There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don’t want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I’m curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for “colaboration” if the instance is big enough.

It’s hard for me to say because I haven’t lived in another country other than my own for any amount of time. It’s funny though how all the answers are countries in the west :)) Send some love to the balkans please.

I’m very much the same. Also because I use it for porridge quite a bit, and it feels pretty wrong to eat oats with… oats.

1984 much?

Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)

I like this a lot! Can you share resources on this topic? I’d like to understand the context / problem a bit better.

Could a multisensor be useful? For example to also measure temperature, wind, light, etc? Aren’t there any such sensors available on the market?

this sounds cool, and not too complicated to implement :)

To give some ideas as well, maybe there could be some addons powered from the electric longboard, but I can’t really see how they could be useful. The main problem I see is that you’d need a wire coming from the longboard to the user / addon. this seems dangerous.

Maybe you can have the longboard battery be detachable, or have a smaller detachable batterry different from the main one that you could use for other tasks? (both being chardged either externally or through regenerative braking)

But tbh, I think such a project would overcomplicate and miss the point of the longboard.

Interesting ideas! I’m don’t do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we’re looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren’t secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.

I’m not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.

thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)

this could be interesting. unfortunately I am not at all familiar with composting so don’t understand why this would be useful. could you please explain why temperature monitoring is important for composting, or direct me to somewhere I could read more for myself? I want to learn, thanks :)

I mostly use a gui file manager, but when I do use a terminal based one I use ranger. Haven’t tried others, I just like this one.

Wow. HIGHLY impressed. I’ll save this. expect me to ping you with questions when I gather the courage to make one of these!

edit: or rather you could share the parts used here :)

this is amazing. is it custom built or can be bought somewhere?

I really like the first one. Gives a very interesting sense o perspective contrast. The dog looks big and the world around quite small. Collage vibes. Very nice!

As other poster recommended, you should by all means install Linux and learn by using it as a daily driver.

What is your end goal with this? Going for BSc in Computer Science / Engineering would enable you to become a developer / computer scientist.

Photo/video/vector editing seems very out of place in your plan. That’s just another domain. If you’re passionate about those visual arts, that’s great and more power to you, but know they’re not relevant for a computer scientist. Src: I’ve been there.

Regarding everything else you’ve said, it seems to me that you’re learning stuff without a direction and just because you’ve heard those things (cs50 / linux), are important. I suggest you choose a moderately difficult task (game, app, tool, website, ehatever) that seems interesting for you to create, (install linux) and start working on it, and focus on finishing it. You’ll learn a lot on the way and gain a broader understanding of how a project is pieced together. Most importantly, you’ll figure out what you don’t know, and thus eill have a direction going forward.

And don’t get me wrong, you’re right, you can gain a lot of valuable knowledge by going through cs50 or learning to use the linux terminal, but it’s not really useful unless information, unless you apply it to a project.
