  • Huh, I thought most keybindings where tied to the position of the keys, being vim “motions”, as in how you move your fingers or something like that.

    Maybe there are vim layouts for dvorak that I can use? Because I think I’d prefer to have the keybindings in the same place.

    I use a dvorak-based layout personally, but spanish QWERTY at work. Some time ago I learned EMACS with qwerty, so when I switched to dvorak my muscle memory was ruined, even if I knew the keybindings. I wonder if it’s worth it learning 2 keybindings to be able to switch layouts


  • Makes sense. Spanish keyboards have Ñ instead of semicolon, so it’d break. But I’m sure other things break in France, where they use AZERTY. So it’s not that universal.

    That makes me wonder, is there a way to get a keypress based on the position of the key, rather than the keycode? Would that be useful? Would assuming everyone is using a normal keyboard with letters in the same place even make sense? How would that interop with things like QMK?


  • My main problem with vim is that they use hjkl instead of jkl; , it doesn’t make sense to me why they’d do that.

    And my second problem is that I use my own custom keyboard layout instead of qwerty, so I’d have to remap all the keys. Why spend hours learning and then rebinding all the keys when I can instead play some Dota? /s



  • You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.

    Users were asking for it, that’s true. I guess users don’t really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.

    Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.




  • From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don’t access it from the outside (can’t open ports on residential connection in my country :c )

    All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.

    The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don’t think that should influence…




  • I think that would allow a “better” democracy in paper, but not much would change. Using my country as an example:

    1. One person, one vote, voting is mandatory, if you don’t vote you have to pay penalties and lose access to many government services. Businesses are required to give time off for voting. Elections are so fragmented that in the last one a person with 15% of the total votes won. People voted for they in second round only because they were the lesser of two evils.

    Candidats are still shit, evil persons that only care about using the government to enrich themselves (and have a history of doing so), most of the population are so bad educated that they only need to hear a few promises to vote for them.

    1. Not implemented. Would be specially nice for the fragmentation.

    2. We only have congress. Still corrupt, still holds most of the power, uses it to gain money through laws that benefit them and their businesses. It is very fragmented, but it doesn’t matter, because they join when they need to pass a law that benefits them. Leaders of the political parties decide which laws to pass, and tell the congresspeople how to vote. If someone does’t vote as they are told, they are removed from congress.

    And to get to congress you have to bribe a lot of money to a lot of people, so no one would self destruct after getting in debt before realizing some earnings.

    1. Supreme court justices are not permanent, last only 5 years, no reelections, appointed by congress. So what? Just do the things that need to be done during your 5 years. After that the new congress will place new puppets. If a major scandal is revealed, you’ll be protected by congress, allowed to leave the country with all your money, and forgotten in a few years.

    2. Bribes are illegal, lobbying is illegal. We did it Patrick! Bribery is no more! You can just get money off the table. However, here the opposite is argued. Congresspeople and the president should have the highest salaries, so that they wouldn’t have incentives to take bribes (they earn so much, why risk it to get more). But even if they were



  • TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.

    I don’t think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.
