I’ve had it where my wireless mouse (connected with a usb dongle) stutters when my wifi/bluetooth chip is going full-throttle. I thought it was some polling rate on my mouse, or maybe my mouse was dying, but nah lol. This is next level insane tho

That’s real. It sounds like despite all the circumstances being bad you’ve settled in to a spot where you can be as good as you can be for now. It also sounds like your humble research with dpdr has been good in finding explanations for your lived experience, which I hope has a side effect that you feel less alone :) All of this plays a role into how you feel, and I appreciate the detail. no worries about the lil vent 🩷

Yesss repairing stuff feels amazing, not only do you get a sense of independence, but the computer goes through this hero’s journey-like experience that you get to play a guiding hand in. At the computer’s darkest moment you were able to step in and save it from death, and let it breathe once more >:3

Ooo I need to do this for my old Windows 8 laptop. It has a touchscreen and I’d like to use it for a low-spec + Wayland touchscreen testing device. Unfortunately, the battery has been dead for years, and I’ve also lost where the laptop went D:

Oh also hi Una✨ how’ve ya been??

This was my thought as well because the problem resolves itself within a matter of minutes. However it doesn’t make sense that OP would have the same problem for multiple instances, and could access each instance in the browser without issue. Also, our instance showed 100% uptime when I initially checked the post so I’m not sure it’s that.

My biggest hurdle to making the switch is that it takes effort.

Thats pretty understandable honestly. If my old netbook wasn’t so bogged down from Windows, there’s a chance I wouldn’t have switched to Linux. In a way, I’m glad for it, but it woulda been easier if it just came with Linux preinstalled <3

The biggest thing I remember was driver support being awful. I guess it’s a lot better now?

In my experience drivers have been pretty solid… except for NVIDIA. People seem to either have 0 issues or tons. Fingers crossed the upcoming Nova+NVK driver combo brings a more consistent and stable experience for all :)

Looks like you can’t initiate a crouch with a buffer jump, so if you move the fishbone above the hidden block, and force Super Mario out of the pipe, it should be cheese-proof. If not, maybe that’s more impressive than the level itself :3

Actually I’ve learned it’s not unrealistic for people to chain buffer jumps with this setup. Maybe I can move the fishbone up so that you are forced to land on the ground with a mushroom, but that hinges on whether you can initiate a crouch while doing a buffer jump.

I could maybe make the vine longer so you’d have to chain a lot of jumps, or maybe theres a way to prevent the initial buffer jump (on-off under the door maybe?)

Cool, thanks for sharing. Maybe I’ll take a look. I don’t know a lot about i2p’s protocol though.

There’s another i2p router in rust I’m aware of but it hasnt been active in 2 years it seems. Maybe it’s a useful reference to you https://github.com/str4d/ire :)

Thats a good observation. I would think I use Ctrl more frequently than Alt, so it would make sense to have Alt where Ctrl usually is, and Ctrl where Shift usually is.

Interesting, I’ll have to check it out. I’ve been passively wanting to leave brave on iOS for some time now. Thank you!

Nope. I use left shift for everything.

Even if you do use both shift keys correctly, it still feels awkward to me since you have to sacrifice a pinky from home row and shift your hands.

It’s why I’ve been curious to try a layout where Shift and Alt are swapped, that way you can use your thumb to press shift and keep your fingers in place.

To me, sentences ending in a period feel immutable, and without nuance, but sentences without a period feel incomplete, or up to change. Without periods it is almost a way to say, “this is what I think right now, but I might reconsider.” So, it’s not that periods are rude per-se, but it may appear that you’ve made up your mind and are closed off to interpretation. Sometimes I intentionally remove periods or turn it into an ellipsis for exactly that reason. It’s just way too easy to misinterpret people’s intentions through text for me not to type in a way I think reduces misinterpretation.

As for being associated with older people… anecdotally speaking, my co workers sound like they were taught that there is an immutable, proper way in the world, and so they express themself in that proper way. Nothing wrong with that really! Once I get a feel for their personality, I find it kind of endearing :)

Yeah it is the most convenient option for iOS ive found

Ah yes, PCBees

woah, ive never heard of this one. it looks awesome. thanks for sharing!!
