles
* chapter divisions
* verse numbers

Wrote a little #awk script to create an outline of the #openEnglishBible gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/cgi-bin/oebindex.sh so you can navigate the bible without thinking about the verse and chapter numbers.

@pocketvj @linmob @Saroufim (notably, this is compilation with cmake and make... the phone crashes when I try to compile with ninja)

@pocketvj @linmob @Saroufim I have 3 times so far (with different versions of the code). It successfully compiles (after > 10 hours), but always segfaults after the license prompt.

@josias@theres.life The huge draw of the fediverse is the in-order timelines (I used to like instagram > 5 years ago), and, of course, the interactivity (I still use an RSS reader, but rarely comment on blogs b/c of JS reqs like CAPTCHA). Microblogging here makes it easy to comment, share projects that I do or like with others who share that interest.

What I don't like about mastodon is the public nature (not that you can't do privacy on the fedi, but it's not well suited to that).

Was reading #linbits by @linmob and feeling kind of left out, running #postmarketos 21.03, so I upgraded to master/edge. It broke phosh startup, but was fairly easy to fix by (plugging in a keyboard and) removing some unused packages and running `apk fix`.

@ChiaChatter I can't visit your site anymore because your 'Antispam by CleanTalk' plugin falsely has marked my IP address (dig a funk.zachdecook.com) as spam.
