Monogram has a 3 slider controller, plus it's modular so you can build something for your specific workflow.

You might be able to combine a small physical MIDI controller with a cheap phone/tablet for controlling more advanced features like envelopes.

A raised plexiglass shelf/cover, perhaps?

This looks great. If only I had the time and the skill to build something like that! If anyone is looking for an even smaller (non-DIY) MIDI controller, Monogram and Intech offer r…

That's a great tip! I bought an air purifier that has a very bright blue light illuminating the entire room at night. Now if only I can find a way to disable its annoying on/off ch…

Thanks for posting this! I am not planning any new projects but this is a cool example of implementing a micro-framework in Python. Might just use it as a reference to build my own…

I don't have much experience with soldering, but would it be possible to buy a device that uses this chip and take it out/re-use? E.g. this listing in my area: https://sfbay.craigs…

From what I understand "core" is a central part of a fruit.

I mean - yes? I understand what a stable identifier is. Having a unique user ID in a database doesn't magically enable likes on all features. But for the purpose of this discussion…

Yup, I used to use them back then.

It’s a list, not a comparison.

Contextually I like the word "drop" more too. Saying that, I might want to sync a moment in time with a particular Yann Tiersen's piano phrase that's hardly a drop, more like a fav…

Right, I partially misunderstood your idea. For notifications and such you would need to modify the source code at a deeper level. But for just customizing the home feed (update st…

> No it doesn't. There are zero people on the registry for urinating in public. This is a myth that pedophiles like to claim. Yes it does. Puppy killers like to claim that it doesn…

Hi. I like the concept but could not figure out what this app does before I read your comment. I am familiar with the concept of a "drop" in modern music but didn't immediately ass…

The only thing I can think of is hosting your own ActivityPub server (e.g. Mastodon) and customizing the theme. Maybe that's the future of more individually-tailored online experie…

Not sure what your experience is, for me forums still work great but they have transitioned from general social hangouts to very specialized niche communities. I don't mind that an…

How do you keep track of all local, state, and federal laws?

I don't use that, but AFAIK on most existing social networks you can follow tags instead of users.

For many people Telegram will never be a viable option. It has strong ties to Russia and is being run from Dubai. While maybe it's not big tech (i.e. Silicon Valley), it definitely…

Not sure why you have such a strong opinion on this. There are countless examples of people suffering immense harm for trivial things that are considered unlawful in some jurisdict…

"Sex offender" at least in the US is a ridiculous classification that includes people who peed in a fountain while drunk. I don't think they should be punished for the rest of thei…

Personally, I like the idea of hardware-tied auth (phone/FIDO2 key), that could work for me eventually. However, I am also one of the "anon-in-the-ether" people and don't want a pe…

On the plus side - in addition to Marginalia's own success, you can take partial credit for how good Kagi search results are (IIRC Marginalia's index is one of the sources for Kagi…
