I've been learning music since March (when quarantine started in my country and I bought a keyboard to pass the time) and it's been by far the hardest subject I've ever attempted to learn (including pure math, programming, sp

Isn't this basically a messaging app? Search doesn't really do much if the handle/profile/id isn't associated with created/pinned content. Telegram has the search feature. People don't use it much, except

I've also noticed that. It's very annoying to press space to pause the video, have a giant pop up cover the whole thing, and then having focus switched so that now space deals with the suggestion instead of resuming the video.

by kace91 6y ago
Several reasons (I'm not op). The main one is that you might not know the placement of the keys of the US layout by heart so having your printed keyboard match the layout is best. I'm a touch typist, but I still look from time to

That's a weird mindset. You enjoy drinking but consider having social fun while doing so a symptom of addiction? What's the appropiate situation then to drink without considering it harmful? Gazing through a window with a nostalgi

Same here. I've found many tricks that help. For example, erasing some urls from autocompletion (fn mayus backspace for chrome in mac) helps fight against the muscle memory, when you have to type the whole thing. There are also extensi
