My sincerest condolences.

Smart guy.

There are no bugs, it’s just not doing what you expect it to be doing…

… which, now that I think of it, can be said about all software in general.

You have a point unfortunately.

Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions

The irony is that it doesn’t specify which America.

Fully agree with the sentiment, and at the same time I think it’s a lost battle. Even more so with more niche tech like cameras (where one is usually invested into an ecosystem instead of having just one piece of gear that can be sold on its own 5 years in - like a laptop).

One of the few positives of today’s designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they’re not sought after.

A bit slow to be honest, but I’m shooting Eluveitie and Infected Rain this weekend, so looking forward to that.

Yeah, fair point. Thanks for explaining. Not a native speaker, so I kind of forgot about that.

General advice - don’t be picky about dedicated media controls; sure they’re nice to have, but they severely limit your choices (I was in that boat too). At the same time it’s very easy to make key combinations; e.g. the Caps Lock key very often gets neglected, and if this is the case for you, you can repurpose it to Fn, and from there you can do Fn+W to play/pause, Fn+Q/Fn+E for prev/next track respectively and so on (of course the specific keys are up to you). Look for QMK/VIA support over manufacturer-specific software.

Sorry I can’t give a more specific recommendation. I second the idea that Keychron generally have good value for the money, so do Vortex and Ducky (although Ducky have gone up in price while not staying very competitive).

“Пиян като мотика”. Translates from Bulgarian to “Drunk as a mattock”. I remember asking my dad about this phrase when I was a kid - “Why? Do mattocks drink?” - and he answered “No, they fall down”. Classic dad.

In this line of thought I like how “tool” is something useful in its primary meaning, but derogatory when used about a person.

We have a similar one in Bulgarian too: “Парен каша духа” - roughly the same thing, but without explicitly mentioning youghurt.

What’s next? Talking about healthcare?

That means the tip goes to the customer, right?

Then why list them?

Why do 98, 99 and 100 have no dots?

There’s some additional nostalgia attached to calling them with the simple fractions as opposed to the decimal ones, even if they mean the same thing. HDDs for example are still around and I’ve always seen their form factor as 3.5", not 3 1/2".

I agree with those statements if you’re just a consumer. However, if you’re some sort of content creator, the story is slightly different: your audience might be still solely on the platforms you’re trying to avoid.

Example: I’m a hobbyist photographer; I have like maybe 1000 people following me in total across Facebook and Instagram. I signed up for Pixelfed a few days ago; haven’t explored much yet, but I’d be surprised if I see even one person I know there. Even if I start posting on Pixelfed exclusively, my photos will probably still end up on Facebook and Instagram, possibly with zero credit. Maybe if I start posting to Pixelfed in parallel and slowly move away from Meta, I don’t know…
