I imagined it in a cartoon-ish fashion, so I think I can actually draw it out.
- Red ball
- Male
- Like Google's default profile picture, without facial features, except he's in gray and has a neck
- My single hand can surround more than half of it in a cross section view, so about 12cm in diameter
- Rectangular table, about 5:2, I didn't imagine the material, but it's plain brown, so I guess wood?
Additionally, the ball rolls parallel to the long edge of the table, and falls off the short edge. The person also have legs.
I already had these in my mind before being asked.

Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.
Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

Global hotkey is only used for playing the sounds and nothing else, and that is basically just running a command.
This will play all files that has an audio stream (cls is also using this command):
ffmpeg -i <file> -f s16le - | pacat -d <sink> --channels=<1 for mono, 2 for stereo> --rate=<sample rate> --volume=<0-65535, 65535 = 100%>
I guess it is pretty complicated so maybe I'll add a way to play files.

No. 8 is just one of the signals. There are also no. 9 and no. 10. These signal are used based on the wind speed at HK instead of the storm itself.
For the actual strength of the typhoon, we just call them differently: https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/informtc/class.htm
Although I'd admit the current hurricane is actually stronger than a lot of typhoons: https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/informtc/historical_tc/metinfo_wind.htm

Hongkonger moment
I'm seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.
For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don't have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.
There used to be a joke about "Lee's Forcefield", where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.
Therefore yes, you're going to work.

During my development, I have found 2 different crates that handles global key input. They are inputbot and mki. I looked at some issues in inputbot and learnt that they are using libinput as the backend. I didn't read about mki though.
This soundboard is using mki, and global hotkey is working in Wayland (at least for Plasma).
This is my first ever Rust program. The motivation of this is to create a soundboard with global hotkey support on Wayland, because Soundux wouldn't add it :< That's why this soundboard is structurally very similar to Soundux. Here's a screenshot:

Having a relationship is a bonus for me. Not having one is normal, and I don't mind.
Also that's like a few hundred things that I don't have to worry about.

Not really. In Chinese, boba/bubble tea is called "pearl milk tea" (珍珠奶茶), and you do literally suck them with a straw.

I recently bought a Corsair HS55 Wireless Headset. They stated it supports Dolby 7.1, IF you use the iCue software, which doesn't work on Linux. Using pavucontrol, I can change the profile between `Analog Stereo Output`, `Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output` and `Digital Surround 5.1 (IEC958/AC3) Output`, but the `Analog` one is the only one that works. The other 2 just results in broken audio. There's not even a 7.1 option. I don't have high hope about this, and I expected it to not work when I bought it, but it would be nice if anyone has some ideas.

Behind them is a monitor, showing breaking news in Wet-Dry World. Crafted with the ideas from [the idea post](https://lemmy.world/post/17617246)!

I'm satisfied with mine and I use it everywhere. How about you?
I did the banner for this community 4 months ago, and I think the time has come to make one for @splatoon@wetdry.world ! This time around, I want everyone to suggest something, instead of me crafting it up from scratch, so please leave your suggestions here for Summatia! She'll take your order! I should also mention your suggestions need not be the "main" thing. What I want are some little details, or background elements you'd like to see in the banner. (This is kind of what a local HK restaurant waiter looks like) (Thanks to Experiencer for poking me about this every now and then)
Here are 3 examples: Fried egg, fried rice, fried chicken All these "fry" are different. If you were to use the "fry" in fried rice to fry an egg, you'd get scrambled egg. Fried chicken is done by submerging it in oil, which you won't do with fried egg or fried rice. This post is made from the perspective of a Cantonese/Chinese speaker. We have different words for these different types of "fry" (煎, 炒, 炸 respectively) (Turns out I did post it in the wrong sub and I didn't realize, and now I feel very stupid. Photon UI has once again screwed me over. Got mad for no reason.)
We don't like being average
I'm a Hongkonger and often need to type in Chinese. While I can use input methods like Cangjie or Quick, I much prefer handwriting to keep in mind how to write the characters in a digital age. So far, I have only seen open source keyboards without handwriting support. Does any of them exist?
