Most keyboard reviews are about gaming. Can any of you recommend a good keyboard for coding/programming?

Here's some criteria for selecting the keyboard:

• Comfortable keys, easy to click and write coding quickly
• Must be a bluetooth keyboard
• Prefer using replaceable batteries instead of charging port
• Full keyboard keys including function keys, arrow keys and numpad
• Size can be compact or full-sized
• Doesn't matter if back-lit or not
• Doesn't matter if loud or quiet clicks
• Budget around USD 50

I just started using Summit, coming from Liftoff that seems abandoned and does not support Lemmy 0.19.

It seems Summit don't have the ability to show all posts from all multiple accounts in single view, either Subscribed or All. Something for the devs to consider.

Just heard another person's phone is using the same ringtone as mine, which is the default ringtone of the phone. The last time I got my new phone, I didn't change the ringtone.

Which is in contrast compared to back then in the early 2000, I see my friends the first thing when they got their new phone, is to change the ringtone.

Are your phone still on the default ringtone?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

Lemmy devs, please share if you built any tool that backup a single user's Lemmy account, settings, subscriptions - then can migrate or restore the account as new into other instance. This tool will be used by the user themselves, not by the instance admin.

Can we migrate a user's post and comments to another instance? Maybe like a bulk posting as new posts.

This is a rant about dumb password policies enforced by some websites or apps. If you see these password rules forced to you, try to stay away if possible.

Can't use special characters, or use a pre-defined special characters only

Are you storing the password in plaintext that your database will break when have special characters?

Password can't be longer than X characters

Most probably storing the password in plaintext and their database column is limited to those characters limit.

Password expire every X months, without notice, suddenly can't login. Reset it and can't use the last 5 passwords

They store your previous passwords, either encrypted or plaintext.

As per subject and image

If the description is longer, I couldn't click the subscribe button and the area is not scrollable or expandable.

I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.

For now we need to switch instance when viewing the topic, then only can comment using the desired account. Would be great to switch account when writing the comment itself.

It seems Liftoff does not yet support Lemmy read status. There's also no settings to hide read topics.

However I found that if I read a topic using Jerboa (with read posts will be hidden afterwards), it will be hidden on Liftoff. While reading any topics on Liftoff won't hide it when viewing from Jerboa.

I only found the Connect app able to hide read topics, while Jerboa and Liftoff does not have this feature. Is read status built-in into Lemmy protocol?

Can you make it a universal search bar? Without need to select an instance.
