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

Since we are talking about printers, doesn’t CUPS require drivers to be installed? I have an EPSON L3150 & L395 at work and they are the only thing keeping me from installing linux in all the computers.
So basically I just need to set the print quality to high, and use the scanner. I’ve tried the official DEB drivers in Ubuntu, compiled the source code in Ubuntu & Arch, and nothing works. I can’t set the print quality (the option isn’t even listed when printing/in the printer settings)
Those epsons have their own scanner program, Epson Scanner or something. Installed from DEB and source, they work only sometimes. Tried skanlite, also sometimes work. Sometimes it detects the scanner, other times it doesn’t.
Tried using CUPS, it still required me to install the printer drivers.
Tried generic built-in drivers, don’t work.
Tried epson-inkjet-printer-escpr from AUR. Doesn’t work.
All done while having the printer directly connected to the PC. Nothing reliably works.
How does one even setup IPP? It’s easier to find documentation about the latest JS frontend framework than setting up IPP
Am i dumb?
Yeah, I once tried to switch to Kubuntu, wanted my macos style global menu. In arch I just
yay -S plasma5-applets-window-appmenu
In Kubuntu, I had to download source and spend 2h compiling, every 5 minutes CMake complained a dependency was missing, searching how the dependency package is called, installing, now another dependency…
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.
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.
Firefox flaptak, can’t play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it’s broken…

Google silently shipping signed chrome executables soon…
And then people wonder why non chromium browsers are important
Wouldn’t spoofing work? Like, if the browser just sends “yes, no extensions, adblock, blah blah” then how would the attestation server know if that’s true? Or does it require signed binaries, or some special hardware?
If I have to be awake at a certain time, inside my dreams I’d be always reminding myself to be awake at that time. Not the best sleep, but at least im where and when I need to be
Ah, asprite, an example of the reason why people pay for binaries, and open source is economically viable. Took me so long time to install and setup all the dependencies, by the time it was installed i got bored.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
You can try LibreTube, it has almost all the features of youtube. Only downside is some videos are slow to load, but if you can host your own Piped instance that’s solved. It has sponsorblock built in, regular updates, and a better ui imo
A year ago that would randomly appear for me. It seems they were a/b testing it.
Libretube with my own Piped instance, almost flamless. One line setup with docker, Runs perfectly on a 5$ VPS. I haven’t entered youtube in months, there is no reason other that to import suscriptions, channels, etc.
Only problem is for some reason some not-so-popular videos are slow to load on 720p, but load fine in 480p or 1080p. Really weird.
How about “php enables me to code like a moron”, or even better, "php breaks common conventions and forces me to think about every little detail and special edge case, slowing me down if I don’t want to accidentally ‘code like a moron’ "
Nested ternary operators emerge because of the lack of if/switch expressions (which is C fault), so they are “useful” (they shouldn’t be). However, PHP is the only language that treats it as left associative. This has 2 problems:
“But you shouldn’t use ternary operators anyway! Use if/switch/polymorphic dispatch/goto/anything else”
True, but still, the feature is there, and its bad. The fact that there are other alternatives doesn’t make the PHP ternary operator worse than other languages’ ternary operator.
PHP works against you. That’s the problem. The ternary operator is not a good example, since there are alternatives. But look at something so simple, so mundane like strpos.
If strpos doesn’t find returns false. Every other language returns -1. And if you then use this value elsewhere, PHP will cast it to 0 for you. Boom, your program is broken, and you have to stare at the screen for hours, looking for the error.
“BuT yOU sHoUlD AlwAyS cHEcK tHe rETurN eRRor!”
And even if that’s true, if we all must check the return value, does PHP force you to do so? Like checked exceptions in Java? Or all the Option & Result in Rust? throws, throws, throws… unwrap, unwrap, unwrap… (Many) people hate those features
PHP works against you. And that’s why its bad.
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
