For once we get a good support request with a detailed description of the symptoms, attempted troubleshooting steps, and relevant context. Show some respect and read the thing before insulting OP’s intelligence

Have you tried reading the post? They already did

What, you can’t measure the size of a room by timing the bounces of light hitting the walls?

I never heard of AltGr reffered to as “Meta”, except maybe in the sense of “Emacs modifier” which might be bound to it. Super is definitely the key between LCTL and LALT though

You can use Meta or Super for as a more agnostic term

No, it’s the sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don’t know why.

Zuck: They “trust me”

Zuck: Dumb fucks

Failing implies trying

Funny, to me it’s kind of the opposite - we need to give diversified environments where people can feel welcome, not trying to jam everyone into one big “community” which is anything but.

I think that’s what was great about the forum and personal website era. If you wanted a place where you can use edgy language and spend your time shitting on things, there’s a website you could go to. Unicorns and hopeposting are over here. Nerds and geeks are over there.

That doesn’t mean segregating and creating ideology bubbles. Everyone can visit and be part of any, and can stay well away from the ones you know you don’t like. Take /b/ for example: it is famous for having a certain demographic, and if you don’t want to see it, you simply don’t go there. It’s not in your face, they’re happy about not having “normies” there, you’re happy about not having them in your digital home, every one wins. And if you’re ever in a certain mood and would like to venture in the woods, it’s there.

The same set of rules can’t fit all the possible users, purposes, times, etc. And although I also subscribed to the thought bubble theory , the counterargument that it’s actually the opposite - the lack of “social glue” between participants in discussions, made a lot of sense to me.

At least they’ll never find a complicit management. Still it doesn’t matter, I’m going to enjoy this space while it’s nice :)

Exactly what the big platforms want, and exactly what’s different about Lemmy. Low-volume, high-quality interactions

I know for certain the CEO at my company is like that. Not even how or why to do something, but what we should do. Fucking mental

Not what you asked for, but you may be interested in getting a keyboard running QMK where you can define these kind of modifier overloading (and much much more) on the keyboard itself, so it’s “portable” and doesn’t require OS/DE settings

We know. But the point is no one is coming to save you, and things aren’t going to get better on their own.

Sucks, but well handled.

How are energy and power “loose terms”? Energy might be difficult to fully explain rigorously, but it’s one of the fundamental elements of our universe. And power is just energy over time

A brain can also do that

His last comment is from 7 minutes ago so I would say no x)

External drives are more prone to damage and failures, both because they’re more likely to be dropped/bumped/spilled on etc, and because of generally cheaper construction compared to internal drives. In the case of SSDs the difference might be negligible, but I suggest you at least make a copy on another “cold” external drive if the data is actually important

You can do almost anything given enough time and a Turing machine ;)
