crashmat··on Emacs and the mouse: A modest defense of the rodent
There are also some ergonomic split keyboards with a trackball or trackpad to the bottom left of the right keyboard to be used with the thumb like the UHK v2
crashmat··on Unciv
Yes, but do they get a vague idea of what's onscreen or could they really see what's going on in each tile, keep track of all the stats and use those to inform their decisions?
crashmat··on Normal Operating Sounds
Won't light heat things up by bouncing around anyway?
crashmat··on Reflecting on 18 Years at Google
Thing is, under capitalism large companies get significant control over the governments' actions. And large companies don't like not being allowed to be as powerful as possible, holding monopolies.
crashmat··on Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
Laptops also? I didn't realise it had gotten this bad anywhere but in Macbooks.
crashmat··on Zelda the Movie Shows Nintendo Has Learned Its Lessons
There are a couple others i can think of. Minecraft, Kirby. But your point does still stand.
crashmat··on Real vs. fake AirPods with industrial CT
There are lots of different types of drivers that work differently and they can all sound good or bad. I also don't think all wired earbuds/IEMs use the same kind of driver.
crashmat··on NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
Interesting. I'd never used an android before, and recently got a Pixel 7a on which I am running lineageos. Haven't found any rough edges other than that the home screen sometimes hangs fixed by turning the screen off and on again which takes less than 5s. What rough edges did you encounter?
crashmat··on NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
Yes but this is only for creators who are large enough. Smaller creators still get ads on their videos, but dont get paid for it
crashmat··on NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
But why would i pay when i could get it for free?

Maybe they accept the bs snake oil sponsorships because they need the money and assume their audience is smart enough to not get tricked.
crashmat··on Firefox got faster for real users in 2023
I think it's meant to be that due to the differing ways tabs are handled firefox uses more memory with only a couple of tabs but once you increase the number it uses less than chromium.
crashmat··on Firefox got faster for real users in 2023
are you talking about android or iOS? Because all iOS browsers are reskinned safari as per apple mandate.
crashmat··on Firefox got faster for real users in 2023
for me there seems to be a clear winner in every category but it is not always a particular browser. Seems they perform better in different areas. However chrome seems to be better in more areas.
crashmat··on Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation
Native children spend thousands of hours learning language. Just because a child can do it through some of the greatest effort of their lives at that point doesn't make it easy surely?
crashmat··on Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation
I think they might be referencing recieved pronunciation?
crashmat··on Let me tell you about me Gear Fabrication Syndrome
I think it depends on whether you can do stuff in the os even if it is not yet set up exactly perfectly. If so, then you can do stuff when you need to, and play with the os when you want to. But obviously some will be too distracted from doing anything such that that's still a bad idea.
crashmat··on My website is one binary (2022)
Why is it unreadable? I don't know about desktop, but on my phone it's perfectly readable
crashmat··on In search of the least viewed article on Wikipedia (2022)
So you think that because wikipedia guidelines are intolerant of intolerance and don't fit with your personal (bigoted) opinions on trans people that means they are misogynist?
crashmat··on Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket
sounds cool, but I'd much rather be able to set it to, say, 3 months rather than a max of 30 days.
crashmat··on The chat control proposal does not belong in democratic societies
just because there are (very) bad apples in a group doesn't mean that the entire group purely and only exists to take advantage of others. By your logic cis women also should be imprisoned for their identity because cisgender women have sexually assaulted others in prison
crashmat··on The chat control proposal does not belong in democratic societies
I don't know. It really depends where you are. P.S could you be any more insensitive and non-understanding of others' experience?
crashmat··on The chat control proposal does not belong in democratic societies
how is this different/better for corporations than for politicians? Also how do corporations, that focus their efforts on using the cheapest possible production methods regardless of effects on the environments or peoples' health, paying their workers the absolute minimum for them to continue living, and paying their shareholders the absolute maximum amount 'enrich others' by accident?

Not that I am defending corrupt politicians, I just really don't know what to do about this, and looking at all the bad things corporations do i can't comprehend how they would suddenly become good when even less regulated than they already are

crashmat··on The chat control proposal does not belong in democratic societies
problem is deregulation and privatisation doesn't work either, because then instead of corrupt politicians who make decisions based on greed despite being told not to, you get CEOs and big corporations who make decisions based on profit (essentially greed) because that is their entire purpose
crashmat··on Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey
so the newer version isn't even at all based on the one before 2.9? seems unlikely
