I think https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware might be what you are looking for: It exposes itself as flash drive in bootloader-mode and the files on there are just regular Python scripts. If you search for “KMK macro pad”, you’ll find a bunch of projects - most of them diy. If you want to start from scratch, Jan Lunge created an awesome tool for setup and keymap adjustments (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtYJYFMWjNM, repo https://github.com/JanLunge/pog) - with the idea being that after setup you do not need the tool anymore to adjust the keymap.

Unfortunately as you found out QMK is not officially supported. But there is a port called SonixQMK which supports this board. This firmware also supports OpenRGB, so you can integrate the light even better in your setup.

Nice. That gave me compiz flashbacks

Your numbers are convincing, you must tell the truth

I felt the same way. Based on this alternatives suggestions post, I installed Aves and it looks quite promising.

Thanks for saving my time.

Have you tried Piped? It can be self hosted, but there are also public instances. Features also include Playlists and Feed, probably also History. Maybe you need to create an account for that. Never tried that, because I use it through the Android App LibreTube which also has these features without account.

Nice build! Make sure you also post it on !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml

Also glad there are discussions about this. Somehow Lemmy and the Fediverse seem more privacy friendly but it’s just as public as anything on the web - which makes sense, since communities, posts and comments are public anyway. So I’m not sure how it could be more private with the currently design.

There are however protocols that can provide the foundation for more privacy friendly and decentralized applications like Web5 and Solid.

Agreed, in the text the original article is linked where Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification - I enjoyed reading that article.
