I hope it can follow the system state. It’s pretty much the only application left in my system that hasn’t had support for that AFAICT.

I up-voted your comment as well. ❤️

Agreed. It’s a good question so glad they brought it up, but it’s not a good fit for Lemmy.

I mean, yes. You’re right, ideally. But it’s very, very difficult in the general sense to design something that works for every human. Not even fully capable humans will agree on what the best interface is.

That’s why there are different products that cater to different people. Maybe grandma with Parkinson’s shouldn’t have a smartphone with a touch screen. 🙂👍 There are alternatives.

I’ve also noticed my kids trying to press things on my screen. Before, when they didn’t know better, they would keep accidentally scrolling a little when trying to press something, because that’s how much force trying to press something real and physical usually requires.

But you can actually see, with your own eyes, the moment as they notice how their real world experience is not useful to apply to a touch screen. They have to adapt and be extra gentle and careful when tapping to activate stuff, so at not to scroll.

That does not sound like fun. I’m sorry this is happening to you.

I’m scared that I’m developing tinnitus. It started in one ear a few days ago and won’t go away. It’s not getting worse, but also not letting up either. It comes and goes, but when it’s quiet in the room, I can hear it clearly.

No particular event has occurred for it to start, sound wise. No loud things or blasts or anything. But I haven’t been sleeping properly for a good week or so. I should try getting some proper sleep. Maybe? I dunno.

My grandma is basically deaf, and my mother’s hearing got ruined when she was subjected to a house burglar alarm. Having bad hearing is not fun. I also love music and singing and such and I really don’t want to get effed-up hearing. My coworker is also afflicted by tinnitus and has to go to coping therapy and shit. It does not sound like a fun time to have this continuing, or progressing. 😟

The end.

vimtutor was a lot of fun back in the day, ngl

I am in the middle of a major transition from using regular keyboards to a more esoteric keyboard.

I have been using QWERTY and regular row-staggered keyboards my whole life. Up until now. (38 now, been using computers since I was 2 (two), and touch typing for probably 20 years at least?)

I have been using the ZSA Voyager now for about a week, which is a split keyboard, first of all. It is also column-staggered, and last but not least, I am using a different keyboard layout, namely Colemak-DH.

I have gone from about 110–120 words per minute, to about 20-35 WPM. So I’m essentially about 4x slower now than I was before the switch.

It’s… rough.

But I’ve read that a lot of people will say the same thing during something like this: the first few weeks, you’ll second-guess your choice. It’ll feel like you made a mistake. But if you persist, you’ll give your brain a chance to build new neutral pathways and create new muscle memory, and once that happens, you’ll be flying.

Regarding your own situation: one thing that I think helps with touch typing is to really look at a finger map of which fingers go on which keys, and try to type with that in mind. Also a tip I heard is that elevating your hands above the keyboard helps to be a little more accurate.

Best of luck!

It was a joke.

But yes, exactly. The reason is most definitely that nobody tells them there are alternatives. People think Windows “is the computer”. Much like they can’t separate the monitor from “the computer”. And these things are hard, even though they are obvious to us who know.

Hmm? That’s not how what works? I was really just making a poor joke there.

I was just kidding. 😁 But also there is surely a huge number of people who are simply unaware of any alternatives.

Same. People with small hands maybe, whose hand base is near the keyboard when hovering WASD.

Idiots

Surely his son’s resentment should serve that purpose.

But in lieu of that, sure. However, I’m also of the opinion that teaching someone like this anything is second priority to just getting them to stop doing the bad thing.

Of course. Thank you for your dedication. ❤️

In all seriousness, what do I do?

You document your dad’s child abuse and then report him so he can be prosecuted, convicted, and given a proper punishment back.

Sure, but not a lot of countries have this same global reputation.

How much are North Koreans really aware of the propaganda that they are being fed? Is it common knowledge?

Great tip! Although I prefer to support my local cube stores to be honest.

Megaminx is fun […] you just have to rethink how you apply the algos you know!

Interesting! I’ll have to look at a tutorial for that some day. 😊

I realised I was solving the 3x3 on pretty much muscle memory alone 😂

Definitely the case for a lot of my algorithms, especially the longer ones! It’s to the point where if I don’t do them fast enough I get confused and it breaks apart and I get lost. And that’s like 10 seconds of punishment just there, or at least can be. 😅
