As an intermediate user who is not in IT, I share several impressions about the tools macOS makes available for the creation and management of keyboard shortcuts. My dissatisfaction with these tools led me to skhd-zig, an excelent tool in t

Those broads limitations also make writing the stories easier, since the author/worldbuilder doesn't have to come up with 100 different reasons why it can't be done for each particular case. He only have to do it once.

Consider using a TRT[1] Tinnitus hearing aid. It was prescribed me by my ENT doctor and it provides me with great relief. My Tinnitus is persistent and extremely loud. Loud enough that I couldn't get use to it even after many years. I&

This is a “crônica” about my relationship with computers in Brazil in the 1990s. The crônica is a uniquely Brazilian format that emerged in Brazilian newspapers in the 19th century. The crônica is very short. It is characterized by a mix of

That is usually the case. Unless you manage to stop optimizing and have a very simple system.

I know this is a website for programmers and I am not one. I like LLMs for quick answers and simple tasks like proofreading (just to fix errors, not to add or change anything) and simple text formating. I absolutely hate for everything else

I actually read Derrida in my time with the literature department so there was no analytics vs continentals struggle going on at all.

Deleuze is a fairly traditional philosopher once you get to know him. Derrida kinda wants to burn the very things he needs to convey ideas, so understanding Derrida feels like something Derrida wouldn't approve.

Here in Brazil shadow libraries essentially make research possible. Paying for ebooks in US dollar is prohibitive to most academics.

I also don't see anything wrong with trying to do that. I am talking about communication, not development. Mussolini probably used fountain pens, but I wouldn't advertise a pen as just the way Mussolini liked it! .

Yeah... I just tried to make st terminal to start maximized using wmctrl. For half an hour I'm not a programmer but still... It's a little demotivating.

I think more in terms of enjoyment than pure typing productivity. If I'm using a text editor that I found comfortable and fun, I am more likely to feel good while working. So a text editor is more like a chair -- the gain in productivi

I would most certainly not compare Autohotkey to Emacs in that way, as Emacs, powerful as it is, is not really meant to be the same as Autohotkey. However, Autohotkey can do pretty much anything you can think of in terms of GUI OS level loc

In many relevant ways, Windows is more easily hackable than Linux. That is in no small part due to Autohotkey, but also many other tools made by independent programmers. Autohotkey is vastly superior to anything available on Linux, where on

> People also seem to like me better when I cut my mids a little bit, but additional research is required. Instead of digitally recreating your voice so people like you more, have you considered getting some psychotherapy? Maybe? :/

VLC makes video choppy on my low-end Debian machine. MPV plays them perfectly.

I am firmly in the camp where I am not answering this question only to satisfy an irrelevant need to take things literally while ignoring the actual issue being discussed.

Have you actually used vanilla Gnome? I did it fairly recently. Gnome 46 is like a fridge. It has fewer graphically exposed settings than Windows 95. I literally had to install a program to scale my wallpaper. It's absolutely ridiculou

No making any accusations but I used Little Snitch extensively at a shop that didn't pay licenses for either Final Cut or the Adobe Suite.

So it's text expansion. Maybe you should just call it that? Also I 100% thought it was a keylogger with some relation to a sex act in the UK, which is why I clicked in the first place. Maybe not a great name for something as innocuous

Could that be a Ublock Origin filter instead? Honest question, I'm not a programmer.
