There doesn't seem to be any so I decided to make one myself. The topics you can discuss here are but not limited to:
>blue light filters
>blue light glasses
>dark mode
>eyecare monitors
>e-ink
>reflective LCDs
>effects of computer screens on one's vision
>Kobo e-readers
>Nintendo Game Boy and its successors
>other e-ink and RLCD devices

Also, it's a shame that Nintendo abandoned the Game Boy line of consoles

What about books with complex figures, or even something like a world atlas? The other thing I miss with ereaders is being able to quickly flip through. But I agree that they are awesome.

>The other thing I miss with ereaders is being able to quickly flip through.
Technically it would be possible with a touchscreen slider or a scroll wheel.

>>28408
What do you think books are for? Sitting on your shelf to make you look more intellectual? They are consumable. Mark them up, lend them out.

whats the best way to get a cheap ereader? i feel like these ebay prices are still crazy

Hello /tech/, how do you search for your images?

I’m looking for some image search services, I specifically want them for anime related stuff, but general use is good too. Both regular image search engines, and reverse image search tools to find sources or similar images, give me your suggestions and tell us what you use. Thansk Anons.

File: 1751295820539.png (547.32 KB, 500x750, 370e4e3f19d1494f21fa04a9cc….png)

I use these for anime:
https://safebooru.org/ (SFW)
https://gelbooru.com/ (NSFW)

Danbooru has more images but only accepts two tags at most.

For non-anime, I just DuckDuckGo.

Reverse, anime:
https://saucenao.com/
https://iqdb.org/

For non-anime, tineye.com then google/yandex.

>>30406
Is there any alternative front-end to google/yandex images?

File: 1752091126016.png (12.76 KB, 434x149, ClipboardImage.png)

Interesting feature just added to duckduckgo, filter out AI images.

>>30407
4get is a metasearch engine where you can choose what crawlers to search with and what (websites, images, news and music (only soundcloud currently). most of the instances have the basic google, yandex and "privacy respecting" bing frontend crawlers for images. up to date instances also have flickr and pinterest which i find very useful, some independent crawlers and stuff like knowyourmeme for memes and whatnot. you can also choose what country you're searching from, which solves the problem of garbage results when searching for local information or in other languages than english.

>>30534
Fuck, I meant the reverse image search, not the normal one.
I already know about 4get but thanks.

If you like retro gaming, FreeBSD can run emulators fine. I don't play newer games so I can't say but from what I've read its pretty much identical to Linux except you need to use linuxlator.

This OS is trash and anyone promoting it is a shill, I don't care what "degoogled" rom you're using.

Although to be fair about Arch, they at least have a PowerPC port (but it's unofficial). They also have Libre kernels (like linux-libre) from the AUR so that you can use for Arch Linux that can manually remove linix-firmware, intel-ucode/amd-ucode and proproetary drivers (like NVIDIA), but these are unofficial also. Qubes and Manjaro I would just avoid completely. Aside from GNU + linux-libre, you could also use Parabola GNU/Linux,which is Arch-based, Guix system, Trisquel, or maybe Hyperbola, which is also Arch-based (although their repo is no longer active).

>>30467
>proton-style compatibility layer
anyone knows what the current options are? years ago i installed some proprietary emulator on my dad's laptop, which the apps he used detected eventually, then android x86 as a qemu guest, but that refused to boot entirely. recently i also wanted to test if i could find an android app to get my family on irc, so i tried to launch waydroid in weston-x11 and it crashed for hard to pin down reasons (it wasn't dbus, probably).

>>30465
>Contrast this with Gentoo, which doesn't use any wifi firmwares (like Broadcom) or drivers by default, and it's 100% free and open source.
but you don't get wifi, nor the benefits that comes when the drivers are inevitable RE'd. broadcom's encryption was recently broken, if I remember correctly

>has been compromised and will need a hard fork
What? They pointed out that Brave set up an F-Droid compatible repository, it has nothing to do with F-Droid itself. I think posting it was misguided but they are not shilling for it, it's more like
> hey someone else is using the software we wrote, cool, too bad their software is shit

Also
> There's no "wallets" here, this is purely a tech issue.
If you need a "hard fork" that's a social issue and the "wallet" here is your participation feeding the network effect.

> there is no smartphone OS that supports [architectures that have no smartphones]
What a scandal! Google made an attempt at supporting RISC-V before realising the insanity in it.

I used to post in the programming threads more than a decade ago and everyone there was clueless. At least they got me to read SICP, for that I am eternally grateful.

