  • I tried watching new star wars and they were all so boring. I remember from childhood pod racing and that red guy with double light sabers.

    I now see that people liked star wars for it's story, but for me it was just a cool space fantasy. That nostalgia didn't transfer for me.

    I don't very well remember the plot of the first three of the new movies, but I remember being bored, they felt slow and there were no hooks to make me care. After watching the third movie I just said fuck it and gave up.

    I might try and watch the old movies as a grown up, but at this point I'd rather rewatch Shrek after work then gamble on a franchise I probably won't like.

  • Notification syncing between devices is nonexistent in Teams and there are no conversation threads.

    In general teams is way more buggy with worse UX. I don't know if it's a thing on Teams that our workplace disabled, but there's no decent notification management. If I take a day off, I can set my notifications in Slack as mute for that day and I can manage notifications for messages vs mentions vs mute per channel.

    On Teams I can't permanently set Enter as new line, I have to click that rich text editor icon for every single message.
    On mobile Teams started doing this thing in group chats where, if I move the cursor with drag on space gesture and then move it back to the end of the message, Teams interprets this as a desire to "attach a program", like power apps (whatever that is).
    Pasting in code block also gets me every time. I'll start a code block in Teams window, go to another window, copy the text and click back on my code block. Teams just drops the cursor to the end of message outside my code block and by the time I notice I already hit ctrl+v.

    My last pet peeve is about formatted copy pasting and applies to Slack as well but Teams having more text formatting options shows more of an impact. Never, and I repeat, NEVER have I wanted to paste anything with formatting, especially if I grabbed it form a website, word, excel, pdf or a code editor. Why is it the default and nonnegotiable? I can change the default on Libre Office, why not on Teams? It's a chat app why would I need headings like in a regular doc?
    Every time it gets me, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, fuck ctrl+z, ctrl+shift+v

  • Tried salt and vinegar once, they were horrible

  • I scored 10/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

  • From my experience win+shift+s take a screen shot of all the screens. Print screen opens this small snipping tool widget at the top that gives me more control. Now the behavior might have changed since I've found it, windows 11 wasn't a thing back then and snipping tool got some updates in recent years.

  • Add Home/End buttons into your work flow to jump to the start or end of lines. Works with holding Shift as well.

    Works with Ctrl too

  • Ok, windows "hacks" I use at work.

    There's a setting in windows that opens snipping tool when print screen is pressed. This allows to select a screen, window or a rectangle. More than that, it also has screen recording functionality. Very good for quick screen grabs with no additional software required.

    Useful for multilinguals out there. Windows (and some linux distros) have an option to bind keyboard layout selection to open windows, meaning alt+tab'ing no longer requires switching between languages.

    EDIT:
    A phone thing. Some keyboards have whitespace and backspace drag functionality, that allows to move the cursor or highlight and delete text without blocking your view with your fat fingrers.

    ANOTHER EDIT:
    Having a mouse with at least two thumb buttons is a god send. Moving backwards and forwards between application pages is very useful.

    Also, for devs. Go through you IDE shortcut settings and configure (ctrl|shift|alt)+click shortcuts. Having mouse controls to navigate between declarations, usages and implementations of different code elements with intention is awesome.
    In the same vein: ctrl+(f|r) and ctrl+shift+(f|r) for find or replace in file or whole project respectively is really common use case.
    Have multicarret shortcuts that allow edits in multiple lines at once. Don't forget to add shortcuts like alt+(up|down) to move selected lines up and down.
    Configure shortcuts for code folding like ctrl+numpad+ and ctlr+numpad- to expand and hide current block or combine with shift to manipulate the whole file.
    And for gods sake use home and end keys, combined with ctrl and shift it allows for efficient navigation and selection within a file. Combine it with multicarret support and ctrl+side_arrow_keys and you have a way to sync multiple carrets and efficiently edit multiple lines.

    Finnaly: f1 – help, f2 – rename, f5 – refresh / run, optionally with ctrl, f11 – fullscreen, f12 – devtools.

  • This, I feel unproductive when I use a mouse without side buttons.

  • I use zsh autosuggestion and syntax highlighting plugins it gives me usable history search and completion functionality.

  • Not a computer hack, but some phone keyboards have backspace and whitespace drag, the former allowing to select a range form the cursor to delete and the latter moving the cursor. Way more usable than trying to fat finger cursor position and selection.

  • Combine home and end with ctrl to move to the start or end of the file. As a dev I use this a lot.

    I also have keyboard shortcuts for code folding and mouse shortcuts to navigate between usages, declarations and implementations. Onboarding people is a slog when they don't have the same shortcuts.

  • Unless the page uses shitty "link" implementation where buttons are use instead of actual anchor tags. Fucking SPAs…

  • Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
    After reading the comments I think I've never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn't leave an impresion.

    Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.

  • I rarely find good use for a semicolon sadly.

  • Lithuanian. We do have composite words, but we use vowels, if necessary, as connecting sounds. Otherwise dashes usually signify either dialog or explanations in a sentence (there's more nuance, of course).

  • My language doesn't really have hyphenated words or different dashes. It's mostly punctuation within a sentence. As such there are almost no cases where one encounters a dash without spaces.

  • Am I… AI? I do use ellipses and (what I now see is) en dashes for punctuation. Mainly because they are longer than hyphens and look better in a sentence. Em dash looks too long.

    However, that's on my phone. On a normal keyboard I use 3 periods and 2 hyphens instead.

  • I'm the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.
