Huh true, I’ll have to check again see if it works with the usual programs (it probably does)

No macro keyboard but I have a programmable mouse with 12 buttons which I assume is similar. You can have different modes with different key bindings so I made 4 modes = 48 buttons.

I don’t have that many macros though, it’s mostly control keys that are used a lot, arrow keys etc. For coding I have some bindings with ctrl-C, ctrl-V, ctrl-Z, ctrl-/ which work in most editors. Something that’s a bit more interesting, I have a button that places the word “exit” in the clipboard, so you can then press the ctrl-V button to paste the word in a terminal, cause a lot of processes (like the ruby console) can’t be closed with ctrl-C.

To be fair Europeans have been whining about paper straws and bottle caps since forever too. It’s not a purely American thing.

We were in late high school, it’s not like we had no responsibilities. Pretty much every year after that has been better than middle/high school for me.

You should be enjoying the school years cause they’ll be the best of your life. Said by someone who very obviously peaked in high school.

Started reading Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar. I had underestimated it (or overestimated my Spanish). A large part seems to be a stream of consciousness that is pretty hard to focus on but moving between chapters in different parts of the book actually helps a bit.

Which makes this an issue since no one will go read the whole list of laws

This has the unintended consequence of people not knowing about the law if it goes unenforced for a long time.

Anything by Jeff Vandermeer. Maybe Margaret Atwood too but I’ve only read Oryx and Crake (which was great but not sure how much it fits here). Tender is the Flesh is really good and pretty dark. Blindness by José Saramago. If you’re looking for something really weird then House of Leaves (but warning, it’s not exactly a normal story and you should get the physical book).

That would be amazing timing, this use case came up a few days ago. I’ll check if there is an update, thanks for the info

Sorry for hijacking this, I have a similar issue. When you say similar to outlook, is there a way to see shared (group?) calendars in teams like in outlook? I feel very stupid for not finding this.

Tbf the people who find it annoying usually have no say in what the company uses. The problem isn’t that there are more features but that each feature doesn’t work correctly in isolation.

So basically Microsoft demands using their whole ecosystem if you want their services to actually be useful?

• I have a Linux laptop that Microsoft apps seem to hate. Both Skype and teams refuse to let me share my screen (both app and web version)
• The teams app kept putting itself on startup and I had to change folder permissions to make it stop
• The whole click on link to open app thing that doesn’t always work
• I’m current having issues with showing calendars but that could be on me

I know we like to hate on Google here but Google Meet is much better imo.

Shit, I really liked this one. Does anyone know of another android browser that lets you see the console/inspect element panel?

There are some manufacturers that have kept these features and it’s definitely a selling point. The one I know is Sony but I think there was another one. I’m still sad they removed the notification led though, it seemed like they would keep it as they also kept the top bezel.

Most if not all music is on YouTube for free already. Maybe the equivalent is the sites that let you download music from YouTube and these come and go like the movie streaming sites.

Well they’re honest. They admit it’s already late and they can’t even estimate when it will arrive.

In my experience you won’t actually boil water in the microwave because it takes an eternity so you end up with tea in “warm” water instead. Or apparently some people also put the tea bag in the microwave ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
