I'm a heavy shell user, both interactively and in scripting. I'm a big believer in it and it can take you a long way, if you use it properly and realise its limitations. I haven't seen a few of these and they do look pretty u

Seeing as people have mentioned libinput, xorg.conf and other manual things and seeing as this is Hacker News.. the way I get around this is by using cwm as a window manager with its rudimentary tiling, tmux in st/alacritty/xterm

Minor point but I'm seeing a lot of rectangles in a few places where presumably I don't have the right font to display the icon.

It may be slower, but I'd give up speed if this would result in less memory usage.

It's true that bash can be installed on any Unix-like OS, but so can Python, Perl, etc, but it's not available by default, on OpenBSD there's pdksh, FreeBSD tcsh iirc, and on MacOS I believe the version of bash is really old

Interesting... I'm pretty sure I hold a golf club right handed, but I didn't play much and it was a long time ago so I'm not sure, but I used to play with a friend who was definitely left handed, and he was different to me an

Yeah use the mouse with my right as well, but I've never knowingly made a conscious decision to learn to use my right, how I use things just seems natural to me.

Yeah now thinking about it the "left=precision, right=force" statement does make a lot of sense for me.

I tried Firefox when the Quantum update first came out (this is on Linux) and it was still slow despite all the fanfare, but now at v63 it is really usable for me and I'm gradually switching over. (Update: I realise v64 just came out b

I really want to use Brave and I've tried it over the course of more than a year, here and there, and every time it crashes when I pin tabs, I haven't checked their bug reports, granted, but how is this not solved by now?

I really like VS Code, it has some good plugins and it's faster than Atom, but it's still too slow. I use VS Code, Sublime, Intellij or Vim which is my favourite editor. It's my favourite because it runs in the terminal and i

I see where you are coming from, but what is the point of creating Fedora Server releases and non-LTS Ubuntu Server releases? A minority use them sure but still..

Yeah I agree with this, my Lenovo has the same CPU and 8GB of ram (the maximum) and I'm happy with the performance.

Yeah true. I guess it's a wide spectrum, and it depends on what effect the condition has. I guess I mainly said that with regard to more milder symptoms, where that person would be fine but are in a sense held back by the diagnosis.
