  • I'm assuming blue means a key is more used, so it's showing Caps never gets used. enter doesn't make sense though, so maybe it's only showing key combinations?

  • From my experience, the large button does the flush, but the size of the flush depends on how far you push it down. The small one simply pulls the large flush button down with it, but stops it from going more than half-way, resulting in a smaller flush.

  • I believe birds have a very different perspective of harmonisation. What they sing might sound harmonised to them, but not to us (and vice versa).

  • Toodle-oo (to the loo) as you leave the room. That's what I say to my cats at least.

  • No, it means people can contribute issues and pull requests to projects on other servers. Repositories would only be created on the server your account is on if I'm not mistaken. I believe it uses activitypub internally, so should work the same as Lemmy/mastodon.

  • I've always used Ctrl for that. I had my computer for 2 years before I discovered that Ctrl is the "wake from sleep" key, and no other keys would work anyway. (it's a thinkpad)

  • From my experience, they'll be stuck in there until you help them out.

  • Yes they share many similarities with the FSF, but they are separate, and have some different viewpoints on things. You can't use something they do as an argument as to why FSF is good, when the actual FSF doesn't do that thing. They also dislike RMS, who is also one of @onlinepersona@programming.dev 's arguments against the FSF.

  • FSFE is not the same as FSF. It's a completely independent organisation.

  • I'm in the exact same situation, however the right shift key broke, and activates randomly. This laptop only ever moved between a cupboard and a desk, without the tiniest bump, but after a couple months of very light use the shift key breaks. I now have to have sticky keys enabled permanently.

    Also the only way to enable sticky keys on the login screen is to triple click the power button. You would thing they could just put a button for the accessibility accessibility menu next to the one for the keyboard layout switcher, but no.

  • love how they printed it out in dark mode.

  • I think having 0% as the 4th choice would have actually made it more interesting.

  • That is interesting. WASM seems like it's just a replacement for the TrueType hinting language (which is already a VM). So I guess it's benefiting from a more standardised and audited virtual machine.

    It's also fairly limited to what it can do (source):

    you can influence the process of mapping a string of characters into an array of glyphs, you can determine how those glyphs are positioned and their advance widths, but you cannot manipulate outlines, variations, line breaks, or affect text layout between texts of different font, variation, language, script or OpenType feature selection

    I don't see how the mentioned future drawing API will fit into that though.

  • Do you have a link for that, or a term I can search for? I'm not finding anything about it.

  • I'm not entirely sure how I feel about fonts containing WASM code... It feels like we're overcomplicating things a bit.

  • They do? I've always seen that as being up to distro maintainers, and out of control of the devs.

  • My cat is currently sitting on an identical pillow :)
