circles-ios VS DsHidMini

Well, since you asked... :-)

I've been working on something in this space for a little while. It's called Circles. Originally, I just wanted a safer and easier way to share baby photos with my extended family. Safer than posting pictures of my kid publicly on Facebook. Easier / more convenient than pinging the crap out of everyone's phone on Signal.

It's kind of like a bare-bones version of Facebook. Only you can have multiple social circles (like in G+), each with your own "wall" for posting stuff and timeline of posts from the friends that you're following there.

All posts are E2E encrypted, using the same crypto as in Element/Matrix, and the back end is just a standard Matrix server. The E2EE prevents the server from seeing what you post, or from injecting crap into your timeline. You can use your own Matrix server, or you can sign up to create an account on mine.

It's open source: https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios

You're welcome to try out the beta if you want: https://testflight.apple.com/join/cwsJZed9

If all goes well, it should go live in the App Store later this month.

Unfortunately it's iOS only for now. I'm working as fast as I can to get started on an Android version.

If you try it out, please let me know what you think! Thanks!!!

Wow, well said. We are trying to build something like this with Circles. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios

It’s E2E encrypted, so the server can’t datamine your posts or meddle with your timeline. Built on Matrix underneath, so building federated communities will be straightforward.

Let me know if you’d like to try it out.

I’ve been learning SwiftUI and building an encrypted social network app. It’s called Circles, and it’s almost ready to go.

Next I need to make the Android version. I’m hearing a lot of good things about Flutter.

This is awesome. Not because I like Twitter. It’s pretty awful.

And I don’t hold out much hope that this will do anything to stop Twitter from boosting crazy garbage in order to maximize “engagement” and sell ads.

I’m excited because I think this will make it easier for competitors to come along and offer a better, more user-focused experience. You can do a lot with $3/user.

Full disclosure: I’m building a privacy focused social network that will be a paid subscription service. https://github.com/KombuchaPrivacy/circles-ios

So first you need to use software to make the Afterglow PS3 controller appear as a DS4 controller (e.g. DsHidMini and DS4Windows), and then make sure you're playing a game that supports the DS4 controller (e.g. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_DualShock_4).

Check this out. I have ds3, ds4 and dualsence connected with this to and they works perfect https://github.com/ViGEm/DsHidMini/issues/40

This should be what you're looking for, should be a simple setup!

I think OOTB support is contingent to this.

https://github.com/ViGEm/DsHidMini Works for me

I remember DS2 and DS3 controllers having pressure sensitive buttons, meaning that pressing X to accelerate would make the car go faster the harder you press on X and slower the lighter you press X. I have been trying to setup my DS3 for at least 2 hours now trying to get the pressure sensitivity to work using GInput. I tried to get ScpToolkit to work, but the program wont even open to let me install the drivers. I then found DsHidMini, which works flawlessy with GInput, I was able to install the drivers and get my DS3 working in-game without any problems... except there's no pressure sensitivity. I tried putting DsHidMini's XInput1_3.dll into the games directory thinking that would work, but it didn't change anything.

So I checked the github page and it seems that it's dead and the dev recommends using DsHidMini instead, I don't know much about these softwares but according to this the DsHidMini checks the MAC Address of the controller to see if it's fake or not but it probably won't work since it doesn't have all the MAC addresses of all genuine devices.

I uninstalled those drivers and downloaded DsHidMini. It does what I want, I just have to switch from its settings between SXS (Steam, RPCS3) and XInput each time I want to play RPCS3 or PC games. Don't know if there was any other way.
