@El_Rocha
It was already ridiculous an hour ago when it was priced at 16€ (compared to $12 everywhere else).
I want to support the app but 23€ in our economy is simply ludicrous.

Hey guys, looking for advice on my first build. I'm looking forward to building a Dactyl Manuform but I've run into some hiccups that I seek your advice on. I apologize in advance if my English is a bit wonky.

  1. Wireless? I thought about going wireless and ordering a pair of nice!nano controllers. I assume it will be a bit easier to assemble (less components) and I can switch between devices easily, but I've heard it's a bit harder to troubleshoot. Is this a good idea or should I go wired for a first build? How do I go about connecting the battery and which batteries should I look into?

  2. How to solder? Most of the Dactyl tutorials and guides I've come across assume some level of soldering experience and skip over some steps - I have none whatsoever but I'm a very willing self-learner. What are some good resources to learn how to do this? I'm talking basic stuff including things like where all the components go and which connect to which.

  3. Compatible switches? I've looked into tactile switches and loved the sound (or lack of) Gazzew Boba U4 Black Silent. Would these be compatible and a good alternative to standard cherry mx switches?

Thanks in advance for your help!

O kbin parece-me bem mais maduro, concordo.

Qual a razão para existirem os dois, btw? Têm focos diferentes, ou divergências de visão?

São interfaces diferentes, mas falam entre si através de um protocolo comum. Qualquer pessoa que saiba o que está a fazer consegue criar o seu próprio servidor de kbin, lemmy, etc e decidir a que servidores se ligar. A grande vantagem é não teres uma empresa a tomar conta dos dados (cof cof reddit)

 

I sent a GDPR data request to reddit days ago but reddit says it can take "up to 30 days" and I have yet to receive my download link. The API is shutting down soon and I really just want to archive my personal data before I purge the account. Is there an easy way to do this?

I understand and 100% support your move but I just wish the old posts were archived. I was looking forward to building my own keyboard and had some reddit links saved that would be very helpful. The situation just sucks all around especially for the smaller niche communities.

Como todas as comunidades novas, precisa de gente e de paciência. Gente gera conteúdo e conteúdo chama gente.

É uma pescadinha de rabo na boca para a qual o reddit já leva mais de uma década de vantagem. Mas estou a usar o kbin.social e estou a gostar muito.
