  • God this tweet makes me mad on so many levels. Anyone who has spent any meaningful amount of time in the command line knows this tweet is such bullshit.

    EDIT: Further venting of frustrations.

  • Which is the better media player: Media Player Classic or VLC?

    Jump

  • Yes. You don't need anything more.

  • If it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were living in a simulation what would be your next move?

  • If I can't determine what lies beyond the veil, then nothing much changes, does it?

    If I'm presented with a beautiful utopia, or just another world that's not a hellscape that lies beyond our simulation, and then am thrust back into the simulation, then I guess I'd be less afraid of death. If I'm presented with a hellscape, then I guess I'm more scared of death.

    However, if I could somehow be convinced that this is all just a simulation, but can't see what lies beyond in what is actual reality...then that's just like...knowing there's an afterlife, but not knowing if it's better or worse than this plane of existence, so it's practically worthless information.

  • Everybody reads Brave New World, nobody reads Island. Island was supposed to be Huxley's answer to the problem presented in Brave New World...and it's beautiful...and tragic. The man was more prescient than most.

  • Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.?

    Jump

  • Yeah that makes sense. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

  • Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.?

    Jump

  • Yeah I can see that. These payment platforms need to be centralized due to just the nature of, y’know, nation state backed currencies.

    My only interest in this thread comes from my curiosity as to whether or not Patron, KoFI, etc. Can still provide their services at the level they already are, but way cheaper (I.e. give a higher percentage back to the creators). I know its somewhat low currently, but is it as low as possible?

    Just something I occasionally think about.

  • Does anybody else don't like to stick to obligatory celebrations for yearly holidays/anniversaries?

    Jump

  • Yeah I feel this OP. I am always forgetting birthdays, even my own sometimes tbh. I do randomly get gifts for friends and family, but its never for the usual holidays.

    I...don't have many friends, lol. But the ones I do have all understand my stance on holidays and celebrations. It's just not for me.

  • To the lonely people here... How do you survive these holidays?

    Jump

  • I've been depressed...hell I still am, though I cope better than I used to.

    I'm guessing its not just the holidays that gets you down. There's two ways out, and I suggest doing both.

    1. Conform to some of the social norms that basically means take some of the classic advice you've already seen on here. Get out of the house and participate in activities that you might not initially enjoy, but hold some promise of you at least getting a bit of enjoyment out of, or at least stick around for the socializing. Think of it like taking your vitamins, you don't have to like it, but its probably good for you and therefore you should consider doing it.
    2. Find things you enjoy doing in your solitude that are nondestructive/neutral or even healthy (depends on the context if its avoidance/addiction or not). Listen to podcasts, read books, learn a new skill, listen to music, meditate, exercise, etc. Just something. We can give you ideas all day, but just choose something and stick with it for at least a couple weeks before trying something else.

    The harsh truth is that without some kind of existential raison d'etre, life is just a series of activities we use to distract ourselves from our own loneliness or avoiding ruminating on other topics like death.

    The world right now has made it hard for people of all walks of life to connect authentically, and so don't blame yourself entirely for the situation you're in. That said, when you're down in the shit, there's only two choices, you either wallow in it or you clean yourself up and do what you can to make your way up and out of it.

    And I hold no judgments on what you or anyone decides to do here, life is hard and yeah, it can suck. But I personally look at it that I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. But I already know what it's like being damned if I don't... might as well find out what it's like being damned if I do.

    Take it or leave it, that's all I've got for you or anybody. Good luck out there.

  • What didn't you understand before about why certain things are but now do because of your experience?

    Jump

  • Why we're choosing to destroy ourselves due to catastrophic climate change. I just...I get it now, but there are too many facets of it for me to want to list them all right now.

    But I understand it. It doesn't make it justifiable, just comprehensive.

  • This might be a controversial opinion, but I would stick with the QWERTY layout. There's already a lot of cognitive overhead learning things like tiling window managers and Vim key bindings that I don't think that switching up the keyboard layout is really worth it. What affects typing speed most, imho, is muscle memory, speed of thought, and lastly finger reach. Ortholinear keyboards help a lot with that last aspect, and there's differing opinions on what is best.

    I think a good place to start is learning to use the Preionic 60% or the Plank 40%. Keep the QWERTY layout, but memorize how to access symbols (and on the 40% numbers) using the additional layer keys.

    You can think of layer keys like extra shift keys near the space bar that change not just to capital letters, but also numbers and symbols, that's why you can get away with significantly less keys on the keyboard, and gain much faster reach of your fingers once you memorize these other layouts.

    The order I would go is:

    1. Learn Vim/Vimium on a regular keyboard. Learn how to use the terminal to do as many everyday tasks as you can.
    2. Customize and learn to use a tiling window manager on a regular keyboard.
    3. Buy, build, and learn to use an ortholinear keyboard with the tiling window manager.

    After you're comfortable with that, you can consider installing the different layouts like COLEMAK onto your ortho and try that out. But honestly I don't think this last step is necessary. Instead I'd start to look at other ortho keyboards you might like more than the preionic or plank.

    I now use the ZSA Voyager. My friend enjoys using a custom ortho with a curved surface for ergonomics. And there are typing devices called DataHands that basically completely upend the way one thinks about typing. Its a whole world. Good luck.

  • I have done a lot to make my environment nearly 100% mouseless. The only exception is gaming. You just need a mouse for most modern gaming.

    That said, it requires a large amount of personal customization. If you edit files/code, look into Vim/Neovim. Heck, just learn Vim Key bindings. Sorry, not sorry, it's worth it.

    Install vimium in your browser so you don't have to use a mouse nearly at all while browsing the internet. Learn how to use it.

    IMHO a tiling window manager is a must if you want to make your setup as keyboard centric as possible. i3 is a good starter. I currently use BSPWM, but there's quite a few to choose from, and they all are roughly the same once you have your keyboard shortcuts in place. Make sure to combine it with an application launcher like dmenu or rofi. If you need a status bar like i3bar, use one (I personally go without).

    Get very very familiar with the terminal. You'll know you're down the rabbit hole far enough when you can connect and troubleshoot a WiFi/Ethernet connection without using the mouse. Imho, you don't really need a file manager, though it's nice to have. I do have one on hand just in case, but just a terminal and the good ol' ls command is good enough for me.

    Also look into ortholinear keyboards (acronym is OLKB) if you truly want to fly. Pricy investment, but your hands will thank you later, and once you are comfortable with that, the combination of an OLKB with a tiling window manager WILL make you fast.

    I became obsessed with foregoing the mouse from 99% of my day to day use of my computer a couple of years ago and it is very very satisfying. Learning curve is high. But IMHO totally worth it.
