Thank you!

That means a lot to me. Thanks so much for your kind words!

I'm not familiar with whisper.c++ but I did try faster-whisper. Unfortunately, the transcriptions took upward of 40sec and it didn't offer live transcription, which is a nice feature of vosk. There's a comparison in the readme with other differences. That said, it should be relatively modular. It shouldn't take much to swap it back to whisper if that's what you prefer to use. Whisper is in the nix flake as optional, and the program allows you to change models but i haven't bothered trying to switch back to Whisper since Vosk has been more performant.

I use the Futo Keyboard on Android which already has this feature. It's also opens source, and I've had a really good experience with it so far.

I should also add that if you don't want to reconfigure Jambi to use Whisper, you can try WhisperNow, which is built in Python and uses Whisper. I saw similar transcription performance when I used Whisper with Jambi and decided to move forward with Vosk after testing Whisper in both programs.

Thanks for the reply! That would be good info to include in the future wiki. Still curious if this key originated with some 1970s era keyboard or if it came from something more modern.

@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm seeing super, hyper, and meta on the Space-Cadet, but no meh.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

While the meta key is well documented, the meh key is vaguely mentioned in multiple modern split keyboards such as ZSA keyboards and the Kinesis Advantage.

Some games don't work, despite what ProtonDB says, such as Stardew Valley.

@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Apparently, I'm not the only one. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/help-running-stardew-valley-in-nixos/48574

How do you avoid those errors?

guttermonk ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Just tried GE-Proton-9-9 and the play button goes to "stop" and then right back to "play". I tried launching from terminal using nix-shell and steam-run so I could see the error messages when it crashes. Thanks for looking at your setup to see what was going on.

guttermonk ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

It's a 2013 macbook air, which is weird because when I had OSX installed it played Stardew fine.

I did both - I have steam and steam-run in environment.systemPackages and I have packages.steam.enable = true;

Here's my hardware config:

  hardware = {
    bluetooth.enable = true; # enables support for Bluetooth
    bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true; # powers up the default Bluetooth controller on boot
    opengl = {
      enable = true;
      extraPackages = with pkgs; [
        intel-media-driver # LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
        intel-media-sdk
        intel-vaapi-driver # For older processors. LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
        vaapiIntel
        vaapiVdpau
        libvdpau-va-gl
      ];
    };
    pulseaudio = {
      enable = true;
      support32Bit = true;
      extraConfig = "load-module module-combine-sink";
    };
    xpadneo.enable = true;
  };

Can you open animated gifs in imv? I just get a black screen, but the home page says animated gifs are supported.

guttermonk OP , (edited )
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn't look like that's in the works.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I'm using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn't sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Gwenview looks a little too full featured, but the Gnome Image Viewer (Loupe) works well. No dependencies needed in Nix, and the arrow keys let you flip between different images that are in the same folder. All of the on-screen functionality works (copy, move to trash, zoom in/out, toggle full-screen, etc.), and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work great. The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn't respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

If that let's you flip between images that are in the same folder using arrow keys (or something similar), that would be awesome.

Unfortunately, --all isn't an option. The following options are available in swayimg:

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -r, --recursive      read directories recursively
  -o, --order=ORDER    set sort order for image list: none/[alpha]/random
  -s, --scale=SCALE    set initial image scale: [optimal]/fit/width/height/fill/real
  -l, --slideshow      activate slideshow mode on startup
  -f, --fullscreen     show image in full screen mode
  -p, --position=POS   set window position [parent]/X,Y
  -g, --size=SIZE      set window size: [parent]/image/W,H
  -a, --class=NAME     set window class/app_id
  -c, --config=S.K=V   set configuration parameter: section.key=value
  -v, --version        print version info and exit
  -h, --help           print this help and exit

I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r but it wouldn't let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/* like this thread suggested, but still no luck.

Ahh that's good to know. I had no idea about libadwaita. Thank you!

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for confirming that you're seeing the same thing. Must be a bug.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Another okay option I just stumbled on is Viewnior. The only thing it lacks is webp file support.

Nova launcher - there isn't a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).

guttermonk ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Doesn't look like Hyperion is open source :(

Until there's a FOSS version of Nova, I guess I'll keep using Nova and have my firewall block its outgoing traffic.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the link. That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you.

I like the integration with Timeshift and the into packed interface with ability to click on details. On the downside, the themes are limited and it's kind of hard to use for browsing apps that you might want to install.

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the suggestion. After getting some weird behavior with Appimage Launcher and reading this reddit thread, I decided to install pamac-flatpak from the AUR, but plan on leaving AUR dissabled on the app. So far so good. I think it's a keeper.

Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative? ( play.google.com )

Looking for a music player that will do a good job of loading album art. It all looks great in PlayerPro, but I tried Auxio and Aplayer but they didn’t do a great job of pulling in the album art. Tracks were also incorrectly lumped together with mixed albums/artists. ...

guttermonk OP ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the recommendations and for sharing your wisdom. I’ll give them a shot.

guttermonk ,
@guttermonk@lemmy.ml avatar

Lawnchair and Neo Launcher are close seconds but, unfortunately, there is no one for one alternative. Just use a firewall to block Nova’s internet access.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

I don't know of any FOSS SMS apps with this feature, but there is an open issue in Quik's github repo requesting that feature.

Please leave it a thumbs up if that's something you would like to see added. https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik/issues/152

I don’t recommend downloading from unofficial distrobution channels without verifying a hash. That said, why doesn’t Exodus give Linux users a PPA? Mac and Windows both have auto updates for the Exodus wallet.

How do you get those inverted bottom corners on your Waybar?

guttermonk OP ,

Yeah, I just tried it out and it works really well. Even works with AnySoftKeyboard.
