I know in QMK you can set up different layouts that you can switch to. This is used for switching between qwerty and dvorak and stuff like that. You could set up layers that have the space defined like you want it in each condition. Check out PDF(layer): https://docs.qmk.fm/feature_layers#switching-and-toggling-layers

The Planck keyboard default firmware does this on an 'adjust' layer: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/planck/rev7/keymaps/default/keymap.c

This is how I'd do it. But it's not something that you control from the computer side. Also, having it baked into the firmware means you can use that feature on whatever system you might want to plug the keyboard into. I don't know if that kind of thing is possible to set up with the VIA gui. But since you're using arch (btw), learning QMK might be right up your alley!

There's also this feature in QMK that I don't quite understand called the 'Programmable Button' that lets the software interpret certain keycodes before handing off to the OS (I think that's how it works? I might have that wrong): https://docs.qmk.fm/features/programmable_button

I hope that helps :)

Something something security reasons maybe? 🤔

Yeah, IPA is way too harsh. I think sticking with a brown ale, or even a kölsh is much safer.

Modern dating and the apps and stuff sucks for everybody (except maybe a few) in varying amounts for various intersecting reasons. The fact that our insecurities are priced into a company's business plan is no fun. It's just a truth that the default answer to the question, 'is this a good match' is 'no', and it's probably healthy to limit the influence that has on your self image in whatever way seems sustainable while also being open to serendipity. It's hard to feel good after being ghosted, but dang if it's probably better than getting any closer to that kind of person.

I used a local model based llm thing to separate a drum part out of a song that I was working on learning with some friends. That was a lot of fun, and didn't feel like I was ripping creators off.

I also recently tried out gemini's research mode thing to research a subject I already knew a good bit about as a test. It got some decent answers and showed its sources, which was great for double checking its work, but it still had that oddly verbose and repetitive quality to it. I asked for an audio summary and it spat out an absolutely horrifying uncanny valley fake podcast on the topic. I still kinda shudder when I think about it.

Haaaahaha classic. Awful, but classic.

The N thing gets me too - it seems to be within the last couple years that it's been an issue for me. I just chalked it up to the ergonomics of big phones, but now I'm wondering if there might be a software component. Like I don't remember it being a problem at all in the past, but now I gotta be super careful with my typing to notndonthisnallnthentime

If they could just stop autocorrecting correctly spelled words to other words I did not intend, that would be great. Had to turn off the whole dang feature because it behaves so poorly.

Nice win :)

Back in college this kinda thing would happen to me a bunch. The fear of forgetting would stress me out so much I'd lose sleep and compound the whole mess of problems. Ended up keeping a notepad by my bed to scribble my thoughts onto so I could give my poor brain a break for sleep.

Whatever happens, I hope you two can get back to hiking without the madness. There are tons of ways to address it tactically that others have gone into, so I won't make any additional suggestions but I can say that as a diagnosed adhd-haver I can super duper relate. I hope you get the diagnosis outcome and support from your partner that you need.

Agreed and welcome! Be prepared to engage in or create a new space for the communities you care about. Things feel like they're just getting started here, but that's ok. Good luck and have fun!

Dang - please report back if you figure it out! I was thinking of doing a complete system reset but hadn't gotten to it yet.

When medicated I feel like it's easier to stick to a task, but it doesn't help me with picking the right task so I think I understand some of what you feel. The Time Timer has helped me sometimes when I just need the extra bit of external help. The act of picking it up and deciding to use it helps reaffirm my intention of working on a thing, and then the visual indicator of time passing helps my really really bad time sense to be moored to reality a bit better. The mental UHG of beginning the work task seems to melt away pretty quick after that initial step. Then the medication helps to let me proceed without my mind wandering. Other stuff is a necessity like physical activity and enough sleep. Getting out of a misdirected focus is tough, so I feel for ya.

Yeah, also they're a non profit. Not perfect, but way way better than most at least ethically.

Maybe we can keep all the 'whubout macs' comments contained as replies to this comment 😆

I've used a little M1 macbook air since they came out for music production stuff and they're just so unreasonably good. That and Reaper will get you very very far. Audio stuff isn't such a heavy lift that you need crazy hardware like gaming or other graphic intensive workloads. Mine is finally starting to show its age when really piling up the more modern VSTs, so I'll probably get an M4 air when they come out.

I use a UA Apollo X6 as an interface, but I'd probably go for one of the more capable MOTU ones if I got another one. The MOTU M2 is a great little interface that I use on both my mac and PC as well, and I'd highly recommend it.

Is that G20 Semiotics I see on the right? Noice.

Awww, Lenny! I hope his third-eldest, Larissa is doing ok.

Great soundtrack on that one too!

Oooooh good idea
