Shiiiiit, those managers should be bowing at your feet every day for you allowing them to be in your forklift certified presence.

This is why I have dozens, if not hundreds of tabs open. Usually I open links in a new tab so I can easily tab back to where I came from. Using a hierarchical tab manager makes this work better because when you’re done with the topic, you close the whole branch… theoretically.

This tactic also seems targeted at mobile users where it’s harder to break the loop.

Millennial here. In high school we used to tape the latest proxy URLs to the bottom of the computer lab keyboards… allegedly. Organized resistance. I remember almost getting in trouble for making IT cry because I made fun of them for accidentally blocking their own website.

What made you pick Colemak over Dvorak? I am not criticizing your choice, just curious. I chose Dvorak because I found the vowels on the home row cut my hand movement a lot. I fully agree with you on the pinky stretches, that’s my worst movement, which I triage by turning on KDE’s “Caps Lock is another backspace” option.

I was a member of a number of groups in a larger gaming community most of which migrated from Reddit/Mumble to Discord. It destroyed the quality and accessibility of written content and lore and I wish it had never happened. Then again, we can’t go back to reddit at this point either.

Guess I’ll be posting my screenshots in 640x480 from now on!

How do you understand this without falling into the defeatist mindset that the sheeple deserve to be imprisoned in the state of enshitification that their ignorance, laziness, and unwillingness to learn has helped build? Put down your iPhone, or go check into your local FEMA camp. I hate to be negative like this, but people really seem to be willing to give up everything for convenience and bling.

This is the only way. These companies are essentially asking for a free license for themselves while everyone else must pay.

“Copyright for thee but not for me.”

Will your warez be legal after you wrap them in an AI model, or only if you are a big, greedy, invasive, tech company?

If we could just remove every parking lot and replace all major roads with trains, we would free up so much mammoth habitat.

My elderly relative in Germany used to drink Caro? Carro? coffee. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caro_(drink) Barely, Rye, and Chicory. Chicory, if I recall correctly is still in various things, including Fiber Snack Bars. I had to look it up since I didn’t know what it was and wanted to know if it was bad for me in some way. Turns out, as usual, I should be more concerned about the copious amounts of sugar.
