Ages ago I made a foot-controlled scroll wheel, out of the guts of an old mouse and some printer parts. Today I'm doing some GreasePencil animation and it's proving really useful. The one thing that using a tablet doesn't give you is an easy scroll wheel control, which is used by Blender to control the size of the influence when using proportional editing. It would be best if you could map pen pressure to influence size, but this is a good compromise.

If you're a Wacom user on a Mac, do NOT upgrade to Golden Gate. All you get is some AI crap, more liquid ass nonsense and having to use a freakin mouse like it's the stone age because your tablet stops working.
I don't have admin rights on this machine, so I'm going to have to beg IT to install it, but does anyone use Open Tablet Driver on Mac? Is it worth the paperwork I'd have to do to get it installed?

I'm prolly late to the party, but pleased to see this when I logged into my codeberg. They are good eggs.

Once again I am begging software projects to give us just ONE LINE that describes what the software you're announcing actually does.
#TellUsWhatYourSoftwareActuallyDoes

My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

If you listen to NTS back episodes, an annoyance is that there is no volume control for the player. So I made one. This is a userscript that adds keyboard shortcuts for controlling the volume and un/muting the audio at https://nts.live
Get the script here: https://codeberg.org/stib/userscripts/src/branch/main/NTS%20Episode%20volume%20keys.user.js
Install with TamperMonkey or GreaseMonkey etc.

If it annoys anyone else that the columns in the #Mastodon advanced view aren't resizable, I made a little jigger that lets you stretch and shrink them to your heart's content (with help from @zmotions@mastodon.online)
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454111-resize-o-don

==Update== I've also made a script that moves the Navigation bar, search and compose message elements of the Mastodon advanced web interface out of their own column and on to the top of the first content column, freeing up space.
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468037-rearrange-o-don
==Update to the update (2024/07)== the re-arrange-o-don script doesn't seem to work well with recent versions of the Mastodon web interface, if you have trouble composing toots, I'd suggest you don't use it. The resize-o-don script still works fine.

You need to install a #UserScript addon like #TamperMonkey (https://tampermonkey.net ) or similar to run it, and then you can install my script from greasyfork: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454111-resize-o-don