>>30448
Tbh for me back in 2010 it was convincing me to use Linux in the sense that it’s a UNIX-like and why that is different from using Windows fundamentally, because prior to that Linux (primarily Ubuntu at the time) was just presented as a direct alternative to Windows that is free and has ethics, that it was a UNIX-like just was an technical irrelevancy compared to being a technohippy (which I still am really).


But as /g/ just becomes the buying-graphics-cards sub-board for /pol/, you get a bizarre amount of pushback against even using Linux as an ethical alternative to Windows, let alone using it as a UNIX, because ethics are woke and the terminal is for unemployable tryhards (which tbh old /g/ also said but that was what made you belong on /g/, rather than nu-4chan where you have to (at least pretend to) have a Protestant work ethic to prove yourself to rightoid billionaires and if you don’t then you don’t belong)

>>30440
>Pic
I'm pretty sure that the reason that aesthetic was a big fad was that vector graphics software became widely available and everyone simultaneously learned how to use gradients and masks
<t. used to make "forum signatures" for people when I was 12

>>30461
Show us some of those signatures.

>>30461
I think vector graphics software was already pretty obtainable (legally or not) prior, I think perhaps it’s more that circa 2008 there was a lot of hype around having 1080p Full HD displays and thus vectorised wallpapers were capable of showing off the sharp lines of vector art on such displays, while also being a format that can still produce a smaller bitmap for not so fancy displays.


It’s my thinking as to why the “frutiger aero” aesthetic was so busy, all the frivolous detailing shows off how high res your HD display is, but presumably looked trash on anyone’s old CRTs which while dying in favour of at least 720p flat screens, surely weren’t fully extinct by 2006.

Is there a leftypol compatible equivalent of 4chan X? really miss this browser extension's features https://www.4chan-x.net/ I figure its possible cause this site seems to be made with the same stuff

Not sure, this shits running vichan

>>30229
>>30230
Sounds like it’s for addicts tbh, like is Leftypol really so fast that it makes it worth building so you can be pinged when your post gets a reply like 6 hours later?

>>30434
Actually that's exactly why I want to be pinged. I check the site like once every few days, and often don't notice that someone replied to me until waaaay later (at which point it would derail the thread to continue the discussion)

>>30226
Dollchan works with vichan https://dollchan.net/extension/

i use it here you just have to add

// @include https://leftypol.org/*

and i think thats it. but it makes double (You)s and theres some other issue i ran into once and thought it was a site problem but it was really the script

A wealthy family member on their way to another country bought me pic rel.
This is probably the nicest keyboard money can buy.
It costs 1 and 2/3 months rent in Romania.
It's open source, fully programmable, and curved for ergonomics.
My typing speed is currently at least halved thanks to the learning curve.
This and switching back to QWERTY at the same time.
Second pic is my old dream keyboard.
What keyboard do you have and why, or what do you want?
Feel free to discuss other peripherals.

Are you Romanian?

>>30438
Nu sunt romana, dar invat.

Second is what i've used for years. It's robust and feels very nice to type on. You can even rearrange the keycaps, so mine match my particular dvorak layout.
>other peripherals
I always get a proper three button mouse, sucks when software assumes you have a scrollwheel though.
>no numpad for data entry
Do you even do REAL work?

>what do you want?
Leap key for navigation like the Canon Cat had: Under the space bar is your leap key. While holding it down with your thumb, you start typing a word and the cursor immediately moves to the closest match. Actually the Canon Cat had two leap keys, for going LEAPING back and forth.

Interesting idea. I just made a macro that does that. I just made a macro that does exactly that. It was a super easy.

It's just:
>ctrl+f
>tab once for previous
>tab twice for next
>enter

I just tested it and it works flawlessly in firefox. It might depend on the program. Just tried it in google docs and it doesn't seem to let you tab to the arrows. Ok tested it in Chrome and it works flawlessly as well there.

Well, /tech/? How do you keep your notes? What do you do while you read endless pages of theory? How do you remember and process information into your personal zeitgeist?

Pen and paper tbh

>>30412
How do you install that, I can't find it on AUR.

>>30413
You’ve got to compile it from a feather, ash mixed with water and some wood pulp.

I mean it might be packaged by someone somewhere and the version I’m compiling from is from 1687, so presumably if there is a packaged version it’s probably newer, but hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

>>30410
>Its also bloated and slow, and its internal wiki style links might not transfer to another system so notes might get linkrot if I switch to other platforms in the future
shouldn't the links be easy to replicate in another MD editor, i don't see what's so special about a folder of .md files pointing at each other

>>30409
>Haven't yet setup any LSPs or Treesitter, don't really have any projects to motivate it.
Was looking for an excuse, simply can't believe didn't configure this years ago.
It's so easy with Helix that even editing one file made it worth it to setup an LSP.
