Inject this hopium into my veins.

They could just be one moba, one hero shooter and one last man standing, all online and all competitive.

Well, I guess your are right that everything is derivative. I also think some things are more alike than others and also some markets are more saturated than others. When Half-Life came out it was in a saturated market of FPSs but it also revolutionized the market. When Portal came out no one could compare it to anything other that a student project. Half-Life Alyx is still considered the no 1 most polished and complete game in the VR space. We'll see the impact that Deadlock will have I guess.

I percieve them as different to your run of the mill EA or Ubisoft, so I expect more from them. That's on me I guess. I'm not angry though, just disappointed.

The point stands that it's derivative. I'm convinced Valve can do better.

I literally swatted a mosquito the other day because it bit me while I was doing something else. I didn't feel it land, but I did feel the bite which triggered me to slap it out of existence.

That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that's not the case for me.

I was thinking of maps.me but I understand this is actually a fork of that. There's wikilok for proper trail navigation. And others that are less popular but still use the same base for mapping.

How is it better than all the other openstreetmap apps?

There's no idication that he's AI. People are allowed to have opinions you don't agree with.

How can you tell?

It's what I use right now and it's great in many aspects but I do still miss the graceful transition between languages that swiftkey was offering. With this I need to switch manually every time. With swiftkey I could write directly in any language and change in the same sentence and it could deal with it.

This is not ad-blocking related. The search results on YouTube are literal trash and there's nothing we can do about it.

Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.

That's the point I'm reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I'm getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It's a sad state that we've reached.

Kagi has all these options as well but everything can be disabled in the settings.

The connections you make in your head have nothing to do with the reality you live in. Seek help.

You give a bad rap to neurodivergents and being one has nothing to do with being right or wrong.

Where specifically could I find this recommendation so i can forward it to my IT department?

It's a Linux problem in the sense that like you say, the X window manager hijacked the middle mouse button for a different functionality way back in the day and the browser developers, and others as well, just respect that decision by default, even if it never made any sense. Many people are now used to it and prefer it like this so there was always resistance to changing it to how windows does it and just drop the whole mouse wheel does text manipulation thing.

If and until that changes to the sensible way, at least people like me have the configurations to fix it so I guess it could be worse.

Auto-scroll by middle click is not disabled by default in windows and never was. Not in browsers, not I'm PDF apps, not in file explorers, not in word processors. If this were a disabled by default feature no one would use it. It's in linux that you have to muck about with configuration to get it back to normal, which is using a navigation button on your pointing device to work for navigation instead of text manipulation. You shouldn't have to configure something to make it make sense.
