  • aww … “The cableway replaced a funicular, on the same route, in 2010.” … cable car is probably better choice but the funicular was just plain fun

  • People who use Caps Lock for one letter

    Speed Typing King Sean Wrona on Not Using Shift Key

    Sean Wrona who currently holds a bunch of speed typing records uses it to type all capital letters. Instead of hitting Shift+letter he finds it is more efficient to hit CapsLock+letter+CapsLock in quick succession.

  • “Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.”

  • your only loyalty to the company is to the paycheck and that bag ain’t coming out of your paycheck (no matter how much your manager whines about it) – put on your best dead face (maybe mix in a little of “did you just shit your pants?” revulsion) as you hand over a bag and get him out of the store and out of your life as fast as possible – life is too short to give his ego anything other than apathy and disdain

  • being betrayed by the same guy who betrayed you however many times before …

  • “legality” has never stopped rulers before

  • 🎵 “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic” 🎵

  • you and your tan-flagged Obama-syndicalism

  • Permanently Deleted

  • not everyone can be Beck

  • (until they get a new lead dev, Ladybird is definitely not any type of “Good”)

  • the “leader of the free world” shops off the remainders rack at Walmart

  • “Don’t anthropomorphize computers. They hate that.”

    • as a human: no
    • as a computer: yes
  • “And I’ve had very little need for any kind of customization as the people behind my distro have pretty much seen to everything”

    I think that’s one of the key points (and Nick kinda quickly passed over it) – the Linux desktop environments have constantly iterated over options and changes that customization at this point is more a matter of showing off rather than being a necessity to make things workable or usable

  • “We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”

  • if you’re on Divinikey, take a look at the HMX switches (wider selection at Kinetic Labs and also at Unikeys/Unikeyboards out of Canada) – really good factory lubing, range of weights, generally a nice clear “tak” sound when bottoming out – each type of switch is basically HMX iterating on plastic blends and variations (ex. Jammy has glitter, Butter has fiberglass for a louder sound, etc.)
