I use the linux terminal for just about everything because I have no fucking idea how to use desktop environments

@squirrel I'm always happy to help, know next to bugger all about mate but I'm sure we could figure things out together

@squirrel if there's a button for "add" then you could put in the command for xfce4-screenshot and then bind that to something useful

that's the only way I can think of though

@squirrel ah, right

I think in Control Centre > Hardware > Keyboard Shortcuts there should be a thing to add a custom shortcut

@squirrel mate right?

I think by default pressing PrintScr will take a screenshot

Should be a thing in preferences somewhere to change keyboard shortcuts as well

@kellerfuchs @squirrel from what I understand it's people using switter like they used twitter to exclusively advertise their services

😮 here's another Casio PCB-replacement, this one for a calculator watch. The author reports ✨5✨ years of battery life. And it's got a heckin' ham radio built-in! goodwatch.org

These two modded watches, one with a reverse-polarization LCD hack, in front of a GPD Pocket! This is just pornographic 😳

TYVM @rrix for the link!

🤔 The circuitry inside a Casio watch isn't too complex, maybe I could measure it and manufacture a replacement with more features.

Oops somebody already did it! Way better than I would have!

The "Pluto" watch, which re-purposes the case and LCD from a Casio F91-W, includes a compass, infrared programming, RTTTL ringtone (musical) alarms, generates RFC 6238 one-time passwords, open source, and runs for a year on a standard watch battery! Wow!! 😮

more cybrepnuk than Pebble imho

@chosafine@instance.business 10 minutes was always my "fuck it, I'm out" threshold
