Hi internet hivemind / #foak I have a software question.

I have been using Adobe Character animator for a project, even though I despise adobe.

But I really want to be able to work on this project when I'm not at the makerspace, and I want to be able to invite collaborators in to the project, and that means I need to stop using Adobe Character Animator.

Are there any pieces of #OpenSource #Libre #FLOSS software that can do 2D rigged puppet animation and automatic voice movement matching in a style similar to Adobe Character Animator?

With Harmony dying, does anyone know if there’s a useful replacement in the “one remote to control your entire AV setup, including IR and Bluetooth” world? My parents have said that that’s the only thing they want for Christmas, and Harmony was the only one I know about.

For a while, we had two hashtags (that I still have pinned) for asking questions to the broader community: #AskAFriend and #foak (which is a Usenet throwback).

If you have a question that you want to be seen beyond your followers, try using one or both.

Help me out, this is beyond my search capabilities: I’m trying to track down a list that a science fiction magazine had listed on their website of plots they won’t print anymore. It was funny. One of them was the one where a man and a woman crash their spaceship on an alien world and they turn out to be called Adam and Eve.

Any ideas?

Reading a restaurant review is making me realize that I don't think I've ever eaten Peking Duck.

#NYC people, can you recommend a particularly good place for it?

The farm share was very generous this week, but a lot of it was carrots. Anyone have ideas for what to do with a lot of carrots?

To get a few things out of the way: these photos were taken of people in public at a public event, and many of them are co-conspirators in both the murder of Heather Heyer and the organization and execution of the specific event. No reasonable expe

I am looking for laser cutter software that will run, and preferably compile, on Linux - bonus points if it compiles on 64-bit arm platforms.

Our farm share this week included an enormous head of cabbage. Normally when I have cabbage I make Carolina-style slaw, but I just made that with the last one. Does anyone have great ideas for using a lot of cabbage?

Anyone know where "Shan't.", as a simple dismissal, came from? I mean, I assume it's British, but is it from any particular media, or is it just a common expression?

Does anyone know how to open an outdoor light fixture that looks like this picture? There’s a latch on the front that I was able to get open, but there are two more on the sides that don’t want to budge. I need to change the bulb.

okay #foak #lazyweb #askfedi, what's the open-source web-based presentation framework of choice these days for smashing together a slide deck for a talk with minimal fuss and easy presentation hosting after the fact?

Clueless old person question: My first day in Brooklyn, I walked past a young guy who was talking on the phone. He was saying, “Don’t try to 48 me, bro!”

Anyone know what “48” means as a verb? Urban Dictionary had a bunch of meanings, most of which seemed fictitious and none of which fit into that sentence.

anyone have a line on a good #arduino library that unifies file access using both SdFat and SPIFFS if the devices are available and mountable or is this something I'm gonna have to roll myself

Anyone familiar with #fzf (the #commandLine fuzzy finder) know if it's possible to pre-focus the results on a specific line?

I know I can pre-filter it with --query, but I would like to refocus the last highlighted entry after reloading the list.

What do you call that old-timey music that you’d hear on a Victrola in the library of a murder mystery? It’s usually instrumental, piano or wind, jazz-adjacent but calmer and without any improv. Is there a name for it? I’m hoping to find some on Spotify.
