@marty Pain relief is defs pretty high on my priorities. I also find that having to move my hand to my mouse adds a bunch of extra pain.

Low key been thinking of just using the controller portion of my steam deck and speech to text instead of typing+mouse. The lil trackpad has been way nicer to use for everything but typing.

@trevorflowers @marty Interesting, ty for the links.

I think my needs are a bit different from what most keyboards cater to.

What I really want is:
- As few keys as possible
- Thumb-accessible mouse or trackball
- Split in two halves
- Bluetooth enabled

The closest that I found that meets my wants is the Dilemma from Bastard Keyboards, but that doesn't have BT and there's no easy path to add it. bastardkb.com/product/dilemma/

After two hours of fixating on it I have discovered I am not hardcore enough for a split keyboard. 🤪

The ones that seem most appealing are custom built and I just don't have the hardware knowledge or expendible income go gain it / the tools for it at the moment.

Dear developers: I don't want to use your app on my phone. I want a mobile web version, and you can do that.

Thanks kindly.

@nx @sc @GeeksLoveDetail Low key I'm considering making an offline-first 2fa app using npmjs.com/package/otpauth and a bit of low-effort JS. :P

@GeeksLoveDetail Weird. BitWarden requires you to "request" an ID and key to self host. :/

bitwarden.com/host/

Not a fan

Anyone know of an alternative to 1password and the such which is self hosted and supports acting as a app?

@thisismissem Theoretically yes, but I have zero clue where it's actually storing it's data. It's not in .local as far as I can see. 😅 Also not clear from their source code. (I'm not much of a C++ QT app wiz)

Fug. I really don't want to do the dance of setting up my 2FA on for everything again. Might just leave it on my old computer and VPN in whenever I need it. 🤪

@codinghorror Zima Blue by Alastair Reynolds gets into this pretty deeply. I wish the Love Death And Robots adaptation touched on those parts of the story.

Ugh. I wish things that required authenticator apps were required to support having multiple apps. I've been using KeySmith on KDE and I have no way to reuse my data on a second device. 🙃

4. Federated moderation

It's likely we won't have time for this in our current sprint, but I'd personally love to collaborate with groups thinking about how we can more easily opt into blocklists. For example, if you run a distributed press instance, it should be useful for all the sites on your community to opt into a blocklist instead of having to moderate everything on their own.

3. Word filters

In a lot of cases it's pretty safe to just say "We don't want any slurs, or anything that looks like a slur on our blog. Or similar with particular trigger words if you have a community that would be vulnerable to them.

Similar to blocking instances, we'll have a way to paste a list of words you just want auto-filtered out before the mods even see them.

2. Allow/Block lists.

In addition to the manual processing, we will also have a way to say "Filter out anything from this particular domain" or "Filter out anything that isn't from this domain.

We'll have a way to add to these lists one by one, but from what I've heard having a way to send a newline delimited list is something a lot of folks have wanted from Mastodon to make it easier to paste in entire block lists.

1. Moderation queues on webmentions before they show up on the blog.

Before a mention shows up on your blog, it'll go into a (currently central) queue which will need to be manually approved. Publishers can also opt into auto-accepting if they feel automatic filters they have will be enough.

Hey folks! Distributed.Press is venturing into the world of federated social and are working on our moderation tools. Specifically this will be on getting into published blogs.

What sorts of tools do you wish you had for making easier? I'll document some of the ones we're already planning in this thread too.

Boosts and shares appreciated.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm still very happy with this I wrote that uses with a MongoDB-like interface.

github.com/RangerMauve/hyperbe

serious question, why do people use #substack or medium instead of just making their own blog? I assumed for monetization, but some ppl who certainly know how to make their own just write free blogs over there and idk what the deal is with that
