Ploopy mice are a real thing and run QMK. I have their Classic trackball and it’s an absolute beast

I found out not long ago that I can’t donate blood in the US because I’m British and lived here during the 1990’s so could theoretically be carrying mad cow disease.
Or just anything
Another unsung nicety related to this one is that you can fully update your system but only start using it once you reboot. Too many times I updated the kernel on Arch only to find everything stopped working until I rebooted, hence why routine updates can just be done automatically with no issues to the user.
ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There’s always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that’s if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the ‘generic ARM’ one won’t). Feels like every few months someone announces something that’ll make all these problems go away yet here we are.
Yeah pretty much. The privacy invasion of ad companies is terrible for sure, but the whole seeing ads all over the damn place in the first place is also annoying enough that even if they were somehow completely tracker-free I would still block them.
Yeah this pretty much. Why would I drive a car? it’s a huge waste of money for absolutely no benefit to my life.
I’ve considered learning/getting my licence just to have it “just in case”, that way at least if that once every few years thing comes up where I absolutely need a car and a taxi just won’t cut it, I can hire one or something? but it’s just kind of not come up yet.
What kind of battery life do you actually get? I can barely scrape a fully day out of my phone right now so anything similar to that is fine by me!
I wasn’t aware the calculator app used h.264/5, what relevance is that?
Wait, so instead of using tabs in your browser you just… put separate windows on top of each other, and use your taskbar/keyboard shortcut to switch between them?
It’s not like you’re outside for long enough for your feet to get manky. If there’s dirt on them just brush it off on your doormat and carry on. The point of not wearing shoes inside for me is comfort, not cleanliness!
I never wear shoes in the house, and rarely wear socks unless it’s really cold.
say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes.
If I’m going on a bike ride then yes, I put shoes on (I’m not “changing shoes”, because I had no shoes on to begin with). If I’m doing something quick outside like taking the trash out, I’ll either just stay barefoot or maybe slip something like Crocs on if they’re close by enough to be convenient. You know if your skin touches the ground outside, it’ll be fine right? It also dries way faster than a sock or a shoe if you go out in the rain. It’s entirely fine.
Yeah just looked it up and that’s exactly what I was thinking of! Aside from the obvious technical limitations and the part where you probably couldn’t teach average Joes to parachute reliably, I imagine the simple act of getting everyone to actually jump out of a plane is probably immeasurably difficult too. Like I know people who won’t even walk across certain bridges because their fear of heights just won’t allow it, getting someone like that to muster the courage to jump would be impossible.
My Xperia 10 III has it up top. Damaged more than one cable by just jamming it in my pocket upside-down then realising the cable’s getting smushed up. Note to self: Get headphones with 90 degree cable connectors
I know absolutely nothing about this, but aren’t there parachutes that basically just auto-deploy as soon as you jump? I seem to remember seeing something where people hop out and are followed out by a long piece of string that catches on the plane and yanks the chute when it hits a certain length, or something like that. Presumably they don’t work at 11km elevation though.
Out of curiosity, how does this work with an external display? Does your HDMI/DisplayPort out go via the dGPU, or is it still done in the same way?
I’ve been dailying it on my desktop for a couple of years now (I want to say since 2022 but I forget exactly… there was a Plasma release where a certain feature finally became realised on Wayland and I switched then). Been running on my laptop for much longer, where I use GNOME. It’s been great, but I don’t have any Nvidia hardware.
Plus XWayland compatibiliry layer is an essential component as so little software has been rewritten to work with wayland natively.
Basically all Qt4/5/6 software and all GTK 3/4 software works on Wayland natively, outside of a few edge cases… what else is there aside from games?
They’re “self driving” in the worst possible way - they can run off on their own and do whatever they want, and have little understanding of the rules of the road. People already freak out when a robotaxi takes an inadvertent wrong turn, horses can freak out and try to kill pedestrians.
Ah yes because no one has ever “”“accidentally lost control”“” of their car and smashed something/someone to pieces with it!
I’d take the mounds of horse shit on the streets over the disgusting stench of cars any day. At least I can scoop some up and spread it on my garden.
I’m really curious to see what their regular mouse is like purely so I can recommend it to others (The amount of people I show my Classic to and they’re immediately put off because it’s a ball not a rodent is crazy). Wish there were more to choose from as well but I’m glad at least someone is doing it!
