Hey #LazyWeb: Does @fdroidorg have a weather app that displays the forecast on the lock screen?

I see lots of weather apps, but the descriptions are, um, inconsistent...

Chop saw recos: I was thinking of getting a DeWalt sliding compound miter saw with a stand. The only downside is it’s deep AF when fully deployed. It would be nice to have the deeper cut capacity since I don’t (yet) have a table saw. Thoughts / comments / experience welcome. Thanks!

brainstorming my novel

please think of the 1800s

is there one word or easy phrase to describe a profession or a career path where:

a boy leaves school, keen craftsman, starts an apprenticeship, becomes a master saddler - pivots to chandler of equine supplies (as his hands need a change of scene)

This SC is KristalClear's dad

his professional title can be real or creative

I'm also trying try to come up with a word or a phrase myself

a chesnut coloured horse outside a stable - very dark tack - light tan saddle - no rider

Hey #lazyweb, what would be interesting (and affordable/cost effective) services to host one's own open source personal AI models (like Gemma, Llamma, Deepseek, etc, from Hugging Face) and run inferences?

Plus if they run on renewable energy.

Dear #LazyWeb, are you aware of any summary of how #GenAI impacts critical thinking? I'm aware of studies around this subject, but a concise summary would be a nice starting point to navigate through scientific papers on this topic.

Is sideloading an APK seriously the only way to install DJI Fly on Android? If yes, why?

Hey ! Any recommendations for an spreadsheet alternative?

1. I don't want to email around files. Ideally collaborative but live collaboration not necessary.
2. Basic formulas.
3. No, not a database-like thing. I want a traditional spreadsheet.
4. Non self-hosted option for non-techies.

#lazyweb What are the orgs we are donating to help fund abortion legal services? I found ifwhenhow.org/ and that seems like a good option.

It seems that markdown killed the desire for implementing wikitext for recent wikis. Everything created after >2010 seems to use markdown and call it a day. Does anyone now of a recent wiki that doesn't use markdown? The only one I can think of is

does anybody on the #lazyweb know of an extension (or something) to make firefox less shitty at selecting text?

What is the point of having a built in select-text-to-translate feature if 90% of the elements in the layout can break the selection of text? or activate a mouse up/down handler or scrolls the page. Selection seems to break for :hover, or onmouseover or whatever the fuck else

"Oh, this one element has a mouse-over animation, so it can never be selected because the animation changes the dom"

statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

dear #lazyweb: is there a way to toggle nightlight on in #gnome without having to move the schedule?

i mean just toggle it on and off at the set temperature as opposed to enabling it means that it follows the schedule.

any android text editors or keyboards that allow inserting a literal tab character?

Dear #lazyweb, what is the best way you know to represent #tagged #enums in #Python? It needs to be at least somewhat type-checkable, although it's possible I might settle for something like enumerating each value's associated data type/tuple once again for mypy to see.

So far I've been using a hierarchy of frozen dataclasses and then a single-dispatch handler; however, now I have a possible use case with the need for validation, and the hierarchy of dataclasses is not discoverable, thus not, well, enumerable :)

Hey Fedi!
I need yet another chain tool. Do you have a recommendation for a good one that doesn't bend after a few uses?

genuine question

when writing teenage fiction, how many words in a chapter are:

too few?

too many?

It's all fluid, but currently I have as few as 1800, and as many as 4600. There is sufficient scope to split or combine some of the work that's already been done, without disturbing the natural flow of the material.

(and thinking about density, how many words per page? I have no constraints on the dimensions of the book, or the cost of having it printed)

Currently feeling overwhelmed with all my projects. I am lacking overview and everything feels blocked.

Does someone have recommendations for tools/workflows to structure personal projects? Usually my attempts to structure myself fail to become habits, because I forget to use the tool/workflow. But I am willing to look into any recommendations.

Thanks in advance. πŸ™
