Will scaling work? 3 years ago

People have been killing each other for their entire history, I don't think that has changed. It's just that you hear about and see it more often now.

The demo is showing recording a web-browser He said it's not recording but taking a screenshot every 2 seconds and I assume it's not just for a browser but all text on the desktop.

I also don't understand the chatGPT component You give it context from the "recording" and it answers questions you give it with that context info.

It's usable if you can live with some small annoying inconveniences last I tried. I can't remember if there were more inconveniences but what bugged me the most was that the touchpad was too sensitive compared to MacOS, it seemed to register accidental touches on the edges more and accidental taps were easier. I tried figuring out if this is fixable with libinput or hwdb but eventually gave up. Also the shortcuts with Command key are way more convenient than the ctrl ones but this probably is configurable somehow. Some Java programs had scaling issues but that can be configured to work properly. Battery life was a bit worse I think, this is with the GPU drivers and no video playback, just regular browsing. Oh and external monitor support isn't there, I do use this sometimes on MacOS.

I saw Unexpected Keyboard recommended here, turns out it can do this as well among other things. Just tap Shift and drag left/right on spacebar. The main feature though is that you can enter the characters that aren't used commonly by swiping insted of holding on a key or switching to a different key view. You can also get Ctrl and Alt and you can like lock them as well which is useful in Termux.

Improving sleep 3 years ago

I don't understand going cold turkey. You said it had a difference for you. What was it? I've tapered off before, it probably took like a week at most and I experienced no headaches.

dude... whether it's jesus or eternal nothingness, it takes faith to believe in both. There's no evidence for any of this so the only correct answer is we don't know.

All empirical evidence from thousands of years of scrutiny

Yes, I'm very curious to see empirical evidence of what happens post-death and someone who lived to tell us.

I have used alcohol heavily, now I use it irregularly if at all. I just try not to take it too seriously since life is pretty short as is, I don't start hating myself the next day after a drinking session. Regardless what has made my consumption lower is my experience with alcohol, I just think about it's effects and often decide it's not worth it for me. I spend my free time on my PC and drinking just makes it harder for me to think leaving me with very little to do besides watching movies, tv shows, youtube, playing games, etc. I often rather just learn something about linux or computers in general, feels more rewarding doing that.
